A funny story is told at the ex-
pense of Sir Richard Moon, Chair
man of the Board ofDirect ors of the
London and Northwestern Railway
Company. Sir Richard is one of the
most energetic railway magnates
known. and is the terror of the en-
ployees ofthe company, for they never
know when he is about to pounce
upon them. He makes a point of
visiting every station on the line at
least once a year and has an odd
habit OF overhauling the books and
accounts Of sta ton masters at incon-
venient times. He knows the price
OF everything and is said to have
rowed an unfortunate freight agent
for giving too much for packet
of carpet tacks. One day dur
ing the Summer he dropped in at
Crew Station abont five A. NJ. aud
saw a couple of porters hard at work
cleaning up things generally. Sir
Richard was delighted. II like to
see such painstaking industry begun
SO bright and early in the morning."
Industry be bowed" said the man
addressed tartly, who, of course, did
