Show Not a Century, But Enough. Lady hurrying across the broad concourse con-course at a treat railroad station, making for the train gate and evidently evident-ly afraid of missing the train, with a long wait if she didn't get It. But at the gate she meets a colored porter, a man of tranquil mind and pleasant voice, who says to her, quite evenly: "You ne.dn't hurry; you've got two minutes yet." NoV. two minutes Is not n century; in fact the margin was still narrow; but the lady knew that the porter knew the time exactly and what he said and the way he said It relieved the tension. She surrendered her hag to him and gave the tip to him very willingly. |
