SHE WOULD NOT BE STOPPED.

Th» gates at the passenger depots which shut out all people not having tickets for the trains were closed at the Union Depot against an elderly woman wearing spectacles and using an umbrella for a cane. " Uan'fc pass without a ticket," said the man at the gate as she came up. " I want to see if there's anybody on the train going to Port-Huron," she answered. " Can't pass without a ticket, madam." "I've got a darter in Port-Huron, I have." " Can't help it, please. My orders are rery strict." . • j "I toll you I want to send word to my darter!" she exclaimed, adjusting her spectacles for a better view of the official. " Yes, but we can't help that. Please show your ticket." "I want this here railroad to understand that I have got a darter in PortHuron, and she's got a baby four weeks old, and I'm going to send her up word in spite of all the gates in this dep&t!" " Please show your ticket madam." " I tell you once more " "Please show your ticket, madam." She gave the old umbrella a whirl and brought it down on his head with all the vim of an old-fashioned Jog-raiser, and as he staggered aside she passed him and arid —"There's my ticket, sir, and I've got more behind it ? Mebbe one man and & gate can stop me from sending word to my darter to grease the baby's nose with mutton taller if the weather changes cold, but I don't believe it! " And she walked down to the train, found some one going to Port-Huron, and came back j humming the melody of " Three Blind j Mice/'—Detriot Free Press.
