WHEN THE TRAIN COMES IN.
In Country Towns 1t Is an Interest,"

From the New YORK Eyening Post
A busy railroad station is a grand
child's picture book, for him who, OBJ
serves II. All the child has to do Is to
look; the leaves are turned before him.
There, in all the colors of the rainbow,
are countless pictures to cram himself
with. And what is a rather curious fact
Is that a railroad station may freely be
classed among humorous picture books.
Other picture books, such as church, the
ater, Broadway. Fifth avenue, political
meetings ball game, and so forth. have,
Of course. many funny pictures. But,
whether IL is that almost all absurd peO-
pie constantly travel. and those with
no touch of the molly do but seldom,
or whether as here, nothing else goes
forward seriously to occupy the atten-
tion, ones mind is left more free 10 be
struck by the righteousness OF all man
kind, so II is that perhaps as humorous
a place as one may fi.Id Is a busy rail-
read station. And one must be very
blase who no longer feels an enjoyable
stimulant at the approach Of an expected
train AT the station.
The psy biology of the arrival of a rail-
road train at the station belongs to the
proper study OF mankind, and could be
m de into an interesting little mono
graph. AS the train becomes due one
feels but half a mind on the conversa-
ton, supposing one to be Sonversing; the
other half is waiting for the train. One
has, too, feeling. faint at first. looming
stronger within one, against continuing
to sit quietly inside (supposing one 10
have gone within). where one is. An
impelling to go see II the train is not
coming numbs ones brain. A like con-
taglous resuessness breathes through the
waiting-room. People begin to stand up
by their grips. Some go without on the
doors and windows. pacing the platform:
they return, some of them. and one
scans their expressions eagerly-they are
discourasingl blank. After a bit, they
go out again, OF others do, and return as
before: wholly untitled now, one can see,
for any concentration of thought.
The train Is late. There is an alarm or
two. At last, an unmistakable elasticity
impregnates the place. A distant whis-
tie is heard; It stirs one like the tap of
a drum. The train is coming! Ones pulse
beats high as one moves into the press
toward the doorway. The whistle is
heard much nearer. Then again and

mass rushes across the light before one.

a seat. But first. one is stopped until
