SIDEWALK PENCILINCS
Talked by Slot Machines.

soWn anu iind you had been heid upi asked citizen yesterday. T have had that experience several times and want to say that. if these machines are out aof order. they should either be talk en off the streets or smashed. T don't mind losing a penny or two but II gals me to know that l have been cheated even for so small an amount. It Is vexing to drop in pen ny and then find that the running gear or the apparatus is out of order. You wait for a piece of gum or candy to fan, but it don't fall. Isn't that vex- "Just think Of little child. like l saw day or two ago with three or four pennies trying one of those ma chimes and getting nothing. The child mad no recourse in the world. The owner could not be found and the iit- tie one had to walk away disappointed. That isn't right. If the owners cant keep the slot machines in perfect or ourselves of them. There is no. use being film -ilammed."
