Can't Get Rid Of His Nickel

About year ago some wag polished
on nickel till it only resembled the
coin OF the realm in size and color.
After It had dropped into the bottom
Of the bobtail car box the driver eyed
1t suspiciously and. evidently thinking
the other side Of the coin might DO all
right, he gave the decisive pull and
let II pass. From that time to this the
company has been endeavoring to get
that nickel back ON the rascally pub
lilo. But strange to say, every man
who tears open the little envelope con-
tanning it and its companion piece
always chucks the smooth nickel back
into tho box. OF course no driver can
now complain because the coin always
comes out Of the company's package.
During its first year Of service it has
laksn about 2,l90 trips. and as it is
ketting thinner and smoother all the
time. there 10 now NO hope of its ever
escaping street car service, except
