railway ticket that took u sudden jour-
ney on its own account. 1t appears
that as a northbound train on the Colo
RADIO and Southern road passed n Of
the stations a passenger In q forward
a raised a window, and in an in
slant his ticket was blown from his
hands. The passenger naturally gave
it up for lost and was much surprised
when the baggagemaster handed it to
him a little while later. It appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window a southbound train was pass.
ing. The suction of that train, which
was moving at a rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with it, and Us it passed
the rear end of the northbound train II
blew into the door Of the smoking car
There it was found by the baggage

OF the beggars so characteristic Of
Russia's ancient capital a writer says:
1.-THE old city Of Moscow could not
easily be ASSOCIATED from the $4,000
beggars who haunt its streets. The
city belongs to them. If the city rats
own the drains. they own the streets.
They are part Of the city; they are in
perfect harmony with 1t. Take away
the beggars and you destroy something
vital. Some are sc old and weather
battered that they make the Kremlin
itself look older. and Of those who lie
at the monastery doors some are So
fearfully pitiable in their decrepitude
that they lend power to the churches
