PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
Contractor Saved Mis- Nickel, but Was
Out Something on the Trans
action.

How to say a nickel and lose a
thousand dollars Is a lesson learned
by a Bronx contractor. He was at
the Fordham station of the Third ave-
nue. elevated and he wanted to go to
West Farms, at the end OF the Lenox
subway, to submit a bid or a contract.
The ordinary way to make such a trip
would be to pay two car fares, but
this careful contractor saw a way to
complete the journey for a single
fare, but he says be will never do it
again.
He bought an elevated ticket and
rode down town to Third avenue and
One Hundred and ~Forty-ninth street,
where he got a transfer to the down.
town subway train. He intended to
ride down to the next station, Mott
avenue, get off there and cross to the
uptown side and ride back to his des-
tination, thus saving five cents. I'm
fortunately that day there was an ac-
cident in the subway, the trains were
blocked for nearly al hour and
was in a train that vas stalled half
way between two stations. When ne
finally did arrive at the office he found
all the bids had been opened and the
contract awarded. His bid, however,
was lower than the one accepted, yet
it was for a sum sufficiently large to
have shown him a cool profit OF
81, 900.
Then he went out and spent about
$40 in drinks to drown his SORROW

HIDE THEIR IDENTITY
6enders Of Wireless Messages Read.
lily Recognized by Man at
tho Other End.

Amateur wireless operators who
break in on regular calls by CONNER
cial companies and then sign with a
fictitious name may find themselves
quickly identified, according to wire
less operators in Chicago. The reason
Is that the hand of an operator is
rs quickly recognized in wireless work
as In ordinary telegraphy.
Photographers always recognize the
hand" Of a man who transmits mes
sages and some out-of-town men have
regulations for beautiful sending"
among Chicago operators. Wireless
men say that the mere fact that wires
have been oblitedated In their business
makes no difference to the nan at the
receiving end. He can tell at once
who is sending the message If he has
heard from the same man before.
"Only the other day I received a
message from a station on the lake
which came from a familiar hand"
said a wireless operator. II identified
1t at once as that of a friend 1 had
known years before. but could not
break in at that time without inter.
rupting the message. AS soo as he
completed his work, however, I sent
him a personal call. 1t turned out that
he was the man Of my acquaintance.
"Some of these amateurs who think
they can fool the wireless will find
themselves in a peck of trouble some
day for interfering with messages. 1t
is easy to become acquainted with
their hand if they practice at all reg.
ularly. II they play any jokes on an
operator and sign fictitious names they
may find out after all that they can.
not disguise themselves. Their own
way of sending. which differs for ev.
cry individual, betrays them"

SHREWD IDEA OF DIPLOMAT
Who're Russian Officer Of Embassy
Proved More Than a Match
for Abdul Hamid.

Diploma tists abroad tell how a dis.
corps d~iplomatique cleverly outwitted
Abdul Hamid, the late Sultan Of Tur-
key. The Russian displayed a curious
ingenuity in introducing the business
OF his country in the guise of personal
pleasure.
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant al audience to
any member of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period In question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part Of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement whereof he
was passionately fond.
The Russian heard that his imperial
majesty stood in need Of fresh birds
to supply the place Of those killed in
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured a f1ne-looking white fowl of
the barnyard species, caused 1t to be
trimmed and spurred to resemble a
gamecock, and sent 1t in a richly deco
rated cage to the Sultan.
The use was successful, but the
Sultan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sem for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, II he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight. The
Russian went, examined the bird In
the presence of Abdul Hamid, and
with great establishment and regret
acknowledged that 1t vas quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecocks,
which were undoubtedly Of a superior
breed.
A conference followed on the subject
of gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscovite sue.
ceeded in drawing the Sultan in a
mood for conversation Of a different
character, and in time adroitly intro
duced the political matter he had so
long awaited an opportunity to discuss,
After a long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant owe his col
leagues.-Harper's Weekly.

unmolested.

QUINCY. ILL.,, Oct. Alt was conclu-

over the remains of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Pfanschmidt, their daughter and Miss
Emma Kaempen, which was begun this
morning. that the two girls were MUIR
dered before their bodies were burned
and that there was every reason to be-
lieve that the other two also met with
foul play before their bodies were so
consumed by the fire as to make the
nature Of their death uncertain. The
head Of Miss Kaempen, which was
partly protected from the flames, revealed
clean-cut cash In the left forehead,
made apparently by an axe. Her upper
jaw had also been broken and the front
teeth knocked out, as though from a
blow with blunt instrument.
