It the promoter can only secure the name of some well-known man in un- nection with his money-maker, either na stockholder, director, or president. the public is ready to take an : 1 . est. Ex-Mayor George R. Swift was talking with a party of friends in ter rotunda of the Great Northern telling of the army of men schemes who called upon him. "le- fore Col. G. R. Davis died we were d'. . rissi g th's ever-present man." said Mr. Swift. "The colonel bad them call upon him by the score. Itis rather fun y to listen to some of their stories. 11 he wants is just your name, not a cent of nioney, you know. Hle will make you president of the company. which will make anywhere from $2 0. to $1.0 ,00 a year. You do not need to sign a paper, all you need do is to draw your pay and spend the money. Sometimes I find myself nearly believing these fellows, as their Turns are so good."

Things Looked Dark.

A very agreeable talker, an educated colored man, addressed the students at Adelbert college the other day, says the Cleveland I'lain Dealer. He talked in- terestingly abont bis experience in his chosea profession, that of a lawyer, assert'rg that on but one occasion he ever met with discourtesy al the hards of while men during his legal expe- rience in his native state, Virginia. This happened in a backwoods hamlet, where the general ignorance of the inhabi :- ants was some excuse for their hoorish- ness. la the course of his remarks he perpetrated an unconscious humor that brought a smile to the students' faces. and drew a langh from the speaker him- seif as soon as he realized the sugges- tion in his statement, "I started out In my profession with somewhat gloomy anticipations, " he said. "When I reached Alexandria, where there were 7,000 col- ored people, everything looked dark." It was at this point that the smile ran around.
