PAY OR PASS.
A Railroad Presidents Success as an In
structor of Conductors.

structor of Conductors.
There is a general interchange OF
passes among railroad men, and the
president and vice president of the Penn
sylyania railroad have passes all over
the country. President Roberts is
very strict man. One very stormy day
in winter he got on the New York di-
vision and took a seat in the middle
car. The conductor knew him, as we
all do, and when he passed him the
the president simply nodded. 1t was
catch, and Roberts was only trying to
see if his man would break the rules
and not make him show his pass. The
conductor fell into the trap. When he
passed through the train again Roberts
arose from his seat, and, tapping him
on the shoulder, said
"See here, you have not seen my
pass"
'No sir" faltered the conductor,
"but-but l know who you are.
That makes no difference" retorted
Roberts, with frown, "the rules are
made to be obeyed, and not to be
broken. The rules laid down for your
guidance say that any passenger who
has neither ticket nor pass must pay
his fare or else you must eject him from
the train
II know it, replied the conductor,
"but-"
'No butts Now you may 60"
Il haven't seen yer pass vet, though, "
demurely remarked the ticket pmcher,
wishing to demonstrate the thorough
ness of the lesson.
That's right" replied Roberts, APP
provingly, 'make no difference be-
tween the president of the road and the
poorest passenger. "
'He reached in his inside coat pocket
and then into his vest pockets. Hi,
face grew red and he fumbled around
his hip pockets. The conductor grinned
Roberts sallow complexion grew palel
and then redder. He went through hi
pockets again, but no passes. The con
ductors smile grew more expansive.
"Humphr exclaimed the President
singular! Just stop as you pass thi
way again.
The conductor stopped, and the pres
ident dryly handed him a tive-dolla
bill and told him to take out the fare
He had left his book of passes at his of
