MISTER TRAIN CALLER.

Say, honey, was you ever in
the waiting room of a big city
depot? And did you notice the
feller that comes in every few
minutes and makes pretense of
calling the trains?" That's, he
is supposed to be telling the
crowd what train is getting ready
to start, so they can grab their
bundles and crawl on.
But you might listen all day
and you never could guess what
the old fool was trying to do. The
average person would be apt to
think he was a Mexican greaser
choked on dog-liver and trying
to cuss the railroad in the
Chinese language.
There he stands with his bay
window stuck out like a bump
on a tree, and bellers like a bull
calf lost from it's nanny, and if
you had to be hung or under
stand a single word Of that bel
lering, I wouln't give much for
your neck.
7 could tie a bullfrog to a stick
and poke him in at the window,
and he could call trains'' a
blamed sight better than some
fellers I've heard try it.
It seems that the only qualif-
cation the railroads require in q
train caller' is that he must
have a voice like dragging raw
hide over a tin roof, and if he
should happen to speak word
so that anybody could understand
it, he would lose his job.
If you don't think I'm telling
the truth, you just take notice

Jackets of Elton style, and dainty
waists indistinguishable in general ap-

second illustration? 1t is effectively
developed in one of the new tartan
silks of ecru tint and various tones of
light blue. 1t has the fashionable frill
of tulle standing upright about the
neck and down either side of front
closing. The chemisette is also of
tulle. Long close-fitting sleeves and
short peplum are notable features of
the garment. A girdle of Goblin-bl
silk encircles the waist, With it is
worn a three-piece skirt, with back
laid in soft pleats and right-front over
tapping the left side. A button cover
ed with blue cord finishes the skirt.
The stylish appearance impaired to the

simplicity must rule, much discretion
should be exercised in the choice of
