Chicago Portrait Company Pla ylng m Dangerous Game. There are all aorta of schemes and all sorts of schemers who resort "to ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" in endeavoring to extort money from an unsuspecting public, and Clackamas county, in the state of Oregon has been a regular mecca for these swindlers, who seek to fleece honest people out of jiard earned coin, for a good many months past. Among recent attempts of this sort the pastel portrait business is prob ably as bad as the worst. A few days ago a sleek looking agent for "The Chi cago Portrait Company, called at the home of a prominent lady in Gladstone. He talked glibly and put up as good a "spiel" as the av erage .fakir, but the lady had noth ing in the portrait line that needed en larging and she told the agent so.. The agent was not to be put off with a sim ple and emphatic "no," and persisted that she ought to have the picture of her little girl enlarged. He actually went into rhapsodies over the photo, and fi nally, after seeing that he could get no orders from that source, told the lady that he would take the picture and have it enlarged at the Company's own expense, just as an advertisement. . The lady demuired. She waa afraid that if he took the picture she would never get it back, and -efused to allow the agent te take it. In the mean time the agent had picked up the picture and put it in his pocket and waa walk ing out the door. The lady pro testod, pleaded almost frith tears in her eyes, but the wily scoundrel simply laughed at her and carried the picture away with him.
