WHAT PEOPLE LEAVE IN CARS.

That carelessness which is an Amer
lean characteristic is we'll illustrated
by what people leave in street cars.
Every day an appalling number of mis- J.
cellaneous articles is left in the cars
of the 1nterboro Rapid Transit Com
pany. in New York. and ii is II necessary
every day to advertise the possessions
so that many of the belongings get
back TO the owners. Last Monday was
not bad day for carelessness-in fact.
1t was somewhat above the average
but here Is what was left on the vari-
Gus lines of this single corporation:
Thirty-six umbrellas. seventeen
books, nightgowns. socks eayclopes
two aprons, box, two satchols. oiIcloth
bag, three handbags seven purses, Two
pocketb9oks. spectaclcs. eyeglasses.
pictures. three parcels OF music. kcy.
hat, three pairs of rubbers. toy. two
pairs of shoes. overGiIs. shirt under
wear, metal, sum of mon-y, magazine,
lowell drawing, check, six pairs OF
gloves. two odd gloves. case. jumper.
vest, corsets, dress. flask, pills, suit
case. cuff buttons, card case Joss
sticks. feather, files, suitcase. plans
blue prints. legal papers. bankbook.
beads, neckpieces. plates and cord
One safe deduction is that 1t was a
rainy day; another Is that. without re-
gard TO sex. nationality. previous con-
dition OF servitude or present occupa-
ton, the careless trait prevails. Doubt
! less the embarrassment incident t,
Identifying some of tho articles pre-
cludes any possibility of their recla-
nation.

Who will be responsible for the BLACK

is to be responsible for the unncces-

Would the Master sanction such ac-
