A NEW sWINDLE.

Here's brand new swindle which is
being successfully worked on the far
mers of southwest Michigan. a well
dressed stranger stays all night with the
intended victim and during the stay
reports that he has lost valuable dia-
mond pin somewhere about the place.
After searching for half a day he takes
his leave, feeling badly about his loss
requests the family TO keep a watch out
for the pin, adding that he will pay 500
for its recovery. \ few days later a
bum appears ON the place and accident
ally shows a pin exactly like the one
they had been looking for and casually
remarks that hc found it just outside the
gate. After some dickering the pin is
sold for $50 and sometimes $50. The
farmer then writes TO the address left 10y
the stranger and asks him to bring his
hundred and get his pin. He never
comes, a. the bum was in the deal and
the pin had cost only 20 cents

NEWSPAPERS ARE NOT OBJECTS OF
CHARITY.

Speaking of what a newspaper does
for community, United States Sena-
tor David Davis, of Illinois, made an
address that remains ever green in the
memories Of newspaper men He said:
Every year every local paper gives
from 800 to 1900 free lines for the bene-
fit Of the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or Will
do this The editor in proportion TO his
means does more for his own town than
any other man He ought to be supported
not because you happen to like him or
admire his writing, but because "A local
paper is the best investment a community
can make. 1t may not be crowded with
great thought, but financially, it is of
more benefit than both preacher and
teacher Today editors do more for less
pay than any man on earth. Patronize
your home paper, not a. a charity, but
as an investment"

The success Of this novel and amusing
method of heralding the advent of this

led others TO initiate this medium of

not confound this attraction with their
