As n Now Haven brakeman He Studied
the Tribe and Watches Glass Books.
A smooth-spoken. slick-haired young man
has been making lots Of money out OF Yale
graduates in this city recently. He used to
keep a little store in New Haven near the Yale
campus. He had every opportunity to become
familiar with the vocabulary and manner OF
the present generation OF Yale men. His bust
ness failed. He was not seen about the col
legiate part OF New Haven for a long time. Not
long ago he appeared In New York.
He sought out men who had patronized his
place and who knew him. To them he told an
unhappy story OF family sickness and a press
ing need for the amount Of his fare to New
Haven. He got what he wanted from most Of
them. He promised to come back and repay
what he borrowed within q week. He didn't.
In about six weeks he reappeared with checks
varying in amount from SO to $15. With
profuse apologies for his delay he offered
;hese in payment OF his debt. 1t is not known,
however, that ANYBODY cashed his checks.
though they were signed by men fairly well
known among recent graduates. That they
were not cashed was not due 80 much to the
ieen perception of the men to whom they were
offered as ia, the fact that. luckily, the young
man approached them when they had not the
cash to give him. Then he varied his tactics.
