Real Estate Man and Astrologer Work
Combine on Credulous
Persons.

An enterprising real estate man interested
in exploiting Texas lands Is credited with
doing a thriving business up in Loup county
with the assistance of a horoscope reader.
The astrologer has a dignified and COM
handing presence, and he and the real
estate man will stop at some town, but az
different hotels, and are apparent strangers
to each other.
Mr.. Real Estate Man advertises the ad-
vantages of Texas. He finally suggests
to a receptive customer that just for tho
fun of the thing they go over and have
their horoscope read by the astrOloger.
OF course neither gives the result OF his
respective horoscope H~readings away, blu
the next day the receptive citizen closes a
deal with the Texas real estate man for
several hundred dollars worth Of Texas
land.
The astrologer has told him, You are
about to invest In some Texas property and
should close the deal at once, as it will be
the making Of your fortdne."
No enterprising citizen Is going to let a
tip of that kin get away from him and
so he invests, while the smooth real estate
man and astrologer slip off 10 some other
town and work the same job off on Other
easy citizens.

Since Sixteenth street between Farnam
and Douglas streets has been undergoing
repairs street cars have been stopping for
passengers only on the south side Of Far
nam. Because of this several people who
wished to go north ave been fooled.
During the rain Monday a bright looking
young mar in company with an older man
walked briskly over the improvised cross
ing on the north side Of Sixteenth just as
q car was approaching from the south.
The two men were in conversation and
the elder was seeing his companion to
the car.
WELL" began the young fellow, TN be

car will get me home in time to get supper
and then I'll hurry back"

walt for you at the Henshaw."
By that time the car was crossing Six
teenth street. 1t came on to the two men.
The younger one turned to say q final
word.

Just then he glanced around to see that
the car had not stopped, but was half way
down the block. He stepped off the cross
ing as II to run after It; then changed his
mind.
1T must nave been filled up" he said.
"Guess that's right. Well, you can wait
for the next, There It ia. only a block
down."
So the two waited and again the car
passed them up.
Gee, there's something wrong here" de-
claped the older man"
At that moment a newsboy, who had
watched the performance from under an
awning at the Paxton building ran out to
the two wondering individuals.
"'You fellows will have to get over on
the other side of. the street to get a car
was the Information he rendered. They
don't stop here any more. See that sign"
