A Conductor Tells How He Receives
Plugged Coin from Those who Rsds-
While coming down town recently or

loquacious and observant conductor
the pecuniary characteristics Of thf
many people with whom he had CONS
in contact His particular enelny, &C
cording to his remarks, appears to have
been woman, no matter what position
ia society she occupied.
They never had change, he said, and
when they did happen to have any
thing smaller than a silver dollar thf
cash invariably proved to he the Oh
noxious penny.
Women" said he, "are the wors,
passengers we have to carry. When
ask them for their fare they will spend
fifteen minutes searching through then
purses and pockets for pennies, al
though several nickels are right a,

.'And for bad money they beat the
deck You will hardly believe the
truth of the statement, but nine tenths
of the plugged quarters and lead five
cent pieces receive come from them.
1.-The better clothes a woman wears,
1 find, the more likely they are to have
mutilated coin
II never got even a bad penny even
from a working girl
Several months ago there was q
young miss about seventeen years old,
always attired in the latest fashion, who
would frequently get on my car at
Thirty fourth street and ride up town
to the park. And l never saw such q
girl for passing bad coin. Every trip
she would hand me either a plugged
quarter or half dollar. Finally l got
tired and asked her where she got it,
- 'Ohl' she replied, as sweetly as you
please, I've got several brothers and
they give me all the bad money they
get. l give it to you because you can
pass it off on somebody else
THAT took my breath away. After
that she never passed any more of her
brothers bad money on me and she
stopped riding on my car.
Il suppose she is working it off now
on some other conductor.
Working women, especially shop
girls, never think of pennies or bad
money They have their fare ready
when they get on the car and hand it
over without any fuss the minute l ask
for it. They work themselves and prob
ably appreciate the fact that all bad
money l turn into the receiver comes
out of my wages at the end of the week.
THE other women, l guess, don't
know that.
''Do l ever have trouble with men?
Oh, yes, a handsomely dressed fellow
me out of two dollars
How did it happen9
"Well, the fellow got on the car up
town after the theater. He wore a full
dress suit, and when l asked for his
fare he handed me a two dollar bill, at
the same time apologizing because he
had nothing smaller. He left his change
i'm another coat. l looked at the bill
and it appeared all right, so gave him
the change. That night it was handed
back at the receivers window. It
proved to be a counterfeit, so l lost the
two dollars.

What's the Matter with wauseon?

We noticed on our streets some seventeen
teams thefore part of the week form Fulton
county, and the northern part too. On in
quiry we found that they had passed through
Wauseon and Delta to market their wool at
this place. Ex-Sheriff Blair and L. s. Harris
were among the number. When asked why
they so glaringly ignored towns of their ma
tive heath in this manner, they knowingly re-
piled that they thought they could do better
in Napoleon. Now, this is but common
occurrence. not only in the marketing of
wool and other products of the farm, but
hardly day passes but farmers from De-
fance, Fulton, Wood and even Putnam
counties come to our merchants for necessi-
ties. By strict adherence to the injunction
"Liye and Let Live" our business men have
built up trade that all the inhations in the
value of real estate, made so by transient
oil and gas" or other "f1eeting shows" cannot
undermine. Napoleon is all wool and a yard
wide, and IS it any wonder that she is recog-
nized as trade center by her jealous and
unfortunate neighbors, when cold facts like
the above are submitted "and must be swal-
loved" OF course they go down with a gulp,
but even as people in violating the laws of
health are compelled to undergo seige of
sickness and "swaller" much nasty medi-
cine so do merchants in the violation of the
laws of trade, suffer, and will come out the
loosers in the long run. We have here mer-
chants and stores of which any city twice its
size might we'll beproud. The farmers ap-
preciate this and do their trading here. The
merchants appreciate the farmers trade and
hence there is reciprocity in good feeling
and contentment that comes naturally and
will continue so long as our business men
pursue the honorable course of which they
are characteristic. They don't wish to get
rich in year-they have whole life time in
which to do that, and this seems to be well
understood among their large and ever in
creasing trade. d .'f'

Every spring and early summer" SAYS a
physician, Il am busy patching up teachers
and dressmakers to get them through to the
midsummer rest. These two classes of women
workers seem, in my practice, to be specially
unable to keep up the pace, or the pace is spe-
cially difficult. Two years ago began to get a
few statistics from my visitors OF this sort,
hoping to hit upon something which would
show me an added means of help to them.
''Of nine, thirteen and eight patients through
the three consecutive springs l find that
twenty-seven-there are thirty in all, you will
observe-are boarding or living with fellow
teachers and fellOw-dressmakers. Taking this
for one side Of the question, have sought out
few other teachers and dressmakers not in
need Of medical advice, trying to get us nearly
as possible those of the same age and degree Of
labor as my patients. and have found that
eight out OF ten questioned live in families
their own or a stranger's--in no way connected
with their respective pursuits This confirms
at least up to this point an idea have held and

makers, but all persons whose daily work is Of
