This machine re vealed the future of all living mortals. It waa there I remembered the task imposed upon me by toy class, name ly, to tell their destinies.

To those familiar with the situation at the local station the above needa no comment. : You have to fall in line and wait for a long time to buy ticket from tbe agent and then wait for the same agent to make out the checks and in a large number of iLStaaees ascer tain the amount of excess baggage, all of which takes considerable time. Tbe fault is certainly not with the efficient and obliging ticket agent, Mr. waiter. but it is simply esse where one man can not sell tickets and cheek baggage at the asms time and give the public the kind of service they are entitled to. ,-J- -'v -Wif iv.
