Three-Card Monte Men on the C.,B. & Q.---They Swindle a Poor Cler- gyman at Monmouth, To the Editor of the Chicago Tri Ox tue wiNG, Februery 9.—The reason why I urge upon . every one, however smart, not to put too much confidence in his own smartness will be seen further on. Yesterday T had to wait several hours at Monmouth, Tll., a station on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road. Monmouth has been frequented by three-card monte men for years, 1 have always known it, have often seen them there, and have often written about them. Well, yesterday they were there again, One of them, with a Canada Bill diaiect, wanted to show me some strange “‘keerds” thet he got up in Chicago ““What were you doing up there!" I asked, knowing that he was a three- card monte man, and feeling an inter est in his modes. “Meand pap,” he said, “‘toek up some hogs. ®We teok up a pile on ’em, an’ made a heap: bu¢ pap he got swindled by a three-keerd monte man. ‘Got near ruined. But I grabbed the keerds, and I'll show you how they dome it.” “Never mind, boys,” I said; ““I know all about it. T know the whole racket. Now T'll keep quiet, mind my own business, and let you try your monte game on some ooe a little more fresh.” The monte boy saw at once that I was posted, and soon turned his at- tention to a good;looking, jolly, young and innocenticlergyman in the depot. Tn a few moments I saw that the in- nocent clergyman had become deeply interested. His interest grew as he watzhed the cards, There were three ordinary business cards, like these: WILLOGHBY, HILL & CO., Clothing. ne. RADWAY'S READY RBLIEF, Dr. Radway. PIPER-HEIDSIECK, John Osborne & Son. *‘T believe I can tell which card has Wiilwughby & Hill on it,” said the innocent clergyman. ““All right—try it,” said the monte- man, flopping them about. *‘There, that one!” said the clergy- man, smiling. Sure enough he was right ““I don’t see how your peor father could lose all his money at such a simple zame as that,” said the clergy- man, ‘‘why, your eyescan see the cards all the time.” “‘Suppose you bet 85 that yo1 can tell,” suggested the monte-man. ““All right, Tll risk it,” said the clergyman, “‘though I don’t like to win money that way.” The cards were turned, and, of course, the poor unsnspecting clergy- man lost. Again he tried it, hoping to get his $5 back, but lost agam. Then, seeming to realize his situation, he put his hand to his head and walked out of the depot. “To think,” he said, “that I, a clergyman, should get caught at this game. Why, Lmight have known it was three-card monte. I've no re- spect for myself,” and he wiped his eyos like a man who felt the most acute condemnation. “Why don’t you complain of the scoundrel?” I said. I would, but I'm a ciergyman, and if they should hear of my sin and foolishness in Peoria, T would be re- lieved. My poor family would suffer for my sins.” ‘‘Then I'd keep quiet about it,” I said: ‘but let it be a lesson to you meyer to think you know more than «other people.” ‘‘But they've got my last dollar, and T want to go to Peoria. I must e there to preach on Sunday,” said the innocent, suffering man. ““Cari’t you borrow of some one!” I asked. *No 6ne knows me, .and I don’t like to tell my name here after this ocourrence,” said the pecr man, half crping. “Very well,” I said, “hand me your card,and I well lei yon have| 80, and you.can send it to une at the; Palmer house, Chicago, when you get | to Peoria,” and I handed the poor man the money. A woment.efterwards I spake to the agent &t the depot about the wicked- ness of these monte-men and ¢old him how I kad tolend the poor clergyman 85 to get home. “And you lent him 857" “Yes, I lent the poor man the money.” “Well, by the great gun«!” and afhen he swung hie hat and yelied to the operator: ‘‘Bill, you know that ministerial- ing man around here?” “You mean the capper for the three-card monte men, don't you— Bill Koyes—Missouri Bill?” “Yes.’ “Well, by the greac guns, he's the best man in the whole gang! He's Jjust struck old Eli Perkins for 85. It does beat me what blankety-blankety fools them darned newspaper fellers are!” Yours, tearfully, ELtag Prrkins, Universal Approbation, By the community at large has besn given to Burnook BLoob BITTERS.

Chicago Tribune, h ing comedian, Nat Good- win, was tolling ~ the other night v« difue poker party into which he dropped where the silent and saturnine Shed Shook and the gallant and intellectual Henry Watterson were doing the heavy bus- iness, Watterson had lately heard the opera of ‘“The Pirates of Penzance,” and fallen in love all over again with its melody; particularly was he pleased with “the pirate’s song, and ever and anon he broke forth and warbled, “I am a Pirate King,"” or he burst out and whistled a bar or so, as he held his hand close to his crit cal eye. Poker, as several Chicago- ans know, is not a conversational game; but Watterson, was in luck, and he varied his musical outbreaks by an occasional reminiscence. Nat cheer- he could contribute to the evening’s amusement, left the table, and as.a looker-on began to enjoy himself. Just then Tony Hart and a young man named Billy Barry - Ethiopian delineator and variety performer, happened in. Barry was unacquaint- ed with the person of Mr. Waterson, and probably never heard of The Courier-Journal. Waterson had just picked up his cards, passed them un- der his eye, whistled a bar of his fa- vorite song, when he casually re- marked “The lost time T played poker was with Grant,’ ‘1 was with Grant," "’ the old man said, recited Barry -“I ’spose the generalf said the general—Goneral | Grant,” responded Watterson, loftily, fOhy hear him!" Barry addressed Hart. ‘“Just get onto that— Grant! 1 'spose Roscoe held a flush as usuat, ehi? Oh, play the kiards!” Mr. Watterson looked horrified at the low, interruption, but relapsed into his melody, and informed in A minor that he *‘was a Pirate King, At this juncture Tony Hart found he held a pair of kings and a pair of aces, and began betting. Watterson softly whistled and pass- ed his nose ov. r his cards. “T have no reason that 1 can see to refrain from seeing you and going you fifty better. ““Iam a Pirate King.'” Tony investivated his hand again with such good results that the stakes wera raised * By this time the other yers wera out. Watterson and Tony had got up to $300. *‘The Pi- rate hing” was coming with a picolo precision from the editor's puckered lips, lus head was on one side like a magpie, and that gentle, soft expres- sion so often detected in The Courier- Journal sat on the editor'’s face as Tony called: ““What have you got?” “Two pair,” answcred Watterson, “‘So’ve I-—can’t be beat, either.” “I am a pirate king,” sang the ed- itor, s he laid down two pairs—all jacks - and raked in all the money; “I am pirate king.” “Tm paralyzed if you ain't,” groaned Tony, as the stakes disap- peared, and Nat Goodwin came away satisfied that if there are any pirate kings in the poker trade, Henry Wat- terson-takes the little crown.

Chicago Times, They ave having a great deal of trouble in Kansas in_convicting any- body of selling beer. When a man who is knewn to have lingered at the shrine of Gambrinus is summoned a8 a wit- ness against the law-breaker who sold him a beverage always known as beer he declares upon oath that it was not beer but ‘“‘sea foam” that he - draunk, Of the nature of sea foam he pro- fesses to know nothing, and the judge and jury being up a stump, o to speak, the case falls to the ground. The following colloquy is taken from the record of a trial at Topeka. The witness was an admirer of sea foam, bu‘ had never taken the trouble to find out whatit Was: “‘Question. Did this sea foam look like beer? Answer. Itdid. “Q. Did it foam like beer? did. “Q. Did it taste like beer? did. Q. Could you discover any differ- ence between it and beer! A. I could not. *‘Q.

For the past two years the publish- ers of this paper have given to the isubscribers of THE WEEKLY BEE the best line of premiums as inducements %o subscription which have.ever been affered by any newspaper in the coun- tey. The plan has proved & success, It has given universal satisfaction to the patrons of the paper, and has in- cressed the subscription list to a de- gree far above the expectations of its publishers, Many patrons of THe Dawy Beg have asked why we do not offer them the same inducements held out to sub- scribers of Tur WeekLy Beg, Inre. sponse te ‘the inquiry we make the following offer: Each subscriber to Tie Datny Bee who pays his arrears of subscription and remits pre-pay- ment for six months and every new subscriber who remits pre-payment for six mouthe will be enttled to one of the premiums mentioned in our list. These premiums will be dis- tributed in the eame impartial man- ner which marked our first and second distributions. Thiy scheme was first devised to collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of Tur WeEkLy Bee, Its suc cess exceeded our expectations, We have now no back colleetions on our weekly edition, have established the prepayment system, qiadeunlad onr cireulation and correspondingly en- hanced the value of our advertiring space. A number of subscribers to TuE DarLy Bek are now in arrears, and if by an extension of the same plan we can induce them to pay the amount due us, we can well afford to make this liberal offer, By this means we hope to still further increase the large list of Tae DarLy Bee, and having established the Pprepayment system we propose to maintain it, as we are doing with our Weekly edi- tion, To those who are not familiar with our plan of distribution or themanner fully played in the amount he thought w0 which the premiums are secured by us, we append the explanation made to cur weekly subscribers, which ap- plies equally to the subscribers of Tie Damy Bee. Two years ago the publishers of Tux Bk devised a scheme for collocting back pay from delinquent subscribers, securing renewals and extending the circulation of this paper by a distri- bution of valuable premiums, The success of that experiment, both in the collection of back pay and increase of prepaid subscribers was 8o encour- aging that the publishors ventured upon the same system of premium dis- tributions on a more extensive scale last y It was demonstrated that we could better afford to distribute the money usually paid to agents, local collectors and attorneys, dircetly to our patrons by offering them extr ordinary imducements to square ac- counts and prepay for another year, By this method we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula- tion of Tur WerkLY Bre and extend- ing its influence far beyond the boundaries of this state. During the first year only a portion of the ardicles distributed were pro- cured in exchange for advertising. When the marked increase in cireula. tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan- dise at our disposal in paying for ad- vertising. That enabled us to do what seemed incredible namely, fur- nish & metropolitan weekly for two doilars a year and give our subscaibers premiums that ageregated in value $20,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. What grew out of a desire to collect back pay has developed into a new and practical idea. We have discov- ered that we can afford to make our subscribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising. In other words we can afford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- creased circulation. Advertising space in Tne that was worth one hun- dred dollars five years ago will com- madd one thousand dollars to-day This fall more goods and machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than we could accept in view of the limited space we devote for that purpose. What we have con- tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has ever been offered for distribution by any news- paper, and that too without paying a aollarin money. The only outlay in cash we expect to incur in connection with these premiums will be for post- age and expressage. This explaing exactly how we procure our premiums and why we can give away property of 80 much value. All the premiums in our list are worth at retail just what we represent them. In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesale dealera we accept them only at wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those who receive them. THE BEE has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi, and to-day circulates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a view of acquiring reliable in- formation about the resources and de- velopment of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them- selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than ten years been under one management pursuing acourse that hae eatahlfinhud for it pub- lic confidence at home and a wide reputation abroad, Tne BEE could not afford to engage in any undertaking that was not conducted fairly and hon- estly. The distribution in 1880 and 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers, The coming distribution will be made in the same impartial manner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may select from their own number, .and ‘in such man- ner as they think fair and equitable, Last, year all the premiums gave good satisfaction, excepting some engrav- inge which were not appreciated. »This year no engravings, maps or pictures have been placed among the prem- iums, Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of THE BEE, nor do we aeed to inform them that the principles it advocates, and the fearless defense it make in behalt of the producers, makes it al- most indispensible to the industrial classes of the great west, No intelligent person would expect that every subscriber will receive a $050 thresking machine, a $500 pi- ano, a $300 harvester, or a $150 or- gan, but all have an equal chance in the distribution, Each subscriber that pays up hisar- rears and repays another year, and every new subscriber that remits pre- payment for one year, will receive a premium worth at least One Dollar at retail. As a matter of fact, Tur OyManA WrekLy Bge is worth the subscription price, Two Dollars a year, to every faamer; mechanic or merchant. Without boasting, we as- sert that no weekly paper, east or Weat, can compare with it in variety and choice selections, general news, interesting correspondence, and no other paper in America contains as much far western news, ranging from the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river. With the proof of good faith aud honest dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments we pub- lish, we can safely enter upon our en- larged undertaking of this year, con- fidently belieying that its success will be wmutually satisfactory and advan- tageous, E.

The reputation of the Marsh har- vesters is 8o well established that no special description of them is deemed necessary. We will only state that this is their latest improvement. This machine was on ition at the Ne- braska state fair last September, and was admired by every one, and the workings of it declared superior to that of any other harvester made. THE LEWIS HEADER. This machine stands at the head of the header family and has met with most surprising success. The factory at Hastings, Nebraska is kept busy the year round, and the past year has not been able to make enough to fill all orders. These headers do more work with less power than any other svyle of reaper, and with less loss of grain than by any other mode of har- vesting.
