A Lonu Ride.

AS usual, the 5 81 train for Chicago
happened along about 6 :02. A hundred
or so impatient gobs boarded it. The
snail stopped to chat with every street
crossing on the way In. 1t was long,
wearisome ride. Finally Evanston was
reached. Here there were half hum
dred trunks, and few dozen mail
sacks. Another wait of 20 minutes.
The baggage smashers were taking
their own sweet time in piling on the
luggage.
A COB stuck his head out Of the car
window and addressed one of the rail-
road minions.
"Say, jack" he called. "We were
young when we left Great Lakes."-

When asked what she wanted, she re-
piled that the villa in which she and
the other nurses were quartered was
on fire. After the fire had been extin-
guished, she was asked why she didn't
give the alarm at once, instead Of rum
ming the long distance to the officers
quarters. Her reply was eve aren't
