of a staff and rushed with it up the hill
to the enemy's lines, keeping it in ad-

was electrical. Every man Of the First

and the rest rushed with them upon the

the flag was carried to the end of the

piece holding the flag, proved to be the

at the time that this was a prophecy;
of the blue would some day unite under

prophecy came true. The veterans Of
the south and those Of the north united

Shoes Gives One Start.
Somewhat similar is the story told by
another money-lender.- one who is on
Commercial street. and who is thus
brought into contact with many varied
forms of humanity and humanity's
wants.
To this lender came one day a man
down on his luck. In the terms of the
street, he was strictly ION his uppers.
His only collateral in stock consisted OF
a Well-WOFn pair of shoes, worth when
new probably $3.50. They had seen
service since those days, however, and
the owner was glad TO become the
party of the first part" for a consider
alton of 10 cents4
With this capital and an all-abiding
faith that there is a limit to a gamblers
bad luck. but none to his good luck,
the financier of the green cloth sailed
upstairs TO a gambling resort.
1t seemed as though there were Moth
ing but Sevens the first crack out Of the
box, and the man on the line soon
saw his dime grow to 20 cents, then to
49, then TO so, then back 10 40 and then
by devious ways and turns to over $40.
he might nave been winning yet but
he had been there too often before and
so hied himself back TO the brokers'
more to display his greatly grown
fund than TO get his shoes out. But
the latter he did.
Another DawnbrOker on the same
street recalled where a man had
soaked his suit for a few dollars.
This went for the support of the gay
CHANDELIERS and Commercial street sa-
lOOnmen. and in a few days the original
owner of the suit was back to ask an
other small advance on his clothes. He
duplicated the experience of the man
with the shoes, but it is not on record
that he saved his suit or original capt.
tai in the final piece of bad luck which
took his all in all.
But how many men pawn their
shoes and their suits for small sums
and gamble their money away and new
er do redeem their property" was
asked.
We'll. you can figure FOR yourself; it

or couple of pairs of overalls. Maybe
be can realize fifteen cents on them or
maybe q quarter. That means. a
square" meal at 2 restaurant where a
perfect mass or mess of food is set be-
fore one for dime. OF course there
are no finger bowls and the garnish-
ingS aren't of the most tempting. but
it's a meal, and il costs only dime.
And if you have any idea that there
aTe not scores and scores of men who
are guests at these dime cafes drop
around Commercial street some night
to any of the several hostelries OF this
description and see the full tables and
men waiting outdoors.
And il would be remarkable indeed If
you could not see the evolution from a
hungry man and a pair of old shoes
into borrowing man and pawned
shoes, into loan and then into salts
tying meal. This is done many and
many times every day and TO those who
arc in need these pawn shops which
take clothing as collateral are food
sends.
And there is something Of frenzied
finance about some OF the patrons of
pawn shops. They viii obtain q loan,
redeem their property and have 1t in
again in the course OF twenty-four
hours.
Have you actually seen goods go out
and como back again IN the space or an
hour or two?" was asked.
Have I?p and in the query was
something OF a hint that this was the
veriest routine-"Have l, well l should
say. OF course when people do this it
invariably means that the loan has been
spent in dissipation OF some kind l

point a pOOrly-dressed man walked
into his shop one day and asked for a
loan Of 500 on a diamond stud. The
clerk questioned him closely, suspecting
something was wrong. To test the man
he offered TO buy the stud for SIPS. This
was refused. He offered $3.50.
i don't want to sell it." reiterated
the man, ''all / want is loan of 500"
The loan was finally made.
The fellow promptly marched up to
a gambling house, told the big chief"
that he had a diamond in 'hock" for
800 that was worth at least twice as
much, and offered TO turn over the GER
tifcate if the gambler would give him
$50. This was done and the ring taken
out. A few days later its theft was
reported.
Another case where a diamond did
not bring it's full value was related by
one Of the detectives. Two diamonds
were stolen and the thief pawned one
reason, sold the other on the street for
70 cents. The diamond was worth SO.
The one which had been pawned was,
of course. recovered by the owner.
\ round of the paWnshops yesterday
revealed some more interest ting dope"
along these lines.
Yes, L recall one case which hap
pened some time ago, said one pawn
broker. Feminiscently.
a man who said he just blew in
from Butte secured a loan of between
800 and $3.50 on a diamond ring. He
left the store, but was back in few
hours. He began dumping gold, silver
and greenbacks out of his pockets. He
had coin in every portion of his clothes.
" Here he exclaimed, when the last
of it was on the counter, put this in
the safe for me. Nav, n'never mind
counting it. I won't count it, just pile
'er awaV.'
II explained that I would not hold the
money for him unless he counted it. We
set to work and there was over 81, 200
in all. He told me he had won that in
the space of a few hours gambling

until in few Weeks he had again made
borrow and was broke.

took the dimes of 200 men 10 give the
one his $780, was the reply.
So one is not TO figure out as the
moral OF the two stories given above
that TO hook" ones shoes or third-be
suit is the. most effective offering that
can be made prior TO worshipping the
Goddess of Chance.
More "TaIes of the Street"
One Commercial street lender told of
man rushing into the shop one night.
Here, l want TO get 81 on this" he
calculated, showing some jeWelry to-
ward the dealer. My wife's waiting for
me just around the corner and We want
to go TO the tabernacle concert. The
seats are 81 apiece and I'm short. This
is some of her stuff "
The transfer was made Mr.. and
Mrs. Blank occupied good seats at the
tabernacle concert and exchanged crit
icisms with their friends the next day.
And then Mr.. Blank slipped up the
street for those jewels.
AS the dealer was "reminiscing,n a
Jap entered the store.
Japs have a peculiarly bland smile
when they smile. This smile wax bland
of the bland. The Jap looked like an
old friend. He evidently was, for not
many words We're necessary. The son
OF Nippon held an overcoat in his arm.
He laid it down and received SO. Unlike
his white brothers who have collateral
TO dispose of the Jap offered no excuse.
Maybe he knew that mono was needed.
Quarter of an hour back marched the
little brown man. Another smile, a
few words and he had obtained an
other small advance on the coat which
was already in pawn.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put

supposed to be incurahle. For a great
many years doctors pronounced il local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced il incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
sttutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Pawnbrokers Have FRIENDS.

The money-lender mentioned is the
one who accomplished the arrest Of
the Park city burglar \. conversation
with him goes a long way toward mod
flying the idea that pawnbrokers have
no friends. no aim save that leading
toward gain. And it would also con-
vince one that the pawbroker must
needs equip himself according 10 his
environment and be prepared 10 outwit
those who would outwit him. He told
OF regular clients Of the house whose
word is as good as their bond and who
when they wish 10 obtain d temporary
loan, can do so without so much as a
contract being mentioned. These are
the men and women who. having
proved their honesty can simply lay
their collateral down in d pawnshop
receive the desired money and walk
out without exchanging a word as to
the rate of interest, life OF the loan,
etc.
