will result in doing you good. If you
want your money to go good ways, Kel-
Ter is the man to learn you the secret.

| An Easton paper says that many UNI
suspecting farmers in Bucks and Hunter
don counties have been swindled out Of
hundreds of dollars recently by clever
scheme worked by gang of gentlemanly
appearing sharpers. One of the gang
drives up to farmers house and asks
permission to store 10 the barn number
of pitchforks Of an inferior quality. Per-
mission being granted, the farmer is told
that the forks comprise the last lot of a
large consignment and will be sold at very
low figures in order to close out transac-
ton. A tempting offer is then made of
80 per cent. commission to the farmer
upon any sales made while the forks are
temporarily in his charge, and long
agreement, most of which is in fine print,
and alleged to be only stipulation as
to commission, is In most cases tnen
signed by the tempted tiller of the soil,
who neglects to read the paper carefully,
and learns, when too late, that he has
contracted to buy the worthless forks at
an exorbitant figure.
