Some of these days a small boy
will take a "long ohanoe" at the
Southern Pacific depot that will be
iust a little too long. Then there will
be sorrow in some family and a life
long bitter memory to some railway
engineer. Boys have the habit of tak
iug short rides on the steps of the
cars, although this praotice has been
stopped to a great extent by the vigi
lance of the officers and the ordi
