Ncnt Swindiing Scheme That
FIeeced BucIzet Shop Patrons.
"If the real inside workings Of the
average bucket shop were laid bare"
said a telegraph operator who has had
much experience in such establish
ments, the revelation would open the
eyes Of the young donkeys who mag
Inc they can beat the game. Just to
illustrate the point I'll tell you a little
story.
"Some time ago there were two rival
bucket shops in a certain southern
city, supposed to be run by northern
operators. Business was a little slow,
and it was evident that the specula-
tive element was inclined 10 be suspi-
cious of both establishments. One
day the manager Of one Of the concerns
hunted up a young fellow who had
more money than brains and. handing
him $50, asked him, as n special favor,
to 90 over TO the other house and make
such and such a play. It's a private
speculation Of my own,' he said, and

Co. If did they'd get suspicious right
away
"The young idiot supposed, of course,
that he had struck a bonanza one
bucket shop man playing against an
otherl 1t must be a sure thingl SO he
not only placed the $50 as requested
but played the tip hard himself, and 50
did all his friends, whom he promptly
let into the secret. Needless to say
they were all eventually skinned out Of
every cent they put in, but the remark
able part of the story Is that the same
tactics were worked back and fortl
by both managers on Mt least a dozeI
different occasions. Each time 1t wal
done they gathered In a lot Of new
clients and made a big haul. 1t de
veloped not long afterward that th,
two bucket shops were run by tn
same people. New Orleans Times

Gems HIVE orrnnie Life.

Scientists frequently remind us that
gems possess life-organic life. Ev-
erybody knows that opals and pearls
grow dull when worn by lnvalids. and
it has been lately proved that rubles
and the turquoise show the same sen
sibillty. Pearls are most delicate and
lose color and brilliancy and actually
die. Rings and pins should not be
worn by invalids. because the Invisible
emanations of disease penetrate the
microscopic interstices Of the gem and
kill its life. philadelphia Press.
