Traveled on Old Ticket.

A curious thing happened the other day when a woman boarded a train on the Tyrone and Clearfield branch of the Pennsylvania railroad and presented a ticket calling for a passage from Wallacetown to Pittsburg which had been issued in 1885. The conductor was curious to know how It had been preserved so long, and the lady explained that twenty-five years ago she had prepared to make a trip to Pittsburg, purchasing her ticket at that time. When the train pulled into the depot at Wallacetown en route to Pittsburg, a friend disembarked for the purpose of visiting her, which made her own trip impossible then. On going home she pat the - ticket away. Finding It the other day she decided to obtain her money’s worth and took the long-planned journey. -
