A. S. Coutant and wife were guests of their old time friends, a. V. Rogers and wife, Wednes day. Mr. Coutant is publisher of the Oregon Observer at Grants Pass, that said, find been than went Fred Lockley, in Monday's Journal, recites tho following: The Pullman conductor can tell of odd things that come un der his observation. Recently I found a Pullman conductor in a communicative mood. He is an old time Portlander and most of the well known Port landers who travel at all know him. "Some very funny mis takes happen aboard sleepers," he said, "You saw that woman trying to get into the wrong berth just now? Well, hardly a week goes by that that doesn't happen. Last week on the way up from San Francisco, an old lady came to mn so agitated she could hardly talk, and 'Conductor, I want you to my husband. 1 haven't gone from our berth more five minutes, and when I back into the berth my husband was gone and there is a perfectly strange man in tho berth. 1 located her husband or her. She had turned around nnd had discovered a perfectly strange man across the aisle form her berth. Not long ago a well known city official of Portland was on his way to San Francisco. He is a married man and a very modest man. Across the aisle from him was a mother going to Berkley with her daughter. During the night the young woman went to the lndiefl' dressing room. I thought she was head ing for the wrong berth, but before 1 could stop her she part ed tho curtains nnd slipped in with tho Portlnnd city oflicinl. I heard her say, "My it's cold; 1 am going to cuddle up to you.' Tho Portlnnd city oflicinl had been asleep and, waking suddenly, ho said in a cross and nBtonishcd tone, 'What the.' The young woman gave a frightened squeak like a rabbit, bounced out into the nisle and dived into the proper berth with her mother. Next morn ing they wanted mo to change them to nnother car, but the other cars were all full. The city oflicinl was as cmbarasscd about it as tho girl was. He made me promise not to tell any one nbout it, so I won't; at least I won't tell you his name." The more dignified a man is the funnier an accident to him seems. Former Governor T. T. Geor is a man of consider able dignity, some time ago when ho lived in Pendleton, he made n sudden trip to Portland Ho had to tako an upper berth lio round ic hard to dress the upper berth. Ho finally wriggled into his trousers. He tucked in his shirt as best ho could. He never realize what a job it was before. He decided to finioh dressing the men's dressing room. Ho looked out and found that most of the borthB were made up, Looking as digmticd ns a man can who is carrying His shoes nnd socks and coat and vest over his arm, ho started down tho nisle. There was a titter. Ho stopped and looked renrov ingly nt tho young womnn who seemed threatened with hyster ics. lho titter became a unf versal roar, tho women joining in the merriment. Ho looked nacK anu iound his shirt was not tucked in. Ho had tucked in half of ono of tho sheets nnd tho rest of the sheet was trailing along behind. Ho made a record time to the dress ing room and did not emerge till the Union denot was reach cd. in XhE thank you for your T T nafrmnaw the nasi: - g u g year and trust we may g count you among our cus- $ tomers for the New Year. $ 3 Wishing you a very merry g Christmas.
