TRICK OF TICKET SELLERS.
How Circus Patrons Sometimes Are
Cheated Out of Their
Money.

'Short-changing' or 'fim-fam.
ming is practiced by an interruptions
class of ticket Sellers" said an old-time
circus ticket seller, ''the opportunities
that the business offers being greater
than that of any other 1 know Of
Everything is hustle and confusion, a
man loses his head, doesn't think to
count his change, and becomes an easy
victim, when under ordinary circum-
stances he'd detect the fraud. I'll at
tempt to describe to you one of the
commonest tricks of 'fim-famming' on
an extensive sale: A man approaches
the booth, hunts in his pocket for
change, and finally pulls out ten
dollar bill. The ticket seller takes the
preliminary performance in at glance
and knows to a dead moral certainty
that the man hasn't anything smaller.
He looks at the bill a moment, then
sizes up hts cash, as if in doubt. Then
suddenly he turns to his victim and
says:
"'Is this the smallest you've got?'
1.-THE man tells him that it is. All
of this has consumed but fraction
of minute, you'd say, but in point
VI IetCb II lIclS given tHC SIloI pei d ClldIlCG
to fold the bill in such way that
none of the figures are visible, and
there is nothing to indicate what its
denomination is. The bill is passed
deftly from the right to the left hand,
in the palm of which is concealed q
one dollar bill folded in precisely the
same manner. 1t is the work of only
a second to substitute one for the other
the ticket seller apologizing all the
while for his inability to make change
and the victim walks off unsuspecting
ly with one dollar where he had ter
dollars, and the chances are that he
doesn't discover his mistake until some
moments later. And then he fails tc
get satisfaction, for, of course, the
short-change artist denies the fraud
emphatically.
"The ordinary way of handing a man
short change in silver is beautifully
simple. Say. for instance, a man buys
two 50-cent tickets and tenders a five
dollar bill. Three dollars and a half
in small change is placed in his hand
hurriedly and he walks off without
counting it. Eventually he finds out
that he's so cents shy but it is too
late to make kick. The short-change
man knows who to 'f1im-fiam' and who
to treat squarely. He sizes up his man
at a glance and can come pretty near
telling whether he'll count his money
or not before leaving. That's where
his knowledge of human nature comes
into play.
Ticket selling is profitable employ
ment outside of any illegitimate gains.
A man can always count on finding his
cash five to six dollars over at the end
of the day. The per cent. of people
who get excited in the confusion OF
the moment and leave their change on
the counter is always great. This over
plus goes to the seller, and the econom-
ically inclined Snowman doesn't have
to touch his salary during the month";

manded the child.

ever of the child. The deputy sheriff
produced a warrant, arrested the
woman an demanded information as
to the whereabouts of the child.

At this Mrs. Wilson weakened and
made confession. The baby was then
produced, and the sheriff took both

Not a Pound of Anything, Sir"


The way in which Dewey arranged
getting supplies out of Hong-Kong was
simple. The little merchant ship Zafiro
which Dewey bought in Hong-Kong be.
forehe set out for the Philippines. acted
as the carrier. It was commanded by
Lieut.. Walter Mclean. Whenever the
Zafiro left Manila bay with dispatches
the admiral would say to Mclean in his
most emphatic manner: "Now, sir
don't you bring a thing from Hong,
Kong, sir, not a pound of anything, sir;
not single package" Then the Zafirc
would go to Hong-Kong and anchor in
Chinese waters. Coal, coffee, hard
bread and all manner of supplies would
mysteriously come on board and not an
officer ever saw them loaded. Anybody
could go to the Zafro. put on anything
he liked and no one would stop him.

Held Up. Dynamited and Robbed.
THE Union Pacific Transcontinental
west-bound mail train was held up,

A New Phase Presented.

Washington, June IA phase of tho
army situation that :s receiving con-
siderable attention from those inter
ested in the artillery arm of the sery-
ice is the increasing shortage of men
to care for the constantly increasing
number of guns in the coast defenses.
This question, indeed, may have con-
siderable bearing on the question of
whether call for volunteers will be
necessary.
Not Enough ArtiIleryn,en.
There are not enough artillerymen
it is claimed, to take care of the mod
ern guns already installed on the coast
defenses. 1t is pointed out by tfose
familiar with the situation that. the
guns themselves are suffering from
want of attention. The emplacements
for the heavy modern guns are built
with mathematical accuracy. In the
big guns, the whole problem il
worked out by mathematics, anG II
the gun and its foundations deterio-
rate. Ill the fine work in their original
construction goes for nothing.
