A MEAN TRICK.

Oakland, Ills, Ledger: There is
a man in Oakland who uses his
brains to do manual labor. His
wife asked him to plant some po-
tatoes, and after few excuses he
consented to perform the task.
After working a few minutes he
came into the house and said he
had found coin. He washed it
off and it proved to be a silver
quarter. He put it in his jeans
and went back to work. Presently
he came again into the house and
said he had found another coin.
He washed the dirt off of it, and
it was a silver half dollar. He put
it in his jeans. He then made an
excuse that he had a "catch" in
his back and thought he would
rest awhile and take nap. When
he arose he fodnd that his wife
had finished planting the potatoes.
But she found no coins. 1t then
downed upon her. that she had
been "Worked."

If certain representatives of the present.

a worried, hunted look on their faces they
have good cause, for, the revelations made

gang resorted to methods that would
make even veteran crook vince. If all

patrons. 1t would be quite impossible to
be more corrupt, greedy and conscience

have been shown to be.

mental in rounding up evidence regard
ing police methods says that the people
will be startled beyond measure when
the disclosures come.

be many indictments, as it is possible
