[ should be satisfied with saying & few things to him over the telephone if I couldn't do any better! “It isn’t that | want to rage at him. I want merely to assure him that | am filled with the deepest admiration for any human being with a nerve as colossal and a contempt for his fellow man as sublime as are his! “He runs the railroad which is the only means of getting out of my sum- mer resort. All during the season | heard vague rumors and rumblings of discontent from the fioating popu- lation at the inn, who, of course, were obliged to escape by rail. In an in- dolent fashion I learned that nothing ever occurred on that road in the way that it should. People rather inferred that the train crews sat up nights planning new and ingenious ways to upset the schedule and keep people waiting. “To be sure, it was annoying to have to take a train at 11 o'clock at night, but we got to the village by dark and had our dinner. The bus left at 8 for the station a mile away, 80 we went in it. Three of us could kill time easily, we said. We sur- vived the blighting depression of the village station for half an hour and then we took a walk. It began to rain, “On going back we heard the bag- gageman saying that the train was forty minutes late, but that a sleeper would run down from somewhere else arlier and we could get aboard that ind be picked up later by the train. In half an hour the report was that the sleeper was delayed by a sand- slide on the track. We had talked all we knew and were getting to the point where we eyed each other with zrowing dislike. “A woman with five small children idded to the joys of the evening be- wuse if one child cried all the rest piped up, and if they all stopped 1 think she must have pinched them to start them up again. “Then Harry Gilfist burst in upon his wife and me to report a lunch- room a block away. We fled to it, and started in on ham sandwiches to kill time. We ate sandwiches with zan on the caged apple pie and the petrified doughnuts. Harry reported that the main train was two hours late now, because of a washout. “The rain poured down. The sta- tion agent slept on the table. The baggageman said terrible things out loud to himself and demanded to know how any man could live on four hours' sleep a day and why was a railroad anyhow? Mrs. Gilfist and I sat hunched up in a dry corner and vawned and straightened our hair irritably, ‘Whadyu say? “Down the track two men were sarrying lanterns close to the ground in a wavering way. ‘Wha-they doing-’ Mrs. Gilfist demanded, crossly. ‘They're searching for the train, my dear,’ 1 told her soothingly. ‘They think maybe they'll find it slipped down a crack where the rails join.' ‘Don't be silly!’ she snapped. ‘I shall die if 1 can’t go to sleep!’ And the rain poured down in the miserable black silence. We could hear the agent snore. ““There isn't any train, there never was a train and there never will be a train on this line’ Harry Gilfist chanted mournfully. ‘They put up this station just as an ornament and added the ticket agent for a touch of realism. If he had a Gothic nose, now—' ““The sleeper’ll get here at 2 ate baggageman. “Ull resign tomor row! “*And we have to get up at 6!’ said Mrs. Gilfist, hollowly. ‘Oh, how those ham sandwiches made me feel!’ “At 10 minutes after 2 a train am bled in from somewhere, and, recling from weariness, we dashed to the sleeper end of it. ‘I wish I owned this road'" 1 confided to the Pull | man conductor. ‘I'd like to hack it up with a little hatchet and use it for kindling' ‘Huh!" he retorted. “If [ owned it 1 wouldn't take so much trouble with it! [I'd just step on it and exterminate it!’ “After hurling umbrellas and suit cases into our section and finding without doubt that it wasn’t out sec in the lower berth, who was annoyed because the corner of a suitcase land ed against his stomach, we finally got adjusted and snatched about two min utes of sleep, I think, in the midst of the switching and bumping and back ing np. “When I woke up in the morning at daylight 1 looked at the scenery a long time before 1 addressed Louise Gilfist in a shrill whisper. She looked out and said we weren't in Chicago, where we were supposed to be, but at the junction twenty-five miles from where we had started. There was a | wreck ahead of us, the porter told us | cordially, and maybe be could pro- | ceed in about five hours. | “That was when my desire to meet ’ the president of the road came into | existence—and I'm still livirz on ! hope:” { !

Duncan, New York, ad | vances the view that in eases of m-p-f gis, vaccination can be :u-rmnphsh@d[ by administering by mouth to the pa- | |tlent a small amount of the dis charge from his own wound. The author cites as an example of nature working by thic method the fact that ;nnlmals lick their wounds and that | they never have septic wounds ex- | cept on the head, where they cannot | lick them. Autogenous vaccination by | the mouth tends to be curative in all | stages of sepsis, but is especially | prompt in the earliest stages, when | the germs have not become virulent, and In the later stages when the in- fected area has been well walled off. | The author has used this method for |two and a half vears with good re- | sults. He believes it is the simplest, | oldest and most natural method of curing wounds. -Medical Record.
