Another One For Hiley.
Out Henderson way there is a railway oq which the trains sometimes travel so slowly that people occasionally get out and walk by way of a change and to lighten the load of the train. This, of course, is in direct contravention uf the railway regulations and no matter how urgently a man may desire to get home, he has to sit in that train while it plods its weary way. There has been a tendency on the part of some people to defy the regulations and get out and walk, but the Department will have none of it, arid recently a man was sued for thiio daring to make a laughing stock of the train. Hei-e is a splendid chauce for Mr. Kiiey, the ne,\x general manager, to show what he can do. Even it he isn't able to get out a new time-table for the whole of the North Island at a minute's notice, lie might at least speed up this particular train so that it would go a little faster than a walk.—Auckland 'Bulletin.
