The "Free" Fllm-Flam Didn't Work.
The cheap or free picture flim-flam re
cently received a cruel set-back in Punx

story. Some time ago a man who was
enlarging pictures visited the residence
of Mart Williams. "Wo are doing some
very fine work," said the agent, "and in
order to Introduce It to the public we
make you the first picture free. We will
expect you to show tbe picture to your
neighbors, of course, and help advertise
us in that way. Tbe picture will not
cost you a cent."
Mr. Williams huuted up a picture and
gave It to the man to enlarge.
The other day be returned with the en
larged picture. It was enclosed in 1
gaudy frame.
"Of course" the man explained, "the
picture costs you nothing, but we charge
you (5 for a frame like that."
The picture is all right," said Mr,
Williams. "It pleases me first-rate.
will just take it into the other room and
see what my wife thinks of it."
And Mart went into another room, re
moved the picture from behind the glass,
and returned with the empty frame.
"My wile HKes me picture nrst.

frame, "but she thinks we cannot afford
to buy the frame. We like the picture

three more pictures here that you may
enlarge on the same terms. I am always
willing to neip a leuow along inai way
