surprised by his old office force here
and the freight agents of this dis
trict on New Years Day, when he
was presented by them with a hand
some gold watch.
Mr.. Hilleary, who is one of the
service. left behind him host of
friends when he went to Philadel-
phia, and the gift was a token of
their esteem. He was spending New
Years with his family at New Cum
berland, when telephone call
brought him hurriedly to his old Of
fees here. There he found gathered
a large number of his former asso-
ciates and G. H. Seller. of Swatara,
the oldest agent in the service,
stepped from the group and made
the presentation speech. Modest Mr..
Hilleary was too overcome to respond
for several minutes. Mr.. Seller said,
among other things, that the Reading

freight agent and that his host of
friends wish for him all the success
in his new job he had in the one he
has Just left. Mr.. Hilleary said in
reply that he had had much pleasure
in his former ass 5ciations and as
cribed any success he may have had
to the able and loyal support he had
at their hands.
