A Plausible Two-Cent Swindle.

days, engaged in a novel scheme for
raising the wind" He has a letter
already to mail, which win bring him
the funds he so much needs, but he
has no stamp, and would madam or
sir be kind enough to give him one?
Not that he really wants the stamp;
not he. He would much prefer the
coin necessary FORT spurehase. Many,
not having a stamp at hand, give
him two cents. 1t will readily be e
that he has to make but few applica-
tons in orderto accumulate the price
OF q drink. He vas quite neatly cor
nered in a downtown place OF busi-
ness the otherday. Upon hearing his
request. the clerk remarked that he
would put a stamp upon the letter
and give it to the carrier on his next
trip. But it was imperative that it
should get to the Office right away,
urged the stamp collector. The clerk
informed him that the carrier would
be around in a few minutes, but the
tramp would not surrender the en-,
yelope which was part of his stock in
trade, and departed to seek a moro
yerdant victim.
