There is plenty of exacting labor even though the pay is good, averaging $500 for a six-day week on & good train, after you deduct your overhead. Your over- head is high, because 60 cents in every dollar you earn must go to the train ibe if you want to avoid the excitement wears off soon and the work becomes as much as milking cows. Not much stock’is needed to set up in business as a card operator. All one absolutely requires is two other fellows similarly inclined, a train ticket, a pack | of cards, fin in dealing them, a | sound working knowledge of human na- ture, a fluent tongue and the ability to act nervous.

Must Be Careful. The stock market is highly desirable. I think the finest sucker trade in the world s to be found among the Wall street brokers.

All | you have to do to become a good friend is to listen to their brag patiently. But | here a young fellow just starting in has to be careful. I remember once, many years ago, laying in wait two months for John W. Gates to take a trip from Chicago to Pueblo. After spending all kinds of money to get next to him on the train, he beat me out. For every trick I knew, he knew two that were better and I landed at Pueblo rich only in knowl- edge However, that card game 1 local Two January Speci(lls in Dainty Rayon Undies $1 Plain and on-Run Undies 69c Vests, bloo mers, panties, January Coat Clearance! $24.50 & $29.50 Models '187° What buys!
