PITCHER NoLAN's CAREER.
Carbondale Young Man Winning g
Laurels on Base Ball Diamond.

There is scarcely a year that ma
tive of Carbonate does not become
conspicuous by reason of his clever ball
playing. This year the particular resi-
dent of this town who is doing all of
the shining is Thomas Nolan, of Dun
daft street.
Nolan is with the Derby, Conn, team
in one of the New England leagues,
and, AS might be expected, is hewing
out promising career for himself and
winning his way into the hearts of the
cranks of Derby.
This will he good news to the friends
of the young man in this town who
are interested in his career, and who
have had ample opportunity to APP
preciate his qualities as a ball player.

Whatever the result, it is certain that,

there's a lot of it. and no one knows it
better than we conductors. Hunting for
coins on the bottom of my car is one
of the regular gratis, and any other con-

enough to get his eyes open is on the
same lay.
Last year I made up my mind to put
away every cent I found in my car in an
old iron bank l had at home for the
benefit of my youngster. | kept slowing
the coins away and at the end of the
year 1 had $6.07. OF course, that's not
barrel of money, but it's a right nice
pickup for a conductor. The biggest
find | made that year was a 50-cent
piece. From that the coin ran all the
the pickings are especially good, for then
every one has gloves on, and the coins
slip from the fingers to the floor without
the owners knowing it. The only way
TO be sure you have all the money is
to pick up the gratings on the floor
do that every night as regularly as I eat
my supper.
Now, I've figured it out that if I

conductors average somewhere near that
