BAD BOY WON'T FORGET.
HE THREW BROOKLYN MOTH.
 FRS PURSE
And Tickets From the Train and They
 Were Put Or.

A young married woman of Brooklyn,
 who has just returned from a short va cation in the south, had a rather dis
 quieting experience during the progress
 of her return trip to New York. She
 was accompanied only by her two and
 half year old son. who has already
 developed strong yearnings toward the
 strenuous life. The young man is pop
 ularly known as Bud"
 The young matron purchased her
 ticket from Washington and boarded
 the noon train. Whether it was the in- Vigorating air of the national capital in
 the neighborhood of the White House or the vitality of youth. the infant pro-
 dizzy became restive as soon as he had
 taken his seat in the parlor car. His antics amused the passengers in the car during the journey to Baltimore, but
 this stage of the journey was accom-
 plished without serious mishap.
 It was after leaving Baltimore that
 the real trouble began. The infant be- gan by demanding money" from every
 body in the car. To appeare this rather
 laudabIe desire of the young man, his mother gave him half dollar piece which appeared to satisfy him. The mother drifted off into the perusal of an exciting novel. She had placed her
 ticket In the chatelaine bag that she wore at her belt and besides the ticket there was in the bag nineteen dollars in oney, the check for her trunk and vari-
 ous other articles.
 Bud continued quiet and pensive until the train had run about ten milees out ! of Baltimore and had attained it's top speed of about sixty miles an hour. Then his ambition again began to ex- pand
 More money, mamma" he murmured quietly at first, but with increasing ve- hemence and persistence. The mother did not notice the demand. Bud seized the chatelaine bag and tore it from it's fastening. Without warning he hurled 1t through the open window of the car.
 All this happened before the mother had awakened to the situation. She | reused herself from the novel in time to
 see the bag land in ditch by the side
 of the railroad.
 Several other passengers had wit messed the incident and one of them jumped to his feet and pulled the bell rope to stop the train. This brought hthe conductor into the car and after reprimanding the passenger he said that it would be impossible to stop the train. The young mother was deeply dis tressed at the incident, and her discom- fiture was increased by the announce ment of the conductor that, by the rules
 of the road, he would have to put her
 off at the next stop, Philadelphia. Different passengers offered to lend the woman carfare to New York, but when the conductor announced his in tention of putting her off at Philadel-
 phia her fighting blood was reused.
 Although the half dollar she had previ-
 ously given to the boy was~all that
 stood between her and abject poverty, she declined all offers, and announced that she would fight the railroad if it
 did not provide her passage to New
 York.
 After reaching Philadelphia the young
 Brooklyn woman racked her brain for
 friends or relatives in the Quaker City.
 After a delay of three hours the happy though occurred to her that she knew the counsel for the road. When she entioned his name to the agent the pass
 to New York, which had been withheld,
 was forthcoming at once, and she
 reached her home in Brooklyn that
 night without further ishap The fifty
 cents provided ferriage and carfare. When Buds father heard the story there was a short conference in a back room, and the incident was duly im- pressed upon the bad boys mind Brooklyn Eagle
