The tall man and the short man met
on the corner. The tall man' was an
administration supporter; the short
man ivas not. The tan, man and the
short man were soon engaed in a dis
cussion, "I can prove my assertions by gov
ernment statistics' exclaimed the tall
man.
"Is that so?" sarcastically queried
the short man. f
"Yes, it's so. I can 'prove that the

man, thrusting .some papers into the
tall man's hand and rapidly walking
away.
Slowly unrolling the papers thr.ust
into his . hand the tall man gazed at
the figures written thereon.. ;

Dnce' upon a- time the "confidence
games" of the world met to organize
an association for mutual improve
ment, and the gathering was one of
the largest ever known. The interest
manifested was intense, and the meet
ing promised to be a great success.
But, trouble arose over the selection
of a presiding officer. Every "game"
present, claimed the honor.. The
wrangling proceeded for many weary
hour's; and there seemed to be -great
danger that the proposed organization
-would fail through lack of harmony.
Finally, after nearly every "game"
present had presented its claims to
recognition, an unusually large one
appeared on. the, scene.
"Cease ' this wrangling, friends," it
said.,. ."I have hut to announce who 1,
am in order to settle this contro-;
versy. The mere mention of my name
will convince you that I am entitled to
be '-It' in this august .assemhly."
"W.oll, fwho are you?" queried an
unusually large "game."

Infant Industry." ,

other "games" humbly" howed and, the
