pie to earn coed living without working fe
it. 1t was a sort of wheel of fortune afai
. with about two dozen compartments covere
with slides. Each slide was the head of
rather attractive looking woman. He sill
the females up and about every other portrai
covered a piece of cardboard on which wa
stamped sums of money ranging from one t.
twenty dollars He whirled the wheel arount
and then allowed any man in the crowd t.
choose woman. He was then supposed t
get the amount of coin designated by the care
board when exposed. The first man who
tried it seemed to have gotten good thing
for the countenance of the stranger fell and
he said, "Tll give you two dollars for You,
chance" The lucky man finally accepted
s. and the slide was pulled up, revealing $40.
After that the crowd got excited and the buy.
ers one after another refused healthy advan-
ces only to find that they had drawn blanks.
Some Of the oldest and most level headed cit
liens in the town gathered about the wagon
and bought chances until they hadn't cent
left Whenever man sold his chances he
was sorry and whenever he didn't he was
even more so. The naodus ope1dnai is as fol-
lows: The man has two slides and blank
sells it back again the dealer smiles grimly
and shows up the first slide and when he
hangs on to his chances both slides are pulled
up at once, revealing only the blank. As soon

| buy he is sure to refuse and is also certain
| to get a blank. Another neat trick connected
with the game lay in the fact that the por.
traits were all alike except the chin of one
of the woman had piece of the engraving
Clipped off. When men saw the slides go up
and found just where the $50 prize was they
thought they had dead thing after the wheel
was whrled. Most Of the men who tackled
the game dropped on the trick after they had
taken FIVE or six chances and vent away so
cheap at these figures.
