The Lightning Rod Contract

The Perth farmer who was swindled
by lightning rOi agents last week,
showed Us the contract last night he
was swindled on. 1t is a very innO-
cent looking paper at first glance. 1t
would be very easy matter for a
smooth tOngued swindler to induce an
unguarded farmer to sign the paper
if he wanted the rods, even after ask
ing him to scrutinize it closely to see
that it was all right.
Here is the blank contract:
NoTICE-Salesmen' authority limited to
taking written OF printed orders for the
erection of lightning rods.
ORDER FOR THE ERECTION OF RODS.
1t is expressly understood by the signer Of
this order that he signs IL upon his own judy
ment, after due delibel atiOn By him, without
any undue influence having been used, Or re-
lying on any representations made by an
agent other than written or printed on this
order. IL Is agreed that after erection or de-
livery of goods this order is negotiable.

Dated this-th day Of-,l9S-.
In the contract signed by The Perth
farmer, the paragraph in nonpareil
ending negotiable" was made to read
leash" and the following clause in.
serted 10 ink: "The work to cos.
sl4." The price of the rods was
changed from 67i cents per foot TO 81
cents, and a clause inserted giving the
farmer 80 feet Of rod, five points, five
balls and one vane free Of charge.
The farmer signed the contract under
the impression that his house was To
be rodded as described for sl4, and a
small sum for extra rod over 80 feet.
The agent pOcketed tie contract and
drove off.
! A few days afterward two more
lightning rod men came along in a
wagon and put the rods on the farm.
eris house. When the work was COM
plcted the farmer was presented with
a bill for 1874. He told them he only
owed sl4. One OF the men had the
contract the farmer had signed. The,

vanes, glass balls and 80 feet of roc
had been given gratis. They explained
TO the farmer: "Sixty-seyen cents pc
