He Rode Out His Dollar.

A JOLLY old fellow came down from
the mountains just before Christmas, to
spend the holidays at Sacramento. Be-
coming tired of footing il about the city,
he got into street car, and when shown
BY the driver the box in which he should
deposit his fare. he dropped therein Il
trade dollar. Then he demanded his
change, but the driver informed he
could not give him any unless he had
paid the coin to him. For a time the
old fellow was in dilemma. His dol
lar was in the box and he had no show
TO get it out. Finally he solved the
problem of getting even with the rail-
road company by notifying the driver
that he would use up the money he put
in the box in rides. This he did by re-
naming on the car for twenty trips.
