Some years ago while I was staying
at small town in Michigan, large
man travelling with his wife and young
son in q fine carriage, took quarters at
the hotel.
During the several weeks he was
there, I never saw him speak dozen
words to anyone, although he was
constantly in the hotel Office.
He smoked the choicest cigars, and
several Of them day. Should the
landlord or any of the guests address
him, they would be rewarded by a
mere grunt or monosyllable, and his
wife was equally freticent. Whether
he was q grand duke in disguise, a
horse thief or a bank robber, no one
was able to guess.
Every afternoon his handsome team
and carriage were brought to the hotel
entrance, and he and his family would
take q long ride into the country.
After the silent man had been there
just q week two strapping big men
called to see him Saturday evening
and remained until Monday morning.
Each carried what they called "Pat-
,nt Clothes Founder and Cleanser" /"

would move to town, and ct once be.
gin operations.
This plan they carried out, after
which they themselves started out to
sell clothes Founders, as an expert
ment, before hiring agents.
Their idea was to begin where the
grafters had left of and they took
along the boys. who had driven for .hs
canvassers.
They discovered from the start that
when they offered their simple, foolish
looking piece of wood, with q few
holes bored in it, for five dollars, the
farmers and their wives would fairly
hoot at them. 1t took less than two
days to convince them that they had
been literally swindled out of their
farms and cash.
On the evening Of the second day
out they met by arrangement in .
small town, and no more broken
hearted men could possibly be imag-
ined. Neither of these two poor, ua-
sophisticated dupes had had the slight
est prospect of obtaining an order.
Before giving it up they tenacious,y
determined to give it one more trial,
first calling on some Of the purchasers
to see how these people liked the
Founders, and find out how the agents
managed to sell them so fast.
At the first house the woman said:
"Oh, pshaw! its no good; am go
ing to give it back when the agent
comes around collecting"
they exclaimed in amazement. Didn't
he collect when he delivered it,"
"Why, of course not" she answered;
che took my order on condition, that
he was to leave the thing On 30 days
trial, and at the end of that time he
would be around again, and either coll
lect the five dollars or take back the
clothes pounder. wouldn't accept the
old thing as gift
Continuing their investigation they
learned that not single pounder had
been sold-all had been left on trial.
The main CRATER had provided his
agents with the cash, and after making
the delivery the agent would get into
the wagon, and putting the five-dollar
bill with his other money, would mark
down in his book one more fve-do!!ar
collection.
OF all the swindles and gratis have
known, this particular one has always
seemed the most heartless and cold
blooded These farmers had gone into
it, believing they were engaging in a
well-paying, legitimate business and
suddenly awakened to the fact that
they were absolutely stranded, one OF
them in debt to the amount of $4,000,
besides.
The above graft, being about the
biggest on record, will now relate
what I believe to be the smallest.
An Irishman, with only three cents
in his pocket, was in western mining
town where whisky was Is cents a
drink. Entering saloon he noticed
man standing by the bar with glass
of liquor before him. Approaching
him he said:

livery dhrop of yez glass of WHISKY

touchin' me t'roat."
.I'll take that bet" said the man.
Reaching for the glass Pat gulped It

Self-Dependence.


Many man has tried to Justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
MIN, that he must pick them up and
play the game, and that no effort, how
ever great, on his part, could material
y change the result. But, my young
friend, says Orison SWEET Marsden in
success Magazine, the fate that deals
your cards is in the main your own
resolution. The result of the game
does not rest with fate or destiny,
out with you. You will take the trick
II you have the superior energy, abili-
~ and determination requisite to take
It. You have the power within your
self to change the value of the cards
which, you say, fate has dealt you.
The game depends upon your train
ing, upon the way you are disciplined
to seize and use your opportunities,
and upon your ability to put grit in
the place of superior advantages
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
dents to physicians, put commonplace
clerygymen in uncommon pulpits, and
place the sons of rich at the head of
great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarce
ly any experience, while poor youths
with greater ability and, more expert
ence often have to fight their way
for years to obtain ordinary situa-
lions, are you justified in starting out
without a chart or in leaving aplace
for luck in your programme? What
would you think Of the captain of a
great liner who would start out to sea
without any port in view, and trust
to luck to land his precious cargo
safely? Did you ever know Of a
strong young man making out his life
programme and depending upon
chance to carry out any part of it.?
Men who depend upon "luck" do not
think it worth while to make thor
ough preparation for success. They
are not willing to pay the regular
price. for lit. They are looking for
bargains. They are hunting for short
cuts to success. Power. gravitates to
the man who knows how. Luck is
the tide, nothing more. The strong
man rows with it if it makes toward
his port: he rows against it if it flows

Workers Wanted.


Negroes, negroes everywhere, and
not man to work, is the plight
of the south. In constructive opera
tfons during the last year the negro
laborer- was found willing to work
ut exceptionally high wages. for about
half the time. In railroad work, We
are informed by reports from that
section, the men averaged about u
days each month. Wages are on q
steady increase, many cities paying
from $3.50 to 81 per day. With
white employees an increase of wages
generally is followed by a marked
additional effort Not so with the
dark man, on whom an advance in the
wage scale produces exactly the op-
posite effect. He works only long
enough for actual maintenance, and
with augmented wages he promptly
makes direct and corresponding re-
duction in effort His improvidence
and shiftlessness is reflected in the
sections annual reports, which show
in Mobile county, Alabama, for in
stance, that for the average fiscal pc
riod more than half have been buried
as paupers at the public expense, the
extent Of this economic loss being de-
fined in the statement that about one
half the entire population OF the coun-
", or something like 10000, are OF
negro descent. Meanwhile the souths
industrial expansion has produced
labor demand which is supplied neith-
e1 by natural increase of natives or by

Motoring Makes Fat.

Women who are afraid OF growing
fat and. adding adipose tissue should not
motor much. Nothing increases the
appetite like rushing through fresh
air. while the fact of sitting all day
prevents the taking ct ordinary exer-
elsie. Few people walk after they ac-
ouire motor. Progression seems too
slow and too tiresome, so that, like hens
shut up in coop, they only stir to eat.
II it is desired to retain the figure, q
woman should not motor every day, or
at least not all day, and should take care
10 indulge in q brisk walk, a ride, or .
bicycle run as we'll, in order to exercise
the muscles and keep them supple and

and journeyed on foot, with their
trousers tucked into their rubber boot
tops.
It developed later that the two men
were canvassers, and were working on
salary for the Main CRATER" as we
shall call him.
The scheme was worked as follows:
Two farmers, who were brothers-in-law,
were selected as dupes. One Of them
owned 100 acres of farm land, with .
new house and barn, and the other
100 acres upon which were a coln-
Portable house and barn. One lived
west Of the town and the other east. 4
One of the canvassers arranged with
one of these farmers for board, while
the other canvasser made his head
quarters with the other farmer. Once
settled one of them negotiated with his
landlord for the services of his son
and q horse and buggy with which to
canvass, while the other made similar
arrangements with the son of a near
neighbor of the farmer who boarded
him.
The "patent clothes FOUNDER and
cleanser was made entirely Of wood.
It was constructed exactly as was the
old-fashioned clothes pounder, of our
grandmothers' days, shaped hoop-skirt
fashion. In the center of the lower
part, a. good-sized hole was chiseled
out. extending upwards, about eight
inches, where small counter holes were
bored. intersecting the large one, so
that when the clothes were being
pounded the hot suds would be forced
by suction up into the FOUNDER. and
passing out through the side holes
would, they claimed, separate the dirt
from the clothing and leave it perfect
" clean-all by the one process OF
pourding, instead Of the old way OF
first pounding, and then scrubbing.
It mattered little, however, whether
the pounder did its work satisfactor-
lily.
1 When calling at the home Of a farm
er the canvasser would instruct the
young man, accompanying him, to .e-
main in the buggy while he went in
and made the canvass.
While standing in the doorway,
with order book in hand, talking to
the farmer or his wife, he would say.
ii = loud voice: well. l am very
much obliged to you, and am sure
that you will find our washer the fin-
est thing you ever used"
On returning to the buggy he would
tell the young man how easy It was to
procure that order, and thus they
would continue al day, taking orders
at every house, scarcely e7er nisslng
Z single one.
St. Tammany farmer., 1905-12-02

In the evening at home the young
man would have great deal to say
about how the farmers took to the
clothes FOUNDER, and what a fine
money-making business it was. The
canvasser had taken pains to explain.
that each FOUNDER sold for five dollars,
though it cost only IS cents manufae-
tured in quantities.
Finally, the canvasser in the west
part of the county, happened one night
at supper to mention that his firm had
another agent in the east part OF the
county, who was stopping with
Indeed" said tho farmer, "that
man is my brother-in-law; his wife,
and my wife here are sisters"
The following Saturday evening each
canvasser announced to his farmer
that he was going to the county seat
to report to his employer, and would
return Monday morning.
Knowing that the brothers-in-law
met at the home of their wives parents
nearly every Sunday, the canvassers
had it figured out that they would have
chance to talk over the wonderful
success of the clothes FOUNDER men.
/ In this they were correct, and on re-
turning for business Monday morning
each observed that their respective
farmers were much interested, SO much
SO that they made inquiry as to the
price of county rights.
Each canvasser of course assumed
to. know little about that, but in an
unconcerned way, referred his ques-
toner to Mr.. -, at the - house. in
the county seat, who owned the state
of Ohio in the patent and who would
give them all necessary information.
The fact that the farmers had be-
come interested, gave the canvassers
opportunity to tell what fine money
making business it was, and to fur
ther demonstrate this point by an
nouncing that 200 of the clothes pound
ers were at the freight depot. As
each canvasser had about 100 Or1ers
to fill, they arranged with the farm
ers to drive to town with them to get
the Founders, after which the farm
er's son and the neighbor's boy drove
the teams while they made the deliv-
cries. At each house the young man
was instructed to remain in the wagon
while the delivery was made. The
CRATER, after delivering FOUNDER,
would mark cross in his book next to
the name Of the party receiving it, and
! in leaving would say in a voice, audi
St. Tammany farmer., 1905-12-02

BILE to the boy in the wagon: ri hope
you will be pleased with our cleanser.
| Good-by.''
After starting on again he would
take five-dollar bill from one of mis-
vest pockets and would lay it. away
with other bills in his trousers pock-
ct saying: Easy money, easy money"
At the end of each days delivery
they would return to the farmers
homes for more Founders, and in the
evening the cash was counted on the
table, in the presence of the family,
even the agents themselves becoming
very enthusiastic.
They talked almost necessarily OF the
fortune they could make if they only
owned the state of Michigan in the
patent, and said to the farmers: "If
you can buy this territory, or any ter
ritory in the invention, you can make
more money in one year than in ten
years at farming. Then came the sug-
gestion that If the farmer would buy
it he, the agent, would like to work
for him, on commission, as he didn't
like his present employer, personally,
although he was a straight forward.
honorable man.
BY the time each agent had deliv-
cred his 100 Founders and had laid
out on the farmers table $500 in 500
piles, the two brothers-in-law were
ripe for a trade. They we're anxious
to go into partnership and secure the
patent rights for the whole state.
So it was arranged that they should
meet the main CRATER at the hotel In
no time he bargained with them to
let them have the entire state tor
$4,000, having figured it out to their
entire satisfaction, how they could
have their money all back, and more
inside of year, If they would only
adopt plans which he laid out to
push it.
He would take their farms, at 800
per acre, to close the deal; the one
who owned the farm of 12O acres could
pay his half with his farm, whereas :ae
one who owned but 100 acres would
be Obliged to raise $1,000, for wh:cn
he proposed to give his individual
note. This the old CRATER coolly re-
fused. Determined to make the deal.
however, the farmer arranged for the
cash, through his wife's father, who
mortgaged his farm.
These farmers, proud Of their pur-
chase. and apparently under the inn
preston that all their neighbors and
friends envied them their good luck,
Immediately advertised public a,ic-
ton Of oil their farm implements,
stock, ste, and announced that they
