FINDS MONEY IN STREETS.

Street Sweeper Who Keeps His Eyes
Open Picks Up Many Coins.

The street sweeper stooped down and picked up a coin from among the debris in the gutter.

"It pays to keep your eyes open," he said after the nickel had been safely stowed away. "We often find coins and lost articles in the street. Of course, should we find a pocketbook or article of value it would be our duty to turn it over to the department for identification, but who knows to whom a stray nickel, dime or quarter belongs, and we might just as well have it as anyone else. No, I haven't got rich off my findings from the gutters and it is not every day that I pick up even a nickel, but some folks would be surprised to know how much money is found in such a manner every day in Kansas City."
