In Warren connty a clever rascal baa
been playing a new dodge on farmers. He
pays each f armor a dollar for chickens, writ-
ins them a receipt in pencil, sruicn wouia
invariably break off just before reaching the
signature. Thea be would produce a foun

farmer sign In ink. Soon after he erased all

such cotes to a bank."
