ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND
human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing,

human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.
Human nature may be more pro-
ductvely worked than gold mine II
you know a right method.
General Manager Chapman, of the
indianapolis and Eastern Electric
Railway, recently utilized his knowl-
edge of human nature In a novel way.
His company had a park, the soil of
which 1t wanted to pillow up and pull
verize thoroughly at small cost, at the
same time attracting some traffic to
the park. 1t therefore buried $500 in
gold coin In various parts Of the park
and threw the place open to any pat.
ron OF the street cars that wished to
dig, prescribing only that none but
small hand implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thrOnged with amateur min
ers and by the time all the coin was
found the entire surface Of the park
had been loosened up and reduced to
powder to an extent that no landscape
gardener ever saw equaled. The street
car company got its $500 back In fares
and at the same time got its park
thoroughly plowed for nothing.
Many will tenderly recall the old
school reader story of the dying father
who called his sons to his bedside and
Informed them that though the old
farm he was about to leave them was
worn out and had become unproduct-
I've, there was buried somewhere upon
it great treasure and If they would
perslstently dig for 1t they would sure
ly find rich reward. The sons digged
and digged and digged, turning the
old farm upside down and inside out.
and, though they found no sign of the
gold they expected, their haryests of
grain became enormous and their re-
ward was richer than they knew.
Through some popularity in our con-
struction we are willing to work ten
times as hard ito get something for
nothing" as to earn it In ordinary
ways.-Atlanta Journal.
