Three-Cnrd Monte Men

A dispatch to the Boston Journal from
Lewiston, Maine, says The Doris Circus
company, accompanied by the usual num-
Der of sharpers tnat follow all out-oi-door
shows, appeared in the city to-day. Soon
after dinner John II. Pettingill, one
of Lewiston's most solid and trust
worthy business men. accompanied
by his grandson, started for the
grounds. On arriving there he was accosted
by three men and drawn into conversation.
Finally one of the men produced three
cards, and in joking way said TO Mr.. Pet
tineill that he could not pick out the face
card-the three card monte act. Mr.. Pet
tingill thought he could, and he was sue
cessful in picking out the right card six OF
seven times. The dealer seemed 10 get ex-
cited and finally offered to bet Mr.. Pettin'
gill S1.C)0 that be couldn't do II again.
Mr.. Pettingill told him that be did not
have the money with him, but would STEP
down 10 the bank and draw il and come
back and accept the bet. He soon ap
peared with the money, which was duly
staked and OF course lost. Mr.. Pettingill
is an able and energetic business man
about fifty years old, methodicsl IN III,
habits and is the last person one would
have supposed cOu have been inveigleo
into such a trap.

created by man for himself, but
