ropIess Potatoes Fool BUGS.

Lewistown, Pa.-Parks Murtiff, pro.
prietor of the st. Charles hotel, owns
farm in the vicinity Of Burnham
park, and his farmer called him over
and informed him that he was grow

An investigation proved that two

read an advertisement in a newspaper
offering the ticket for sale?
Customer-Yes, l did. But I'm not
fool enough to believe that pawn,
broker would lend $3.50 on a ring that
is worth only $3.50. Why, everybody
knows that pawnbrokers, as a rule,
lend only one-third the value on any
article, no matter what it is.
Entirely wrong, my friend
A pawnbroker might not lend you
quite the actual value of your iewelry.
but he win lend himself a great deal
more than the article is worth, and
then give the ticket to a friend to adj
vertise for sale. DO you catch the
drift of what I mean?
The pawn-ticket bargain hunter be-
gins to see a great light, but he is not
satisfied until he has paid at least
three jewellers one dollar each to tel
him that he has been robbed
The crooked pawnbroker simply
takes a ring out of stock, puts it up in
a package and pins on it a ticket with
a fake name, indicating that on a
certain day the ring has been pledged
for $3.50.
The Duplicate ticket is turned over
to the confederate, who then inserts
an advertisement in an evening news
paper which reads as follows:
Owing to financial embarrassment /
am compelled to dispose Of a pawn
ticket for beautiful diamond ring
pledged for $3.50; worth $3.50; only
one months interest due. viii sell
cheap. Address Needy, 176, this Of
fee"
The sucker may have had some eX-
perience with pawnbrokers, and he
knows well enough they are too shrewt
to lend $3.50 on a ring unless it is
worth considerably more than thal
amount. He makes an appointment
with Needy" and takes a look at the
ticket. The holder wants $25 for the
ticket, but finally comes down to $40.
In fact, he will take almost anything
he can get.
Very well. You pay $40 for the ticket
and go at once to redeem the pledge.
The interest on $3.50 at two per cent.
for one month is three dollars, making
the ring cost you in all S106. Any
ieweler will tell you it is worth only
800.
