N. W. Reeve Receives Present From Express Company.

N. W. Reeve, for thirty years a faithful employe of the American Express Co. as their Rensselaer agent, received a pleasant surprise today. Mr. Reeve was retired from the payroll of the express company about four years ago with a pension. He heceived an increase in his pension of sl6 a month without solicitation by himself. Since his retirement, Mr. Reeve has received $25 a month pension. President H. R. Kurrie, of the Monon, realizing that the sum Mr. Reeve was getting was not adequate, nor what was expected when Mr. Reeve left the company, took the mitter up himself with the head of the company, President George C. Taylor. Mr. Reeve received a letter today from Mr. Taylor stating that the matter had been brought to Ms attention and that from now on he could expect S4O a month from the company for the-faithful services he rendered for so long a time and that he should regard it as a Christmas present from the company.
