Serves Them Right.


A house owner needs lightning rod.
Instead of calling on permanently To-
Gated dealer in lightning rods and en-
ploying him TO do the work, he enters into
a contract with the first shark that comes
along and signs an agreement, which
eventually turns up as a note in the
hands Of an innocent" party and mulcts
him to the tune of several hundred doh
lars, and the popular verdict is, Served
him right"
A prediction for strangers and the
mania for buying goods in other than the
regular channels of trade seem to be pc
culiar 10 certain class of mercenary
people Of the community. They doubt
the honesty and good intentions of their
home artisan or merchant, whom they
have known for years, and refuse to be-
leve his assurances Of fair treatment,
but turn a willing ear to the first smooth
tongued swindler that comes along. This
trait Of human character is well known
to the smooth worker, and the amounts
realized each year through the gullibility
of their victims is greater than is general
ly known.
The farm implement and musical in
strument agent comes from no man
knows whittier, makes a sale at low
price and levants. In a few days a man
with chattel mortgage on the same
article arrives and wrests it from the
buyer, and he has no recourse unless he
can find the agent. A dealer in this
mans own locality stood ready and anx-
| ious to sell him the same goods at fair
price, but he preferred patronizing a
stranger with the vain hope Of getting
something for nothing. He got duped,
and his happiness is not increased when
his neighbors declare that it "served
him right"
| Farming communities are now being
visited by agents for grocery concerns
and shoddy dry goods houses located in
one Of the large cities. The bargains
they offer have the effect of gathering in
scores of victims. In one locality visit
ed, sugar by the barrel was offered at a
price lower than it could be obtained
from the refinery, There was, however,
a condition 10 the sale-that the buyer
was also to buy certain amount Of
spices and fancy groceries in order to
make bin large enough to justify the
house in making a shipment.
The goods came G. O. D., and much to
the disgust of the consignee everything
but the sugar was utterly unfit for use.
Let these bargain seekers take the
hard cash which they aiaa ays seem to
have ready and waiting tor the shark
and go to your home merchant and plank
it down, and you will find that, taking
into consideration the quality of The
merchandise, he sells much cheaper thar
the travelling vender.

A DISHONEST BROKERS' FLIGHT
Got Caught In the Sugar Squeeze and
Then Disappeared.

Ihon blhAppeateus
NEW YORK, March s.-The announce
meut on the Stock Exchange OF the sus-
pension of the firm of Hunter Clark g.
Jacobs was somewhat of a surprise, as il
was not known TO be involved in any
operations on the wrong side. As the Sc
quel proves the firm was involved by Mr..
Clark, one of its members who signed the
firms name to a number Of fifteen day
privileges in sugar at a., pocketing the
proceeds Of his sale of privileges and then,
when the market jumped up on him, dis
appearing leaving the firm, which knew
nothing of his operations, to redeem their
paper.
After paying out some $4,000 the firm
made an assignment, not knowing how
many privileges were outstanding Had
Clarks little speculation been success
ful his operations would not have come
10 light, but with 70 per cent. rise in
sugar there was nothing for him but 70
confess or run away, and he chose the lat
ter alternative Nothing is known Of his
whereabouts, and as the firm ut present
refuses to make any statement regarding
its affairs its liabilities cannot be ascer.
tanned. That this should have been the
only casualty of the great sugar squeeze
is a matter of cougratulation to the street,
but iuasmuch as it has developed a new
method Of trading Tor private luofit Oh
the credit of the traders firm there is a
dark side to the picture.
