gs:9urnished with quantity Of tickets numbered
oSias each end, and for every fare he takes ne Is
10 give the passenger the hall OF one OF these
yc tiekets.s depositing the other half in box
o piacef in the car. At the end OF the week
tthd Of drawing 10 to take place from the half
tickets in these boxes, and the holder OF the
hsI corresponding to the one drawn is to re-

winning this prize VIII lead every passenger to
insist both on getting his half ticket and on
seeing the corresponding half deposited in the
box. The device msy succeed, but 1t is doubt
ful. A very little legerdemain will suffice to
cheat the eye Of passenger, especially when
the. car Is crowded, and tho companies will
pay out their afty dollars . week to no pw-
pose. - ..-.-...
