THE MUSINGS OF A CONDUCTOR


By VIM. II. Severson.
The boys and girls come aboard,
On their way to school,
Some to be useful men and women,
Others to be fools.
Some laboring man viii touch q lady's dress.
Who Will shake OF the dust; -
Forgetting that from dust we came.
And to dust we must return,
To moulder and decay until we shall pass
away.
The millionaire and the poor man
SIT side by side;
One In rough clothes. the other in clothes
That are not neat;
Each pays q fare to occupy q seat,
Some lady will be robed In seal skin furs
and nun,
And say. THE car ie hot and stufyr'
The poor devil may be cold,
Because he hasn't food and clothes to make
Him warm enough.
They spread themselves over the seats
As much to say. 81 am SO grand
And you are not. SO you can just stand up."
(To be continued. Stick around.)

members of Connie Mack's outfit who
has not returned his signed contract,
although il was mailed 10 him ON de-
celnher 81. at the same time the rest
of the contracts went out. Nearly
all Of the other cts have been
returned. with tho signatures Of the
players attached.
Manager Mack has acknowledged
that Baker had not signed. but said
that he did not anticipate m trouble.
and did not consider Baker as a hold
out.
81 had a talk with Baker several
days ago." said Connie, land do not

slider him a held-out. His contract
may reach me by any mail"
Everybody here acknowledged that
Mack usually knows whereof he
speaks. but it has been suggested that
Baker has received a good deal OF
praise recently for his hitting abilities.
and he might think he deserved a lit
tie more money than the contract
mailed him calls for. Connie laughs
at this suggestion.
Chief Bender has not signed up as
yet. but Mack explained that the
"Chief" is ON a hunting trip in Georgia
and it is very likely that the contract
has no reached him.
