cly 1 tter of advice supposa(1 to be
compiled from observations .of the plan-
ets. I I oked over the fellow's,eireulnes
and othe literature, and a mord amazing
lot 1 ba derdash I never laid eyes on. It
svas a eird jumble of astronomical
tern s, ' ccult' gibberish and modern
Ste lc E -change slang, and I defy any
hut an b +big to tell what he was_ driving
at— The was -probably the thing that
made it nipressive.
"1 trio to point out the gross absurd-
ity of th whole proposition," continued
the brok a "'This fakir,' said I, 'is

miles away and rush `through space in

human mind can never begin to conceive
the! gra ideur and their immensity, and
all ye k ow is that they have been fol-
lowing 0 t some great universal law since
the lasgin ing- of time; yet here is a little
tinatens- ha'penny confidence man in
Boston who asks you to believe that this
sI upend() is procession orworlds is set in
inetion 1 _govern the manipulations of a
ham ful 1 paltry etoelijobbers in Liver-
pool and New Orleans! It's the craziest
and -itost comical idea ever 'broached out -
Fide of asylum.' The old gentleman
ehrtigged - his shoulders. 'IIe's hit it
right a p werful lot of times,' he replied.
"I 'gay . him up as a hopeless case, but
the ueident caused me to look into the
malt r, nd upon a little. inquiry I found
18 0 20 speculators here in the city who
.were i11V isting their money regularly on
the dvi •e of Zobaria and other profes-
sion' 1 a trologers of the same stamp.
Of e nirs they represented a mere frac-
tion if tie total number 01' local clients.
The aki 'F3 sent out tips on cotton, sugar,
r
Tice, wheat and industriall stocks', all the
Jetteis beginning in about the sante way.
For xample, 'I find Mare in the ascend-
ant, indileating impending change; Ura-
nus utl Jupiter in the third plane, indi-
catin .,' riging market; Sirius conjoSins left
wingLof last horoscope,' and so on and so
on. It is hard to believe that sol.ne peo-
ple cim possibly swallow such a palpable
fraud, but I found to my surprise that a:
good flinty of the dupes were Men and
women or superior education and, ap-
parently, more than average intelligence.
"L ter on I had a clerk in my office
who ad formerly worked for an astrolo-
ger o so e note in New York city, and
lie to)d e many amusing things about
the busi ss behind the scenes'. His
'hose w e an ex -medicine man Who for
ji
years ha managed a big tent show, in
the %est for a liver regulator company.
He h d picked up a smattering-of-seien-
tific t rmsein the role of long haired doc-
tor, a d, being naturally a smart, bright
fella , hit on the 'astrology graft,' ea he
called it, and launched out for himself.
He g31 the forms for horoscopee from
an' ol English almanac or 'ephemera,'
and s business increased he had four
or fiv girls grinding them out 11 the
time. My young man told me at his
mail a's enormous and that mos of his
dupes were residents of small towns in
the e uth and west. The ex -medicine
man as ehrewd enough never tolaccept
any money for investment himself, but
confined his operations strictly to, giving
advice for which he charged $2 a letter.
The market tips were prepared for the
concern by a picturesque dipsomaniac
who used to be a prominent figure on
change, bUt had gone to the dogs and
was glad tie pick up an odd dollar wher-
ever he could. Being an expert, hie opin-
ions had some real value, and he fre-
quently hit It right. That was the gang
who 'read it in the stars.' This is a
queer •age we are living in."
