WHY THS TRAIN STOPPED.
The Favor Asked of the New York Ce*. |
tral by a Resident of Yonkers.
A residont of Yohktrs called at
tlio office of tho superintendent of
tho Now York Centval in this city
ono day, and, sending in his card,
was promptly admitted to tho pri
vate room of that official. As lio
tfliips considerable freight fiver tlio
Central’s tracks, his reception by
tlio suptirint cgdofft was si comßil One.
“I am about to take niy family up
to Saratoga Saturday nlqrVii^g,” , lio
said, "and liavo comb to ask .you as
a favor to have tho 8:30 train lluggod
at Yonkers, so wo can get to Sarato
ga early in the afternoon. It would
ho oxtrcnmly inconvenient, for us to
ho compelled to go down to tho (Jou
tral station in order to hoard the
train, ami I think 1 can safely ask
tho favor of having it stopped for
mo at Yonkers. ”
The superintendent plokod up a
time table from his desk, glanood.it
over and said;
"\Veß*~t he Wiles of road are
verystAct on tbbsubieutof flagging
jMiuaJtt-teko on *W*4e
tLofi4 iiutTdesignatwith' stops on the
train schedule. We seldom grunt
buoli requests, evbn ttf important
ofßeials of tho road. If wo were to
comply with ono-qunrtor of the ro
quosts of this sort tlmt we receive,
our express trains would bo ablo to
make no butter thuo than the ordi
nary way trains. But we appreciate
the fact that we receive a good share
of your shipping business, and for
that, reason are disposed to accom
modate you. You oan depend upftn
tho 8:30 train stopping at Ydnkers
next Saturday morning. Have your
family ready to got on board, as tbo
train must not be delayed.”
Tho caller expressed bis grateful
thanks to tho superintendent and
departed. At t>:UO tlio following
Saturday morning he nud his fami
ly were driven up to the station in
groat haste in two couohus, while an
express wagon unloaded several
trunks. Having purchased'tickets
for the party tho gentleman bustled
out upon the platform,and appronch
ing the station agent with the
haughtiness of a railroad magnate
said: , ||
“I anppose you- receivod
from tbo superintendent to flag the
8:30 train for mo?”
Tho agent looked at him meekljj*,
and replied: "
“No, sir. I received no.orddfs
whatever.”
“ Why, that’s strange,'.’ho salctV
“Tlio superintendent told me posi-Tt
lively that tho. train would ho*step-'
pm! hero for mo.”
Tbo smilo that spread over-the
station agent 's fnco was interpreted,
by tho gentleman to im.icatdd doubt
as to liis voracity, and lie boctußOjj
properly indignant. The agent stjll j
insisted that ho had received tla or-s
elm's regarding tho flagging of tliet’
train.
"Well, tiro order must certainly,
have been sent out and may hifro
miscarried, ” said tho gentleman.
“Can't you flag tho train, tinyhow?”.
“No, sir. That is out of the ques
tion. I w ouldn’t flag that trainji for
Ohauncoy Depcw 1 lira seif unless I
had orders from headquarter:; to do
so. It would cost ine my job if lb
. . \W
:jr~At*tbain moment the'llmiu | i u
lighted in tho distance, and tbo§s> ]
'tlomiiu bdgnn to pranco around lljo]
platform in a state of great exoiio
mont. Ho piouded, bogged and oii
treated tho agent to liag the train,
and Anally threatened to report him
to tho superintendent,, but .all in
vain. As the' train drew near tho
station its speed' slackened, and it
finally stopped. Tho waiting family ;
was finally bundled on board iu a
hurry, and as the gentleman climbed
on tho car steps just as the train
started bo looked back at tiro station
agent triumphantly and shouted in
a voice that was audible to overy
one on tbo station platform:
“Didn’t I toll you this train was
ordered to stop here for me?’’
The agent grinned and retorted in
stentorian tones:
“Why, this train has been stop
ping here every morning for the last
15 years.”—New York Bun.

gOLEMN EXPERIENCES.
61© Hud Had Eaous!) to Know All About
, IVlutrliiHnjy.
A minister s vviio vug conceived
it to be her duty to give a kindly
and. motherly word of advice to tho
young couples who dame to the par
; soiiago to bo married one day went
clown into tho parlor in advance of
' her husband for tho usuai little chat
with a couple who bad called "on
Important business,” as they had
expressed it.
L The good woman found the couple
■sitting side by side on a sofa in
►bridal array. Tho bridegroom, who
was evidently several years younger
:’tban tho bride,'sotJmed a little flus-
Itrated, but the bride was perfectly
[calm. After a few commonplaces
jit ho minister’s wife .stud:
“You renlizo of -course that mar
riage is a very solemn i ling.. It is
i not to bo entered into lightly. It is,
for ought to bo, for life.”
f “Yes, that’s what I used to toll
iJim, ”. said thq bride.
I "Jim?”
•vi 4jt)h, ho was my first huslvand. ”
- w^ and!
thettuncs-afftuV. -AiSSn
. hTiitic3 of married lifo are. They
Ore uwny and. serious. Both llus
band and wife must learn td bear
and forbear. ’’ \
‘‘ Yes, that’s exactly what I used
to say to Bill. ” , .. ~
. “To Bill?”
‘‘Yes. Ho was my second hus
band.”
“Ob, you must realize deeply the
solemnity of marriage because of
these experiences. ’ ’
" Yes. I used to say to Jake that
marriage w.as no laugliin matter.
Jake was my third lmsbapdA’
‘‘lndeed? My words must seem
usoloss to you after”— ,*
"Well, to tell tho honest truth,
there’s.mi.^hty.fowpointers you kin
pi vo a fatly who’s had three hus
bands an all of ’em livin. If I don’t
know wliat tbo rocky side o’ matri
mony is, I don’t know who dobs.
Serious business? Yv’ell, 1 should
say so! But Willie an mo are startin
out right, an I guess we’ll stick fer
goad, eh, Willio?"
.Tho bridegroom blushed and sniil-
I ed faintly, and when mo minister
entered at that, m uncut the bride
ayc£j to her loot and said:
‘ Coins on, Willie. Hero goes for
another solemn exper once!”—De
