Dear Miss Kearney:
In the Commercial-Appeal, dated

count of your speech. at Houston
Miss:
"Miss Kearney still declares that
the people of Mississippi are not
getting their just desters in the
matter of the price of text books for
the children and maintains that there
is graft as she has declared before. "
Please let US know at once if you
made the above statement. If you
are making such charges before the
people of Mississippi, you evidently
have facts and proof to substanti-
ate you. We therefore consider it
your moral duty to give these facts

The Con Man

CONFESSIONS OF A CONFIDENCE MAN.
BY Edward H Smith. Scientific American
Publishing Company.
Gh HE origin of the confidence game"
says Edward II. Smith in the
opening chapter of Confessions
of a Confidence Man" ''is not easy to trace
The Vedas and the Mediterranean classics
reveal the ancient gods themselves as sad
rascals. Petronius and the Gesta Roma
norum contain descriptions of Latin
roguery. Chaucer is forever dwelling on
the trickery and scoundrelism of his con-
tempOraries and in the succeeding era a
whole literature of lawlessness had sprung
up in Europe. rejecting the manners and
methods of the engaging criminals of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, un-
doubtedly greatly romanticized. Lazarillo
de Tonnes in Spain, Gil Bias in France and
Till Eugenspiel in Germany are the arch
types. England's Robin is a quotable but
less analogous figure. The early English
novelists are, however, brimmng with the
stories of picaroons who are the progeni-
tors Of the modern confidence man. The
'Clarissa' Defoe's Colonel Jack is of the
stripe and so are the numerous picturesque
heroes or anti-heroes OF Fielding. And
Smollett in his 'Roderick Random de-
scribed with uncanny exactness the work
of bunco steerer."
