HIS AloH-peleEo Rqa.
How a clever Bunko Game Was Played
on a son OF sunny Ttsiy,


A well-planned scheme was worked
on a downtown Italian confectioner the
other night whereby he lost $50. says
the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
About 2 D. m. a man who had one good
eye and one glass eye came wandering
along the street and stopped at this
Italians fruit stand He stopped over
to look at some OF the fruit. when un-
expectedly his glass eye fell from its
socket down among the bananas and
oranges. The pretending purchaser at
once began a diligent search for the
missing glass eye With both hands
he clawed into the fruit, scattering it
forward and told the stranger to stop.
The one-oyed man explained that his
glass eye had dropped down there and
that he wanted to get It. The Italian
became enraged and told the stranger
TO come around In the evening and he
could get the other eye. The man ex-
planned he wgs a stranger and would
not be here in the evening, but If he
(the Italian) found the eye he should
bring it to his hotel, where 500 would
be paid to him. An hour later another
man came along. pretended to make
a purchase, and while lingering around
in the fruit suddenly espied the won
derful glass eye. The man from italy
made a grab for It, but was too late,
as his would-be customer already had
IT, Both claimed the eye and a quar-
rel ensued. The Italian patched up
matters by giving the stranger $50 for
the eye. thinking he would get $lOO
upon returning it and he would have
$50 clear. lie went to the hotel with
the eye to get the 500 that he was
told awaited him there. He found that
no such man had been there and 10
500 was left there for him. He then
saw how he was worked and notified
the police.

KIND OF PIPE TO SMOKE.
Amber Substitutes should he Avoided,
as They Are Very Dangerous.

AMBER Substitutes should lie Avoided,
They Are Very Dangerous.
From the London Telegraph: A soft
clay is invariably cool smoking. be-
cause the acid oils obtained on the de-
struetive distillation of the tobacco are
absorbed instead of collecting in a lit
tie pool, which must eventually, either
by the volatilization or by mechanical
conveyance, reach the mouth. An old
wooden pipe or brier. so dear to invet-
crate smokers, becomes Smooth
smoking because the pores of the
wood widen and so absorb, as is the
case with clay and meerschaum, a
large proportion of the tobacco oils. A
hook-shaped pipe must be better than
pipe the bowl of which Is On the
same level as the mouth, for the sim
pie reason that in the former a con-
siderable quantity OF the oil is kept
back in the U-shaped part OF the pipe,
while in the latter the oil travels easily
down the stem. Ebonite stems are in
general Objectionable, because they
commonly spoil the true flavor of the
tobacco smoke. We know instances
where ebonite stems have produced
distinctly Objectionable symptoms in
the throat. Bone OF real amber makes
a much more satisfactory stem, or the
pipe should be of wood throughout.
Amber substitutes, and especially cell
luloid, should be discarded entirely as
dangerous. Pipes of special .onstruc-
tion cannot be regarded with much fa-
Yor. such as those which are said to
be by ydenio and usually contain a So
called nicotine absorber. Those smok-
ers who require such auxiliary attach
ments had better not smoke at ALL

The tlnplate clippings from the

gathered together. tied in bales, and
