Ninety-Ffve Cents for u Street Cal
Ride.


From the Sioux City Tribune.
Even Sioux City has absent minded peo-
pie within her borders.
Stories of man looking through closet
for 4 pair of trousers which he has on, of
the inveterate smoker turning over every
thing IN his office in search of the pipe
which he hollis between his teeth, and of
the citizen who chases back home on cold
winters morning after he has nearly reach
ed his place of business to find his spec
tacles. which are properly adjusted to his
town.
The incident Of Observation-Disclosures which
is here related is quite out of the ordinary.
and belongs exclusively to Sioux City and
to the fair This week a wel-known
woman living 4 hill street boarded a
street car for down town. She searched in
her pochctbook for a nickel, but could find
nothing less than a silver dollar She
pushed this through the Change opening
in the door. and the mOtOrneer returned her
a dollar in small coins. She selected a s.
cent piece from the handful of money and
held on to 1t tenaciouSly while she went to
good deal of trouble to drop the % cents
into the fare slot.
The mistake was discovered by the mo-
torneer. who heard the avalanche of Small
money rattling on the glass slide In the
box. and after calling the attention of the
woman to her mistake. gave her a receipt
for 30 cents, which was eventually returned
TO her.
