BEAN CROOK WORKS
ON BERLIN'S GROCERS

Berlin, Oct. l4.--Several Berlin
grocers and produce dealers have
been swindled out of more than $50
600 by a trick of a daring crook. The
swindler called himself "Dr. Krem-
ser" He announced in the local pa
pers that he had obtained large ship
ments of beans and would sell them
below the maximum price by the gov
ernment. He received hundreds of
applications and always made sale
with the stipulation that fifty per cent
Of the price was to be deposited in a
certain bank before delivery OF the
beans.
Within a few days the doctor
sold about 500 tons OF beans to his
victims. Then he went to the bank,
drew the deposits made by the buy
ers and disappeared.
The bills-of-lading he handed over
TO the bank when he received the
money turned out to be fOrgeries. A
systematic hunt for the swindler was
1tarted az once by the police, but so
far no trace Of him has been found.

When Mother Was a Girl.

Mother finally became tired of the
way daughter was acting, and she
said to her: "You never do anything
but CAD about. When l was your
age | tried to take some of the work
off my poor mothers back. l didn't
want to spend all my time with some
silly Cycling girl like that chum of
yours" After listening to this,
daughter went to grandma and said
to her: "YOu must have had an aw-
fully easy time when mamma was
growing up. She stayed at home nj
most all the time, and helped with
the cooking, milking, washing and
other work" Then said grandma:
"She helped me with the work? I'd
like to know when she helped me.
Day and night, week in and week
out, she was running around with
some silly girl, and she never once
turned her hand to help me with
anything. l made every Stitch OF
her clothes, did all her washing and
ironed every rag she ever wore. Now,
when | was a girl l really worked.
In my time girls didn't run around
like they did in your mothers day"
