cluded many striking successes. the
fifth season, which closed early In Sep

predecessors and the sixth tour. now

a similar satisfactory character. The

The engagement or a month at Will

TEXAS CONDUCTOR.
How He Lost a Costly pismond-An
Experience Of Value.


Experience Of Value.
The following good joke on a Texas
railroad conductor is related in the
Galveston Times:
There are some few railroads in this
country on which II is considered quite
the right thing for conductors on pas
senger trains TO supplement the earn
ings OF their legitimate trade by lit
tie money ION the side" made from
change passengers. Such road is the
Texas a. Pacific, for instance. II is
quite a common saying that the road
pays its dividends to its conductors. II
quite frequently happens that after a
few months OF service on the road a
conductor has made nice little sum
OF money through complacency In the
matter OF issuing the regular tickets
when he collects fares.
The road is in the habit of sending
out inspectors every now and then to
get an eye on the conductors who do
these things. The coming OF this in
spector Is generally well known. II

happened one time that Jim Reilly,
conductor on No. 8. west bound, bought
for himself diamond ring. such as
conductors love. II was a handsome
BIT of iewelry and II cost Mr.. Reilly
500. He wore II constantly.
The inspector on his travels got into
conversation with Mr. Reilly. lie had
offered to buy his fare, and had been
firmly told that the company had a
rule about excess charges" which ex.
cess would be duly returned on pre-
sentation of the slip which the con-
ductor gave hin. They talked casually.
That's pretty nice ring you're
wearin' said the inspector.
Now, at that great fear took hold
OF Mr.. Reilly. He knew the gentleman
FOR what he was. He knew, too, that
an admission concerning that ring
would he liable to attract some sus.
picion, for the wages of conductors are
not princely. Therefore he lied.

way down the car, and he enjoyed i'm.
mensely the task OF kicking tramp
of the front platform of the baggage
car into the middle of Texas Ordi.
narily he was careful never to visit the
front end of that baggage car.
He never mentioned that ring to any
one. Put about month after the e..
currence he got the ring back. II came
by registered mail and in the box was
a slip of paper with these words:

Another Example Of the Peculiar Rail.
road Laws Of Mexico,

Traffic on the Gulf division Of the
Mexican Central railroad was tied up
for twelve hours ON account OF the
peculiar law of Mexico relating to the
responsibility of railroad trainmen for
accidents. says a dispatch from Mon
terey, Mexico. dated March O. Early
in the morning the station agent at
San Francisco discovered the dead
bodies of two MeXicans on the Mex.
lean Centrals track. He Immediately
notified the local Judge at that place,
who, in view of the fact that he could
not discover exactly what train had
killed the two Mexicans. ordered all
trains coming into San Francisco to
stop, and not to proceed until IL had
been discovered which train struck the
Mexicans. THIS order soon had the
effect of completely blocking all traffic
on the division, as the engineers would
not proceed against the judges order.
At last. the matter becoming serious,
Governor Reyes was appealed to. The
trouble was explained to him and he
was asked for an order that would al
low the trains to proceed This was
given.
