“Uncle Jess” Givens, 90-year-
old colored citizen, was the vic-
tim of the old “lost purse” swin-
dle Monday, and as a result of
his gullibility is out $150.00 to a
couple of negroes who swindled
him out of the money. “Uncle
Jess,” an old Union soldier,
draws a substantial pension
from the government, and this
fact evidently was known to the
swindlers.
He was approached by a
strange negro, and while he was
talking to him, the third ap-
peared with a purse in his hand
which he claimed he had just
found, which apparently con-
tained a considerable sum of
money. In the conversation that
ensued it was suggested that
the money be divided three
ways, with “Uncle Jess” to come
in for a divvy.
Of course, before a division
could be made it was necessary
for the old man to put up some
earnest money, about $150.
He was warned against letting
anyone know what he was to do
with the money, and when one
of his friends at the bank asked
him about the use of so much
money he had a plausible excuse
to offer.
It was then the same old story
—the money was taken and
would be returned along with
“Uncle Jess’s” cut on the
money that was found—and
that was the last seen of the
negroes.

GAY, colorful parties, after-
noon and evening—visits of friends
and acquaintances—extra meats with«
delicious things to eat—homes arf
radiant with laughter and joy.
At this glorious season, Natural-
(das, unobtrusively, plays an import-*
ant role. The warm, cheerful com-
fort of home is provided by gas heat
[which requires no service, no atten-
tion—which keeps the temperature
instant. ^
In the kitchen, gas lightens the
holiday baking. Cakes and cookies,
fowls and roasts, are prepared to
perfection in a modern range. Hot
Water, plentifully supplied by a mod-
ern automatic heater, also adds to
[the comfort and convenience of the
lesson by its ever-readiness.
Natural Gas provides all this ser-
vice economically. It is always ready
i
to meet the demands of comfort*
More frequent and protracted cokl
weather calls for more extensive use
of Natural Gas for heating. There3*
more entertaining—more dinners—
more evenings spent at home—more
time to enjoy the benefits of Natural
Gas service.
These extra demands on Natural
Gas cause an increase in your
monthly gas bills. But if you wiH
recall the extra service received dur-
ing the period covered by the bill,
you’ll find k a small price to pay fof
such convenience and comfort.
