Show A Smart Tenth. One enterprising youth made tho phenomenal phe-nomenal record of ''knocking down' $25 a day while in charge of a construction train, which, it need hardly bo said, is never supposed to carry passengers. Under the rigid rules of the average auditing department it is doubtful whether money turned in from such a source would be accepted by the presiding presid-ing Kolons. I'ut tho carrying of passengers fell tinder the eye of the construction department de-partment and a dismissal followed. Discharged Dis-charged for this violation of rules, our promising financier re-entered the service ser-vice on another division of tho road, whero his industry and patience were rewarded in timo with a passenger train. It would appear that he stood better in the confidence, of his superiors than in that of his fellow conductors, 'i the more cynical of whom expressed doubts about tho company's ever getting the train back after he had left town with it.
