SWINDLERS IN TABLE LINEN
Sold at Good Prices by Fakir Who
Pretends to Have Cheated
Uncle Sam.

A new trick to sell cheap table linen
at good prices was discovered the
other day by woman who lives in a
Jersey suburban town. The man who
practices it seems to find it profitable,
for when last heard of he had been
working it industriously for six
months.
He turned up in buggy at the Jer-
sey woman's house and displayed to
her half dozen table covers. They
were of German woven linen, heavily
starched and glazed to conceal their
finishes and coarseness of texture,
says the New York Sun.
"I've just landed from the steamer
Britannia explained the man in a very
fair imitation of an Irish brogue, "and
L managed to bring over with me from
the old country a few tablecloths of the
best Irish linen that ever saw the light
here. They're me only capital and I'm
selling them off meself to get enough
coin to start me in little business.
I'm able to sell them cheap, because
bringing them as me own property, 1
got them into the country without
paying duty. If you know good linen,
here's a great chance for bargain"
1t happened that the Jersey woman
did know something about linen and
when the man named for his inferior
wares a price at which the best Irish
linen would not be cheap, she told him
what she thought about his stock in
trade and declared that she didn't be-
lieve his tale.
He went away without making a
sale, but the woman he didn't succeed
in fooling wasn't surprised when a. few
days later her neighbors began to
show to her bargains in table linen
purchased from a clever Irishman who
had managed to cheat Uncle Sans
customs.
A week ago the Jersey woman was
visiting in a small town in Pennsyl-
vania. One afternoon her hostess
called her in consultation on linen
bargain offered by man who had "just
landed from the Britannia" It was the
same man and he had the same goods.
You've been telling that tale long
time" said the Jersey woman. "It must
pay WELL"
81 don't know what you mean
clustered the pseudo-Irishman
When the Jersey woman explained
he admitted that the trick did pay very
well.
1T isn't many women who know
good linen when it's new" said he, not
in the least embarrassed, though
most of them think they do"
