= Suspicion, once planted In the human
breast, Is quick and fourishing of
growth. The couDtryman, proverblal
bait for the wicked, Is more often taken
In by the innocent things than by con-
fidence men and thieves. OF such
type was the old farmers wife whose
story Is told In the Minneapolis Jour
nal. The ways Of the city were a mys-
tery to the good lady, and she resolved
10 be armed for every emergency.
The farmer and his wife were set
ting off for an event in their lives, a
visit TO st. Paul. They had been eau
toned repeatedly by their friends to
beware Of sharpers They replied that
they would keep their eyes open, and
started with a nervous determination

500 per cent on every article he buys,
but the students need the money, so
they let it go.
But it is in the money-lending busl-
ness that Wells has acquired the great
est celebrity. Almost any fraternity
man in Ithaca with whom he has done
business in clothes, or any well-to-do
student who can get an introduction to
him, can make a touch" when he Is
hard up, and thousands Of dollars are
loaned out every year. Money to go
home on, to bet on football, baseball
and track games and crew races, to
pay bills that are about to be sued on,
to play poker within fact, money for
everything can be obtained from Wells.
In small sums or large, 1t makes little
difference. Sometimes the men leave
town without paying up; there have
been cases Of loans as high as $500
standing out for years, but in the end
they are collected. Either the borrow
ers themselves pay or their parents pay
for them, as Pinochle keeps close watch
and knows the addresses of all his
clients. He Is the best pinochle player
in ithaca.

lation. For some minutes the balloons
appeared to hold the positions attained
at the start, and then the red and
green noticeably gained on the red and
white. The two by this time were far
ahead Of the others, and 1t was evil
dent to all that one of the two balloons
In the lead would win the race, and the
betting became wildly enthusiastic.
Farther and farther up into space they
arose. Now they would appear to be
going Inland, and again as they entered
higher current Of air they would ap-
pear to be going seaward at fright
full pace, and one would hear a groan
Of dismay from the spectators Soon
the two became mere specks In the sky,
and 1t was no longer possible to learn
which was in the lead. The anxious
spectators learned the result of the race
by telegraph two hours later, the red
and white having Travelled the greatest
distance by far in the specified time.
There was not hitch or accident In
the race. In spite Of the danger which
Is certainly always present with such
sport, balloon racing Is rapidly growing
in popularity.

II you ever have the opportunity to
witness a balloon race, do so by all
means, says Willlamsport (Pa.) Grit.
A horse or automobile race is not in the
same class, and even the human race Is
quite tame along side of 1t. The excite
ment Is not confined to the competitors.
The spectators share It, and they feel
as the balloonist does that 1t Is race
against time and space, with death as
competitor with a possible chance of
winning. The balloon racer is unques-
tionably above other racing men. He
goes over course in which ordinarily
no obstacles can be placed, and he usu-
ally has the track to himself.
Above Is picture of recent balloon
race showing the balloons ready to
start There are about dozen Of them,
and each one Is tugging at the ropes
which hold 1t captive. One almost fan
cies the great canvas spheres are ami
mate beings and are eager to be off at
, the crack Of the pistol, like a trained
track horse. The spectators are stand
ing about, sizing up the racers and the
men who will race them. The balloons
are really the racers Of the aerial track,
and the daring balloonists are the jock
cys who will guide them over the course.
When all was in readiness, at CIV
en- signal the balloons were simultane-
ously released, and shot up into the air
with loud swish. A mighty shout
arose from the assembled spectators.
For few moments the racers seemed
to be about neck and neck in the race
and then the racer floating the red
and white colors forged bit ahead. A
shout Of frenzied delight arose from
its partisans. Evidently the applause
reached the ears Of the man guiding
it, for the balloon shot ahead anothe,

MYSTERY OF
CENTURY .,
OLD "PINOCHLE."

Odd Character Who Is Getting Rich
on, Needs of Cornell Students.
With the close of the school year at
Cornell University, Aaron Wells, more
widely known at "Plnochle," reaps q
golden harvest. Stnudents who are
hard up go to him at this time and
borrow money, sometimes on notes and
frequently ION honor" only, but they
one and all have to pay old Pinochle
fat interest.
Wells began business there ten years
ago practically without dollar. Too
poor to pay rent, he stood on the street
offering to buy secondhand wearing
apparel Of any kind. Now he has
pretentious clothing store and it is as
much Of a landmark as the Dutch
Kitchen or the Office of the registrar of
the university. Five men are now en-
ployed by the Industrious clothier, who
makes a small fortune In this business
alone.
His agents still hang around on the
corners, but Pinochle only goes up the
hill when telephoned for. Every once
in while swell fraternity men will
summon him up to the house and there
Is grand clearance sale. Suits that
have only been worn for one season,
dress clothes that are bit too small,
overcoats Of the most fashionable
styles all are thrown toward the little
clothing man with the query, "What
am 1 bld?' Sometimes the clothes are
fairly worn out; more often the owner
Is pretty hard up, and in both cases
they are sold for a ridlculously low
price.
A suit that cost $40 will go to Pin
ochle for 81, and dress coats and over.
coats bring from $5 to $40. Sometimes
the student will kick, but the best he
can get out of the imperturbable dealer
is: well, I'll match you. Five dol
lars or nothing" And even at this
game he usually wins. He makes about
