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. Sirs. Ellen A.
