The prosecuting witness, gentlemen, is a
man that carries weepins, and that is guilty
If a man who came near being murdered by
being shot at two weeks ago.
THE more younger the child Is, the more
truth there is init and the gnoranter the man
is, the more like a child he is. The police
can't give him riddles, because he can't an
swer them, and SO he has to speak the truth
and don't lie. So, YOU see, that witness of minc
told the truth.

He might have been disguised politician
who had aimed high and dropped several
points short, or be might have been an am
ateur doctor of an experimental turn that had
led to his being chased out of the community
where he last voted. 1t was hard to tell, but
at the time Of which we write he was unmiS
takeably Il man with scheme
He went into dry goods store, with Il con
iident smile, and making his way to the head
of the house stated with an air of mystery that
he desired a private interview upon the most
urgent and important business. He was led
TO the private Office and told to unburden him
self
Would you like to make IA clean million in
three monthsE" he asked, with smile that
romped all over his face.
well, should rather say So" replied the
merchant.
1T can be done as easy as going to sleep,
sir, by little plan that have"
"untold,' said the merchant breaking IN
apple in two and offering half
What's that you say" queried the man,
drawing his chair up closer.
"EXplain-elucidate up--and be in a
hurry about it, too; this is my busy day. What
have you got, anyway"
you want to know my plan :" said the man,
glancing uneasily about to make sure they
could not be overheard.
Il Nat what you WdntCu 10 see INC dDput' /
believe Go ahead with IT."
Cant do it, sir. Must have bonus first,
anda guarantee if you use (which you will
be sure to do--that you will pay me ten thous-
amp dollars for the right to do So"
'Whew!" exclaimed the merchant. That's
drawing 1t mild. But excuse me, sir. ncv-
er made blind investment. Good-day."
II guarantee you can pull in a million-a
round million clear profit in ninety days yes,
YOU can do it in thirty, and not particle Of
risk It's dead sure thing"
Don't want it, l tell you. I've got more
than can attend to now"
"rll let you try it for five thousand, and
trust the rest to your generosity afterwards"
You must really excuse me, sir. can't
see It."
We'll then, give me thousand, or | 20
across the street, You're robbing your family
20 refuse it at that"
wouldn't touch it, sir unless knew all
about it, and that, too, without any bribery"
Say five hundred then. It's like picking
upatOrtune at that price"
NO ! tell you, | don't want it. Wouldn't
touch it at any price
Give me five dollars on it then. Thatll
make it binding, and know you'll treat me
square"

"i'll take 1t in trade, Give me a pair of

Not today"
"Well, then, apair of suspenders"
At this moment the porter came, in answer
10 summons, and hustled the man with al
scheme into the street. The last seen of him
