tors Great joy.
Omaha World-Herald.
Many schemes have been laid to
work the railroads for free ~transporta-
ton, but the lynx-eyed conductor gen.
orally nipS them all in the bud. How
ever, once in a while the conductor is
successfully worked, as was the case
on a line leading out of Omaha last
week.
A couple of young men wanted to go
to Chicago for a few days of Christmas
recreation; but did not have enough
money for two round-trip tickets and
the usual Christmas libations and 9TH
er expenses while in the big town on
the lake. 1t therefore became neces-
sary to work a scheme, which they
did. In order to explain their scheme
it will be necessary to designate them
as Brown and Jones. .
Jones bought a ticket to Chicago,
while Brown bought a ticket to the
second station out of Omaha. The con-
ductor took up Jones' ticket and put a
slip in his hat. marked to the end of
the division. Quite naturally, no hat
check was issued to Brown. After the
second station was passed Jones was
sound asleep and his hat check in plain
view. But Brown, having no hat check,
was approached by the conductor, who
said:
why didn't you get off at the last
station?"
What would I want to get off there
for?" queried Brown.
Because that's where your ticket
took you"
THE hello it did," exclaimed Brown.
my ticket reads to Chicago"
well, where's your hat check?" ask
ed the conductor.
"You didn't give me any"
''Then let me see your ticket"
AS Jones had passed the ticket over
to Brown Immediately after the conduc-
tor had worked his train on leaving
Omaha, he had no dif1culty in showing
transportation to Chicago. What
could the conductor do but give him
a hat check to the end OF the division?
The conductor looked through the
car and saw that it was filled with pas
sengers, many of them for Chicago and
most of them asleep. Clearly It was
impossible to awaken every passenger
with a division hat check. So Jones,
who was in the car behind. rode on to
the end Of the division. So did Brown
in the car ahead. They managed to
work the next conductor in the same
way, and are now having lots Of fun
in Chicago. But they will be playing
in hard luck IL they catch either or both
of these conductors on their way back.

decorations, breathing afresh the gen.

doubt the central. the formative, idea
Of the Pan-American Exposition.
without exhibits there can be no expo
sition.
Each new and well arranged exposi-
ton is a new edition of a worlds ency-
ciopedia constructed by a scientific and
exhaustive arrangement of material
things. 1t is also a landmark, a mile
stone in the history Of the worlds prog
ress and the development of mankind.
No one may expect, no one should de-
sire, to read through from first to last
the marvels presented In a universal
exposition. AS we'll expect to memorize
the Library of Congress OF of the Brit
ish Museum. But, were the exposition
or the library truly universal. every
man should find therein the latest IN
terance which the world can give upon
any subject within the scope OF human
inquiry. Unless this be the fact, the
exposition is in some degree deficient
in the fulfilling of its whole duty. Its
duty may be expressed less exhaust
lively, perhaps, but with more practical
truth; thus: 1t is a place not in which
anybody i'll learn all it can offer, but
in which anybody may enlarge the
scope of his information. How far the
Pan-American Exposition can realize
this criterion of completeness and of
excellence will depend upon the area of
space at is disposal and the skill of it's
officers in the management of that
space. 1t looks now as if it will become
not an encyclopedia of all knowledge,
bu. IN edition de luxe of the most ex-
cellent selections.
In this phase of the Exposition will
be found it's most instructive value.
Whether it will also be the most edu--
cative will depend Upon the individual
who is the recipient.
The exposition has a third phase, rem
dering another element of education
through it's power of amusement. Amid
the whirl of sounds and scenes in the
exhibit departments mind and body &C
quire intense fatigue which Graves rest.
The toll of simple observation becomes
wearisome. Music becomes a restful
solace. The musicians wand lends
new life to tired limbs. There was
some froth at the Chicago Midway. But
regarding the Midway after the lapse
of seven years me is convinced that out
of it came more enduring and prac-
teal information and education than
there was of mere ephemeral foam.
Years of travel leading to some of the
remotest quarters of the earth would
have been required to give even the
casual observer SO much insight into
the manners, customs and conduct of
peoples differing from us in race, color,
religion and habits of life and thought
as might have been gathered in a sim
gle Journey up and down the purlieus of
the Midway. An excellent condition of
the Midway was its concentration.
While it was of the exposition, it was
wholly by itself. Some things shown
