THE DIFFERENCE IN.BOYS
North Berwick, July 19-When the
train from Boston got into the North Ber-
wick station Thursday, late in the fore
noon, small boy got off who was about
eight years old and carried large bunch
OF pond lilies. He was crying bitterly and
the kind hearted conductor was telling
him that 1t would be all right and that he
would see that he got safely home again
The little boy lived at Agamenticus, he
said. He had got on the train a few
stations west of there that morning In
order to sell his pond lilies, intending to
get off at Agamenticus. But the train
didn't stop there and he was carried by to
North Berwick He was frightened half
out Of his wits. The conductor asked the
station agent to telephone to the boys
father to relieve his anxiety and then
told the sobhing little fellow to wait at
North Berwick and he would take him
back home on his return trip from Port
land at p. m. It was some time before
the boy could be comforted, after the
driver offered to take him home to dinner
with him, but yoke Of oxen couldn't
have pulled that boy away from that
station. Finally he stopped crying He
told a bystander that he sold pond lilies
on the train every day for three months
in the summer time. 1t took him about
two hours daily to gather the lilies. He
Hes good deal different from an eight
year OLD boy that lives round here, /" said a
bystander. That boys name is Shehan
and he has run away from home three
times ip the last two years. Twice he
has reached as for as Portsmouth and has
turned mp there in charge Of the police
and once he got as far as Bath, where
eight years old. he walks from his home
three miles TO the railroad station and
calmly takes the train. The conductors
always pass the little fellow and SO he
travels wherever he wants to go, as in
dependentiy as a railroad magnate.
