standing outside. Eyes, that IS the one,"
he replied. "He came INTO my store, at 2Sl3
Leavenworth street, this afternoon, and
ordered sack of flour and watermelon to
be delivered to 1910 Park avenue. He ten.
dered check for S7.75 drawn TO the order of
G. w. Cook and signed by Max Meyer & Co.
l took the check and gave him S. rs in

that the check did not look right, and / ran
after him. He took the check without a
word and gave me back tho money"
The young man is Fred &. Copeland, who
has been living with his parents on South
Tenth street, near CASTELAR,. His parents

signed by the firms of Max Meyer a. Co.,
Freeland, Loomis & Co. and McCord, Brady

ranging from $5 to $40. His method of oper-
alton was to go into grocery or fruit store
and buy one or two articles, ordering them
sent to some imaginary place. He seemed to
have penchant for watermelons and flour.
When the checks came TO the banks they
were thrown out and referred to the house
whose name was signed on them. They were
reported TO the police, and Detectives Ormsby
and Mostyn were detailed TO investigate The
matter, A description was obtained from
the various victims. and Copeland was finally
located. A decoy letter was sent him, tellin 6
him to meet a certain party last night at the
corner of Fifteenth and Douglas. He came

station with him, but when they reached the
corner of Fourteenth and Capital avenue

He acknowledges the whole affair and says
he has passed about twenty-seven checks.

only about 800. The young man gives

The members of the Southern Social club
do not apparently take the interest in their
society that it deserves. At the final meet
ing for perfecting the organization, held last
Tuesday evening, only fourteen of the sew
enty members were present The reason for
this is given by some that there are no re-
strictions on membership and therefore very
undesirable persons may join. The provl-

On that last night under the linden treel

Turned back in his progress to frown at
Only yearl Then the rose she wore
Was a wild one worn in the hedgerow
Not the gorgeous bloom from the hot-house

That is breathing its fragrance tonight in
her hair.
And he, that old man, is her husband, you

With the world softly smiling, appiauding

Where loves out of date, and considered

Why reproach herl Why curse at the Jewels

Tonight round her neck in glittering

What ftter gem, on the chain of her life
To sparkle and burn, than the heart OF a
