you can drop q nickel into one of these car
riers and then watch it as it rolls along on
its edge down the incline and finally goes
rafting into the fare-box. saw wild

putting his fare in the ordinary way he no.
ticed newcomer drop nickel down the
elevated railway. The device aroused his
utmost admiration. He at once changed a
couple of dollars into scent pieces. Then
he took his place at the door and started
two nickels simultaneously down each side
of the car and offered to accept bets as to
which would get into the fare-box first. He
kept this up until his 81 worth of coin was
gone, and wound up by saying: "Wall,
