Passengers were shoeIes~.

'"The passengers on sleeper run ming fre.n Taxarknna to Memphis over the Iron Mountain Railroad had a rather remarkable experience few nights ago which they will not soon forget" said travelling man. "They awoke in the morning some forty miles west of Memphis to find that not man. woman or child in the car possessed a pair of shoes. Even the Pullman con. ductor. who had caught few hours sleep was shoeless. Such howl you never heard before.
 'It all came about after this fashion. There were two sleepers on the train before it reached Little Rock At the latter place one~was cut out for the night, or rather switched off to lie over few hours tot be sent northward to Kansas City. The porter in the Memphis sleeper had gone forward to join the porter In the Kansas City sleeper where both were to shine the shoes of their passengers, The porter in the Memphis sleeper had collected all the shoes in his sleeper and carried them into the other sleeper and while both negroes were at work they both dropped off to sleep.
 When they awoke their car was standing in the Little Rock yards and the rest of the train had proceeded to Memphis When the railroad authori- ties were advised of the situation the porter of the Memphis sleeper and all the shoes were bundled up together, placed On locomotive and a wild ride to catch the Memphis train began. 1t was overtaken just before 1t reached Memphis and the barefooted passengers had their shoes restored to them. The sleepy headed porter sprang from the sleeper just as the train crossed the bridge into Memphis. He knew that he would be discharged. so he did not even report at the Pullman companys office "--Birmingham News.
