WOULDN'T HURT THE TRAINS.
Tramp Telegrapher Bogardus and the Rail-
wny Superintendent

Chattanooga Times.l
Tourist Operator Bogardus, known to tele-
graph operators in every city of importance
throughout the United States, was in th
city yesterday. "Bogy," as he is familiarly
called, has travelled all over this country
and Europe, and mostly on the con-
tributions of his brother key Founders and
the passes of persistentIy importuned rail-
road officials. "Bogy" hasn't done a stroke
of work for an interminable length OF time,
simple because Lomadic life is preferable.
He was yesterday on his way to Memphis,
with the avowed intention of actually going
to work at the key board.
Hundreds OF stories are told of "Bogy's
persistency in applying for railroad passes.
The best of these is, perhaps, his importu-
nate demands for pass from General Mana
ger Williams, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road. After declining at three
or four successive visits, Mr.. Williams in
dignantly told Bogardus never to call at
his Office again for pass. An hour later
"Bogy" popped his head into the general
managers Office and remarked:
"Mr. Williams, 1 haven't called for a
pass; just want one of your time cards.
I've concluded to walk, and I want time
card SO as to keep out of the way of regular
trains"
Mr.. Williams bit his lip to suppress an
incipient smile, and ordered his clerk to
write out pass tor the persistent appli-
cant.

fathers and the lessee have again gotten into
trouble. The we'll has SO much gas that it is no

he is not obliged to let the contractor put the

some safe way of continuing the work, as the
lot is not large enough to afford dis

horse, water nor spring-pole power will
suffice. 1t is said that steam power
is sent four miles through pipes in New York.
and consequently the source of power might
be located a considerable distance away If the
pipes were made to follow the highway, but
this might necessitate the purchase Of much
larger boiler.
