rhe Mutilated Ri1I snindla.

The antiquity of a swindle rarely
interferes with its success If 1t be
skillfully managed, else one confidence
game that has recently been played
here proftably would never have been
revived. 1t depends on the practice Of
the United States government in re-
deeming any part of torn bill for the
amount of money it represents. The
value of part of bill Is very exactly
determined by means of an apparatus
which measures the fragment of the
bill with the greatest accuracy. This
mechanism prevents anybody from get
ting In return for part of torn bill.
any more than it is really worth.
That fact is not generally known,
and it is the ignorance of the public
in the matter that has lately made
possible the success of a well dressed
swindler who has been operating down
town. He has with him parts of $40
bill bearing the bill number. He ex-
plains to walters, barkeepers, cashiers
and similar persons that he is too busy
to go to the subtreasury and redeem
the bill for which he could secure the
full value. He offers for that reason
to dispose Of the torn piece for small
sum and has succeeded in getting from
SIS to 81 for fragments of bill that
could never be redeemed for more than
half those sums.
The purchasers, of course, had conf
dence in the mistaken theory that the
full value Of a bill would be paid at
the treasury for any part of it, how
ever small the section might be. By
dividing a $40 bill into five or six pieces
and selling them ON such liberal terms
this form of swindling may be made
very proitable.-New York Sun.

Failure.


Failure" says Keats, us, in sense,
the highway to success, inasmuch as
every discovery of what is false leads
us to seek earnestly after what is true,
and every fresh experience points out
some form Of error which we shall
afterward carefully avoid"
Defeats and failures have played a
great part in the history Of success.
It is not pleasant to think that more
or less Of defeat is absolutely neces-
sary to great success. But that it is
true every student of history knows.
Defeats and failures are great devel-
opers Of character. They are the gym
nasia which have strengthened the
muscles of manhood, the stamina, the
backbone which have won victories.
They have made the giants of the race
by giving titanic muscles, brawny
sinews, far reaching intellects.
How true it is that poverty often
hides her charms under ugly masksl
Thousands have been forced into great
ness by their very struggle to keep
the wolf from the door. She is often
the only agent nature can employ to
call man out of himself and push
him on toward the goal which she had
fitted him to reach. Nature cares little
for his ease and pleasure. 1t is the
man she is after, and she will pay any
price or resort to any expedient to
lure him on. She masks her own ends
in mans wants and urges him onward,
oftentimes through difficulties and OBJ
stacles which are well nigh disheart-
ening, but ever onward and upward
toward the goal.-Register.

a young Pittsburger arose from hiS
bed one morning and dressing, went
down stairs to breakfast AS he sat at
the table he carelessly put his right
hand into his trousers pocket and was
surprised to find 1925. He knew that
when he retired for the night he had
Just % cents and had fallen asleep
while wondering where he could bor-
row money the next morning. He was
highly elated over the discovery, for,
although he thought long and hard,
he could not remember how he had
come into the possession of the money.
After work that day he took friend
to the opera and later to supper. When
he returned home about midnight, a
brother stepped into his room and said,
Harry, did you pay that bill for me
todayY
The young man was almost dunn
founded. 1t all came to him at once.
Shortly after he had retired the pre-
vious night his brother had entered the
room and, placing the money in his
trousers pocket, said: Say, old man,
when you go down town tomorrow, l
wish you would pay Mr.. that bill
owe him. promised to let him have
it by tomorrow.
The young man was doing at the
time, and that accounts for his failure
to remember what his brother had said
to him. He was kept busy borrowing
from friends to make up the amount
the next day, and he declares that
hereafter his brother will have to pay
his own bills.-Pittsburg Chronicle

As she Described It.

1t was the first day of school, The
bell had tapped, and the little children
Of the secondary primary were sitting
upright In their seats, hands properly
folded and with round eyes fixed on
the new teacher, taking a mental in
ventory.
She was bit nervous. 1t was her
first school The children made her
"fidgety," they stared at her SO hard
and watched her so narrowly.
She began to feel like a mouse that
is within the clutches of cat She
cast about wildly in her mind for some
occupation to begin the first day. She
regretted bitterly that she had not ar
ranged some definite plan of campaign.
Then her face frightened. She would
find out what the children already
knew. Question followed question,
touching on divers subjects.
''Now, who knows what a skeleton
Is?" asked the teacher, smiling coax
ingly.
The little girl wearing the pink ging-
ham apron and occupying the back
seat waved her hand wildly and work
ed her mouth in frantic endeavor to get
teacher to look at her.
"Well, what is it?"
"a skeleton" said the tot, twisting
her apron in her fingers, SIS a man
who has his insides outside and his
outsides off."-Denver Times.
