Take a Car Ride in Jersey and Be A Mathematician One Ride Makes You an Ex- pert Figure Juggler or Sends You to the “Bughouse.” By Farmer Smith. NEWARK, N. J. April 20.—At a mecting of the “Hand-me-down Pants” Chab this morning it was decided to Tecommend to the educational author- ities of New Jersey that classes in erithmetic be abandoned in the schools of this state and that children hereto- fore attending these classes be allowed , to ride on the Hudson amd Manhattan “tubes at State expense yntil they have mastered everything from the multi- Plication table to differential calculus. Owing to the shortage of teavhers, it is ¢elt that, by letting the children ride on these tube trains ( they | do run under the new fi con- | siderable money will be saved the | Boards of Education, even though the fares of the little riders are paid, The various methods of charging | fares in Northern Jersey instituted | by the traffic-carrying authorities | have made the people of this locality) the most proficient cash jugglers in| the world. The sale of cash registers | and adding machines has fallen off | materially since the common and un- | common carriers began to twist the charge for passing through this fair State in propelled interstate ve- hicles. . } Here is the new idea. Try it on your adding machin The fare when ri station to ‘another 1 are ple you had better read it twice, as it may have a catch. ' All passengers boarding trains in Jersey City (when they run) to go to other, stations in that city or to! ‘New York will have to pay 6 cents, but will not have to recite the Dec- laration of Independence, as was| first feared. They will be given a coupon upon the payment of fare as a@ token of esteem, and if they alight t another Jersey City station they will be refunded the aforementioned | 1 cent upon the surrender of the} coupon and their purchase of a lolly- Pop or a stick of candy will be op- tional with the rider. Should the weary traveller be so! careless as to wish to go downtown New York, he must surrender the coupon without any refund, and upon turning in the coupon on leaving a} station in uptown New York he will | bave the privilege of paying 4 cents, after surrendering the coupon in order to leave his hand free to make the change. y Next! ‘ —_—_—___ LYNCHERS DESTROY JAIL.
