A pariy'of men had collected around

Aftern-pun and were vleln* with each
other' Tn telUnjf utorles. After many
top>ce had been discussed the discus
sion turned to the average man’s cred

uy nnd had -told one or more stories
mowing bow easy It Is to make u man
believe you If you get at him right,
when one of.the party made the $weep-
Ing assertion that he could tool a man
Into believing anything and *a!d he
had practiced too art and found it
highly beneficial to hla buaine*s. The
ytroller, who happened up Just about
Fhl* time, Juat to get up an argument
an<l po»»Jbly a etory, dl«ugre«<l with
him.
“Well, I’ll give you an instance." eahl
the fellow, a* he cut off a fresh chew
of tobacco—a sure sign that ire was
roady. *‘It*» a pretty good story, and
true, too. Incredible as it scorns. Ip a
small town down here In southwest
Georgia there lives an old man who
loves to Joke his neighbors and has
built for himself quite a reputation as
a Joker. The proprietor of the only
store In the place Is a rather conceited
and pompous old fellarw. Jones, we will
call the Joker, walked into the store
one day and drawing out <v$l bank note
asked the old man If he could change
an $11 bill. The proprietor said yes,
and took *the bll), which sure enough
haVl the,figure 11 In the corners, and
lust glancing nt ft handed the amount
n change to Jones. Jones had added
another figure in Ink to the number
on the bill, and as the old man did not
Hke to acknowledge that -he‘toad never
seen an $11 bill before, he Wad only
glanced at It casUaMy before putting it
in the drawer. Jones walked out of the
hotel and toad all the men be met
about it. About fifteen minutes after
Jones left, a man, one of those whom
he had told about the joke, went into
'the store «and said to the proprietor:
•i Blank, I understand you have
$11 bill here. May I look at ttt
never saw one.*
“The old mnn produced It, and the
man marvelled over for several min
utes. Before the flT3t man got through
ex iniining.it another map came in ana
then another and yet another. Finally,
the old storekeeper’s curiosity became
arbused and he decided he would see
what the bill looked Uke. He saw at
once how It had been ‘fixed,” and his
face was a study. The boys standing
around shouted with laughter and the
old fellow had to acknowledge that the
drinks were on him, und he set *em up
like a man."
The admiring crowd all sold that It
was a good one, and the same man
braced himself for another.
"Well, here’s another and .more strik
ing Instance. A crowd of.us were go
ing to a picnic one day und one of the
boya had on a brand new hat he had
Just bought in town. . It was a very
white hat, a derby, and It at once at
tracted -tbs attention pf one of the fun-
loving members of the party. ‘Well,
he said, going up to the wearer of the
hat, ‘you’ve got one of the new hats,
have you? Let’s look at It/

show of pride and handed It over for
Inspection. . .
