The Elevated Railroad Man and the
Circus Man Work Alike.


Circus Man Work Alike.
New York ticket sellers for the ele-
waited roads do their work with a celer-
ity equaled only by the lightning
change artist of big circus. How do
they manage it? Peep into one Of the
little ticket offices, and you will see
that the methods of the man inside
are identical with those Of the circus
man. There is only one way of selling
tickets rapidly, whether at an "L' sta
ton or from the red wagon Of q circus.
When you hand in your money through
the little opening, your coin or green
back goes to the ticket sellers left,
and from that side comes the ticket,
which he tears off from the long strip
with his right hand. Almost simulta,
neously the same hand shoves out your
change, for he has the exact change for
your coin or bill ready, counted out
and piled up. Close to his right hand,
just inside the little window, are a lot
Of nickels for changing dimes. Next to
these are nickels and dimes arranged
with 20 cents in each pile, ready for
the man with a quarter. Then there
are lot of forty-five cent piles and
others containing 95 cents, so he doesn't
need to stop to count out your change.
If you call for two tickets and hand in
a dollar, the ticket seller takes a nickel
from one Of the ninety-fve cent piles
and instantly has the change that you
require, and whenever there is lull in
the stream of ticket buyers the man
behind the window replenishes his
piles of change, so that he is seldom
caught without just the amount you
need already counted out for you.-

beats are nearly all dead. How do they
work? They never work. You might

able they are, and the ones that don't
want you to touch them want to work
the game on you. One day a swell look
