Row Southerners Are Milked by the Shrewd Confidence Men in New York. Pickpockets, hotel thieves, dwelliaghouse robbers, bank em bezzlers, "comeons" and bunco steerers of all sorts and degrees of professional skill are making things lively not only in New York, but in other parts of the country. Last week many of them established reputations for sinister social activity. On Thursday two Southerners came to town. They thought they knew something of New York and were on their guard, but of course they couldn't re fuse to be friendly to "one of their townsmen" whom they met on Broadway, and why should they hesitate to be friendly, also, toward that gentleman's com panion? Their amiability cost them just $1,360. On the same day a visitor from the west became so thor ughly convinced of the upright ness and good intentions of a man he met here and who dis cribed himself as a relative of a bank president in the other man's town, that the Westerner permitted his new acquaintance to escort him to the Park bank, where he desired to have some drafts cashed. The cleverness of the bank's private detective in recognizing and apprehending the Westerner's companion was all that prevented the latter from securing $1,000 in hard cash. An acr ant of all the other robberies and attempt at robbery which occured during the week would make a long chapter. Will our good friends from the country, who come here once or twice a week, or perhaps once in ten years, ever learn that New York is not the plance for them to make chance acquaintandes? Will they ever understand that, whether the affable stranger they meet here wears a, silk hat or a slouch hat or a derby, whether he is dressed like a tramp or like a clergyman, whether he is old or young or middle-aged, or is bewhiskered or smooth shaven, they should give him a wide berth? If he says he's your own cousin, don't stop to deny it, but pass on, and if he pretends to be sick at the stomach and to need the money for medicine, make him show his tongue, Withal, let our ru ral friends remember that in every big city there are scores of crooks who manage to keep out of jail and make a comforta ble living the year around by im posing upon credulity and good' nature.-New York Sun. wANTED-SEVERAL PERSONS OF CHAR cter and good reputatiun in each state (one in ~eold establised we:lth busies house of olid Snancial standing. salary $18.00 weekly ec Wdesday diret from head ofce.

A clerical friend of mine told ie a capital story of a Yale man who was the stroke oar of his 3rew and the chief athlete on he football field. He entered the ministry and spent years in missionary labor in the far West. Walking one lay through a frontier town, a aowboy stepped up to him and said: "Parson, you don't have mough fun. Take a drink." The minister declined. "Well," he said, "parson, you nust have some fun. Here's a ~aro layout. Take a hand in the ~ame." The minister declined. "Parsor," said the cowboy, 'you'll die if you don't have ome fun," And, he knocked the parson's at off his head and hit him a -hack on the ear. The old athlete's spirit rose. he science which had been earned in the college gymnasium m forgotten for a quarter of a ~entry was aroused. and a blow vas landed on the jaw of that ~owboy that~sent him sprawling n the street. The parson walked over to iim as if -he had been a door ug, picked him up and dusted he side of the house with him mnd then mopped up the side alk with his form. As the ambulance was car'ry ng the cowboy away he raised us head feebly and said: "Parson, what did you fool : r? You are chock full of -New York Times. ASTORIA1 *r Infants and Children. d You Hare Always Bought o of] k has a peculiar way of LAUGHTER AND LONG LIFEr .Cheerful Persons Have the Chance of Be coming Old. It may be that some enthusias tic and laborious German statis tician has already accumulated figu-res bearing upon the ques tion of length of life and its rela tion to the enjoyment thereof: if so, we are unacquainted with his results anl yet have a very de cided notio:a that people who en joy life, cheerful people are also those to whom long life is given. 1 Commonplace though this sounds there is no truth more commonly ignored in actual everyday exis tence. "Oh, yesf of course, wor ry shortens life, and the con tented people live to be old," we are all ready to say, and yet how many people recognize the duty of cheerfulness? Most persons will declare that if a man is not naturally cheerful he cannot make himself so. Yet this is far from being the case, and there is many a man who is at present a weary burden to his relatives. miserable through the carking care of some bodily ailment per haps or some worldly misfortune, who, if he had grown up into the ideo, that to be cheerful under all circumstances was one of the first duties of life, might still see a pleasant enough world around him. Thackeray truly remark ed that the world is for each of us much as we show ourselves to the world. If we face it with a cheery acceptance we find the world fairly full of cheerful peo ple glad to see us. If we snarl at it and abuse it we may be sure of abuse in return. The discon tented worries of a morose per son may very likely shorten his days, and the general justice of nature's airangement provides that his early departure should entail no long regrets. On the other hand, a nian who can laugh keeps his health and his friends are glad to keep him. To the perfectly healthy, laughter comes often. Too com monly, though, as childhood is left behind, the habit fails, and a halfsmile is the best that vis its the thoughtlined mouth of the modern man or woman. People become more and more burdened with the accumulations of - knowledge and with the weighing responsibilities of life. but they should spare time to Jaugh. Let them never forget, I moreover, and let it be a medi cal man's practice to remind them that "a smile sits ever serene upon the face of wis dom.

The miss went to he country with her mother dur ng the past summer, and there ~ound a playmate in the youth ul daughter of a village teacher, )ne day the following conversa ion was overheard: "You've told a story," said the! illage girl, accusingly. "Don't). ou know where the folks go hat tell stories?" "No," replied the New York iss, "where do they go?" "They go to hell." "Where is hell?" "Why, Mamie Blank, you a inister's daughter, and don't ~ :ow where hell is!" "Well, I don't care," answered ti he accused. "I never was in a ~eography class in my life.
