-It1tle 1z6e,7 on Corporal Punishment

Sometimes when I've been very bad
My mother looks at me, f
And can she's just as sad
AS ever she can be,
And then she says: Tonight II tell
Your father what you We done;
When he comes home he whip you well!
And then want to run
About thousand miles away,
Or else drop out of sight
It's awful waitin round all day
To catch it hard.at night
A boy can't always just be good
Or always act just so,
Or always say just what he should
Without mistakes, you know.
If I'd a little boy like me
And was big and strong
I'd let him off sometimes when he
Just happened to do wrong;
don't like whipping anyway,
I don't believe it's right
But worst of alls to wait all day
For one you'll get at night.

for delivering the traffic Of the Gould system in

LOST, RAPID TRANSIT BOND
IT'S FOR A LITTLE MATTER OF 100000
AND THERE'S A LIVELY
SEARCH FOR 1T.

The 100000 bond given by the Rapid
Transit Subway Construction Company to the
city to guarantee the faithful performance OF
John B. McDonald's tunnel contract is lost
Controller Coler has large and varied fa1nlly
of bonds and perhaps 1t would not be strange
if one of the minor should be mislaid. but
this tunnel bond is, 50 to speak, the biggest boy
in the family. and its absence makes a large
hole in the family circle
Controller Coler discovered his loss yesterday
afternoon when a caller innocently inquired
where the bid bond

Mr.. Levey.
Mr.. Burrows's office is in the Central Bank
Building. in Broadway. where the reporter found
him about ten minutes later.

bond What should I have it for? If Controller
Coler hasn't it. perhaps Edward NJ. Shepard
counsel to the commission has it."
Mr. Shepard not at his office, nor was
Albert B. Boardman, his associate counsel.
John B. Mcdonald, the tunnel contractor, was
busy in his Office, in the Park Row Building
when the Tribune reporter called at o'clock.
The following conversation took place:
Mr. Mcdonald to whom the bond for
81. 100000 for the faithful performance of your
work on the tunnel given?"
Why to Controller Coler. He's got it.
THE Controller says he hasn't got IT.
Mr.. Mcdonald began to laugh softly
Well" said he. its kind of strange that II
should be lost. think Mr.. Coler is the legai
custodian of that bond I've got a copy OF the
bond but the original was in the Controller S
office at last accounts"
The big bond was given to the Rapid Transit
Commission February "a 1900. in the Con-
trolIers office. when the contract for digging
the tunnel was signed. At the same time there
was deposited a check on the National Park
Bank for 81 000000 drawn by August Belmont
6 Co and made payable 10 Controller Coler.
There was also given at the time a continuing
bond. signed by Perry Belmont, for Sl""t"''

American Surety Company. the National surety
