tered the reicllstag with pencil and sketch
book few days ago, and took his place
amongst ordinary spectators. The moment
he seized for his purpose was when Bismarck,
having finished a long and fiery speech, was
engaged in conversation with his son and
several ministers, his face sand nervous
movements bearing evidence OF the strain
he had iust undergone. Werner had Just
well begun his sketch when the chancellor
moved to another place and settled himself
as if for hong time.
The artist, nothing daunted at once went

REAL ESTATE TRlckERY.
Why New Buildings FIJI Up for Month
and Then Stand Empty.

Why New Buildings FIJI Up for Month
and Then Stand Empty.
at is very strange that these new build
ings fill up so quickly with tenants and then
get empty again." said a lawyer in an up
town real estate Office.
Not strange at all when you know that
| it is only a little trick to sell real estate,
said another.
What have these migratory tenants to
dc with selling real estate.7
They have every thing to do with it.
They are the decoys, as it were. Simple
enough. As soon as the row of new build
ings is finished the speculative builder is
anxious to sell He has mechanics liens TO
clear, money on call to pay, invested capital
that he wishes to use IN some new enterprise,
all of which are pushing him TO make Il
quick sale of The property OF course he
wants 10 show that 1T is paying property.
Ii he can ill up with tenants il will be u
simple thing for the purchaser to see exactly
what proiit he is 10 get on the Investment
lie goes to a house agent and says, Fill up
these houses | don't care how you do it :;
but fill them You may let the tenants have
the first months rent free only get a lease
signed with each
''Of course, these leases without security
amount TO nothing, as the tenant is prac.
tically free to move at will But when the
purchaser comes along, the leases make a
good show. There is the first floor with a
| tenant in paying so much rent, and with
lease. There is the second floor ditto, and
SO on throughout the building or the row
of buildings The footing looks well. and
showing big margin Of profit on the III
vestment
1T is apparently a matter of simple arith-
metic So much for cost of buildings, so
much for Croton water rent, taxes, interest
on mortgage, and so on So much sDlitI
chunks of cash coming in every month for
rent The purchaser jumps at the chance.
lie has apparently got sure thing He
buys for liberal cash psyment and a lib
eral margin of mortgage, aud calmly awaits
his first months collections, and the seller
with equal calmness awaiting Interest on
his mortgage.
The IirsG rent day exposes the trick The
tenants either move out, play the same game
in some other new building or they have
to be elected, or they show that they have
had private understanding to pay less than
the lease calls for. They refuse TO pay
more aud are ordered out The purchaser
soon finds that his house Is nearly empty,
| and that he must wait for the city to grow
up TO HIM before be can realize on his in
vestment The trick that has been played
Is one that could not be punished by law, at
least not without great expense. The seller
has got his cash down and his mortgage,
and lawsuit would oaly tie up the prop
erty or give it all to the lawyers. The pur-
chaser pockets his loss and meditates how
easy 1t is for figures to lie, and how a man
does not always know when he has got
sure thing.

They prove the truth of a familiar say
ing, that 1t is cheaper to move than to pay
