says:
"Lemme shake muh feet er lii en- stop er

The tired crowd is always willing, and the
request is met with a chorus of go ahead"
he piccaninnies jump on the ends OF the

out of the way of their bare feet, and begin
in bunch. Usually one of them sings and
for few minutes they do double shuttle

1t brings nickels also; and when the coins
are tossed out there follows a scramble that
is far from being as peaceful as that of the
Texas dogs. Unless each piccaninny gets at
least nickel, there is a fracas when the train
goes. And if one gets nickel more than the
others there is also a scrap.
AS the Limited runs out of Southern Cali

barded with great punches of California pop

return, they are UNNECESSARILY delighted, as
their shining eyes plainly show.

story illustrative Of The suspicion with
which people often view new ideas and
inventions. In pioneer days settler near
the present town OF Albany, Missouri,
bought for his wife the first cook-stoye
ever seen in that part Of the State.
II was an object of great curiosity, and
the woman's sext-door neighbor-who
lived ten miles away-came to see how It
would work.
Without comment she saw The dinner
cooked; she ale the meal with judgment
held in reserve, and then remarked, with
a shake OF the mead:
"Well, Sarah, II cooks all right, and the
victuals taste good. but don't believe II

"ElSe'S miserable I" she declared, and
as time hung heavy on her hands, she
proceeded to tighten her friends slavery
by frequent telephone calls, Specialize

the telephone had rung FOR Elsie the third

how his own annoyance was reflected on
