Put one hundred an island where fish is a
staple article of sustenance twenty-five of the men
catch fish. Twenty-Five others clean the fish, Twenty
five cook the fish, Twenty fruit and vegetables
The entire company eats what thus gathered and pre-

So long everybody works there is plenty All
hands are happy
Ten Of the allotted fish catchers stop catching fish,
Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch
Five continue to catch fish, but work only part of
the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the community kitchen.
But the number of men insist on having the
same amount of fish to eat they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned and cooked the
fish have less to do owing to the undersuppy of fish,
But they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid upon the fruit
and vegetable hunters These upon larger

of the twenty-five quit gathering fruit vegetables
But the entire hundred men continue to insist
upon their right to eat.
The daily food supply gradually shrinks The man

one of them The with two bananas refuses part
with for fewer than three fish.
Finally the ten remaining at work quit in dis
gust. Everybody continues to The hidden fish are

In the jam and rush of life we reach out and touch the safety valve once in while.
 To the rest of the world Americans are ever a medley of complex mys- teries.
 One day with miraculous flashes of mental brilliancy we starttle the world with inventions that send mag netic thrills around the globe and upset, century old theories that have become mildewed during chang less ages
 The next day we dump train loads of rock bound ore, into belching fur naces and from the smoking sheds of electrified machine shops turn out beams for skyscrapers: steel track for trans-continental railroads, and armor plate for superdreadnaughts
 We throw our high geared men, talty into reverse and have spasms of political hydrophobia, and pull off a presidential campaign with earth quake propositions that almost jar the slats out of the ship of state.
 We right about face, pull off ser ies of lock-outs and strikes; crate on personal liberty and "cuss" and dis cuss the rights of capital and labor and hang in effigy the men we wor- shipped as heroes, but yesterday.

CONFIDENCE MEN MADE $10,000,0O0
 IN PAST YEAR
Up-to-Date "Con" Man is More Crafty and Pros
 porous Than of Old.

Chicago, May 9.-The American confidence men reaped q harvest of more than $10,00O,000 last year, ac- cording to figures compiled by Chi cago authorities. This is the approxi- mate amount actually collected from the credulous public by professional confidence operators and does not include the millions gathered in an- nually by the various stockjobbng schemes.
 The crude devices of the old time confidence man, with his shell game, three card monte, gold brick, green goods, money changing and lemon games, have given way to modern methods, more complex and more profitable.
 The really successful confidence men of today usually have summer and winter homes, ride in limousines and are aided by richly gowned wo- men, authorities say. They are edu- cated and far more clever than their brothers of old days, whose favorite trick in Chicago was to sell the Ma sonic Temple to "rube" for small sum, or agree to make the building turn around
 Land selling schemes, peddling of worthless mine and oil well stock, wire tapping and flake" sporting events are now the hand maidens of the modern confidence man, who matches wits with the banker. capi- talist and lawyer instead of dealing with the ignorant ruralte. Nearly all the victims of a Chicago gang re- gently sent to the penitentiary were bankers and business men. The gangs loot aggregated more than half a million dollars year.
 Fear Publicity.
 Fear of publicity keeps most vic victims quiet, thus giving the high class confidence man a certain degree of immunity, authorities say: They add that federal prosecution for us- ing the mails to defraud has been a big factor in breaking up gangs and recently brought about conviction of half dozen leading confidence work CTS.
 "Tom Brown, who came from De- troit and made his headquarters in
 New York, was father of the present type of confidence man." said Villa A. Pinkerton veteran detective, in striking comparison between the old and new swindlers. "He operated for 1 ty years ago and formerly was three card monte man. He was known as a bunco steerer and won by fake lot tery schemes and other crooked
 gambling devices. Then he invented the gold brick with which he toured
 the country. The green goods game came later and Brown had many imi-
 tators who picked up thousands an- nually. Wire tapping and other schemes now used developed from those old games. The modern opera tors don't bother with small money and often clean up $1OO,0O0 in a sin gle deal. The old timers thought $1,- 900 big job.
 "Victims are not really honest at heart, for they often enter into a scheme to cheat another fellow. The small town banker and business man has proved shining mark for swim dlers. They cannot risk their reputa-
 tion by complaining. It is surprising how many shrewd business men fall
 into the net"
 l It is estimated that $3,O0O,000 Of the
 0,OO0,000 total was obtained in | Florida, where hundreds of confi-
 dence workers are said to operate,
 particularly among winter tourists.
