I'M ARMENIAN WoMAN's TRICK
Maine Pocketbooku Opened by Sympathy with
N Doilnr-n-ySeck baby.

OLD Town. Nc. Sept. s. The latest and most
successful method by which Armenian peddlers
awaken sympathy and secure trade has been
exposed by the local police, who are walking on
stills on account of their discovery. One A r
mcnian woman came to Maine six years ago,
and still wears n good portion of the dirt which
she brought along. AS soon as she had learned
English enough to make change and say Buy
buy somcsing. me Chreesten,' she started out
peddling. Since then she has sent $500 home to
her people. and has 81, 500 in a Bangor bank.
Though her husband and children remained in
Armenia, she always went out on her trips car
rying a dark.faced baby along, whom she lugged
for miles over country roads and held up In the
face OF the people who met her at the houses
where she called for trade. The good wives and
bought out OF sympathy, gave her free meals
and free lodgings. ana often harnessed up n
horse and took her from house to house, thus
helping her 10 secure trade.
Though the woman is frugal. she will drink
all the liquor that her customers will buy for her.
Last week while in her cups she revealed the
secret OF her success at trade. Tho child whom
she carries. and keeps lean and hungry, is not
her own. but is hired OF an Italian family in
Boston, and she pays 81 q week for the privilege
OF taking the baby from place to place. She
showed receipts covering n period OF four year
In that time she has employed five different
children, three OF whom were furnished by one
family. When the peddler grew sober and
realized what she had revealed she gave notice
that she wanted to draw her money from the
bank and take the boat for Boston, carrying the
hired child along.

In the country districts the area OF an election
district is necessarily much larger, and the Diff
cultios Of reaching it much greater than In the
city districts. Clinton county, for instance,
with ali area Of nearly 1000 square miles, has
only 30 polling places, and tho average area OF
an election district is therefore nearly thirty
miles. In Warren county, with an area Of
100 miles, or nearly that, there are only
thirty polling places, and in Hamilton county,
WI a includes u considerable part, indeed,
the most considerable part, of the Adirondack
