[Although this story has been published by nearly all of the daily and weekly papers in this vicinity, w$ will publish it for the benefit of a large number of our readers who do not take any other paper ahd therefore have not read it:) Bob Burdette of the Burlington Hawk- eye, tells this yarn: On the road once more, with Lebanon fading in the distance, the fat passenger drumming idly on the window panes, the cross pasengers soundly asleep, and the tall passenger reading \Gen. Grant's Tour around the world,\ and wondering why \Green's August Flower\ should be printed above the doors of \A Buddhist temple at Benares.\ To me comes the brakeman, and seating himself on the arm of the seat, says: \I went to church yesterday;\ \Yes?\ I said, with that interested in- flection that asks for more. \And what church did you attend?\ \\Which do you guess?\ he asked. \Some union mission church?\ I haz- arded. ''Now,\ he said, \I don't like to run on these branch roads very much. I don't often go to church, and when I do, I want to run on the main line, where your run is regular, and you go on sched- ule time, and don't have to wait on con- nections, I don't like to run on a branch. (Good enough, but I don't like it.\ \Episcopal?\ I guessed. \Limited express,\ he said, \All pal- ace cars and $2 extra for a seat; fast time and only stop at the big stations. Nice line, but to exhaustive for a brakeman. All trainmen in uniform, conductor's punch and lantern silver-plated, and no train boys allowed. Then the passengers ure allowed to talk back at the conduct- or; and it makes them so free and easy. No, I couldn't stand the palace cars. Rich road enough. Don't hear of a re- ceiver being appointed for that line. Some mighty nice people travel on it, too.\ 'Universalist?\ I suggested. \Broad guage,\ said the brakeman, **does too much complimentry business Everybody travels on a pass. Conductor dosen't get a fare once in fifty miles. Stops at all flag stations, aad won't run into anything but a union depot. No smoking cars on the train.
