Railroaders Bad Guessers.

A bunch of railroad men standing outside the Hammond building were making guesses at what the load of wire cages halted by the driver at the curb were intended for. “Some kind of a lobster pot,” said a Hocking Valley man. “Looks more like a bird trap,” remarked an Ohio Central agent. “Rats,” guessed a C., H. and D. man. "Seems to me they’re coon catchers,” hazarded a chap from the Northwestern. “What are those things for?” they asked in chorus of the driver when he showed up. . “Waste paper baskets for the parks,” he answered. The railroad bunch broke up.
