A lad about twelve years Of age got on
board the train at Utica, and being in some
thing of quandary as to how he should pay
his fare, he was ki dy offered the protection u
of the crnoline Of one Of the lady passcn-

short space Of lime the youngs,er was duly
seated on the bottom Of the car, between two

conductor passed through the car without
observing the "free" passenger, and the little
fellow has since became thorough convert
to hoops, and believes in the right Of women
TO project poor travellers.
