CHELL GAME WORKER
- GAVE BACK MONEY,
Bot Society Folk He Entertained
Found Twas Phony Cash
They Got.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-At a recent lawn
fete given here in aid Of the San Francisco
sufferers by persons Of high social degree
a young clubman Of Washington took in a
lot Of morey at his station on the midway
by his clever demonstration of the she'll
game. This may have been the first time
the shell game was ever manipulated for the
benefit Of charity, but 1t may be recalled
that at a midway and theatrical fete given
at Newport by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
In 1902 a regular shell game operator was one
Of the features. This pea and shell man
was engaged to work for a stipulated sum
at the Vanderbilt fAte, and he returned all
his winnings from the guests.
A Secret Service man here say that the
shell game was worked at a swagger society
entertainment in Chicago as long ago as the
worlds fair year there, and the outcome
OF the Chicago experiment was peculiar.
THAT Chicago shell game was one Of
the many move features Of a midway
entertainment given by a Chicago woman
Of social distinction on the grounds Of her
beautiful Chicago home" said the Secret
Service man. "In addition to engaging
as many of the regular midway people
from the White City as she could get. this
Chicago woman commissioned a Chicago
headquarters detective to seoure the SER
vices Of n first rate shell worker.
aThe detective got hold Of Hank Tobin,
a star among the followers Of the county
fairs of the Middle West and a a who'd
handled the shells most of his life.
You've got to be ON the level, under
stand2' the detective deliberately explained
to Hank. NO phony kinks. All you've
got to do Is to show EN- how the gratis
worked, and then slip them their coin back.
Understand? There's u couple of hundred

Sure replied Hank. j wouldn't swing
them dudes and dolls for their gumdrop
change for anything. how could there lie
anything phony in the job when I'm to hand
them their duff back as soon IA they don't
pick out the pea?' and the matter was ar
ranged.
aThe Chicago woman's midway show
was a hot success, and the most enter
tanning feature of it was the stunt Of Hank

crowded from the hour the thing began TIL
the windup. Hank went through the per-
Torrance exactly as If he'd been working IT
on the outside Of a county fair plant, and he
pretended to he as nervous and ratty over
the probable swoop Of the rube constables
as If he was really out for blood.
"But when the amused men and
in their swell clothes failed-as, Of course,
they nearly always did-to point out the
right shell, Hank CALAMITY handed them
back the pieces Of paper currency that they'd
passed over to him in making their bets
just for fun
Hank was voted all kinds Of an amusing
cuss, and the hostess was congratulated
upon having thought out 30 amusing q
feature.
But when, on the following day. and for
several days after that, counterfeit bills Of
several different denominations began to
appear all over Chicago, and when it be-
came certain that the phony money was
being passed by fashionable men and
women of the town, the enthusiasm over
the amusing stunt of the shell man oo2ed
out.
"The Secret Service got after Hank Tobin,
but not n thin g could be done to him. Hank
didn't loave Chicago, nor did he mako the
slightest effort to keep under cover. OF
course, he mildly denied that while working
his shell game at the fete he had handed
phony money back to the players instead Of
the good currency that they'd handed to
him, but that's what the shell man had
done, all right, 1t couldn't be proved, how
ever, none of the phony money being found
in Hanks possession or with any of his be-
lonGings when Hank was grabbed. and 80
he had to be turned loose, The shell man
wasn't n regular shower Of the queer, at
that, but he'd been unable to resist SO fine
a chance, and he'd got away with about
$1,000 at the lawn fdte by the simple process
of exchanging the bad papers for the good

The Room of a Rich Man Who
Faneies Still a Chair That
He Can Tilt Back.

sYou know" said a big, plain man, who
has made his everlasting fortune and can
afford to buy anything on earth, but who
still has a hankering for simple, solid
things, when we built our new house here
In the city I made q stipulation with the
women folks that I should have a room
in it fitted up to suit me.
Il didn't want any Daghestan rugs, or
Louis XIV, or Adonijah XIV. or any other
numbered furniture. 1 wanted a plao.
where I could scuT my feet on the floor
II l wanted to and sit down without fear
OF MASKING the chair or soraping of the
Va rnish, or breaking something II I turned
around sudden. They didn't like that
much, but they are good to me. ard I've
got the sort OF a room l want, or some
thing somewhere near It.
sOld fashioned ingram carpet on the
floor, chocolate colored. with big white
figures s~trolling around on 1t, looking
natural as life. And I've got a solid old
fashioned rocking chair with a deep seat
and a high, bulged out, spindled back,
that / can lear my head back in and go to
sleep In as easy as / could in the old rock
ing chair in the sitting room at home.
Il miss the old wa lis and the low ceiling.
This room I've got is a little high between
Joints to suit me, but when l shut my eyes
and forget it I can go 20 sleep in that old
rocking chair just the same.
The folks did want to put in a brass
bedstead, but ! stuck for a wooden one
and got it, but | did let EN- put on a modern
spring aud n good Mattress and I'm bound
to say that they do beat the old fashioned
corded bedstead and straw and feather
beds; and / can't see those modern things
when the bed is made up,
And I've got a solid hickory armchair
that | can lean back in without 30 much
as a creak; no give in II anywhere. I'm not
afraid it's going down under me and stick
ing me full of chair rungs and splintered
legs. | can tilt that chair back anywhere
and put my feet on the rungs Il | want to
without fear that i am going to scrape
of any gliding and without fear Of hurt
ing any Daghestan rugs II / dig holes in

Il take a heap Of comfort In that old
hickory chair. ! can tip back in it and put
