Kiply Siahi, the popular ticket clerk at the, depot i of the a few days ago took the bridle off his inventive genius and turned it loose in direction of a ticket sl.imn- a would not make on his hands. Tile ticket stamf hitherto in use in the office has a vice- like jaw; the superior maxillary being- a hinged lever a -has to be hit a pretty vigorous blow with the tpalm of the hand when it is desired to stamp, a 'ticket.

Today there (110 round trip- tickets to Springfield 1 sold, besides -the usual number of local i coupon tickets, etc. Each of the i tickets had to tie stamped, twice, 'A-hiea would mer.n 1.220 Allows on the iron knob on top of lever.
