Traveller Surely Was in Predicament
That Afforded Cause for
MournfuIness.

The conductor on the California
Limited between Chicago and Los An
geles noticed that one Of the passen-
gers sat in his section hour after hour
and sobbed. The first night out of
Chicago the conductor was tempted to
ask what the trouble was but having
learned from previous experiences
that one is better off minding ones
own business he did not do so. On the
second day, as the passenger contin-
ued to weep and wall, he was even
more strongly tempted to go to the
mans aid, but still he refrained. On
the third day, however, the sobs Of
the traveller were so great that he
could not resist any longer and he
approached him politely with the ques-
ton:
please tell me what is the trou-
ble?"
"Oi, oil, OIL" sobbed the passenger.

he was rather unhappy about it. He
