Stopped the Train to Get Her Umbrella—Misunderstood.

Just as the milk train was pulling out this morning a lady came dashing up the platform and be lieving that she was desirous of taking passage on the train an attache at the depot called to the road master who was on the rear platform. He rushed inside and pulled the bell signal and the train was brought to a standstill. But the lady did not want to board the train. She had just left it and had forgotten to get her umbrella. Through the courtesy of a passenger the umbrella was found and tossed off the train. The next person who wants to get on a train 'that is pulling out will have some trouble doing so.
