lar for his fare to Boston. His gem
erosity made him strapped.

Here is scheme that easily beats
the Franklin syndicate and makes
more money than anything ever heard
of before or since. And it is perfectly
legitimate as far as law goes. The
following advertisement appeared In a
western paper not long ago: Wanted
At once, 100 men to fish on shares;
will give one-half they catch.'
The day after the advertisement APP
peared, the signer began to receive let
tiers from eager fishermen, all anxious
to fish on shares and wanting to know
where and what and how many. The
advertiser sent circular letter to all
of them. He told them in substance
that they might fish anywhere they
wished, with any sort of tackle and
catch any sort of fish. All he asked
was that they send him half of what
they caught, he guaranteeing to pay
the freight on his share. And this was
not joke, but a bona fide advertise
ment, published in large daily in a
western CITY.

cLIFFoRD's GOOD WORK.
Worcester Runner Congratulated on
His Showing in the Boston Race.

Worcester Runner Congratulated on
His Showing in the Boston Race.
w. K. Clifford of this city, who won
third in the 10-mile cross country
championship at Boston, Thanksgiving
day, received many favorable COM
ments in Boston newspapers yester-
day for his good work The Spy told
yesterday the story of his good run
ming. He won third place. as The Spy
stated, and secured a bronze medal,
the prizes being gold, silver and bronze
medals for the three men first in. An
unreliable morning paper of this city
had Petit of AndoVer winning third,
and didn't give Clifford credit of finish
ing. When the men finished, Petit re-
ceived credit of being third, because
there was a mix-up in his and Cliff
ford's numbers.
The checkers kept scoring Pettit's
number instead of Clifford's. But the
mistake was easily rectified when the
finish was reached, for Petit went only
three and half miles. The Worcester
lad deserves greatAcredit for his stay
ing qualities. 1t was his first long run,
and he didn't train very hard for it.
He has great endurance, and is a
strong runner. Although he did not
make the high school track team last
winter it was not his fault, but rather
the fault of the trainer who worked
him necessarily as a trial horse for
other runners, and took all the run out
of him. Clifford will probably enter
the Marathon run of % miles Patriots
day, which is the most noteworthy
long distance event of the country.

A well-dressed man. showed himself
a thorough good fellow few nights
ago by inviting the employees of the
hotel into the cafe. The best of food
and drink was none too good, and
when the guest prepared to leave, the
bill which was Haunted in his face was
whopper.
The hotel clerk was something of a
good fellow himself, and, wishing to
tighten the expense of the guests dis
play of good nature, Clipped off few
items. AS it remained, the bill was
a stiff one, and the clerk did not blame
his prosperous-lo looking guest for think
ing and looking it over few times.
It was about ten minutes before train
time when the man who had blown
himself reached into his wallet The
coupe was waiting at the door for de-
pot passengers, and the clerk sug-
gested that it was almost train time.
"Oh, never mind; I'll wait for the next
one" replied the generous fellow.
The roll of bills which the guest laid
on the desk tailed exactly with the
amount of the bill, and there was moth
ing left for the clerk to do but say
Smoke ?" hand the guest 15-center
and bid CHEEKY "Good day, sir" The
bell boys edged around and regretted
the departure of the generous stranger
Every hand was open for tips, but none
came.
Half an hour later, when there was
furry of activity in front of the hotel
office desk, the guest tugged at two
heavy grips and ambled out the side
door. His trip to the depot was by
shank's mare and he had an even dol

All sorts of kicks may be expected
from persons who think they should
have been included in the list of those
who received the city hall memorial.
The petition wGs limited to 100 copies
and these will be distributed according
to members of the committee, where
they will reach the greatest possible
number of persons in all walks of life.
There is the consolation, however, con-
templating the situation. The first plan
was to issue but six copies to be pre-
scented members of the commission.
