Man With Cards and Far Too Sure Thing Bet. A forlorn individual, with a ''tele scope'' grip in one hand and an emp ty pocketbook in the other, enlighten ed the detectives at the Union depot the other day concerning the latest wrinkle in confidence games. The melancholy one had just been reliev ed of $50 by a couple of chance no quaintances on a train. ''This is how it happened,'' said the traveler: 'I was coming froia Ok lahoma, and after leaving Fort Scott sat in the smoker with a man who got oi at that station. We chatted a bit and were watehing a game ot cribbage among some traveling mien across the aisle when a man came through the car with a pack of play ing cards in his hand. IIe stopped by the cribbage players and asked them to buy the cards. They refused, so he turned to our sent. '' ' Gentlemen,' lie said, 'I'd like to sell these cards. They are of unusu ally good quality, and I'll sell thent for the pri of an ordinary deck.' ''Let's s e,' said my seat mate, taking the Iek. 'I don't see anything remarkable ihout these. They look like ordin..y 25-cent cards to me.' '' 'All right,' replied the owner ot the cards .i an offended tone; 'if you can't listinguish the difference in the quality of cards, there's no use in my wasting time talking -to you.' ''Ie renehed for the pack, and as it was 11n1ded back to him one of the Can1118 Fell to ihe floor. apparently un notic(e by file owner. l v seAt- r.-n'te however, saw the card fall, and said, canterinigly: '' 'Those cards may be extra fine, but I'll het there's not a full pack there.' 'The owner of the cards glared in dignamtly at my seat mate. ''"You say you will?' lie exclaimed. 'Now, what wil vou bet on tlat?' "'My companioi hiad already cover ed the eard on tie floor with his foot. 'Oh' I'll call anvthin- you've got. lie laughed. "Without more ado the card sales man lugged out a bundle of bills and ainouiced that lie didn't like to take eandy from infants, but that he would bet. a hunred, even money, iiat, the pasteboards in his hand composed a full -deck of fifty-two cards, not counting the joker. This, of course, looked like Ciristmas expenses to us, who knew that one card of the pack lay on the floor. " I let you ini on half tle bet," said my seat mate, generously, and, of course. I jumped at the chance. "The money was posted, the cards were counted and the deck found to be complete. My seat mate and the card salesman left the train at the nlext, station. Of course I see it all now-that is, all but one thing: '"Why did it. not occur to me that there was something' odd in a man having $100 who had a moment be fore b)eenl trying to peddle a two-b)it pack of cards''"-Kansas City Star. The American Output. American ingenuity, aided by Oer man detail, brought this country quickly to the front in pencil mann racturme. Our enomous forests of cedar and the discovery of graphite, with the introduction of marvelous maclh inery and all kinds of labor-saving devices, have brought the daily output up to 1,000,000 iencils a day. There are salesmen whose annual bookings amount to half a million dollars each. They give away hundreds of thous ands of pencils to adv'ertise thecir business.

A man with a supply of pretty peneils, worth perhaps half, a cent each, which he distributes with a glad hand, can obtain more dis counts than one' armed to the teeth with ideas, testimonials, charpeoters, etc.-New York Press. One Traveler's Criticism. The lon. John Sharp Williams had an engagemient to speak in a small Southern town. Tle train lie was 4 traveling oin was not of the swiftest, and lie lost no opl)ortunity of keeping the conduetor informed as to his opinions of that particular rond. "Well. if yer don't like it,'' the conductor finally blurted out, "wiy in the thunder won't yer git out an' walk?'' "I would.'' Mr. Williams blandly replied, "but you see the committee doesn't expect me until this train gets in.''-"Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree," Everybody's Maga zine. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
