Here is a good story, and a true one,
illustrative of the inferior railroad
service with which we nave to con-
tend in those days OF war and winter
weather; last.Friday afternoon, when
train No. 81 stopped at Pilot Knob,
among the passengers who got on
board was q hungarian. When the
train auditor came around to collect
fares the Hungarian told him he want
ed to 60 St. Louis, but when he had
produced all his cash the auditor an
nounced to his passenger that he lack
ed just fifteen cents Of having sutfi-
cient money to pay his fare to Tower
Grove. Thu lIunkie pleaded but the
fare collector was obdurate, aud after
much parleying the former paid his
way to Iron Mountain, discriminating
from the train at that station. The
train sped on its way, and the poor
hungarian, doubtless bordering or
the hard.heartedness Of the world in
general and train auditors in partic-
lar, fingered OF the rjght-of-way, hi
eyes fastened on the train until it dis
appeared in the distance. On the ar
aival of the train at Bismarck the pas
sengers were informed there would BIZ
a wait there of three hours, pending

Belmont Branch. These waits al
Bismarck are of frequent occurrence
nowadays J Before the Belmont trair

the main line train were not a littlt
