Peyser said he would get the photo

First he went to see the printer on
the pretext of wanting to do some
business with him, taking care not to
arouse his suspicious. Then. when he
had secured his confidence, he went
to a nearby photographer.

told the photographer. whose picture

be photographed, either. What want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty

noon with my friend and when you see
us you can level the camera and take

This agreed upon, Peyser went to
see the printer, with whom he had al

printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand. the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street. Then he rested his camera on
the wheel of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.

"who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have

1t was in the good old days of the
early nineties when horse racing -four
ished under kindlier law in New
York than 1t does today that Tom
Bagan had the distinction of being off,
sial stationer and printer to the book
makers and poolrooms of the city. He
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He It was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races in the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets, which
were filled in at the time of the bet
ting. served as record of the transac-
ton. and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on presenta-
ton of the ticket.
Toms business with the poolrooms
and bookmakers had thriven and 1t
seemed that the neat little profit from
printing the tickets would continue so
long as Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr.. Eagan got
word that there were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to duplicate Eagan's
tickets, and every once in a while win
nings went to a holder OF the sake
ticket instead OF to the real winner
So between Mr.. Eagan and the pool
room operators new system had to
be devised. Thereafter tickets were
printed in several colors. according to
the number OF the ticket. That is, all
tickets numbering between one and a
hundred should be pink. all between

THAT the schools can work to ad-

teacher associations has been thor

smaller cities. Such clubs are often
instrumental in the introduction of
kindergartens, manual training, and

of one school utilized the women's
clubs of the city by asking that each
club give some consideration to the
question: What can be done to i'm

Each club discussed the question and

roads that should connect the two

Mr.. Jones said the construction of
such road would make productive

more than waste country. He de-
clared there were many people IN
parts of the state he visited who have
never seen a good road, and would
hardly know what to do with one If
they did. He witnessed the spectacle
of a farmer raising fruit and packing
it to market on the backs of jacks
