Show NEW ROCHELLE TWELVE HOURS Sleepy Passenger Was Certainly Booked for a Long Trip. A man boarded a New Haven local train about ten o'clock one night at tho Grand Central station and promptly prompt-ly fell asleep. Nor did he wake until he had had a nice, refreshing, lengthy nap. Then, however, he sat up, alarmed, and took a look at the surrounding sur-rounding landscape. It seemed to reassure him. He settled back comfortably com-fortably in his seat. Just then tho conductor came by. "When does this train get to New Ilochelle?" asked tho man. The conductor smiled. "About ten o'clock to-morrow morning," morn-ing," he replied. "Wh-wh-wh-whafs that?" "This train gets to New Rochelle at ten o'clock to-morrow morning. We leave Now Haven at eight o'clock, you Bee. In other words," said the conductor, con-ductor, pitying the man's helpless bewilderment, be-wilderment, "we passed New Rochelle half an hour a.so and don't hit it again till we're on our way back to New York."
