FOR KICKING THE MANAGER.
How u Faithful Trainman Got u yarnishod
Car and Pie.

A man on tho Wabash road is now
running vanished cars aud eating pie
who owes his success in measure to
kicking tho general manager. When
n trainman prospcrs and gets u
passenger train he speaks CT his good
fortune as running yarnished cars and
eating pic. When he Is in the humber
calling OF working on freight train
he sometimes calls II eating corn bread

General Manager Tallmagc OF the
Wabash was of the old school OF rail-
readers, who believe in attending to
tho details Of the line. llo had been
trainman himself and ho knew the
weaknesses of the craft. Hc would
watch the train sheets. IL the crew re-
ported delays at certain point ON
about every run, ho would go down
there quietly and keep an eye out for
them. He took one OF these trips on
Que occasion aud supposed his move
ments were unknown TO the crews he
wished to watch, for ho went secretly

reach his destination until after dark.

identity, but limped away, aud no
found out that the brakeman who had

bile man, aud not responsible for the
delay.
After the kicking the brakeman went
back TO the caboose and said to his con
ductor. We'll. fixed the old man.
