Accurate Delay. Many stories are told of the lack of punctuality upon railroads in the southern states. It is said that when a New England man found his train, advertised to leave at 11 o'clock, starting at exactly that hour, he complimented com-plimented the conductor. "Just on time, I see," he said, genially. geni-ally. "All this talk I've heard of the lateness of your trains Is without foundation, I've no doubt." The conductor smiled at him gently. "This train, sir," said he, without a trace of embarrassment, "is not today's to-day's eleven o'clock train, sir. It is yesterday's eleven o'clock. To-day's will probably not get here from 'way down until to-morrow, sir."
