SHORT CHANGING
Tricks Which Circus Men. Pedlers and
Walters Practice Commonly.

The art of short changing is studied
by walters, ~bartenders, street takers
and various other servants of the pub
lie. The man to whom all other shOri
changers doff their headgear is the
ticket. seller in the circus box office
and mex is the man who climbs abOui
among the seated throng in the big
tent disposing Of concert tickets.
There ideal are two methods OF re.
turing part of ii. One of these is
used when the change is in silver and
is employed when bills are hand
led. -.
For instance, a two dollar noe Is
rendered in payment Of some article
costing ten. cents or a quarter. The
person making the change counts il
correctly from his left hand into his
right He takes particular pains that
his victim shall see that it is correctly
counted.
Then he dumps the handful of silver
into the hand of its wner This looks
so fair that few persons take the trou-
bic o recount the money. Here is
where they are easy. In turning he
handful Of money into the outstretched
hand the artist retains a half dollar
or quarter in his palm, which is slight
ly contracted TO secure the piece.
Perhaps a ten dollar note is tender
ed IN payment for a ticket. The nun
in the ilded-hoN first counts the
bills oyer to himself. Then he reaches
out to the waiting hands and counts
the bills Off the benefit of the buyer.
He does not place the bills entirely
in the victims hands as he counts
them. however, but grips one end OF
the, bunch in his left hand while he
counts the free ends, laying the ends
back Yer his hand as he counts. He
does this slowly and deliberately.
Then FellinG-1he bills into a wad

is so apparently honest that nine time

without counting them

find himself ST or 81 short; for one OF

4 Dangerous Combination.

. A Painful report of the poisoning OF
100 editors, members of the National
Editorial Association, was spread
broadcast throughout the country the
other day. The diabo1ica1 crime Was
charged up against the Beef Trust. II
appears that a company Of knights ST
the Scissors and Paste Pot were on
the way to Chicago there t o take break
fast upon their arrival with the Chic
ago packers. They got IS far
as Marion Ind. where they refreshed
themselves with ham and chicken saad-
Wiehes. Shortly afterWard a number of
edHors became most uneasy in their
editorial stomachs. AS the train rat

ago packing houses and was full OF
ptOmaines, whatever they may be. l.
was also assumed that this wholesale
tpOlsOnlng was: an attempt by the pack

their unfriendly remarks about the sau-
sages, aimed roast beef and other
things. And then, may be, the text Of
Scripture which tells how that which

: worm eaten. occurred to some of the
party. The sandwiches were the To-
Gust; the breakfast with the packers
was to be cankerWorm. Thereupon
when the train slowed up for the next
station, one of the editors ran hot
footed to the telegraph Office and can
celed the acceptance of the invitation
TO breakfast with the packers. 4
About this time some Of the mos
thoughtful editors began to think. It
occurred TO them that there were
some among the patients whose stom-
achS ached the worst who had eaten
no sandwiches. There were so1ne of
the party who had eaten sandwiches
i'll profusion whose stomachs did not
ache at all. 1t was. therefore, mani
fest that in ascribing- the pains to the
ptomaines someone had blundered. It
was beginning to dawn on some that
in giving up a fine breakfast in Pack
ingtown a still more serious blunder
had been committed "
L. Then the truth came out. 1t was dis
covered that each person who was in
the throes of stomaches had diluted
his whisky with a certain mineral wa
ter known as Pluto water, and that
Pluto water and whisky. like the verbs
and nouns OF some persons, do not
agree. -
What does a western editor want, wa
ter in his whisky for? Isn't whisky
good enough for him. without the ad-
dition of extraneous things? This ex-
perience will teach these editors q

 "'The famine in Japan, which has been considered for some time mod erately serious, is now known, as the result of reliable private advices re- ceiyed by the New York State Red Cross. to be one of the most terrible starvation emergencies of modern times.
 "The failure of the rice crop, which at one time was believed to be limited to certain places in the northern provinces. has been found to be gen. eral in these parts of Japan, and con- servative estimates place the number of starving Japanese at from SOo000 10 100000 persons.

A GROCER'S STORY.

A writer in the Advertising World remarks that he has always believed that there were very few businesses that could not make profitable use of printers ink. He has also believ ed that advertising, to be profitable. must be good advertising and still believes all these things. But a re- cent experience, he says, has shown that the goodness of advertising is comparative. Almost any advertis- ing is 'feood" where it is not brought into competition with better advertis ing. To prove his point he tells this story
 A certain grocer whose trade is "neighborhood" trade-that is, whose store is away from the business cent CT. and depends on the patronage of families within a radius of half a dozen sQuares-has three competitors within a block of his store None of the other fellows does any advertis- ing except in the windows Our eroc- CT (we1l call him that 10 distinguish him)-keeps himself and three assist ants in the store. and one delivery wagon and driver. One of the as sistants puts in each forenoon solicit ing orders. All the other stores send out solicitors also Our grocer was rtinded to advertise. but couldn't de- eide how to go about it. One of his customers is a printer who is also an advertising @crank.s AS a result of conversation on the subject. and per haps in sort of a bluffing spirit, the store for three months in his own way. and to increase the business 10 a given amount, or no pay The eroc- CT agreed and one advertisement was put out each week.
 At the end of the eighth week. the writer said to the delivery boy. George. are you selling lots of groc. cries now-adays?"
 George replied: Say! my good ness, We've got to pnf on another wagon. I've made three full trips over this route this afternoon Used to get it done in one trip. We always did have a good trade down there but it's been getting awful here late lv.

 Sometimes the world seems to be going forward when il is really going backward.

 All the progress which has been called progress in recent years has not tefn really progress. but rather fe'rogression. One instance has been me growing disrespect for age and ex- perlence.

LAWYERS ETHICS.

The old ethical question whether lawyer is right in taking the case of q client whom he knows to be guilty of violating the law has been debated for centuries, and by most lawyers answered in the affirmative. But this attitude has inevitably been followed by a weakening of the law yers' moral code, until too frequently the practice of their profession be- comes a mere war of wits, in which the question of right or wrong does not enter at all, and victory at any cost is the sole aim, while the great est lawyer is he who can best evade the laws enforcement.
 Never has this been more strongly felt than during this winter. in the investigation of the insurance com panies. the Standard Oil, and beef trust In the discussion of the amend ment of the rate law which allows reference to the courts, this feature has proved a bar to it's passage from the recognition of the fact that once place this point within the jurisdic tion of the courts and the delay re- sulting will end in practically defeat ing the intention of the framers of the bill.
 The country would not today see our very rich men defying the law. refusing to be served with subpoenas. or answer questions submitted by the court. had not they been shown how far they may go by the lawyers who avail themselves of technicalities 10 eyade the law.
 No country has had a more elori- GUS inheritance of precedent and principle than that afforded by our constitutional and common laws. but the practices Of the able counsel of corporations and laW breaking mil lionaires are rapidly Nweakenine the respect of all classes for the courts and law. This increases the tendency towards social unrest. and anarchy which must arise when the poor man feels that justice is no 1oncer for the rich and poor alike.
