LITTLE OLDNEW YORK
By Norman
'(The Chilly Ride of Mr. Wallace,
as told by the J. O.B.)
n. y., Thursday mr. wallis is
g. p. a. of the eary ralerode.
. g. p. a. stands for genrel pasen
ger ajent, but this does not mean
that rar. wallis has anything to
do wit;h the pasengers, he just has
a swell offis and a hole bunch of
stenogs and clerks witch he
bosses around
there is quite a lot of people
rides on the eary ralerode, es
peshly people living in towns
where there aint no uther rale
rode, of witch there is quite a
number in jersey
sum of them are sumtimes herd
to' remark that they wisht they
knowed mr. -wallis, there is a
thing or twothey would like to
tell him about his ralerode, but he
dont mix around mutch, so the
pasengers dont often git a chanst
to push anything into his ear, but
the uther day they did
Boiler Well Iced.
it was rite in the middel of that
terribel cold snap, the thermom
icker was down to 10 below over
in jersey when a train witch is
known in the winter time as the
chilblane express pulled out of
caldwell for n. y.
it was a little late pulling out,
becos the biler of the ingine was
full of ice and the wheels was all
froze together, but bimeby they.
got me oia Kitiei inaweu out ana
hooked on the cars and away she
went, clippin off her 8 miles an
hour, though it made her grunt
some
The cars is suposed to be heat
ed, but they wasent, becos it took
all the steme the old ingine could
make to keep 'herself, goiri, and
the pasengers they hopped
around and slappd their arms and
cussed sumthing feerful
When the- chilhlane express
got to montclare there was lima
seen otomobeel setting at the de
po, and mr. wallis was in the
limaseen, he got out and got into
the trane
one feller happened to know
him, and" he tipped uther guys off
that the g..p. a. of the eary was in
their midst
say, bill, ses one feller, can you
tell if you hvae got feet or not
no, sam, ses the uther feller,
there mite be sumthing in my
articks but i cant tell till i take
them off, did you see anything of
sam's ear, it just fell off
NMaking No Bets.
o never mind anuther guy pipes,
if sam will write a letter to mr.
wallis, the g. p. a., he-will git him
a. new ear, it will be mutch
cheaper than buying new engines
and cars in place of these ones
thats bin running sinse.the sivel
war
just then the old chilblane ex-,
press stopped, she was .froze up
titeand she dident move, for 40
minnits, and all that tinie .all
them pasengers they talked ab.out
mr. walljs and his ralerode, there
wasent hardly nuthing left to say,
when they got through
they hope mr. wallis will buy a
new ingine for the chilblane ex-y
press,but they, aint making no
bets ' johny
