The man would notice the punchboards and would buy a few punches. - After failing to secure any of the cov- , edted prizes, the man would buy his i wife a half dollars worth of punches. The woman would punch out the numbers and lo! and behold!, when she got i through punching, she would have ali most all the money off the board. “Hard luck", the store-keeper would murmer as the travellers would leave the store with S6O or $75 in cash from - the punch-board. All went well, and I the owners of the board thought nothing of the incident until one of the store-keepers watched the people leave ! the store and right before his eyes he saw the travellers get into a car driven by the man who sold them the • b:ards. It was then discovered that all the boards had been numbered and the man and woman knew where the lucky punches were located on each board. The store-keepers had no recourse, as e it is a violation of the statutes to keep

any kind of a gambling device. And so the three confidence workers left Adams county, for an unconsumcd and more fertile terltory—leaving a half dozen Adams county storekeepers “wiser but poorer.” o Get the Habit —Trade at Home. It Pays
