the car barn. A young man reclaimed
the box, but that time the conductors
honesty was not rewarded. However,
this story has a sequel, too, for shortly
after the ring had been restored to
the young man his engagement to a
West side girl was announced.
Once in a while the dim and cob
webby room in which are stored all
those lost articles witnesses a bit Of
pathetic history. Just before Christ
mas the conductor on a Mississippi
street car found a small brown paper
package. Unwrapping 1t, he discover
ed inside a pair Of babys shoes, the
tiny soles very much worn and three
of the buttons missing. Without COM
ment, he turned them in with the other
things he had found during the day,
and in time they made their way to
the room reserved for lost articles in
the big building at the corner of Fourth
and Cedar.
The next day a sad-faced woman IN
quired for the package. While trying
to describe the shoes she burst into

In, and strange to relate they were
claimed, not by a school girl, but by a
middle-aged woman.
Occasionally a woman calls at the
Fourth street Office Of the street rail-
way company to inquire for a lost UNI
brella and gives such q vague descrip-
ton that 1t is impossible to identify the
article. Before any article is exhibited
to an inquirer, he must give good de-
scription Of 1t, so that the clerk in
charge will know that he is restoring
the article to the real owner. Such an
inquirer must tell the day, and, as
nearly as possible, the exact time that
he lost his umbrella or whatever the
article may be. In big book, kept for
that purpose exclusively, Is recorded
every article found, the car line and the
day on which 1t Is found. This list les
sens the labor of the clerk considra-
bly,, for generally street car passen-
ger knows the exact day upon which he
lost the article, and all the clerk has
to do is to go over the list Of that days
findings.

tears, and then explained to the won
dering clerk that the shoes had been
worn by her little girl, who was dead,
and that, having to move, the mother
had determined to carry them with her
to the other home. But she had other
parcels with her, and the little shoes
had slipped from her lap as she sat in
the street car. AS she turned away the
clerk observed that she lifted the shoes
to her lips.
Most people will tell you that taking
snuff has gone out of fashion, yet one
Of the articles that has been stored in
that cobwebby room for three days
was a ieweled snuff box. The owner,
who finally claimed it, insisted that he
did not take snuff, but that the box
had belonged to an ancestor, and was
carried by the owner simply because he
was proud of the heirloom.
For two days the room housed a little
pasteboard box filed with four-leaf
clovers. Since these had no intrinsic
value. the conductor was not obliged
to turn them in, but he did turn them

turned the purse in at the midway sta
ton and very soon afterwards an ex-
cited voice inquired over the telephone
IL such a purse had been found. 1t
wac a very grateful woman who re-
claimed that purse. The incest feature
OF. this story perhaps is the fact that
the conductor who turned in the pock-
etbook received a substantial token of
the owners gratitude,
Usually no notice is taken Of the hon.
esty OF conductors in general, but APP
parently this callousness has not a
bad erect on their morals, judging by
the number of articles they still con-
tinue to turn in every night. It is all
in days work" with the man who
collects the fares, and not even the
finding Of new jewelry box with a
new diamond ring inside is apt to stir
him to excitement.
Such box. with such ring, was
really found on a West side car last
winter. It had fallen under one of the
seats, and was not dicovered by the
conductor until the car was taken into

Official County and City Paper,
FOR GOOD ROADS.

Will anything be done this year
in regard to the improvement Of
roads leading into the city, or are
they to be. left in their
present condition. This propo=
sition should be one of the first
matters of Importance taken up
by the Commercial Club and see
if start cannot be made in this
very important matter. The
better the accommodations that
can be given to the farmers for
bringing their produce to town
the more they will bring
and every load Of wood and pro
duce marketed here means mon
ey for Bemidji and all who live
here.
Good roads do more to build
up a town and the surrounding
country than anything that can
e.done. A few good roads, cut
to the full legal width, along the
section or other lines would en-
able one to look a few rods ahead
and it would show that someone.
had been in the country before
and that there was something
more than Indian trails to fol
low.
A great deal Of business that
properly belongs to Bemidji now
goes to outside towns because Of
the poor roads leading into our
city. The merchants of those
towns sell large bills Of goods to
homesteadars in all directions
owing to the poor condition Of
our roads.
We hope to see some concerted
action taken by someone who can
and will push the matter at an
an early day.
