had u peculiar illustration of that in
England last summer. The most success
full railroad man in England is Mr.
Forbes. He asked me to go with him for
an inspection on his line / saw him pull
out a watch-a nickel watch-one should
think was a Waterbury worth about 50,
with which the purchaser would expect a
suit of clothes before he would take it. |
said: THAT is an extraordinary watch
for a railroad man like you to carry |
never saw one on railroad man before -
But he said, that is the kind we give
our conductors" But" | said, IAN
American conductor who had watch of
that kind would be discharged from the
service
He said: "There is a history connected
with that wath which has had great eff
feet on the railroad service in England
The story reached France and had an in
huence on the railroad service there. A
conductor came to me and said, The
manager of the line has discharged me
and have been unjustly turned out |
said to him that II was question for him
TO take up with the manager alone This
man said, i was discharged because 7 was
not at the station to take my train when

and would not have him on the road
again. l don't want man back with

So Mr.. Forbes said he put the watch in
| his pocket. He had Il summer house in
the country, and he wished to 90 to fulfill
a business engagement at his Office in the
city, involving great consequence to his
company. As he drove up to the station
all was quiet and no enc standing around.
He said to the stationmaster: How long
before my train comes2" The agent said,
The train left here ten minutes ago. -"
You must be mistaken. Your clock is
wrong" The agent raid, "That clock is
all right"
MIR. Forbes pulled out his watch and
found it was fifteen minutes slow. Then
he went back to the Office and did a lot of
telegraphing, postponIng the engagement
and making explanations.
Then he sent for the general manager
and told him the circumstances, and
wanted to know who was to blame for
that watch being wrong, but the general
manager said that he supposed that the
district examiner was to blame. He sent
for the district examiner but he said it
was not his business TO look after those
watches. He finally called on the electri-
clan for an explanation-the man was get
ting $1,000 year and it was his business
TO frequently call in and examine con-
conductors watches-and he said what
is the matter with that watchl' The
