For a week or more the train a conductor of that type controls, will be anywhere from live to forty niinutes at a certain station Asa result commuters get careless linger a few minutes over 11m matu tinal iioal or in walking lo the sta tion, confident that the irain will not be on time. Then some morning it pulls in "right on the ami Ihe cund uclor with 11m grim si use of humor has his innings. Ho lias been "panned" so often for being lale Hint delight for him to see the eonininters take il on the run or lieller ill. it) pull out and see them dasliing around the corner and up the grade, only to hi; too That i- when the hnigbl of the punch has 1 1 is comeback. If one com unit i-r, more ael i ha il his fellows, succeeds iu "hopping" tie- train and drops into a.

seat pulling life a grampus, the conductor is "tickled silly" if he is grim humored. All Ibis is suggested by reading a tittle editorial in the Long Islander headed "Outrageous Treatment." It reads as fol lows; "The action of Hie cond net or of westbound train No. tiiiH, leaving Huntington at. 7:03. in ordering his train to slftrt off as trollev car con tabling la passengers bound for their places of business in the city was within a few feet of the platform, was an outrage.

It. would not have delayed the train more than min-ule or two to have permitted those passengers to get aboard, of nurse the molonimn of the trolley car should have been on time, but that is no excuse for the railroad conductor's action. His train is not always on time in arrival at Ibis sta-lion." Xo ombr I he com unit ers were peeved, a nd it seems reasona ble I insist he might have wailed tn the car, as it was so near at hand. Ku! he evidently was one of those chaps with a grim sense of humor, perhaps he was gel ting squa re wit some men who had vociferously "panned" him for being late. This month marks Ihe I'nnth anniversary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren, the famous Knglish a rchlteet ast ronomer.

There na many notable specimens of Ihe Wren tvpe of architecture in this country -principally church spires, although the W'hil House and many ot her public buildings show the influence, of his art. It has been said that early colonial architecture iu New Knglnnd and the Sou Hi was practically all Wren. The Virginia, mansions, wit It 1 heir red brick, stone riunn in and classic columns, followed closely the motif Sir Christopher used in rebuilding Hampden Con rt home of 'rom wet when be as Protector. We have rerpa-nt ly beard it said, presumably hy I hose qualified to speak on the subject, that the Methodist Church at Paby-lon the second oldest edifice of its class in that, place is a true tvpe of Wrep architecture. Whether that is Hie fact we cannot say.

but it is a line specimen of church he i Mini: simple but dignified, wilti a spire less towering than that of the presbvte- piau Church, yet in complete harmony with the rem a inder of the building. On the 'James st. side of he ehu rch property is an immense oak fee. one of he largest in that sect ion of he soul side.

She was also an over present help in Ihe matter of selecting soil a bio gifty for the home folk at holiday limes and on anniversaries. She would enable a hoy's pocket money to accomplish wonders, and more tlutu one middle a get I man still feets under obligations to the kindly Mrs. Parned for favors rendered in those flays "when all the world was young." Put it was of Mr. Parned's wonderful lamp we starled In write, only to wander far afield.

That lamp was always a. mystery to Hie youth of Ihe coinniunity. It had no chimney, and wound up wllh a key, like a (lock. To this day we have no idea bow il act ually did operate. Mr.

Parned was a sitenl man and did not encourage questions from inqiiisit ive sma II boys, and to quest ton Mini was useless. Put there it titood and burned clearly on winter cv enings---no chimney, no wick in evidence rind Hie key projecting from its side. Queer thing, that clock now. after a. good deal of water has run under the bridge, we'd give something to know its secret.

Hut the La rneds have long since been dead. a modern hotel stands on the site of he old store, and he boys who used to congregate there to read and chat with Sirs.

Cur-I is had in mind was Austin Cor bin. He was one of the big railroad men of his day and generation, and did much for the development of the road he directed and for that of the Island as a whole. The Pong Islander urges the immediate- removal of a number of trees on the edge of the Pong Island Railroad's right of way half way up the sleep grade just east of Cold Spring Harbor station, adding: "It might be possible for one of the large trees above mentioned to be blown across the track just before the coming of a train and the locomotive and some of the cars would perhaps be derailed and loss of life occur. All trees on either side of the rack liable to be blown over in a storm should to cut away." A good suggestion. A heavy tree falling in the path of even a slow train might cause a bad wreck.

In the case of an express descending the grade the situat ion won hi be even more dangerous. There should be no delay in removing such a probable muse for a disaster. i "Some One Kills Oeese on Haw kins' Place in Mischief." I lead line in Amity villi pecm d.
