LIFE OF A DEPOT AGENT

The life OF railway agent Is one OF
roses and cinders for the most part.
Some folks think that about all he
has to do is to sell tickets and keep
the extra cent when he makes odd

with a doorbell on It, and smiling when
the folks ask him what time the :03

From early in the morning when he
starts the day by looking into the coal
bin ar the end Of the platform TO see
how much bituminous has been stolen
during the night, until shutdown, when
he starts out to hang drug store signs
on the switch posts, he is an extremely
busy man, says the Walker (Minn.)
Pilot. Between checking over freight
receipts and running the hay press
for the carbon copies Of waybills, It's
no wonder he hasn't time to build

FIRST TOTTENVILLE BOY
TO Be REPORTED KILLED
Parents of Private Almer G.. Russell
Receive Oficial News OF His
Death.

sy Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Dec. 3.-Private
Almer @. Russell, of the s21st ma
chine u company was killed in &C.
ton in France. on october IS, accord
ing to a telegram received by his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Russell, of
Arthur XIII road. Tottenville, Sunday
night.
The telegram came addressed to
George Russell. 20 Lee and
there is some doubt by Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell that their son has been killed
because of the wrong address given
on the dispatch from the government.
Private Russell. when he was draft
ed in the army In April of this year,
resided with his parents in Satterlee
avenue, near Wards Point, and 1t
might be possible hat in transmitting
the message over the telephone from
st. George to Tottenville, as is done
the address may have become mixed,
both almost sounding alike.
Mr.. Russell was twenty eight years
old, and the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell. He was a draughtsman and
was drafted from Local Board 1S9 in
April and three weeks after being sent
to Camp Upton he was sent overseas.
Before he was drafted he drew
plans for a new house that has just
been completed in Arthur XIII road,
west of Bentley street. and which he
expected to occupy when he returned
from France after the war. He was
engaged to a young lady here and
plans had already been made for the
marriage when he came back. Private
Russell is the first of the drafted boys
from Tottenville to have been reported
killed In action. although John Leon
Gardner, who was killed in action, re-
sided in Tottenville when he enlisted,
more than a year ago In Perth Amboy
Private Russell was one of the most
popular young men here and was liked
by everyone hat knew him. He was
born here and graduated from the
T~ottenville school.
