HOW snitn,. Fr,-ud Got Through.

How Sm1t FftNho Got VnToo8ns
They were out In Kansas about lOO
miles and wanted to reach Kansas
City. One of them had pass for
John Smith and wife. He was John
Smith all right, but his friend could
hardly pass as Mrs. Smith. Although
they were practically without funds.
they boarded the train. "Take q. seat
h the rear Of the car" said Smith to
his friend.
Then Smith went forward and sat
down by a young woman. Soon they
we're talking like old friends, and the
subject Of tickets was brought mp by
Smith. He asked her to let him see
her ticket. 1t was not of the variety
that requires the signature of the pur-
chaser.
Smith examined 1t until the con-
ductor came through, and then he
handed up his pass and the ticket.
Pointing to his friend behind, he said,
''The extra ticket is for him." Tie
scheme worked. To this day the
young woman does not know that she
was once Mrs. Smith for short ride
through Kansas.-Kansas City Times.

lation. Along with its magnificent re-
ports of the proceedings of the Maine
legislature the Journal will carry the
full service of the Associated Press.
The Kennebec Journal will have, In
addition to the Associated Press reports
from the National Capitol, valuable
special news service from one of the
leading newspaper workers of Washing
ton.
With all these advantages to offer for
the winter, when the evenings are long
and people have more time for reading
than during any other portion of the
year, the Journal makes the following
extraordinarily low offer. The Daily
Kennebec Journal will be sent to any

session, for $1.OO; The Weekly Kennebec
