- In full view ona street car seat night before
last. 1t was about 9 o'clock and the vehicle
was bound down town. At the corner Of II
street and 18th a number of passengers had got
on and the tickets aforesaid we're forgotten.
young man with gig lamps and a cape over
coat. who was accompanied by pretty girl in
furs took the trouble to pick up the tickets
When the conductor came through he offered
them to him, saying that finds of the sort were
obviously perquisite Of his own. The reply
was:
Thank you. sir. will hand the tickets in
at the Office of the company"
do you mean to say that you will make
present Of them to the corporation?" asked the
young man.
Il am obliged by the regulations to sur
render them, replied the conductor
The youth in the cape oyercoat extended a
nnger and thumb and grasped the tickets which
lay IN the conductors palm. Said he:
Il don't propose to make the company q
present of any car tickets"
So saying he put the tickets into his pocket
The conductor remarked
II am very glad of that sir. II you had in
sisted upon giving them to me should have
been Obliged to write a special report to the
company accounting for them"
80 surprising did this experience seem to the
youth with the gig lamps that on his way home
the same night he spoke to another conductor
about it. The latter said:
That Teller must have been a green hand.
Nobody Will ever catch me giving up TO the
company any tickets find. One might az well
turn over the change one picks up"
DO you mean money that is dropped BY
Passengers queried the young man.
Yes, sir. good deal of small change is
dropped In a street car in the course of a YEAR
Falling IN the straw, most of it isn't found at
the time Ii is very funny to see how earnestly
person will search even for a penny that is
lost In such way. Somehow it is pro-
voking to lose money, and the average pas
seEger will poke for a long time after a nickel
or dime rather than give 1t up"
1T Is wonderfully hard to find q lost coin in
the straw"
so it is. But the reason is chiefly that peo-
pie go at it in the wrong way. A person hav-
ing dropped piece OF money almost invari-
ably makes grab in the straw where il fell
thinking to grasp it. That Is the worst posi-
BILE thing to do under such circumstances
One should treat the matter very gingerly,
marking the place rs closely as may be and
separate In a light and delicate manner the
wisps OF straw from about it. Ordinarily the
passenger simply shakes things up so that the
coin Is thrown To one side
How do you succeed in finding the lost
money!" inquired the youth in the cape over
coat
We'll" replied the conductor, II make IL q
rule to shake out the straw every evening par
ticularly if l have seen any money dropped. L
do 1t by taking handful at q time. so that the
money will drop out Once in awhile get as
much as half q dollar. The pickings are small
but they come cheaply.

The Daisy.
Alone by the meadow little white mower
Awakes from its sleep to peep forth from its
bower.
It's only daisy, which nature has told
To harbor the secret its death will unfold.
Beside the bright meadow sad little maiden
Sweet Gretchen-is passing, her heart heavy laden.
She spies the lone daisy and forward she springs
And plucking Its petals she eagerly sings,
"Er iebt mich, ganz innig, Won Herzen, NIT
SchmerZen,
Elm wenig, und gar NIGHT; er nebt mich, Won

Dear Gretchen rejoices; her sorrows depart,
For the soul Of the daisy now blooms in her heart.
