FREE TICKETS FOR ALL
The booking office oi! jin underground, railway station i;i Puns seems hardly the kind of place in which to look for bargains, but the unexpected happened on a recent night at the stulion of the Avenue George V., when passengers found themselves being urged by the booking clerk to take tickets for anywhere (says a correspondent (if U\o London "Daily Telegraph"). The booking clerk (a wonutn) called out to those who entered the station, "Come and take tickets. It is our bargain day, and we have only a few left. We are jiot selling them) but giving them away. Take your choice, either first or second class, for they are free. We are liquidating stock." Many passengers profited by this surprising gift oi' free passages, but ono lionest fellow told a gendarme of what was happening. On inquiry it was found that the booking clerk who was nnxious to distribute free tickets was not mentally responsible. It was only after long persuasion that she was prevented from continuing her philanthropic task. She is now being kept under observation.
