All I tie while, too, careless folk who tive no heed to sanitary tows flourish like green Mr trees and live long In the land. At thl moment when mul titudes of parents are. taking every precaution, often unaTalllngly, to protect their children from the Infection of Infantile paralysis, other parents are serenely permitting their youngsters to disport themselves in the gutters where evil germs exist in myriads, if bacteriologists are to be believed, and these youngsters suffer no til. The ways of the germ are hard to find out, yet when the fear of him once takes possesion of any man or woman, life loses something of its ipeacefulness and the sense of security vanishes.

TWO TICKETS TO NIAGARA FAILS Tie Up Business at the Union Station and Cause Vexation of Spirit to Travelers, Two to Niagara rails." Such was the announcement that paralysed a waiting Una of ticket seek ers at the anion station on Saturday evening. It was but ten tntnutes to train time and the travelers were nervous and im patient.

Two men had previously held places at the ticket window for what seemed an unoonsolonable period, while they fortified themselves with accident insurance, in addition to tickets and a varied fund of information, extracted from the much harrassed agent. Then came a mild mannered youth who without the slightest preliminary warning, exploded a bomb in the waiting ranks in his rear, by announcing in the most matter of fact way: "Two to Niagara Falls." The agent was game and entered upon a mad search for routing and rates, while a fat man on the outskirts of the crowd groaned aloud and condemned to everlasting torment, all "boneheads who waited until the train waa in sight before buying tickets to Madagascar." The of the youth at the window assumed a deep vermllllon hue, but he otherwise gave no sign of not being totally deaf. The agent, evidently much flurried, was turning over books and pamphlets and eventually, Just as a long drawn whistle proclaimed the advent of the incoming train, he produced two tickets about a yard in length and said: "These will have to be tilled in with Ink and I haven't time to do it. It means at least fifteen minutes' work and it couldn't possibly be done in time for you to take this train." The young man insisted that the train In question was the only one that would suit Ms purpose and the fat man who was brandishing a five-dollar bill and demanding ticket 1o Terre Haute, grew almost apoplectic with Impotent wrath. Finally the agent developed an inspiration.

"I will sell you llckels to Terre Haute," he said to the Niagara Falls pilgrim "and wire ahead for your tickets there." On that basis the matter was adjusted and everybody heav ed a sigh of tellef. The young man faded from the window and the wants of the remaining tourists were quickly supplied. The fat man, having secured his tickets, seized his grips and fled for the train, still breathing anathemas againRt all railroads, their agents and more especially people who didn't know enough to buy railroad tickets without inconveniencing half of the traveling public. As for the "two" who wanted to go to Niagara Falls, however, they were so much absorbed eaeh other, that the temporary tying up of the business of a railroad system, was a matter which disturbed them not tn the least. Moreover as the situation dawned upon the other passengers, who but a few moments before had been meditating marder, exasperation gave way to smiles and once again was the good old truth made evident that-ail the world loves a lover.
