Such a cape. lined with American

colored woman gave swindlers $1O0
that she had drawn from bank.
Merchants Are victimized.

A number of merchants have been VIC
timized by a colored man telephoning
orders for goods and change to be sent
to house number given by him. Swim
dlers Of this type, asking that delivery
be made to dwelling or apartment
house, are on hand at the door to ex-
change a check for goods and change.
They usually represent that the goods
are for some prominent person. When
the porters surrender the delivery the
swindler disappears.
A porter sent to the Balfour apartment
house yesterday with three quarts OF
whisky and one quart of gin was met by
a colored man and given a check.
'Til take the bottles and change" said
the swindler, anticipating a wet" Sun
day with money in his pocket.
Il guess not" said the porter, retain
ing the check.
There was no policeman in sight. The
man who offered the check was glad to
disappear.
Several weeks ago the police notified a
number OF merchants to be on the alert
for these swidlers One who received this
warning was afterward swindled.

the largest poultry shows she carried

Wants to Serve Her Race.
Miss Pitchlynn's idea for years has
been to do something tangible for her
race. The Choctaws of OKLAHOMA have
fine lands and many are rich from their
oil wells, but few have learned to get
ahead in business by their own in
dustry. Her plan is to take her fine
brood west and with them as a be-
ginning to start a school in some small
town near Ardmore. She will make
her home in the village and have q
large poultry plant nearby at which
she can give lessons in practical dem
onstration. When the youths of the
nation take to poultry raising in that
land of fine grain and cheap food IL
is assured they will have business
which will bring them in as much
money as their oil wells and at the
same time aid greatly to lessen the high
cost of living.
