THE FREIGHT BUSINESS.

Net Thea ~6O-as-Y0u-PieaseS H0P-HaEard
Thing Many Suppose
Most people have an idea that freight
Is the last thing that railroads look
after. Many profess to believe that q
piece Of freight once started on Its
Journey Is allowed to loaf along at its
own sweet viii and pleasure, stopping
where 1t wishes, and staying as long
Is It likes, and only bringing mp at its
destination when there Is nowhere elsa
to go. When you have waited day aft :,
day for that piano which was shippe>-
4 month ago you are ready to adopt
that opinion. But don't be In q hurry.
When that piano box shows mp In
Poughkeepsie at the time It should be
In Portland, the Poughkeepsie agent
does not uncase the instrument and
give q series of boxcar recitals for the
next two months. You may think he
does, but he doesn't Not bit Of It!
There is no welcome anywhere for the
wandering wfIlIes Of freightdom. No
agent wishes to be caught with missing
freight piled mp in his yard or house.
The truth of the matter Is. the rail-
roads are continually punching lag
gard freight In the ribs and admonish-
ing It to move on. After you have lis
tened to a freight agents description
Of the elaborate plans taken to look
after freight you VIII marvel that Q
single package ever goes astray. But
the man who Is waiting for that piano
knows that It does.-Lewiston Jour-
