The Same Old Game.

He is Swede. and was unused to the WAYS
OF the wicked world up to last night. Now
he knows little about them. He was going
to Bangor from Minneapolis and reached
Portland last evening. A very pleasant man
was also going to Bangor, and expressed
great pleasure at the thought of spending
the evening in the company of the gentle.
man from King Oscars dominions. The
two came down town together. Near Monu-
ment square they met a third man. The
newcomer reminded the pleasant gentleman
OF little bill of $50. The pleasant gentle
man wanted to pay 1t right of, but unfortu-
nately he couldn't do so. a, his money was
all In his trunk at the railway station; that
is ne couldn't pay unless his friend, etc. 1t
worked; 1t generally does. fhe confiding
Swede handed over the $50 and the two
WORTHLESS left him on some pretext and didn't
come back. AT last the Swede found out
what 1t all meant. BE found the police sta
tion, .and another case of bunco steering
went on record there. The Swede could
give no description OF the swindlers.
