Inasmuch as it is impossible to make

manner. And. Of course, the addressee

! is one of the stories which tells how
an astrologer first found the charms:

but evidently some people in the world
retain medieval credulity, for the pur-
veyors Of this power have only lately
been cut off from their lucrative in
comes.
The activity of the department in
enforcing the laws which prohibit lot
teries had a marked effect Some of
the lotteries are operated by foreign
governments.
Many lottery schemes masquerade
as contests of skill and their lottery
features so ingeniously devised that
only careful study diSclOses their I'M
lawful features. One of the most in
teresting of these is the case of Can
adian jewellery company against which
the department issued at least five
fraud orders under different names.
Lottery in Which all Win.
A puzzle which is so simple that a
child can solve it in two minutes was
advertised with the announcement that
the lucky contestant would receive a
$50 gold watch. AS there wasn't a
chance of anyone losing on account OF
the simplicity of the puzzle. the return
mail brought the information that the
premium company was happy to in
form the victim that he had won the
gold watch. But Of course, such a
handsome watch could not be worn
without a chain and to meet this de-
mand which was sure TO come from
their patrons, the company had pre-
pared a limited lot of gold chains
which matched in beauty and quality
the excellence of the watch. These
chains were offered at the ridiculously
low price Of $3.50.
The contestant sees the truth OF
these remarks and forthwith dispatch
es the $3.50, thinking that he is pref
ty lucky chap to get the watch 50
easily. 4 few days later small box
arrives. 1t is unwrapped, but alas
only the chain drops out. What can
have happened to the watch?
1t is this way: The watch was
started on its way all right, but it was
improperly marked on the dial and
did not pass the custom officials, sc
it had to be returned to the sender
And the lucky contestant was left
with only the beautiful chain, for
which he had paid, but no watch &c
wear with it.
