The aIutllated n.II swlndle.


The antiquity of a swindle rarely
interferes with its success If it be
slSillfully managed. else one confidence
game that has recently been played
here probably 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 1t represents. The
value of a 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 we'll dressed
swindler who has been operating down
town. He has with him parts of a $40
bin 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
IS 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 $40 bill into five or six pieces
and selling them on such liberal terms
this form of swindling may be made
very profitable. New York Sun.

away from those instrumentalities
that tend to lift humanity out oil
the vice and make them selfreli-
ant.
When the doors of his own
courts were shut to the Indian,
the jails of the country were open
ed and the penitentiaries stood
ajar ready to receive him. He is
fast getting the impression that he
is sure to be punished if he steals
from the white man, but that on
the other hand the white man can
plunder him without limit or pes
sibility of conviction. The vices
and crimes committed by the full
blood Indian (other than those
caused by liquor spring from his
physical wants-from hunger and
thirst and his inability to provide
for his family, clothing and other
necessities. dis offenses are
against property rather than
against person, and are not
prompted by brutal passions.
Now is a splendid time to give the
common fullblood Indian fair
chance, The way to teach him to
respect the law is to enforce it up
on his neighbors as well as him
self. There are over ten thousand
fullblood Indians in the Cherokee
nation alone, and the United States
laws are a tangled hank to them.
The government owes them some
consideration, as well as its ample
protection.
