Business 10 Not All ProAt
THE oldest thing ever had oHsesd

skelss ION: and didn't take It hadn't
any doubt that 1t was all right, that
the man that offered 1t owned 1t and
had q right to sell it. suppose he was
q medical student who wanted money
just then more than he wanted the
skeleton. But didn't know anything
about the value Of skeletons, and how
much to advance on 1t. and 20 didn't
take It. But that viii give you some
sort Of An Idea Of the variety OF things
that the pawnbroker has offered to
him.
"Of course you understand that not
all pawnbrokers take verything; there
are men who advance money on moth
Ing but watches and jewelry and dia-
monds and pictures and that sort Of
thing, and who wouldn't give anything
on the handsomest satin-lined overcoat
that ever was, because II isn't in their
line. They have no place to put such
thlngs; no conveniences for taking care
Of them. And then there are pawn
brokers doing q general business who
take all sorts Of things, watches and
oanjos, boxing gloves and silver spoons,
practically anything and everything
that offers. They might occasionally
run across something that they
wouldn't take, a. I did with the skele-
ton, but not often; there's practically
nothing but what they will take, and
practically nothing but what IL offered
At one time and another.
ION some things the amount ad-
vanced Is very small; but still I've got
things In safe that 1 never should Get
my money back on II 1 had to sell
them. You'd suppose 1t would be easy
for the pawnbroker to give on q thing
no more than he could get for 1t If he
had to sell II, and 50 1t would be: but
a. q matter Of fact. he may give more
than he could get back. He would be
governed by circumstances, and BY his
judgment Of the person Offering the
goods.
''The question Of whether a man who
wants q loan Is likely to redeem what
he OuerB ID OIteu tdkeu lupO account.
1t Is a common thing for the pawn
broker to look at the man, maybe a
stranger, and lend on his judgment Of
the man as well as on his knowledge
Of the value of the thing the man puts
down on the counter. OF course, he
makes mistakes in this, but he takes
the chances. and I suppose he ofteusr
