HAD REMNANT OF HONESTY
Admitted Thief Returned Borrowed
Money, Though He Couldn’t Tell
Why He Did So.
"Here 1b the dollar T borrowed from
you today," said a shabby individual,
tendering the money to a fellow lod
ger In a Bowery hotel. "I dimmed a
bookmaker three times this after
noon.”
"Fllmmod ?”
"In one pocket I carried a number
of one dollar bills each crumpled up
by itself. When a circus visitor
bought candy he Bometimes tendered
a ten dollar bill in payment. Quick
ly crumpling the bill 1 would thrust
It into my pocket where I kept the
ones. Then I would hastily thrust a
bill back into his hand and exclaim:
" 'I can’t change it now, old man,
see me after the show!
"To distract the victim’s attention
1 would always thrust an extra sup
ply of candy into his pocket. Invari
ably he would disappear, thinking he
had the best of the bargain, whereas
he had paid Just $9 for a few cents
worth of candy, as the bill thruBt into
hta hatyi was one which I had sub
stituted for his ten.
"But my long career as a flimflam
mer spoiled me for all honest en
deavor. I have lately earned a pre
carious livelihood by placing bets with
bookmakers who pay commission of
ten per cent, on all business brought
to them.
"When I have a five dollar bet to
place I never hand it over in one bill,
but always convert it into ones. Two
of these I keep. The other three by a
simple trick I fold In the middle and
by a sleight of hand movement cause
the bookmaker to believe he is receiv
ing $6, because six ends are displayed
to him.
“In this manner I realized $6 this
afternoon in addition to the ten per
cent commission of the bookmaker
on $15 which I caused him to think
he received. In other words, my
total earnings for the day are $7.50,
and you must admit this Is pretty
good for a has been.”
“But, my good man," gasped the
lender, "If you make your living dis
honestly In this manner, why have you
chosen to keep faith with me by re
turning the dollar you borrowed?”
"I don’t quite understand it myself,"
admitted the flimflammer. "I only
know that I feel disgraced if I work
for money honestly."—New York
Herald.
What Quieted Him.
It was the first time that John
Willie, aged four, had ever faced the
camera—at least, since he had begun
to take a live Interest in things.
"Now, my little dear,” said the pro
tographor, "If you’ll Just keep still a
moment we shall soon have a pleasant
picture.”
But nothing on earth would Induce
John Willie to keep still.
"If you’ll just go outside, madam,"
the artist said, after he had tried
for half an hour, "I think I can man
age It all right."
John Willie’s mother went out, for
she, too, was tired of the strain. And,
behold! Five minutes later the pho
tographer smilingly assured her that
all was well. As for John Willie, he
was as meek as a lamb. Only when
they reached home did his mother at
tempt to discover the reason.
"Aluvver,” John Willie explained,
“he looked ter'blo at me, and said:
'Now, then, you ugly little beast, if
you don't keep your twisting carcass
still, I'll skin you alive!” That's wlij
I kept quiet."—Exchange.
Asiatic Creeds.
Few people realize the growth ot
Asiatic cults and religions in America
It is stated on apparently good au
thority that this country now holds
15,000 sun worshipers, and an equal
number of Buddhists.
Probably ten times as many per
sons have covered the Oriental basis
of their new creed with a veneer of
western Christianity. The number of
dabblers In the "mystic” cults of India
now among us cannot be guessed.
There is no cause for alarm at this
growth of Orientalism. Neither Is it a
thing to be proud of. Mysticism, sen
sual'.sm, lethargy—these In varying
proportions are woven in the texture
of every Asiatic creed that is seeking
converts here. These creeds do not
and cannot fit the busy life of our land
today, and for that very reason they
will make no dangerous progress In
this land.
The growth of pagan Orientalism
In America Is remarkable, but, after
all, It touches only the fringe of our
population.
Thought Ho Had Them.
In the days of the continuous at the
Olympic an occasional professional
visitor was a clown with an educated
pig. He used to take the pig out with
him when he had finished his act and
had him harnessed up like a trick
pooch with a collar, shoulder straps
and a leading string. In this way the
grunter trotted along the street it Just
his master’s gait.
Out of the hotel across the way
came a man who had been hitting ’er
up for a week, during which time he
\j£i\ .!!*.-AU• 5isb-V-to'* -;-a. V
slept all day. It was his first ven
ture out in a strong light, and it made
him blink. Along came the clown and
his mate. Joe Morgan rubbed hia
eyes and halted the vaudeville actor.
“Tell me,” he asked earnestly, “is
that a dog or a pig?”
"Why, it’s a pig, you rummy,” was
the answer. “What’s the matter with
you!”
“Thank heaven!”
Morgan fervently;
exclaimed
it’s a pig! it’s a

For centuries men worked away —
No quitters they.
And, if this town of ours is slow.
Remember it is often so
That cities grow.
Just keep on boosting it a bit:
Just show that you have fait!) in it,
And never quit.
Just make vourcash.and spend it, here.
And, day by day and year by year;
Still persevere.
This town amid the fertile loam
Is just as good a town as Rome—
So boost for Home:
