Smart Youth Had II But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform Of the rail-
road station of small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat In the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and. walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
"All change here. This car will be
left here
The occupants OF the crowded car
uttered exclamations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face Of the young man
assumed bland and childlike expires.
sion as he settled himself very com.
fortably in an empty seat.
Shortly after. the station agent put
his head In at the door and said:
Il suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't 60
ing, aren't you?"
YES" replied the bright youth.
