Mr.. LeopOId's Former Employees Re-
member Him Kindly,


Mr.. W. T. Leopold was presented a
handsome roll-top desk by the employees
of the Central Railroad paint shop last
night.
Until recently Mr.. Leopold was in charge
of the paint shop and the gift is a token
of the esteem in which he is held by his
former workmen. The presentation was
made in the committee room of the
Knights of Pythias Hall where the desk
had been sent earlier in the day.
Mr.. L. C. Burns made the presentation
in a short speech In which, on behalf Of
himself and fellow workmen, he thanked
Mr. Leopold for his just and courteous
treatment and, while regreting the sever
ance OF a connection that had, in his case,
lasted over twenty years, wished him
pleasant ard successful future.
MIR. Leopold in accepting the gift said
that II would serve as perpetual remind
err of former pleasant relations He had
no rounded periods or polished sentences
he said, TO show his appreciation, but
what he said came straight from the
heart and he wanted his friends to know
that he could have no higher apprecia-
ton were the gift ten times more valu-
able; it was not the gift. but the act
which showed the kind consideration. In
concluding he gave the young men some
excellent advice, urging them to be faith
full in the discharge of all duties, whether
social or business, and assuring them Of
his continued interest in their welfare.
At the conclusion of his remarks several
of those present took the opportunity OF
expressing their personal appreciation Of
Mr.. Leopold's Hndnesses.
