TO PRAY FOR MAYOR
Chicago Wants Lid Clamped on New
Years Night.

Chicago, Dec. .28.-Prayer service was
held in many Chicago churches last
night for the purpose of swaying, if
possible, the action Of Mayor Harrison
IN announcing that the New Years eve
celebration in downtown hotels and
cafes would be allowed to go this year
as formerly.
Earlier in the day the mayor receiv-
ed several letters and indicated that the
prayers would be lost. He said he had
no intention of resembling his order.
He made the further announcement the
so-called reveIry would not be inter
fered with up to o'clock New Years
morning.
s.The mayors action in setting aside
the 1 o'clock ordinance will open the
flood gates of intemperance and row
dyisnl," was the statement of one min

questions the public ask depot people.
Perhaps the people about to travel
are excited and do not realize what my
answer mas been to their query as 70
the time of the first train leaving for
Kansas City, said Mr.. F4arries this
afternoon Another question often
asked is, what time does the 2:20 train
go2 We realize that the questiOner
means to ask if that train is on time
or how late it is and answer accord
ingly, but some ticket men get vexed
and show loss of temper
However, here, Guy Gardiner, city
Passenger agent. and all Ct US try to
be courteous always. We never know
what the circumstances are. A person
may be called out of town by illness
or death and be quite confused when
they ask questions
One day a man called up and asked,
What is the fare to South Dakota2'
/ told him that he must tell me where
he wished to go. but he wouldn't tell,
insisted that we should know the rate
to South Dakota from Topeka
''One time a man asked me while q
crowd was buying tickets and a train
was standing on the track, if that train
stood long2 / replied No, it doesn't
He complained to headquarters that I
had refused to sell him q ticket but
the matter was finally cleared up and
I wasn't blamed.
Forgot Change.
THE greatest difficulty is to make
change when a train is about to leave
and several are waiting for their tick
cts On ar occasion a man bought
two tickets to Minneapolis and gave
me a $40 bill / pushed the change
($4.4S) to him but he walked off with
out it. A man who was with him and
whom I supposed to be his companion,
said he would take it to him. He took
the money and walked toward the. other
man.
"A few days later we learned that
the passenger did not receive his
change, that the other ticket was for
his wife instead of his supposed COM
panion, and that the S. G. simply stole
the money
I'VE see a great deal of contrasts of
life. A newly welded couple Will buy
tickets for a honeymoon amid laugh
ing and Joking, and the next minute
a person with tears and sobs viii ask
for a ticket to take him to a funeral.
Had Three of Them"
"Often the ticket buyers will tell
their troubles. One time a woman
asked for a whole fare and half
fare to Rossville. I asked her If her
child was under twelve and she re
piled, Yes. I have three of them.
TT is not infrequent that people
will tell you that their children are
over the half fare age limit but that
they are willing to risk the conduc-
tors not knowing it If we will sell
them a half fare ticket-but we new
er do
