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.
