III. IN THE WAY SHE WAS TRAIN


DR. Russell II. Conwell, the famous
pastor of the Baptist Temple In Philadel-
phta, in q lecture delivered in New Haven
not long ago. predicted wonderful pro-
gress in rapid transit facilities In the near
future, and at the same time deprecated
the slowness OF present railroad travel.
To illustrate this point DR.. Conwell told
an amusing story OF woman who was
travelling with her child. The train was
delayed by many tiresome and seemingly
unnecessary stops, and when the conduc-
tor was collecting fares the woman re-
fused to pay for her little girl.
THAT child is old enough to have her
fare paid said the conductor, very stern
ly.
"well, perhaps she is old enough now"
replied the woman. but she wasn't when
the train started "-Harper's Weekly.

clared that football should be prohibited pend

should be stopped during the entire season of
