A Clever Scamp in College Raises Money
In nn Ingenious Way.

Let me tell you very strange true
story. Thrive years ago young manin
the middle Of his sophomore year found
himself in debt to his landlady. to his
tailor, to the college and intact to every
one of whom he could borrow or buy.
He had no parents on whom he could
sall. and his futu re wasn't very roseate.
10 say the least
But he was u genins. Tic had come to
college to graduate and didn't iitendto
drop ont just because he lacked money.
There was plenty ofrremploycd capital
In the country. Ee was sure, and he WIZ
equally sure hr could get hold of some
of it. 40 this is what he did:
In some way he learned the names of
ten women III one Of the small western
towns and wrote them the following
letter:
- college and am absolutely without q
cent. Unless receive mid | shall le compelled

He figured that about three or four in
the first ten would respond, and that
the SANE ratio would bc kept up. Some
would Ge ignored. some would miscarry
and in some cases several copies would
'be sent to the SAME person. 1t is easy
to count that ii every letter and copy
brought in ten cents he would receive
millions. II four in the first ten re-
sponded he would still he n millionaire.
The plot succeeded He didn't re-
ceive million of course; but he did get
a very large SUM Of money. Not one
person in hundred woul, stop and is
ure up the actual amount which the
thing woull bring to the letter writer.
In some c;lSus ministers read the letter
in the pulpit and recommended tho
scheme to their congregation. Tho let
tors which he received were studies.
Some contained stamps. some dimes
wrapped in paper, solne motherly old
souls wrote long letters with volumes of
good advice. and some more philan-
thropic people sent fifty cents, a dollar,
