On some of the roads of Long Island

producing two rutS, constant wear on

Railroads Frequently receive CON

roads of the middle west Il conductor
who had been in the employment of
the company for Years was in the habit
of "knocking down" fares. The fare
over his route was about SO. Money
was generally scarce among the stu
dents, and when they wished to go to
the larger city they were in the habit
of taking n silver dollar, placing 1t un-
der card of any kind and handing it
TO the aged conductor when he came
TO take up the tickets. He used to
slip the dollar into the palm of his
hand, punch the card, and the students
saved 50 Il trip, the conductor pocket
ing the extra dollar In October, 1904,
the officials Of the road were astounded
to get. together with his resignation, a
full confession of his guilt in the form
of check for $24 1000, the sum he had
stolen in twenty years Every one
thought the road would prosecute the
Old man. but ii didn't. The officials
were so fabhcrgaSted that instead OF
