clever schemes frequently attracting
intelligent persons whose credulity it
amazing.
Not long ago bunch of postal
,Iooks We're on trial in Kansas City,
charged with operating fake mining
companies. They had ten or twelve
different companies going at one time
One of the Witnesses was Virginia
farmer who thought he was pretty
smart.
Yes" he said to an inspector, this
company is fake all right. admit
was stung on its stock, but I've got
right here certificates of stock in 9th
IT companies that l know are all righ..
Their stock is increasing in value
right along"
The credulcus Nirsinian was asked
20 display his wares. He did so. He
was Mortified VIXEN informed that the
men on trial were promoting all the
companies in which he was stock
holder, that all We're fakes and existed
on paper only.
A favorite scheme of ;he fake stock
concerns is to start the sale of their
stock at 10 cents share. After time
when the suckers begin to bite well,
Ihe price is boosted to Is cents.
This convinces them that there is
something in the company, and they
buy more. The stock keeps rising 30
perhaps 50 cents, when an announce
lnent is forthcoming TO the effect thai
the company has secured all the monsy
requires for capitalization.
Shortly afterward funds are required
started on its way.
Not infrequentiy the promoter or
one fake concern will advise persons
who are seeking to purchase more
stock that the lists have closed, but
that he has been able to purchase Il
block of another stock which some
concern was forced TO let 80 of and
can sell 1t very cheap. This usually
brings in the long green.'
One scheme of the Kansas City
bunch was to send out in advance let
ters soliciting shares of certain
stock at 20 cents each. Persons re-
oeiving such letter had nibbled before
of course.
After short time another letter
would come along ostensibly from an
entirely different concern, offering to
sell this same stock for, say 10 cents.
Having week or SO before received
an offer Of 20 cents for this identical
stock, persons receiving the second let.
Ter sent in their subscriptions, receiv-
ing in return bunch OF worthless cer-
tificates.
After the receipt of the fake certlfi
Gates they would get into communioa-
tion with the concern OF individual Of
fering to pay 20 cents share for it,
only to learn that all the stock desired
had been secured from other persons
uleanwhile.

that she was on the point of failure,
when happy inspiration came to her.
Asking her accompanist to give her
his seat at the piano, she let her
fingers rove over the keys in loving
prelude, and then she sang a little
prayer that she had loved as a child,
but had not sung for years. AS she
ug she forgot all about the pres
ence of royalty and the hostility of
her jealous rival, and was once more
in her home singing to loving friends.
The soft, plaintive notes swelled loud
er and richer; she threw her whole
soul into the song, till it died away in
a sob, In admiring wonder her aud
ience sat spellbound, but Grisi, her
naughty expression gone and a tear
glistening in her long black lashes,
crossed to Jenny Lind's side and with
all the impulsiveness of child of the
tropics threw her arms about her,
and kissed her."
