You are herded like SO many
sheep. The coach was master
enough on the field; now he be-
comes impersonate authority, and
he knows it. You can't open the
window because you'll catch cold.
You can't eat in the dining car be-
cause the food is not properly pre-
pared, and you can't drink water
out of the cooler because it's got
germs and things in it. You can't
go to sleep because it may make
you restless that night. You can't
read because it is likely to give
you a headache. You can't talk
too much because it will excite you.
You can't sit in the smoking COM
partment on account of the
smoke. You can't go in the front
car because it's too warm, or on
the platform because it's too cold.
You can't talk over the plays be-
cause somebody's likely to over
hear what you say and give it
away. You don't even get a
chance to give your ticket to the
conductor, because the managers
, bought 'em all in a block.
When you arrive at your Jour-
ney's end, you are hustled into an
omnibus or something and logged
off to a hotel. AS you pass through
the lobby there's big crowd of
cheering Oshkosh B'gosh boys, and
you recognize a dozen frat mates.
You can't talk to them. It's supper
time.

go together. You can't come in
late. You all eat the same thing,

play follows: A frightful eXplo-

of many lives and the injury Of
many passengers. Among those
who escaped were Colonel Gould,
a Kentucky banker, and his wife.
Unframed among the passengers
was also found motherless babe.
The banker and his wife, taking
pity on the baby girl, adopted her
and reared her as their own child.

Rumor is abroad to the effect that
the republican campaign committee
organized the finances Of the con-
Germ this year on different basis
than has been usual with that party.
Custom has had it that each office
holder affected should pay a pro
rata of the income derived from his
county job through taxation of the
people.
Under the present organization
the drain would be too heavy on a
certain family, a member of which
is even now chairman of the organ
ization. Mac" would have to chip
in from the sheriff's office. Fred
would be expected to come up
from the protecting advisors
office. Brother-in-law Stafford would
bring in a contribution from the
poor farm. There would be also
the principals and subalterns in the
Doak-Doust wing of the tribe.
And, to sum it all up, the "heft'
of the contributions would be drawn
from one distinct division of the re-
publican cohorts. That's why the
campaign committee was organized
as it was.
Everybody would have been work
ing but father, and him they made
chairman.
