New Workers VINO Waste MONEY

"The Absent Minded Beggar has
plenty Of counterparts in New YORK,
as the marlborough Rapid Transit
Company and the subtreasury omclals
have cause to know. Perhaps the com
nonest form such absent-mindednese
takes is the dropping Of coins into the
ticket choppers box on IL srauons.
The amount Of money thus 1nadver-
tently thrown away in a year, say the
Interborough officials, is tremendous,
aggregating, it is estimated, about 800
a week. That means an average OF
about 36,4OO nickels per annum aD-
sent-mindedly tossed into the TICKET
machine.
The usual method of procedure Is
this: A man hurrying to catch train
slams down coin at the ticket win
dow. gathers up his change In one
hand and his ticket in the other ana
hastens on in pursuit of the gates
atar." Forgetting in which hand the
ticket is. he dumps his handful OF
change into the chopping machine. A
Jerk of the lever and it yanishes from
view.
By making proper application the
man with the absentee thinking appa-
ratus can, of course, recover his
money, but he will find 1t sadly
changed since he last saw 1t, for the
interior Of the box is fitted up with a
powerful apparatus for mutilating tick
cts. The teeth Of the machine are so
sharp that they readily bite through
nickel or silver coins.
Thus, whenever large enough heap
of these mutilated coins is collected an
official of the company is forced to
make a trip to the subtreasury to have
them redeemed. A goodly percentage
of the money is never demanded by
the people who dropped it in the box,
the outlay being presumably set down
by them to profit and loss and sub
mitted to as one Of the countless penal
ties attached to the Gotham vice OF
absent mindedness.-New York World

In its present commercial aspect at
our universities football has evolved
class Of players who may be termed
temporary professionals, selected as
they are for their ability to stand bat
tering and bruising and their quick
ness to seize any chance to MAIN their
opponents. The coarse tone which
university IS supposed to mitigate in
youth, If not eradicate. is encouraged
by these stimuli to brutality, and
younger people of both sexes are led
to admire the very traits college edu-
cation should suppress. The degener
acy of football has reached so low a

The Prevention of Whooping Cough.
-Whooping cough Is more infectious
before the whoop develops than it is
afterward. Children who have been
exposed to the disease and have a
slight cough should be isolated for
several days, lest they communicate 1t
to other children. It may begin at any
time during three weeks, after expos
ure; when this time has passed with

TAMA coUNTY's ROADS.

II We do not get better roads this
year 1t will not be because of lack OF
money. Last year 1t was not COM
pulsory for land owners to pay their
road tax and the new law had just been
passed and township clerks had no
way to force collections. The people
were urged to pay to help the roads,
but nearly half OF them refused or
neglected to do so. OF course such
will have the tax to pay this year, as
well as the road tax properly belong
ing to this year. The latter amounts
to $2T.305 and $10.4S6. is carried over
from last year and must be paid
this year, making $3s.O00 Of cash
available for road work in Tama
county this year. This is nearly 81
600 to each township on an average.
This will give us better roads II the
trustees will see that dt is properly ex-
pended. Last year gave the new law
no chance Not only was the season
extremely wet, but the townships had
little money. AS We said above. no
one was compelled to pay his road tax
He could let 1t run until this year
without interest and many did 50. then
complained because the road work was
not done. The new road
law has had no chance
at all so far, Mr. Lundt, to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. This year will
give 1t fair trial-if the trustees see
that good men are employed as road
superintendents.
