Unsophisticated Come Also From The Cities.

The Monon News tells the following rather amusing story about the verdancy of a big city traveller, who. coming from a big city, would be supposed to be wiser: “When 37 pulled in one day last week a neatly attired young lady emerged from the train and made her way to the waiting room of the depot, which at that hour resembles a union station by reason of the surging throng. Hire she remained seated until all trains had departed and Agent Gwin left his office to go to dinner. The voice of the lady arrested his attention after he had reached the platform and he turned about to ascertain her want. She said she had gotten off here, supposing that when Monon was called, it was the name of the station in that city. She further explained that she was, not accustomed to traveling ahd had given the conductor her tfck# from Chicago to Indianapolis. When told she would have to wait about two hours and a half for another train, she asked If she could not get an auto to take her to Indiafiapolis. She waited, however, for the nextstrain and when she bought her ticket for the point to which she had already paid, the agent gave her a receipt for it and referred her to G. P. A. Cockrell, who would see that she was re-imbursed when apprised of her mistake. Her home is in Chicago.
