NEW YORK, July 5.-There was an

A Good Word Restored This
Mans Position.
LAID NO BLAME ON THE ROAD
Even Though he Was Re-
Gently Discharged.
A Remark Dropped to Friend Finds
Its Way To- the Management of the
Road And Telegram Calls The
Discharged Man TO Duty Again.

That it never pays to be a Knock
er" even though man has been
given black eye by some corporation,
has been proved again by a man who
is now an employe of the Hooking
Valley Railway company. For some
irregularity he had received his pink
envelope" and was a member of the
down and out club, so far as the Hook
ing Valley was concerned. He had
accepted position not nearly so re.
munerative as the one he had lost
and was going along doing the Micaw-
Der stunt, just waiting for something
to turn up. Unexpectedly, something
did turn up, and good word restor-
ed the former position with an in
crease in salary. 1t came about like
this:
Some time ago a foreman on the
Hooking alley was declared guilty Of
some Irregularities and was dscharg.
ed. He took his medicine without
making a wry face and set about to
find other employment. Then came
the disastrous Hooking Valley wreck
near Harpster, in which several people
We're killed and many more injured.
A friend Of the former Hooking Val
Icy employe was talking to him short
ly afterward and asked for his opin.
ion of the cause of the wreck. He
asked whether it was a fact that the
track Of the road was deficient and
was promptly informed that there was
nothing whatever wrong with the
track; that It was just as good as any
track in the state. He explained the
wreck as one of those unfortunate af-
fairs which cannot be assigned a
cause. The same day the friend
happened to be in Columbus and
there met one of the officials of the
Hooking Valley and during the CONVEX
satlon related what had been told him
by the discharged employe. The rail-
road official was surprised to learn
that n man who was supposed to have
n grievance against the road should
say such things and Immediately
wired for the former employe to re-
port TO him. The outcome of the af-
fair was that the man was restored to
his former position with an increase
of $25 per month in his pay check.
Reads little like u story in a
fairy book, but just the same 1t oc-
Cured in real life and proved another
adage that 1t Is an i'll wind which
blows nobody good
