Pcrplexed About Change

Coming down in Twelfth street car
an old lady rendered the conductor a
three-cent piece, under the impression
that it was dime, and received a nick
ell in change. The conductor, however
discovered his error Immediately after,
and, going back to the old lady, ex-
planned the circumstance. After con-
vincing her with much argument that
she had only given him three cents,
the conductor returned the coin and
the old lady handed him the nickel.
LET me have your fare, please" de-
manded the conductor. The old lady
looked aghast. why, I just gave you
five cents" she retorted, now firmly
convinced that she was being buncoed.
Eyes, l. know" replied the conductor,
who was also getting slightly twisted,
"but that was the nickel l gave you
in change for your three-cent piece"
"Well, l paid you, didn't II" remon-
strated the old lady. But that was
the money l gave you" "Well, you've
got it now, haven't your" The con-
ductor lacked the eloquence to explain
the situation, and at Market street they
were still haggling about it.-Philadel-
phia Record.
