1t is understood that one of the Cony
High students is up against prob
lem which ne is as yet unable to solve
by anything that he has learned in
school In company with another
Cony student the young man went to
the lake Saturday to enjoy ice boating,
and when it came to- paying the fare
the other young man handed the con-
ductor nicked ten-cent piece. The
boy first mentioned had only a del
lar bill, and when he got his change
lack the defective dime was with it.
He thought he could get rid of it on
the trip home but when that time came
he ran up against the same conductor
who was on the car in the morning,
and when he rendered the dime the
conductor refused it and the boy had
TO give him another instead. The
problem that he is now turning over In
his mind is whether the conductor is
responsible for his being ten cents out.
or whether it is his friend who first
produced the dime. 1t Is considered
probable that the problem NAV in the
near future he made the subject OF
a debate at tie school.
