Did Anyone Get the Diamonds?

Not long ago neatly dressed, smooth
tongued. we'll appearing fellow tackled
one of our business men with nicely
polished little story of being hard up
just for few days. and offered a
beautiful $500 diamond ring as security
for loan of 5000 for ten days, when he
would be able to redeem it with the
loads of money which would soon reach
him. He was so nice about it and
wanted to be go liberal that he would
take $175 and call the loan 5000 He
was willing to pay ts5 for the little
accommodation. He did whole lot Of
nice talking and seemed to think he
had won favor in the eyes of this bust
ness man, but the man of business was
far from being in condition to pur.
chase $500 diamond ring for $l75.
He asked the unfortunate young man q
number of questions and finally asked
him as clincher: Are you not a
brother of Mrs. Cassie Cha dwick?'
That stopped the deal and the young
man went away in high disgust to seek
someone who would be willing TO put
up $175 for a $15 paste diamond.
Not long ago another smart looking
fellow entered business house in this
CITY and finding one of the head men
idle for moment said: Would you
like to make big money fast in leg
itimate way?" Certain responded
the b. m. "Ihave here small bag of
diamonds which were left me by my
sainted mother, and I want you to
share in the great wealth they repre-
sent by taking them at half price.
I'm long way from home and got
stranded on my way to Mexico where |
own a ten thousand acre coffee planta.
ton These diamonds are worth
SO, 900 but in order to realize promptly
l am willing to sacrifice these valuables
of my sainted Mother for IS, 900.
The business man didn't like being
sized up for soft snap and concluded
to cut The fellow short.
How long has your Sainted Mother
been dead ?" asked The b. IN.
Twenty years, last 4th of July.
She was killed in steamboat collision
at Coney Island. and over half of those
on board were drowned by the sinking
of the steamer. "
"Were you on board at the time, :"
asked the b. m. ...=.
mo, sir, I was not, why?' S
I"Why, was thinking" said the b.
m. ''thst if you had been on board with
with your Sainted Mother and went
down into the salt, salt sea, as food for
the little blue fish. you would not be at
large as fiji subject for the pen, and q
disgrace to your Sainted Mother if you
ever had one." 81.
"But, protest my honesty and hon
orable intentions"
Don't protest to me you liver linked
fraud-ge, out or I'll fire you into the
arms of the marshall ..
The fellow left to seek other fields
and people who would believe his
Sain,ed Mothers story. r.u ~
