A Swindle-LoOk Ort for Bogus Checks.

THE Detroit Tribune tells of a swindle
recently perpetrated upon various people
and numerous banks in the interior of
Michigan. 1t says:
Several weeks since a gentlemanly APP
pearing man called at a stationery house
in this city and ordered a book printed
containing 1000 checks He represented
that he and others had organized the
Eaton County Savings Bank, at Eaton
Rapids, and gave the name of some we'll
known business men of that place, to
whom he referred.
"SuppOsing the man to be all right,
preparations were at once made to fill his
order, but as the checks had to be sent
Ito New York in sheet form to be stamped,
some delay occurred in completing the
lob. Ia the meantime the man called
several times, and finally, having to all
appearance become impatient, ordered
the check book to be sent by express to
the Eaton County Savings Bank, and
| when it was bound ready for delivery it
was sent as directed.
-Four days after being shipped, a por-
ton OF the book was found in a stone
yard near the Board Of Trade building,
on Woodbridge street. The cover had
| been torn off and it was otherwise mutt
lated and 800 checks had been cut
out. As it bore the imprint
the stationery house alluded to, the book
was conveyed to their store, and they at
! once wrote to one of the business men at
Eaton Rapids whose name was used by
the chief swindler and received a reply
that no bank Of the name referred to
| existed there. The matter was then placed
in the hands Of the police for investiga-
ton, but as considerable time had elapsed
since the swindle was inaugurated, they
were unable to discover the perpetrators.
"The checks appear as if genuine, be
| ing printed in the usual style. and con-
| tanning the United States revenue stamp
| in the center. So far as is now positively
known, one check for 1920 has been cashed
! by Hillsdale bank, and another for $40
in Cleveland, this State. 1t is expected
that from this time forward these bogus
checks will be turning up in various parts
of the country, and all persons should
| give them wide berth. The checks pur-
port to be of the Eaton County Savings
Bank of Eaton Rapids, Mich, and are
drawn on the Fourth National Bank of
New York. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to
add by way Of conclusion that there is no
such institution as the Eaton County
Savings Bank in existence"

A Terrible Punishment.

Mr. James Greenwood has published a
frightful account of the silent system
which is in opera ion at the Holloway
Model Prison, in London:
1t is an offense for a prisoner to speak
one word, and he is never addressed eX.
cept in whispers, so that he may be in
prison two years without hearing the
natural sound of the human voice. The
effect of all this is so terrible on the mind
that prisoners will speak out in despera-
ton, at the risk Of any punishment, rather
than endure that horrible silence
The prisoners never see one another,
but remain in perpetual solitude One
poor wretch, driven to desperation by
nine months solitude and silence. reck-
lessly broke out, in Mr. Greenwood's pre-,
sence:
For Gods sake, Governor, put me in
another cell Put me somewhere else.
Eve counted the bricks in the cell | am in
till my eyes ache
The request of the tortured wretch was
refused
There is fine hole in each cell, and as
the wardens wear shoes of India rubber
soles, the prisoners can never be sure of
being alone.
Those condemned to the treadmill have
to ascend 1900 steps every alternate
twenty minutes for six hours. And this
in a place so hot and close that prisoners
often lose in perspiration three stones in
as many months
Every day the prisoners are taken to a
chapel so arranged that they can see no
one save the chaplain, and him only
through an iron grating. And thus is the
order of devotion observed WardenS are
constantly on the watch, lest for single

IHE SkEPTICAL CoNvINCED.-Everva advance

Galen and Jenner only were believed when
they had proved their discoveries against OPP

always make believers. No incredulity can
STAND the silent argument of good results.
" men DIR. Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medicinal herbs of California an
Elixir that would regenerate the sinking sys-
TEN and cure diseases not organic. the incred-
ulous shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR

the Western World. The truth could not be
resisted. Under the operation of the new
remedy, Dyspeptics regained their health, APP
petlte and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pated were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic rapidly
recovered; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula was
eradicated! Who could gainsay facts like
these! Not even the Faculty Skepticism
was routed. All doubts as to the claims of
the Bltters to the first place in the first rank
OF modern medicines were silenced, and this
wonderful preparation is to-day the most pop

cine, and no household should be without it.

Why She Refused.

You say you went to party last night,
and YOU saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend,
whom YOU had not seen since she and
your sister were at school together. You
had very pleasant talk until supper,
when you gave her your arm and took her
to supper When some one came along
with a few glasses Of wine on waiter and
offered her glass, you saw her shudder
as she said "No!" and you wondered why
Mrs. Smith, who didn't use TO be particu-
lar about such things, not only refused,
but shuddered when she said No! You
cannot tell why? | can tell why. You

She was very gay and seemed very glad

the evening. l can tell you where she
went after the party was over. She went

She was glad it was late, for her husband
had not come home. She sat and read
for an hour, and her husband did not
come. She wrote for an hour, and her

What is Intilt.

DURING the earlier visits of the royal

IN very simple manner, was crossing
one of the Scotch lakes in steamer, and
was curious to note everything relating to
the management of the vessel, and among
other things, the cooking Approaching

was attending to the culinary matters, he
was attracted by the savory odors of a
compound known by the Scotchmen as
"hodge-podge," which the Highlander was
preparing.

was not known to the cook.
"Hodge-podge, sir" was the reply.

ton.

We want to believe that story from a

finally he became absolutely saturated
with quicksilver The other day while he
was standing by the side of the house, the
sun suddenly came out bright and warm
and Bull began gradually to ascend. He
stopped at the line of the sill Of the second
story window, and hung there, suspended
in space, until a thunderstorm happened
to come up, which cooled the atmosphere
and then Mr.. Bull slowly descended Now
he has graduated scale marked on the
gable-end Of his dwelling, and whenever
Mrs. Bull wants to know how warm it is
she ties tlat-irons to Henry's legs to hold
him down, and walks him around to the
gablc-end and cuts him loose and lets him
rise to eighty OF ninety degrees; and when
she gets the information she lassOes him
with the clOthes-line and hauls him down
