HOW Tipsy Passenger Happened to Lo-
cato in Good Farming Region.
"The wind blew passenger off my
train when / was railroading in the
Western country" said q conductor
now on an Illinois run.
''But / didn't know it until three
years after the occurrence, " he con-
tinued. "He was ticBeted for South
ern California and several times dur
ing the day be asked me questions.
Soon after his last question L missed
him from his seat. Later in the day
he was still missing, but his oyercoat
was on the back of the seat.
81 asked other passengers if they
had seen him leave the car. No one
remembered it. 1 searched the train,
but failed to find him. then took
his coat, and turned it in, making a
report on the case. The company held
it for some time, and when no inquiry
was made the company advertised the
coat in the hope that the mystery might
be solved. There was no response.
This only spurred the company TO re-
new it's search, and know shat sew
eral hundred dollars were spent in an
effort to find the owner of the coat.
You see, railroad companies have souls,
in spite of an opinion held by some TO
tbe contrary.
''And now here is one for the country
editor. Such one heard of the in
cident and printed it in his paper.
CuriOusly enough, one of his subscrib-
ers, who read the story, was the man
who lost the coat, and he presented
himself at the company's office, proved
his property, and got it.
"His story was that he imbibed
pretty freely, and stepped out on the
platform to get fresh air. The wind
was blowing a gale, and before he
could get purchase it swept him from
the car. AS he was drunk the fall did
not hurt him. I do not say this, how
ever, as favoring too free indulgence in
liquor,

Quaintances or some familiar object.

Gently, quoted with approval this ex-
planation: The more concrete the
idea the more readily is the word used
to designate it forgotten when the
memory fails. We easily represent
persons and things to ourselves with
out their names. More abstract con-
ceptions, on the contrary, are attained
only with the aid of words, which alone
give them their exact shape in our
minds" Hence verbs, adjectives, pro-
nouns, adYerbs, propositions and CON
functions are more intimately related
to thought than nouns are, and can be
remembered when nouns, or names.

WORDS OF WISDOM,

Want OF care does us more damage

Private charity must be discrimin-

you ought, and not what you please.
If a man has a little ability, people
abuse him because he does not "do"
more.
The dwarf sees farther than the
giant when he has the giants shoulders

knowledge of human nature that not
one person in a thousand would obey
the injunction. Without doubt the
advertisement to which attention was
directed in this way was more thor

charcoal thus sold is a residue Of the

years Maggie had been dropping;
