The lightning express ndu
Just moved out of the Union
station, and the conductor
had emerged from the baggage car
and begun to take up tickets. Coming
to a gentleman with a pale complexion,
red hair and gold spectacles, he punch
ed his ticket. handing it back with the
remark. Don't stop at Blimton.'
Don't stop at Blimton? Then what
did the agent sell me a ticket on this
train for?'
The conductor passed on without a
reply, clicking his punch. turning from
right to left and left to right, like the
president bowling to a crowd.
..See here, Mr.. Conductor. IL you
don't put me off at Blimton I'll make
it hot for you"
And If you don't shut up III put

conductor gave a terrific stop pull ON

were carrying the lifeless body of the
passenger into the baggage car. where
it remained till the train reached Its
first regular stop.
Six months after this event the night

informed that only local trains stopped

Victor Huso's Response TO the Old

A Frenchman, writing recently upon

pretty anecdote Of Victor Hugo and a
blind beggar. The beggar was an old
soldier. very feeble and quite sight
less. who was led every day by his
little granddaughter to a certain street
corner, where he waited patiently for
such scanty arms as the hurrytng pub
lie might drop into a small box that
hung from his neck.
One day a group Of gentlemen halted
near him. chatting, and be heard the
name by which they called the one

next day the blind soldier bore on bis
breast a placard with a stanza to
which was appended the name Of Vic.

were quintupled. The lines may be
thus translated:
