New York. - Charles N. Peck, of

Eighteen solid years he has spent en-

Long Island home. In 1856, he began
1t as a half-year pastime and then six
years later settled down as a perman-
ent commuter. Since that time he has
travelled back and forth six days a
week without a break. And he still
looks hale and hearty.
