A. RECENT BOOK BUBBLE.

Have we come upon a book-bubblc In
these days, even as did Holland upon
her Tulip Bubble?"
The book-agent is In the hey-day OF
fortune. j. Z. Morgan can doubtless
well afford to spend $4,000 for the Scrv-
eners Manuscript of Paradise Lost. and
has gotten a bargain for his money
though poor blind Milton received only

But that one hundred and thirty thou
sand dollar edition of Dickens recently
offered has been working ruin to at least
two enthusiasts. y well-to-do silk manu-
facturer of Philadelphia goes to the wall
recently by reason of such a purchase;
and his debts having been insured by n
New York credit insurance company,
have cost that company pretty penny.
Now comes Mrs. Abble B. Bodsett. OF
this city, who with an income OF $500,
has incautiously contracted for that same
1870 volumes of Dickens at $1,000 a volume,
and for about $4,000 worth OF other cu-
rious and rare editions. In vulgar par
lance. she has also. bitten off more than
she can chow. Her son comes into
court and pleads that she Is an incom-
petent, praying that her contracts be
annulled. The average man viii endorse

only be $3.50 and that $3.50 of this
amount would be taken in board, leav-
ing only 50 net to pay. Mr. Ebert pro-
tested that he did not want any light
ming rods, but was in course of time
hypnotized into signing a paper which
the agent said was simply describing
his farm so that the men who were to
put up the rods might know where to
come. Mr.. Ebert could not well read
the paper and wanted to be assured
there was no "~humbug'' about it, and
the agent gave his solemn word of
''honor" that it was all right and no
humbug. In course of time two other
men drove up TO Ebert s place with a
lot of rods. Ebert told them to go
away that he did not want any light
ming rods, but the men proceeded to
unload the rods and went ahead put
ting them up. They showed Ebert his
signed order for something over 5000
worth of work and demanded their pay
or a promissoey note. He refused,
~whereupon they threatened to put a
elem upon his farm, and finally
scared him into signing a note for $500.
Now, don't it just beat the band how
farmers will continue to be du ped and
robbed in this manner. Time and
again have the newspapers warned
them never to sign any kind
OF a paper presented by a stranger.
Well all there is about it, those who
wont listen to warning may have the
fun of paying for their foolishness.
