Waiting for a Car.
Two strangers, with grips, stood on
the corner of Church street and Salem
avenue yesterday at about the noon
hour. One of them leaned with a tired
air up against a telegraph pole and
made "comments on the state 00 the
weather, the accumulation of ice on
walks, and other seasonable topics to
his companion, who replied in grunts
of assent. Occasionally he -would vary
this by leaving his support, walking
a few steps away and peering up and
down the two streets. A citizen,
with nn idea of mnklng new acquaint
ances or of welcoming two prospective
additions to the next census of the
city, strolled across the street after
awhile and saluted, politely asking if
they wore looking for somebody.
"Ves, which way is it to Forest
City?"
A comprehensive sweep of tho hand
that covered the whole horizon from
west to east, Indicated the exact loca
tion. "Well, we've been waiting here near
ly an hour for a trolley car to go that
way! How often do they run?" petu
lantly queried tho man leaning on the
pole.
The courteous citizen gasped several
times, nearly swallowing the cigar he
was smoking, and then answered cau
tiously: "Well, they's supposed to make a
trip an hour when they's running on.
schedule time. The last car down
from there passed here some time ago.
Slaybe there'll be one up before long.
Are you going to wait?"
The two strangers allowed that they
thought they would, and the dispen
ser of Information passed on, occa
sionally taking a backward look anj
hitching his overcoat pockets closer
together, so as to hug himself moro
tightly. After an hour moro the wai
ters hailed another man, who gave
them a tip that the "last cur down"
passed that corner sit days ago. What
they said then will take too much
type to repeat, but a little later they
were bound for Forest City in a bug
gy. A Former Resident Dead.
