A Story of Joe ManIey,

Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States supreme court was on a visit to
Maine some years ago and while there
was entertained by Joe Manley. Mr..
Manley was held in great reverence by
his fellow citizens all over Maine and
especially in Augusta, his home. He
took Mr.. Fuller for a drive about the
place, but was forced by a pressing
business engagement to leave his guest
before the drive was finished. When
Mr.. Manley had disappeared the driver
turned to the judge, whom he did not
know, and, drawing out a cigar, said:
81 suppose you don't mind if l smoke.
When we are driving Mr.. Manley we
never light up, because he's rather a
distinguished citizen" Fuller repress-
ed a laugh and told the driver to go
ahead. which he did. Later the chief
justice retailcd the joke to Mr.. Manley,
who at the first opportunity told the
driver a few things, winding up, "You
miserable three ply idiot, that was the
chief justice of the United States"

Grand Central Pete was a noted
bunko steerer of the old days, but he
could neither read nor write. Once
he fell upon hard times, aud he and a
younger but equally luckless conf
dence man undertook to beat their
way on a freight train to Washington
"A brakeman kicked them of at Tren'
ton.
1t was getting late, and neither OF
them had Il cent. Across the tracks
from where they had landed was a
good looking hotel. and right next
door was an express Office. Grand
Central Pete had an idea. He went
into the express Office. borrowed one
Of the large manila envelopes such as
are used for transporting currency,
filled the envelope with pieces of
newspaper cut to the size Of bank
notes and sealed it carefully.
"Now. them" he said to his partner,
"you take your fountain pen and write
on the back Of that envelope $4,000.
Then We'll 60 over to that hotel and
explain that we've lost our baggage.
and I'll hand this envelope to the
clerk and ask him to lock it in the
safe. He'll look at the figures on the
back. and he'll take us for moneyed
guys and give us rooms and grub I'M
til we can raise a stake"
The scheme sounded good to the
younger mar He got out his pen and
obeyed orders. Grand Central Pete
took the envelope back in his hands
and examined it carefully.
"Does that say $4,000" he demand
ed.
"Yep," said his partner.
WELL, it don't look big enough to
me-" said Pete. you'd better add on
some more of them naughts."
The younger con man protested, but
Pete would have his way and kept
after him until the educated one had
tackled on three more naughts, making
the grand total S9.O 900.
Then Pete marched grandly over to
the hotel. registered for himself and
his friend. passed the stuffed envelope
across the desk to the clerk and called
for the bridal suit.
The clerk took one look at the en-
velope. another look at the soiled faces
and shabby apparel of the newcomers
and rang the bell for the house
bouncer. A minute later the discom-
flied pair were sitting on the side
walk.
Grand Central Pete raised himself
painfully and eyed his companion with
a %scornful, angry glance.
