READING MATTER on BUSES
Old English cuttom Had to Be- AbaN.
doned on Account Of Dishonesty
- Of the Public.

II Is being suggested that every
long distance railway train should car
ry a library for the use Of travellers.
More than one hundred years ago,
when omnibuses first began to run in
London, travellers were furnished, not
only with newspapers and magazines.
but with books. Each bus had little
bookcase filled with books by we'll
known authors.
AS new books were expensive in
those days the thoughtfulness of the
bus-owners was appreciated. It Is
said that people used to ride to some
outlying suburb and back simply for
the purpose Of being able to read
book in the omnibus library.
Unfortunately, while the public ap.
preciated the boon, there were some
mean travellers who stole the, books,
until, at last. the. proprletors were
obliged to announce that, in conse-
q,lence Of repeated thefts, the libraries
would be discontinued.

This trick neTer fails to- raise a
laugh If performed before room full
of people-the more the better.
Ask lady to write sentence on
piece Of paper. She must hand this
round and lat everyone read it except
yourself. Then ask her to fold it, up
and place it on the floor, and get one
of the men present to put his foot on
it. After thinking deeply for few
minutes, assume bright smile, and
say to the owner of the foot: -.
' "You wish me to tell you what IS
on that piece of paper?' When he
replies "Yes," answer. "Your foot"
and make for the. door.
