A Philadelphia Timtt reporter has been looking up some of the swindlers of tbat city, and thus describes one of them. Having observed tbe following advertisement in one of tbe papers: $200--Good men, with capital, wanted at Westbrook Table Sauce Factory, Poplar street," the reporter decided to invest his surplus earnings, and so paid him a visit. Tbe sauce factory is not an extensive establishment. A diminutive room Is filled with boxes, tasily shaken and therefore empty, and bottles of black liquid, supposed to be the famous sauce itself. The name over the door ia L.

Westbrook." The bottles are variously labeled, some L. Westbrook, 2CC West Nineteenth street. New York;" others, and evidently the most recently labeled, Mrs. L. Wcstbrook, Philadelphia." Our friend then comes from New York, nnd now, for gome reason, he uses bia wife's name.

A small sized tank iti a little rear room completes tbe "factory." Mr. Westbrook enters. He looks like a Yankee, but he is really from tho west. He is about fifty years of age and honest looking. Tbo reporter mentioned seeing his advertisement, and was about question ing him, when he broke in abruptly and began telling about the enormous business he had done during the day.

His Block was completely sold out, Fourteen hundred stores in town were taking and paying for his sauce. The people demanded it. Figures can't lie, so he produced several pass books containing the address of probably every grocery store in town. The addresses were written down. How could such a bus iness be fraudulent? The reporter began to modestly refer to his little savings.

The great sauce man interrupted him with tales of the manner in which bis life was burdened by a superabundance of trade. He evidently did not want to be too precipitate. The reporter casually mentioned that be had $1,600 laid by, but if be only wanted a partner with $200, who-" I no; the $200 advertisement was only intended to apply to salesmen, who for tbat sum can obtain a slock of sauce." Mr. Westbrook evidently wanted all of tbe newspaper man's surplus earnings. He had a call that morning, be said, from a gentle man who desired to invest $2,000 in I be business.

Bat I em not a knave, so I to) him tbat we could not use more than Sl.OOl advantageously." Tbe reporter inquired what sum would make him a partner. A thousand dollars only were necessary. How kind to prefer him to the man with 52,000 Why, here is an invention of mine that is worth $60,000. You get a half interest in that." Mr. Westbrook showed the inquirer an arrangement to wash forty bottles in "double quick" time.

Well, Mr. Westbrook, what security will you give for tbe "Security? Why, we will sign articles of co-partnership. You keep one copy and I keep one. I have tome blank forms here." He produced a roll of paper. Actually blank forms of co-partnership formed part of his stock in trade.
