other morning on south-bound tra'h
on the Red Oak and Nebraska branch
of the c., b. & q. child about III
wears Of age, unaccompanied, got on
the train, which was delayed over an
hour. waiting for the train west bound
on the main line. The conductor had
been Superseded by an auditor wearing
a brand new uniform, spotless collar
and cuffs. On his first round Wheh
he came to the child she could produce
neither ticket nor cash, which she lost
while waiting for the train. Inc aud
itor spent some time trying to have her
produce the necessary fare and left
her in tears On making the next
round he spent considerable time IN
harassing her, in fact spent all ms
time between Red Oak and Essex IN
his attempt to extract the fare from
the weeping child. AS. the train came
to a stop at Essex this representative
of a great railroad system. GRABBED
the 10 cent telescope OF the weeping
child, and held the same until a SYM
pathetic traveller produced thirteen
cents and paid the child's fare. Whle
it NAV be true that ito Caeser belongs
that which is Caeser's," did not think
1t possible for wages to hire one 50
dead to all instinct Of decency as TO
domineer and harass friendless child,

convenience the passengers were put
to at Brooklyn the other evening. The
