TOO TECHNICAL.
I A small boy who lives in an important railroad centre had been ' accustomed to visiting the station and making friends with the officers of the company. He persuaded his aunt to play train with him the 1 other day. He arranged the chairs in a line and then said : - | “You be engineer and I’ll be conductor. Lend me your watch and get up into the cab.” Ho then hurried 1 down the platform, timepiece in hand. | “Pull out, you red-headed, piefaced jay,” he . shouted at tfce astonished young woman. “Why, Willie !” she exelaimed in amazement. “That’s right, chew the rag,” he retorted. “Pull out. We are five minutes late already.” That boy is not allowed to fraternize railroad men any more.
