JUVENILE HIGH FINANCE.

Give Him Half Chance and This Chap
Will Own the World.
A pupil in one Of the well known
boys schools, being short of pocket
money, conceived means of replen-
lshing his funds by the following plan:
He wrote to jewelry house in New
York. where he had an established
credit, asking that silver cigarette
case selling at $25 be sent to him on
approval. Upon its receipt he arranged
lottery among his chums at the
school and offered for sale 100 chances
at 20 cents each. He sold all the
chances for total Of $25.
The boy who held the successful
number that won the silver case hap
pened to be one who did not use Gig
arettes, and therefore the manager of
the affair offered to buy the case for
So. The winner accepted the offer, as
he thereby made profit of $4.75 cash
instead Of having an article Of no use
to him, whereas the promoter of the
deal had $50 left.
The promoter now returned the Gig
arctic case to the jeweler and asked
that 1t be credited to his account. This
being frequent occurrence, nothing
was thought of the return of the ar
ticle.
By this scheme the pockets Of the
young promoter were replenlshed by
$40, the other boys had enjoyed their
little game of chance and were per-
fectly satisfied with the operation, and
the business house was likewise salts
fed. Yet some people who have heard
of the transaction are asking, "Is the
young fnancier open to any criticism
for his methodsT T--New York Sun.

WORTHLESS LOTTERIES ARE
UNDER BAN OF POLICE HEAD

Paris, Jan. IA custom almost cen
turies old was smashed to smithereens
by Perfect of Police Honnion who
came down with heavy fist upon the
multitude of lotteries which flourish
along the boulevards of Paris from
Christmas Day until New Years. His
ban is absolute and CONSERVATION is in
the hearts Of wheel spinners. The bet
ter class of Parisians hail the Perfect g
edict with joy,
On Christmas Eve ever since before
the Oldest Inhabitant can remember,
booths of the knock-down or street fair
sort, sprung up like magic along the
entire length Of the great central bou-
levards and avenues Of Poris. There
are thousands of them, lining both
sides Of the streets In some candy is
sold; others cards are printed while
you wait; still others sell other things,
principally mechanical toys and Christ
mas novelties for children. But al
most every other booth has its
'wheel" and barkers keep up a perpet-
ual yelp inviting passersby to step up
and win the grand prize. For years
these gambling devices have increased
until during Christmas Week the
boulevards formed a huge Monte Carlo
where one bets a two-cent piece, in
stead of a louis, and wins--if one hap
pens to be lucky-more or less worth
less gold The wheels are of every
earthly variety but the principle is
the same: Get the money and keep the
prizes.
NJ. Honnion declares workingmen
used to spend a week S pay in the vain
hope of winning a five cent stick of
candy. He suffers and the legitimate
toymakers and vendors suffer, so the
Perfect simply stopped the show.

agine lion captured with fly paper?
Well, not so very long ago four huge
man eating lions were taken in that
manner at the village Of Gwalior, in
India
1t happened that the headman of
the village was able to shut the foul
lions up in a hut into which they had
ventured in search Of prey. He kept
them thus barricaded for nearly two
weeks, no one being willing to attempt
to capture them, Finally he thought
Of scheme that proved as successful
as 1t was original.
He had thousands Of sheets Of fly
paper spread on the ground before the
entrance to the hut. Then suddenly
the barrlcades were lifted and the four
lions came bounding out-into the fly
paper OF course it stuck to their
paws, and of course when they tried
to lick 1t off it stuck fast to their
faces and heads The lions promptly
forgot all about human beings and in
their wild endeavors to get rid of the
fly paper rolled over and over on the
ground, roaring and fighting for
breath
Then the headman and his follow
ers rushed forward with long ropes
lassoed the plunging lions and tied
them up-ny paper and all!-LondoI
