EXPERT IN EMBLEMS. WISE IN THE MATTER OF FRATERNITY PINS AND BADGES.

▲ Bowery Man Wbo Makes These Things a Feature of His Pawnbroker's Sale Shop' and Finds Them the Most Fascinating Incident of His Business* On the Bowery not far from Broome) Street is a pawnbroker’s sale shop, the proprietor of which makes a specialty of dealing in college fraternity pins and badges. Ton may examine every other pawnshop and sale store on the Bowery and find not more than five or six such emblems In all of them, bat in this shop, occupying a conspicuous position in the show window, there is always a velvet covered tray on which a dozen or more pins of different secret societies are displayed. The place is getting to be known among college men, and people who have lost fraternity badges go there as the first step to finding them. Every few weeks the proprietor of tbe place goes on a tour of the pawnshops looking for badges, and in his long experience he has picked up a fund of information about college fraternities that wonld pat the average graduate to the blush. There is not much money in that particular branch, he says, bat he has become interested in it and made it a sort of study. Not only does he know the emblems of every fraternity in this part of the country, bat he is a perfect encyclopedia of information regarding their relative size, importance and the peculiar characteristics of each society and of the colleges in which each has its chapters. One would be certain that he himself is a college man bat for certain peculiarities of speech that proclaim the east sider and his positive assertion that he has never been inside the doors of a college and has never even seen any hut the local colleges from tbe outside. A reporter in search of a lost badge which he thought might have found its way, as many lost articles do,' into a Bowery pawnshop went into this store to look over the stock of fraternity pins. He didn’t find his badge, but he found many others. The proprietor had some interesting things to tell about some of his pins. “There ain’t many things in this line that’s fun,” said be. “Aman wouldn’t go into it for his health. But this secret society pin business is mighty interestin. Of coarse you understand it’s only a side lay—not my ftgnlar trade. How did I get into it ? Why, the funny let-; ters on the pins used to catch me when | was on the lookout for stuff in the hockshops, and I began pickin ’em op. Then I got interested more by an old gent from the University clpb that was up on that line and used to tell me things about the badges and their different organizations. He came into my shop one day to look at a badge. That’s how I got to know him. He used to send me books and magazine articles on fraternities till I got to know as much about it as he did, and now I guess they ain’t many college societies in this part of the country that I don’t know enongh about to surprise the members if I wanted to tell it. “They ain’t a college fraternity in the east bat wl)at I’ve handled one or more of its pins. I’m keepin tab on the hockshops all the while, and whenever I find a badge I nail It. Usually I get ’em cheap, for they ain’t any demand for ’em to speak of. Occasionally a man brings in a pin to me, or I see one on a bum’s coat and hny it, hut it’g mostly the pawnshops. How do I e’pose they get there? Well, most of ’em are lost, I think. I know pnpugh ^bou^ ’em to know thai the last thing ft college man’ll hock is his society pin. When they do hock ’em, though, it’s down here, and not up town, where they think other college fellows may go in and see ’em. They get mighty little cm ’em, for the hocksnop men are dead leary of things they don’t understand. Of ponrse the pin itself has a good deal to do with it. If it’s heavily jeweled, a man may. get half its value on it. Then pins that are a marked design hock well, because they sell well. The T pin of the Delta Psis, and the star and crescent of the Alpha Delta,, and the crosses like the Alpha Tan Omega or Delta Phi will find a market easier than the plain monogran^ pins or the diamond shaped. “Now, here’s a pin,” continued tWq erudite student of fraternities, taking a small, plain Psi Upsilon pin from the case, “that I’ve had here for 18 months, and not an offer for it. I .got it in a queer way* I was in a hockshop down by Canal street chewin the rag over a couple of badges that the proprietor bad, when in came a young Woman about 26 or 28 maybe and pretty, too, only she looked kind of half starved. She nnpinned the pin from her dress and £&sked:

now uiucu win juu iuau uio this?’ ' “Her voice trembled, but she was game and kept a steady face. The man offered her $1, and she turned to go out, when I said I’d give her $3 for it. “ *1 don’t want to sell it,’ she said. !I want to get it back some time.’ " ‘Well, I’ll keep it six months for you,’ I told her and gave her my business card. She took the money, and she kissed the pin before she handed it to me. I never saw her again. There’si nothin on the pin but her name.’’ The speaker handed the pin to the reporter, who looked on the back and saw engraved the one word “Lizzie.” fie returned the pin to its place, and it is probably there now if any Psi U wants to go Bowery hunting for it.—New York Son, Practical.
