TALE OF THE TRAVELLER.

TALE OF THE TRAVELLER.
I've travelled up and down the land
And crossed it in a hundred ways,
But somehow cannot understand -
These towns with names chocktul or N s. y
For instance, once it fell to me
To pack my grip and quickly go
thought at first to Kankakee,
But then remembered kokomo-
20. Kankakee, or Kokomo."
I sighed Just which do not know?
Then to the ticket man I went
He a snappy man, and bald,
And C Confessed that was stalled.
"a much-K'd town is booked for me-
I wonder if it's Kankakee.
Or if it can be Kokomo?'
There's quite a difference" growled he.
'''Twixt kokomo and kankakee.
He spun yard of tickets out
The folded kind that makes strip
And leaves the passenger in doubt
He i dipped ID the tickets out l say.
And asked: Now. which one will IT BET
To Kokomo or kankakee."
And still I really did not know
I thought it might be Kokomo.
At any rate I took chance.
He struck his stamp machine a blow.
And l. a toy of circumstance.
Was ticketed to KOkomo.
Upon the train ! wondered still
If all right it should be;
Some mystic warning seemed TO MI
Ny mind with thoughts OF hankakee!
Until at last 1t grew so loud.
At some big town | clambered out
And elhowed madly through the crowd.
Fs ets aRd9 aes 9n s anShST T F9gte
Where do you wish to go?' cried he.
yelled: II have no time to waste
Please fix me up for kankakee!
Again the wheels. now fast. now slow.
Clicked: Ought TO go TO Kokomo!
Well. anyhow, did not heed
The message that they sent 20 me-
/ went, and landed wrong indeed
Went all the way to Kankakee.
Then In a rush. doubled back
Went wrong again. ia have you know
There was call for me, alacki
Within the town Of kokomo.
And then learned-confound the Iuckl

"Neurasthenia," according to the medical re-
ports of the navy. appears to be on the Increase
IN the service. A number Of valuable officers
are now on sick leave and under treatment for
this complaint. The medical officers attribute
it to the necessary condition Of affairs due to
the dearth Of officers available for service
which imposes upon those on the active list
long tours of duty or remote stations. where
opportunities for diversion are limited.

quiet but determined effort is being made
to suppress the electric mule which has been
in service in Ohio for the last season The au-
thorities have been asked to revoke the fran
chise Of the company which introduced the new
system of towage. 1t is said that some OF the
freight handled was not transported by boat
from which statement it would seem probable
that it was either carried the locomotive or
that the latter was used TO haul car on the
towpath Besides, part of the merchandise in
question was pershable. To outsiders these
criticisms look like technicallties but they may
result in stopping the further use of electricity
on Ohio canals.
