Every few days some man, generally old and weaithy,is made the victim of sharpers and mulched out of large sums of money. There is just one cause for all these cases. It can be described in one word,greed. The victims are offered chances to obtain something for nothing. No matter in what guise the confidence operator approaches his prey, the bait is in reality the same, and is one always successful where greed and ignorance go together. Where the desire to get money dominates both the intelligence and honesty of a man, the fisher can leave hi? hook almost transparent, for greed makes the sucker blind. Sympathy for the losses sustained by men who put up raorey at the catchpenny devices of strangers or who are gulled by schemes that have been exposed in newspapers time and again, is; wasted. It is offering a premium on ignorance and avarice to condole with them. They ought to be told that they had only themselves to biame and deserved almost as much censure as the sharpers wbo gathered in their sheckels.

It is a very common custom, says the Lafayette Courier for readers to severely criticise the mistake-? newspapers sometimes make in publishing the news or in stating opinions and but Mule charity is shown for those responsible for such errors. Considering the vast field that must be covered and the circumstances under which both news and opinions are prepared and formed, the only wonder i that mistakes are not more frequent. The inherent instinct of a newspaper writers is to be accurate and just That their good intentions are not always realized is largely, if not entirely due to misinformation furnished by others in whoine implicit reliance has been placed. The Philadelphia Inquire, commenting at length on the subject, state? the sistuation very clearly in saying: "The reputable newspaper tries to be scrupulously exact in all its Htatenvnif, and nonn but newspaper men appreciate t,hu constant and untiring efforts that are put forth to secure accuracy. The great majority of error that creep into newspapers arise from misinformation given to reporters either maliciously or innocently by informants. To guard against such errors there is nothing but the judgment of the news gatherer as to his informants' veracity." Smoke the 0. C. C.

The Courier is authority for the statement that A. J.Rulphy, the new member of the pension board of Brown county, is a Democrat, dyed-in-the-wool, true blue. In reply the Telephox-c would say that if he is,he should be removed before sundown and a Republican put in his place. When all the good,qualitied Republicans arc in olfice, it will be time enough to appoint Democrats. A'toan who rewards his enemies soon confronts the fact that he is without friends.

Presently one of 'em took out some lottery papers and said he'd like to get an agent at this plfi.ee. I told Jem I didn't know anything about lotteries and didn't want, to do anything wrong. They said the7 all belonged to church and were good, waving

members and wouldn't near do anything wicked. That it was ail square and honest and if I wanted to be their agent I could make some money in the lottery. I told 'era that 1 didn't know any more about it than ahorse, but that I reckoned it was the parao kind of a concern that John D. Carter, over here at Orleans got eight or nine thousand dollars out of. They said it. was, exactly, and that Carter got his money from their lottery. Well, they talked on and found out that I had $40 in my pocket and Kept at me to draw. The lottery man had the cards two of 'em had pictures on 'em and spotts and the other one

man he had just got a fortune of $100,000 from his grand-father's estate and could pay the money back.

If you'll agree never to say anything about it I'll meet you at the post office9tn Paoli, on the 28th of this month and give you the money back.' I give him my hand on it, and then the lawyer swore us to secrecy.

They gave me the money and they were so good and kind and all such good church members, that I thought it was all right and that I had better get the rest of the money.
