" HAVEN'T GOT TIME"
An Incident About One of the Con-
ductOrs ON "America's Greatest
Railroads.

The REcoRDMAN, not a great
while ago, was passenger on the
Auburn division of the New York
Central Railroad. Sitting just in
front of him was a well-dressed
lady with bright, three-year- old
boy. The little fellow held card
-one of conductor George Geer's,
of the Ontario & Western R. R
which had many different punch
holes in it, showing he had either
carried it some time or been on
long journey. When the haughty
gilt striped Central conductor
came through, the mother did not
have her ticket quite out of her
pocket, and he poked her on the
shoulder and gruffly said, ticket,
madam" Before he passed on the
little boy, with his sweet face up
turned, leaned toward him and in
his baby voice said: "Pease punch
my ticket" but the same gruff
voice replied, haven't got time. :"
The little fellow was so disap-
pointed at the unkind manner and
unreasonable refusal that tears
filled his eyes, and his sobbing was
heard until quieted by sleep. The
REcoRDMAN learned that the boy
had travelled over two thousand
miles by various boat and rail lines
and this Central conductor was the
only one who had refused to punch
the card which had been given him
by courteous, good-natured con-
ductor on the Ontario & Western.
Further along in the same car an
elderly lady asked the same con-
ductoi to kindly open her window
or turn over a seat, and she re-
ceived the same haven't got time"
reply. He had plenty of time to
smoke and chat in the smoking
car, but not half minute in which
to perform a COURTS, V act.
The REcoRDMAN was not the
only person in that car who came
to the conclusion that that man
should have some other position
than that of serving (?) the patrons

Our drive back to Greene, over the east

Next day we went on little excursion
down the Chenango river, picniced on
the shore near spring of pure water
which flowed from the foot of large
tree, and the children delighted them
selves by taking off their shoes and
stockings and wading in the tepid water
along the shore-fri9 htening squirrels

Dr. Silvernail is an excellent chef, and

in the woods was greatly enjoyed and
the meat, which the DR.. broiled with
sticks over hardwood en1bers, was juicy

clouds caused us to start on our return
earlier than we desired. and it was well
we did for there were three swift rapids
or riffs through which we took our boat
with dificulty-and lots of hard work.
Notwithstanding the ladies nearly
doubled up with laughter.
We rested well that night and next day
started back toward Passaic over the

perfect as it is possible to make it; the

the coaches are equipped with toilet
rooms complete with water, soap and

a recent trip over the New York Central,

Each day the S1.oo was laid securely

DOGS As PoLlcEMFN,


An idea which Ii Being Developed In
Germany ut Present
How's that for new ideap But that
Is an idea they are developing in Ger
many, and believe 1t is going to do
great things. The object is not to
have the dog jump on a man and tear
him to pieces; any uneducated dog can
do that. But he is trained to knock
the criminal down and keep him mo-
tionless until the dogs assistant can
come up with the handouts.
The breed they use are bulldogs al
most exclusively, both on account Of
their tremendous jaws, and because a
bulldog loves fight as naturally as an
1rishman does. They are very inteln-
gent, and when they have once seized
the idea, they hold on to It as they do
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-01-25

to everything else. A bulldog never
forgets anything; whether it be a kind
ness, or am insult, or college educa-
ton, and is In this respect quite unlike
the celebrated Thomas B. Macaulay,
who boosted he had forgotten more
things than most people knew.
The training Of the dogs requires a
certain knack, with great kindness, pa
thence and frmness For, although
they are sparing of the whip, when a
dog deserves whipping he gets it.,
after being made to understand why
he is punished.
The first step In his training is the
placing Of mannikin behind the door
and making the dog understand that
lesson is not hard for him to learn, for
q bulldog would much rather jump on
O man than not. Then the trainer
catches the mannikin by the shoulders
and lowers it slowly to the ground,
with the dog still hanging to the rags
around the neck. When the dog be-
gins to tear the figure the trainer
strikes him with the whip to intimate
that that is not what he is expected to
do. Finally he learns that he is not to
let go but to hang on without tear
ing the victim. II anyone moves the
mannilzin he has gripped ferocious
growl warns all bystanders that all
such nonsense had better stop at once.
When he carries out his role well he is
petted and caressed, for kindness plays
quite as important part as the whip
in the school.
AS soon as 1t is certain that Master
Doggie has learned his lesson they let
him loose on living model This ex-
pertinent is never quite free from dan
ger, so the man who feeds him is usual
ly chosen for the first experiment, as
the dog will not be SO likely to tear
him, although In all cases the model
puts on leather collar around his neck
to guard against accident. Then these
experiments are renewed on strangers,
who naturally demand pretty good pay
for their services, and who constitute a
sort of board of regents. If the dog
passeS this examination, he takes his
degree and is ready for work. The
German government hopes to make use
of these dogs in the service of the
customs to catch smugglers on the from
tier.
Apropos of these dogs, lam reminded
of a story of policeman in this coun-
try In country town, who was always
accompanied on his beat by his devoted
bulldog. One day the policeman dis
covered two men in a case of assault
and robbery. When they saw him COM
ing they took to their heels OF course
he could not go two ways at once, so he
called Nick's attention to one man,
while he made off after the other. He
secured his man, and, coming back,
found the second man PROSTATE with
Nick standing guard.-St Louis Re
