Many persons are not aware that
passenger conductors collect fare for
cansof milk as for passengers. Tick
cts are issued and collected in very
much the same manner as for per-
SONS, each ticket being good between
the stations mentioned for a certain
number of gallons. Another fact I'M
known to the generality of people is
that a corpse ticket is issued at the
same rates as for a person, but that
no corpse will be carried at regular
single fare rates unless accompanied
by somebody who will take charge
of it in CASE of accident. Rochester

Early Days.
The Washington d. c. Post re-
Gently recounted several incidents
concerning well known sporting
characters of years ago. Among
those mentioned was one referring to
an episode said to have occurred in
this city in which Old Duke George,
u dead game sport. was badly
worsted. The article in question re-
lates the incident as follows:
"Old Duke Dodge was fairly sud-
den man and kept pretty well up
with the procession" said an old
timer. ..He turned faro bank or

wasn't manual labor. One day me.

coming back from Iowa.
".Got any money, SON.? said Duke.
He always called me son.
".About $780, replied.
...Lend it to me and I'll open a
game for 'em here said Duke.
This town is sucker in the lump,
and it's crazy to play faro bank
$50 old Duke made up bank roll
of $500. He had cards and deal
box and easily improvised a layout
and was ready for action. For chips
ne went over to dry goods store and
bought box of these wooden but
ton molds that they make overcoat
buttons with.
Then old Duke Dodge turned
loose. The natives came u running,
and the way they set ia against the
game reminded you OF a lot OF tur-
keys around peck of corn.
The bank won from the Jump,
and Duke was chuckling. AS nearly
as You could guess the game was
800 ahead at the end OF an hour.
.'All at once Duke noticed an awful
thing. He called my attention to it.
This was the horrible phenomenon:
While the bank had won every big

dealcr-and two-thirds OF the others,
and while he had. as he found bv
