played a funny game on man who was
eager to make to big fortune in hurry.
They got him to put $4,000 in blind
pool, called a meeting and developed
their scheme. They gravcly resolved to
engage in propagating monkeys to pick
cotton. Tue eager man got frightened
and was bought out at par.
As soon as this transaction had been
concluded ho was shown a telegram
stating that in q nelghborlng city the
stock had jumped twenty points. Then
the eager man desired to get back into
the enterprise, but the hard.fsted jokers
would not let him in again. When he
discovered that his friends had been

exceeding mad. This story points a
