SHE TRANSACTS BUSINESS

TO the World: Once more the American
people have been swindled. over usil
lion dollars have been taken cat o. the
pockets OF poor people by an unscAupu-
lous adventurer. who promised 10 make
suddenly rich all those who trusted him
with their money.
It IS the same old lesson which People
seem never to be wAse enough 70 learn.
1t is the Lesson that two and two mske
four and not forty. It Is the lesson so
many need 10 master-that you cannot
get something for nothing in these days
Of keen business competition.
It seems OF little use 10 give advice or
warning 10 these misguided persons who
have been swindled There have always
been such dupes in the world. ami there

something for nothing. and make an inn

remember an instance OF this many
years ago. Ny father warned friend ~

It. This man became very angry az my
father and told al the members u his
family not 70 have anything 20 DO with
US short tlrae afterward my fathers
words came true, and the business that
he had warned mis- friend against went -
pieces. and al the depositors Lost the
money they had invested my fathera
friend among them. hut father never re-
celved any gratitude for the warning Re
had given.
