A saloon-keeper who recently WM "turned out ot a all cum ot money by moon- ot an ancient device felt much more keenly the ally-ace than he am the loss.

It to clear that the naioonkeeper'n imthrmstion was increased to a large extent by his vanity.

Yet it the truth were known and acknowledged " would be round that were are as many marks and suckers in the green; clues as there are in the couwu-y. and probably more. It is probable that the very sim- plicity of these devices In what makes them attractive to the countryman ot a jovial and sympathetic turn. He is disarmed by their appuunt reason- ableness.

BUT THEY Leaving out of the question the untortuuates who get into scrapes as a. result or too much coaviviality, the man whose senses are gone with drink being in no condition to ex- ercise his lucultlee in any emergency, it is the usual experience that. the countryman who becomes a victim to ttiiu1.wile.t' of sharper-s is approached on: the side ot his generosity and his humanity. He holds a baby, be cameo u. check. he (manages a bill, he goes to the rellet of some one in dis- tress. he takes an laterth in some alleged disaster. he tinthe an ac- qualntausce of an old friend. and oc- caeionally he pins in a. sociable game, bat as a rule he ls not led into temp- tation in the hope of beating some- body else out of money or or acquir- ing in any irregular way money or property which he knows does not belong to him. Taken altogether the city mark, whether the victim of confidence or of cupidity, is no improvement what- ever upon the country mark. He is more numerous and he is quite as much a greenhorn. He is to he found in every circle of city lite, from the highest to the lowest. The avenues by which he may be approached are almost lnnumerublv. He is victimized on every hand and at every hour or the day. Sometimes he fails because he cannot say no. Sometimes he is gathered in because his pride is piqued. Sometimes he becomes a. mark because he is overpersatuied by an impressive talker. Sometimes be en- rolls himself among the suckers be- cause he thinks he sees an opportun- lty to head ott somebody else or to get poms-ion of comedian? which he is (unarmed to pay or at its true v as. In whctever guise the tempter may appear, the city man who dos not Meme a mark occa- uionally is an exception an dlt to pro- bable that not a. few work overtime at the Minoan. More Common Than the Country Kind So much cannot be said in behalf ot the city man who rittds himself arrayed in the great fraternityol marks. Generally @911ka, he is too wine to be caught with any bait which appeals to his sympa- thy or his humanity. He is well ia- formed as to alt of those games. He has read about them in the nowa- papers, and, men it he had not, his training and his familiarity with the false pretenses ot city lite would put him on his guard against them. Where he generally my; is in cases prom- ising large an immediate gains without too much consideration as to the means to be employed to that and. The countryman, on the other hand, is never quite sure that he has been swlndied until after he has seen an account of his experiences in the newspapers and has had repeated in- terviews with the police. FDven then he retains a distinct recollection of the ummbility of his new-found friends and is wholly alive to the possibility that, in épite of the bad reputation given to them by the police, they may reappear and make 30319 very obvious expluna.tlon. . The anon-keeper who was no as- tounded by the discovery that he had become a sucker and a. mark need not take on so outrageously about It. A sucker la born every min- ute in tho city as well tut In the coun- try. lilrHenti, he was toreordaitted to play tho role. There is another difference between the city mark and the country mark. The former knows when he has been swindled. He generally suspects it be- fore the Job Is complete. Be Is so well aware that he has made a. fool ot himself that In most cases he never tells anybody about it. He needs no advice and he does not crave any sympathy. Be simply makes up Ills mind to be more careful in the future and to get even it possible: _ it it were possible to secure a list of all the confidence games that are successfully played in this town for one month it would be found that the victims, would comprise ten city men to one countryman. The city man who is taken in by some appar- ently clever device is something more than a. mark and a sucker. He swal- lows everything in sight. He mort- gages his home and pawns his wife’s Jewelry. He risks money that he can- not anord to lose, and, unhappiiy. he sometimes risks money that does not belong to him.
