So many people have suffered from
crowd Of swindlers who do business il
lightning rods, that we give the follow.
ing story, in order that you may Judge
the swinllers from the honest men.
A man Of good address, in fact what
may be termed o good talker, makes his
appearance, driving a smart turn out,
and engages the owner Of n house (ii a
new one, so much the better in CONVEX
sation, and expatiates on the advantages
Of having ones house or barn protected
from lightning, He has n collection Of
newspaper slips containing accounts OF
buildings that have been struck by
lightning, and in part or wholly de-
strOyed.
II any OF these have occurred within n
comparatively short distance of the To-
cality where the agent then is, SO much
the better. lie so works upon the fears
of the house owner, that the latter, II Of
o nervous temperament, fully expects to
have his buildings destroyed by the cleo
trio fluid the next time n tlinhder shower
comes that way. He, finally, asks 10 SEQ
the price list Of tho agent, and the Inter
exhibits 1t, and shows TINT for q com.
paratively small sum, lightning rods,
with the necessary attachments, can be
erected. A bargain Is struck, and it Is
agreed that for q sum ranging from
S25 to $50, tho house will be made safe
against electric fluid in whatever shape
II may come. Before leaving, however,
the agent looks over tho buildings, and
suggests one or two additions, without
mentioning, however, that 1t will incur
additional expense; or, il the purchaser
is cautious enough to make an inquiry,
Is assured that tho additional expense
will bc triiliug, and Is as nothing COM
pared to the additional security that will
be afforded. Tho agent drives away,
and IN few days thereafter, two men
arrive, fully provided with all tho neces-
sary implements and materials, and pro.
ceed to erect the lightning rods and at
tachments, The work is done, and the
men drive away. In short time, bill
for tho work done is sent in, and the
house owner is astounded to find that he
is called upon to pay, not S25 or $50, as
he had supposed, but from 1925 to $3.50.
I1e calls at tho office OF the company,
and demands an explanation, Ho is as.
sured that the bill 70 correct one-that
the items arc properly rendered, and
that payment must DO made. He in
stances the bargain originally made with
the agent, and Is told that that Is Of no
account, because Of the additions after.
ward made. In q rage, the victim de.
clares that he will never pay tho bill, and
Is assured TINT he will be sued for 1t, and
that he will merely have the expense Of
the suit, in addition to his bill, TO pay.
II he still refuses payment, suit Is
brought, and by lint Of swearing to
each individual item on tho part OF the
agent and employer, the victim is beat
en-, and compelled to pay, not alone the
swindling bill, but tho costs Of the suit
mo small amount, He has been swim

but he kas no remedy. This is but q

he advanced towards the President, aud

the Great Fathers head, when Geueral
Cowen took hold Of 1t, and placing II OF

Interpreter that the Great Father would

Jenkins that I was hungry, wanted
something to eat, but that I had religious
scrnples against helping mysely to that
turkey. l knew that he was q praying
man, God.fearing man, and 1 wanted
his advice on the subject. he told me
that IL was rather a ticklish question in
ethics. There was some risk about it,
but so far as the act itself was concerned,
it was perfectly legitimate. He said you
are your masters property 2 Yes, said J..
That turkey Is your masters property ?
Yes. II you put that turkey into you,
that turkey does not cease to be the
property Of your master, but only adds
to the value Of the property IN another
form. So II was simply q question Of
removal. ] said that q stood to reason,
the whole thing was clear to reason, and
