Picked Up At out Town.A handsome vestibule passenger coach has recently been made a part of the equipment of one of the dally passenger trains running on the Atlantic Coast Line between Albany and Brunswick. The announcement Is. made that In the course of a few. weeks a similar coach will be given' each of the three other dally trains between the same points. The coaches designated for this service have lately been running on the winter tourist trains to and from Florida points and compare favorably with the best day coaches on'trains in this section.This first of the vestibuled coaches to be put on the B. W. caused a funny thing to happen a few days ago.A resident of Worth county had been spending the morning In Albany j and hurried to the depot a little be-! fore 2 o’clock to catch the train due to leave over the Coast Line at that hour. He was a little late, and as he rushed onto the depot platform the train was pulling out.Throwing several of his bundles upon the renr platform and holding other packages under one arm, he swung up the steps. Getting his bundles together again he entered the vestibule coach.Then his jaw dropped, his eyes op-ened wide, and he stopped In evident dismay. He looked at the luxurious seats, and up at the handsome decorations on the walls and ceiling of the coach. Suddenly the expression of bewilderment fled from his face, to be succeeded by one of settled conviction. Grasping his bundles more tightly he turned and hurried through the door by which he had just, entered. He( passed down the steps, and jumped to the ground just as the coach was about to go upon the river bridge.Walking back to the depot the Worth countian accosted a man In blue overalls and asked: “What time does the Coast Line train leave for Sylvester?”“That’s it y u just jumped off of,” was the reply.The man with the bundles looked longingly at the line of black smoke which was fast lengthening in the distance on the other side of the river. As he turned toward the waiting room he remarked as if to himself but loud enough to be heard:“Wonder what’s next! First it was coal burners on the old road, and everybody said Boss Plant turned over in his grnxo. I reckon he must er busted the tombstone when he heard that the new gang had put a vestibule coach on the cigar box train.” -ft ft ft
