SKIN GAME OF
The RAREST TYPE
Here's a Sample Of the Latest
Swindle That is Worked
In the Countryside.

Farmers have been offered a new
skin game, which is worked as fol-
lows:
a resident If a certain township
recently observed a big touring car
stop in front Of his home. A man got
out and began looking for something
along the road. The farmers curios-
ity was aroused and he sauntered
down to the spot.
The man informed him that lie had
just dropped a valuable diamond pin.
After looking for some time the tour
ist asked the farmer if he would con-
tinue The search. He gave name
and address in indianapolis, and said
If he found the diamond he would pay
him a hundred dollars.
The next day a tramp appeared at
the farmers house and asked for some
thing to eat. He sat on the doorstep
and ate his food. Finally he showed
brilliant scarf pin which he said he
found in the road. The farmer offer
ed him $50 for it and the offer was
accepted.
The man at indianapolis was mott
fled Of the find, and he was asked to
send the 800 by return mail, upon
receipt Of which the jewel would be
sent to him. But the city man fail
ed 10 reply. 4 competent .jeweler says
the stone found by the tramp is worth
possibly 30 cents.

my young lady. However. hurried
away and reached her house about
an hour and a half late. was just
about to ring the bell when / heard
her voice through the open window
threatening me with all sorts OF
pains and penalties for daring to
miss the appointment-this mark you
before she had heard a word of expla-
nation from me; and because her mo-
Their ventured to demonstrate with
her, she turned round on the dear old
lady and told her she did not know
what she was talking about That was
good enough for me. and l cleared

There is not the least doubt. too.
that many girls are Tilted for the
simple reason that they get an exag-
gerated notion of what may be term
ed courtship rights and privileges.
There is a type of girl who. the mo-
ment she consents TO become a
mans wife, thinks that consent en-
titles her to an entire subservience 10
her wishes on the part of the man.
She expects him 10 be at her beck
and call at all times. 10 sacrifice his
pleasure for her own, and to cater
for her amusement in every possible
way. II he fails in any one of these
respects, she proceeds TO take him to
task, and the result is that the man
decides that she is not the girl for
him.
IL viii often be found. too. that
parents are mixed up in breach
of-promise cases rather prominently.
A man naturally resents being told
that he should not do this and that
by the parents Of his prospective
bride. AS one magistrate remarked a
short time ago while listening to a
breach-Of-promise case in which il wa
shown that one of the reasons of the
broken engagement was the Dictator
ial attitude on the part of the girls
parents. What a lot of trouble and
bother would be saved If there were
not 50 many foolish busyDodies in the
world."-London Tit-Bits.

Who STRUCK
BILLY" PATTERSON.
He Received the Blow Alright but
The Boys won't Tell.

who struck Billy Patterson" is
mystery that has gone into hist
DRY. 1t is asked frequently by persons
who have no idea who BILLY" Pat
terson was. for it has become a stock
expression signifying a mystery.
But now comes T. NJ Lake. form
erly of Fa2uier county. Va. and now
retired merchant OF this city, who
says he knows all about the striking
Of Patterson. Mr.. Lake was a young
friend Of the man who struck the blow.
Billy" Patterson, according 10 Mr..
Lake. was the bully OF Richmond, Va.
almost seventy five years ago. He was
a big man who loved fighting almost
as we'll as he did whisky and PREFER
ed the two together.
The day that Patterson was struck
the blow which thrust his name into
immortality he had oftained the liq-
uor, but was finding it difficult 10
TO get a fight. He had taken up a
position in the center Of a much tray-
eled sidewalk and was making all
passers take 10 the street. He was
particularly insulting TO a crowd Of
medical students who passed BY on
their way 10 a nearby Students
hotel.
Among the students was Albin
Payne, a young man from Faquier CO.
unity, a relative of Admiral Raphael
Semmes and a man of fighting blood.
When the studnets submitted 20 the
indignities Offered by Patterson his
fighting blood was aroused.
Let me at the bovine" he said as
he walked up 10 him. Patterson was
too mucch surprised TO defend himself
for only one blow was struck and
Billy" Patterson went down with a
thug. II was thought at first that
Patterson was killed, and the stud
ents fled 20 their hotel, where a hasty
conference was held, and they vowed
not 10 tell who struck the blow.
Hardly had Payne been taken out
side way 10 another students lOdg-
ing house when the police arrived de-
handing the man who struck Billy
Patterson All the students were
questioned, but each denied that he
had struck Patterson. Though u
soon became apparent that Patter-
son was not dangerously injured. the
students kept their VOW, Payne pre-
ferring 20 avoid notoriety. Payne
afterward became known as a physic-
ian in Virginia and attained some
note as a magazine writer under the
nom be plume Of Nicholas Spicer."-
