HOW WE ARE SWINDLED.
The Importance of "Another Man" as )
Told by nn cx-Cnuhtrjr Judge.
Wo were seated on tlio deck of an tip.
river steamer making the trip from St.
Louis to St. PuuI nnd had boon talking
nbout swindlers and frauds.
"Tho first time I was over taken in , "
sntd my companion , Jmlgo Johnson , a
retired country judge , "wa * when 1 was
sixteen years old , and it does seem that 1
have not cut my wisdom teeth yet. i-.very
stray swindler who conies along manages - '
ages to rope mo In aud I never learn to
keep clear of him. "
"Sixteen was pretty early to make his
acquaintance wns it not ? How did Ito
manage to skin you ? Aud how deep ? "
1 asked.
" 11 was not much , only n quarter , but
the way in which it was done is worth
relating. The straugo part of it was that
the old reliable Youth's Companion of
Houston was the moans of bleeding many
innocents of their " 5 cents. When 1 was
about sixteen 1 was n regular subscriber
to that paper , and would as soon ex
pected my own father to cheat mo as to
mistrust anything in that ptipur. Onu
week there appeared an advertisement
something liku this , as near as 1 can
remember :
\\TANT12n Aiilhnrs In every township ; no
v T experience required.rlto to
for Information.
" 1 wrote , ami in reply received a circu
lar to the oll'eet tltat a company was com
piling material for n most glgantin his
tory of the United States. Kaoh state
was to be done in ono volume at the uni
form price of $5. The company wished
n correspondent in each township , and
as remuneration would semi the writer a
copy of the history of Ins own state us
soon as it was published. If they needed
his services after ho had written up his
own township they would lot him know
and pay him in cash or with more books.
In conclusion , the circular demanded a
quarter of : i dollar as u guarantee of
good faith and to pay for a list of ques
tions which they desired answered. I
out the quarter.
"And never hoard of it again ? "
"No. 1 did hear from it , tor by return
nail I received a second circular contain-
ng about thirty questions concerning tlio
opography und history of the township
u which 1 lived. "
"Did you answer them ? "
"Yes. It amuses mo yet when I think
of the serious way in which 1 wortccd
hem tip. in fact , if I should meet the
publisher' I would bo willing to give
lira another quarter as an acknowledg
ment of the triek ho played on mo and
of my own gullibility. And Btlll I am
ufraiil that ho did not make very much
out of his gamer There were two letters
o each victim , with a postage of 0 cents ,
wo envelopes and two printed circulars.
Us profit could not have been more than
5 cents. Uf course I never heard of
, ho history again. "
Whether or not 1 had over boon duped ,
even to the small amount of a quarter , I
did not propose lo confess , but just to
: oop the conversation up and sea if my
companions had any moro reminiscences
[ asked if ho had over stumbled up
against the "portrait copying" swindle ,
ie confessed that he never had , aud
asked mo what it was.
'If yon ever read the personal columns
of the daily papers you must have came
across the 'ad s , ' I road them everyday.
Not for information , but for amusement.
There are some queer tilings to bo found
"n these columns. "
" 1 know it , " ho replied , scntontiously.
"Within the last year or so several en
terprising eastern gentlemen have ad
vertised lor "artists1 the work , copying
portraits ; the advantages , work at homo
and no canvassing ; tbo pav , princely. I
spotted the scheme as u swindle nnd
thought no more about it ; but ono of my
friends was taken in. "
"His name , please ? "
"Nover mind his name. In reply to a
letter of inquiry ho received a circular
nskinjj for $3 for apparatus. The f 2 was
send and the material for copying re
ceived. My friend was something of an
artist , but to save him ho could not make
n decent picture with the material sent
Lo him. Ho even called in the assistance
af a professional artist. The latter told
Idm tlmt it was impossible to turn out
anything but "blotches. " So ho gave it
up. Ho had the curiosity , however , to
send bis caricatures to the eastern gentle
man , who promptly replied that they
showed talent , but wore not quite up to
the required standard , and urged the or
tist to persevere. ' '
"It's queer how people nro taken in , "
said my companion , meaningly , but I
passed over his remark in silonco. "
"Uo you know , " ho said after a few
minutes , "that the literary dodge is
almost taking the place of the counter
feit swindle. Of course there is plenty of
the latter going on , but not so openly as
formerly It seems as though the 'sharp
ers' were taking advantage of iho literary
craze which * has captured the feeble
minded of the country. Did you over
tiavo nny experience with the cheap book
game ? "
"What do you mean ? and ? "
"No , no. They are legitimate publish
ers. I see you never have and will give
you a pointer. It is a neat swindle , and
ono which rarely gets its perpetrator into
trouble. A book is hastily compiled from
other works generally consists of some
very valuable hints for farmers , me
chanics , and others of the working closs.
Of course it ought to have some good in
it. for all the author has to do is to steal
his copy from BO mo standard works.
Then n catchy title is secured ,
such as 'Tho Farmers' Handbook , '
'Knowledge for the Masses'or 'How to
Keep Well. ' Then the services of a cheap
printing oflicn are secured and a cheap
edition printed on poor paper und with
broken type. Thu expense is very light.
A few copies are gotten up in good shape
for canvassing. The 'agent' visits a
small Tillage and seeks out the leading
man of the place , generally retired pol
itician or 'squire who thinks much of his
title. A few notices arc artfully inserted
in the local paper , and the public is soon
well acquainted with the gentlemanly
canvasser. You know very little is needed
to interest a quiet country place , where
sensations are few and far between. At
length the judge is induced to take the
agency for the work. 'His name and m-
tluencu , ' you know , will be worth so
much that special terms can bo given
him. The books nre to bo sent him ; ho
ia to secure agents and superintend tlio
sales , und on each book ho is to have a
commission of , say , 25 per cent. Heforo
the ' * loaves he the
'agent secures signature
of the ' ' ' to such
ture 'Squire' some an
agreement as this :
' 'I agree to take 2 do/.cn copies ol
"The Farmer's Handbook , " paying all
charges , and to act as agent for the name
in Cokomo county , nt f'J per copy.

" 'W itness Richard lion. '
"Tho agreement is afterward raised
from two do/on to twenty by inserting 11
cipher after the figure two , nnd thodollat
blank is lilted up. Sometimes , almost
always , the victim trios to make trouble ,
but there is tiiti signature , with the ugcnl
as witness. He knows that he ban beer
swindled , but it would bo dillicult tc
prove it. "
"You say that a country 'tqtiiro is gen
erully the victim ? "
lint my companion did not hear the
question.

BNEEZINO CATAHRH.
What It Meona , How It Acts aad
What It Is.
You sncezo when you got up In the moraine ,
you try tosnco/.o your nose oif every time you
nro exposed to the leust draft of air. You h v -
a fullness over the front of the foreho.id , ana
the neRo feels as though there was a plug in
each nostril which you cnnnot diilodgo. You
blow your nose until your cars crude , but It
don't do nny good , and the only result is tuu
you succeed In totting up a vary rod nose , and
you so Irritate the lining niombrHi.u of thnt or *
gnn that you uro unable to breatlio through U
nt all. This U a correct und not overdrawn
picture of tin acute attack of catarrh , or
' Hnco7lng Cutnrrh" ns It Is culled.
Now , what dnos this condition Indicate ?
First , n cold that causes mucus to bo poured
out by the glands In the nose ; then those dlt-
catiod glands are attacked by swniins of llttlb
germs-tho cntnirb genii that floats In the
ulr In a locality whore the disease Is prevalent.
These n n I ami c n I no , In tholr efforts to Und ft
lodgment , Irrltato the sensitive membrane lln
ing the nose , and nature undertakes to rid
herself ol them by jiiodiiclnir a fit ot sneezing.
When thu nose becomes tilled with thickened
and diseased mucus the natural channels tot i
the Intiodnctlon of air Into the lungs In Inter
fered with , nnd the person 10 effected mutt
breathe through the mouthand by such meani
the thront becomes parched nnd dry , snoring
Is produced , nnd then the oittnrrhal dtsoatf
gains ready access to the tlnoat uud mugs.
PALPABLE SIGNS.
By Which a Praiouce Undesirable it
IS ado Known. i
When catarrh has existed in the hood and
upper part of the throat for any length of
tlmo the patient living' In a district Where
people are subjoot to catirrhal nlfoction and
thedlMmso bus been loft imoured , the catarrh
Invariably Bometlmesslowly , extends down tbo
windpipe and Into the bronchial tubes , which
tubes convoy the air Into different part * of the
lungs. The tuboi become affected from the
swelling nnd the mucus arising from catarrh ,
and In some instances become so plugged up
that the air cannot get In a freely as f
should. Bliortiiosp of bronth follow * , and the
patient breathes with labor and dllllculty.
The pain which acoompunlos this condition
Is of a dull character , felt In the client , bohm < l
the breast bono or un'lor ' the shoulder Dlude.
The pnln may come and go-lust a lewdayi
and then be absent for Rovnral others. Toe
cough Unit occurs in tlio first stages or bron-
chll catarrh Is dry , contos at Intervals , Is back *
Ing In diameter , and usually most trouble-
BO mo in the morning on arising or going to
bed nt night , nmlIt maybe the firstovldenooof
the dlHiinse extending into the lungs.
Sometimes there are tits of coughing Induced
by the tough mucus so violent as to causo'
vomiting.
