The Tragedies of Paris.

From 900 to 1 500 bodies are re-
ccived I'm the morguc in Paris every
year. These represent suicides and
murders. and not the deaths that
occur in the ordinary course Of
events. And of these self-slaughters
nearly half are drownings. which
means thar every day at least two per
sons jump into the Seine; TWO poor
wretches who have failed to iind life
worth living.
In the months of October'and No
ember suicides by drowning in Paris
are double what they are the re-
malnder of the year. The prospect
ck having to suffer the haVships of
another winter, begging about ir the
cold and sleeping out in the snow is
too much for many fate-cursed
wanderer.
An interesting fact revealed by the
uicide statistics of Paris is that wO-
sen show a decided dislike to Il own
ing as a means OF violent death -Four

Graft Worked by Ticket Sellers

would be at least eight attempts to
hand him change for 81 bill. The
only safe way is to leave the change
on the counter until you count 1t. If
YOU pick 1t up and shove 1t in your
pocket that means that the ticket
seller is 81 ahead
That is what happens in scores OF
cases. Amusement goers have money
to spend and are careless; they grab
change, shove II into their pockets.
and maybe discover half an hour
later that their money is missing. 1t
is no use to go back and kick. be-
cause you never will get your money
back and cannt prove your case.
Sometimes bold ticket sellers in the
middle of a big rush will hand out
lchange for 81 when they receive IS,
but this is dangerous because the
man usually knows. II he looks
worried and anxious. as If he was
thinking of something else. there is a
chance to put over that game-espe-
cially II the IS comes of a roll of
bills.
The 10 cent graft is popular, There
Is noted ticket seller with one of the
big travelling attractions who has the
brass plate over which he shoves
change nici-ed so that a dime will
stick while the rest of the change
can be slid over It. He puts down
the correct change, the man sweeps
II 1t off with his hand the dime sticks
and the ticket seller is 10 cents ahead
He tells nae that the graft is worth
sometimes s25 to $50 day with his
show.
Short changing is an art. There is
little danger in It. for the ticket seller
always can plead a mistake IL detect
ed In the act. One ticket seller was
detected in the act no less than eight
times in an hour on the gate of a
circus In Chicago recently--not. how
ever. by the 4wners of the money.
Within recent years proprietors OF
amusement parks and the concessions
therein have tried to check the "short
changing evil and they have in many
4 instances hired women cashiers. This
result has been startling. Now most
OF them want the men back. The
girls have proved even more daring
grafters than the men. because they
are not suspected and look more in
nocent. Only few days ago a eirl
Icashier at a concession in one of the

Self Is the only thing that really

The Paducah evening sun., 1907-08-13

Selling and taking tickets "on the
gate" of any amusement enterprise is
one of the best paying jobs connected
with the show business. A ticket
seller who cannot graft $25 a dk
when he handles as much as $1,000
is a bad worker.
Selling tickets is an art In itself.
The ordinary man could not sell 250
tickets and make change to save his
life, while the professional may on
some days handle $4,000 worth of
tickets, make all change by himself
and count up without the least
trouble.
These men are the aristocrats of
the show business, adopts at handling
money and past masters of the art of
making the hand deceive the eye.
THEY do not speak of short changing
man or woman as stealing. but re-
gard 1t as legitimate graft. Most Of
these men would as soon think Of
murder as of plain theft. but they do
not regard fieecing the patrons of the
amusement as theft at all.
To understand the spirit in which
they act in looting the public. 1t is
necessary to know the men them
Iselyes. Some of them are ex-bank
clerks. hut the best have received
their training with circuses and. street
fairs. They make change so rapidly
and become so adept at handling
money that they have the change
lmade almost before the purchaser OF
a ticket knows what has happened.
They regard the amusement public as
Legitimate prey. They figure: This
Iguy has $40 to spend today having
fun. He is away from business, and
therefore careless. couldn't cheat
him out of cent in business, the
lchances are he'd cheat me He's
going to spend or lose that money
and I'll take a piece of It,"
One of these fellows met me one
day. He was wearing a handsome
diamond that was rev Hello"

| That fellow was disguised with the
degenerate young cub who was drunk
and throwing away money. and con
sidered him a legitimate sucker" 81
he robbed him and didn't even regard
himself as thief.
That is the attitude of most OF thu
grating ticket sellers. They regsrC
