swindled.
A clever pair of swindlers sold the Lo-
gan Monument on the lake front to a
country town. Somehow the confidence
men discovered that rhis town was desir-
Gus of securing a monument for decora-
tive and memorial purposes. A represen-
tative of the town council was induced to
come to Chicago. He was met at the sta
ton by two well-dressed men. who pro-
duced credentials which ostensibly show
ed them to be representatives of the city
the Logan Monument and explained TO
him that the city was about to part with
the statue. The city. they said, was de-
sirous of leveling the ground. of having
the surface of the park uniform in height.
and also of preventing loafers from hang
ing about as they did now that the ap-
proach to the monument gave them
resting place. The countryban said he lik-
ed the monument and sent on for a dele
CATION of the town fathers to come and
inspect 1t. They came, and were 50 pleas
ed that they paid 500 down on the pur-
chase of the pile. Then the dream ended.
In most cases of this kind little real
sympathy should be bestowed upon the

city property are not walking around the
streets hawking their holdings at auction
prices. A man who would buy a twenty

Tue FAMILIAR MAN

Let US all pray to be saved from the
familiar man. Yet how numerous and
persistent he Is among all classes! He
probably began life by calling his father
and mother by their given names. On
the street he VITA come up behind and
slap you on the back and roar out.
Hello, Bill" though you may he 20
years his senior and opposed to being
struck in the back without previous
notification. If man is named Thomas,
Thomas is his name, and by his intl-
mates he likes to be called Thomas. But
the familiar man, ignoring his rights.
calls him Tommy, regardless Of the age,
dignity or position of the person ad-
dressed. Ministers. lawyers, judges, pa
triarchs-are all the same to the familiar
man-they are all Billy and Tommy and
Bobby and Jimmy to him. The ameni-
ties of social relations do not appeal to
the familiar man. The day after he has
been introduced to Miss Elizabeth Jones
she becomes Lizzie to him, and if she
snubs him on the third day he hasn't
the sense, usually. to divine the reason,
for the familiar man is generally as
stupid as he Is fresh.
