Fishermen In the Hudson Report Only

The shsd fishing season in the Hudson

nets, but II In said that they are not

They remain in this fresh water lonl

CONDUCTOR CARRIES PINS,
And IL Never nj = Loss When He Hands
Out Slips TO Women Passengers.

A conductor on the Erie Railroad has
evolved a little scheme in taking tickets
which amuses the commuters.
All conductors keep track Of their pas
sengers by issuing blue. red or white slips
of cardboard when they take up regular
tickets or punch communication tickets.
II the passenger is a man the conductor
puts the slip in the mans hatband. but II
the passenger is a woman he has to adopt
some other plan. The modern car seat IL
so upholstered that the slip, or ticket.
cannot be stuck in the top Of the seat.
This enterprising conductor gets over
this little dihiculty by carrying q plentiful
supply OF round headed pins. When me
issues a slip to a woman he pins 1t to the
back Of the seat in front Of her. When he
collects all these slips as the train nears
the end Of its nun he RECEIVERS he pins
and, being In a hurry, he sticks the pins
In the front OF his coat.
When he gets through his coat looks like
thu waist Of a woman who Ia doing a stunt

a lot Of bother.

ADDRESSES ARE ELOQUENT
Baptist Pastors Preach With Much
Animation on Live and Burning
Topics of the Day.

People who think that religious
meetings are dull places where
preachers discuss dry-as-dust topics
should have been in the closing ses-
sion of the Pastors Conference
Thursday. For keen, incisive know
ledge of modern life we have never
seen these preachers surpassed. No
time lost on quibbling or technac-
%alities, not they. Modern preachers
are living earnest, graphing with
present day problems. The large
number present and the frequent ap-
plause clearly showed that Christian
ity as held by these people is a living
reality and not a dead memory.
The message of DR.. H. G. Rowland,
pastor of the First Baptist church
of Davenport, Iowa, at the early hour

man and his message can not be ade-
quately described. Rev. H. r. Best of

morning, Cali in all, it was the most
constructive message that has been

not afford to miss this man.

At 1880 p. m. Thursday the chair
man called the convention to order
and DR.. Rowland delivered his lecture
on "Jesus Christ, His Self-Interpre-

that he claimed to be zone With the
