Anyway, the quaint statement is true. That good-looking lad whose good father sent him to a store in Philadelphia for a suit of clothes found what he wanted and asked for a button on the coat to be changed and a bill sent to his father for $35 instead of $25, the actual price, saying he would call and take his clothes when the bill-was paid and take the $10. Thus had he planned to cheat his own father. Once start along the lanes of dishonesty and deception and there's no telling what the next step will be, but the end is certain to be such as of that man in jail in New York who, by wearing 'the dress ofa British army officer and making false presentations, swindled a dozen storekeepers. .
