General +. d. Grant is one of the
innumerable hosts who have discov-
cred in their travels railroads where
perpetual competition is being main
tanned to find out how slow a locomo-
tive can really go. Down South there
is one of these railroads and the Gen.
eral vouchsafes for the truth of the
following complaint which was ad-
dressed to the leading paper in the
district by local planter. He wrote :
''Is there no way to put a stop to
begging along the line of the rail-
road? For instance, yesterday all
aged begger with a wooden leg kept
pace with the express all the way
from Paint Rock to Nola Chucky and
annoyed the passengers exceedingly.
The trains should be made to go fast
er or the beggars slower"
General Grants story is topped by
another one related by w. j. Bryan,
who declares that he found a train
out West which had this notice dis
played in the cars:
Passengers are requested mot to
pluck flowers while the train is in mo-
tion."-Chicago Tribune.
