DON'T BE FOOLISH
Is the Advice Given Clarksville
People by Counterfeiters.
Many People Receiving Letters FROM
New York Gang Of Green
Goods Men.

George Buck, the Greenwood ave-
nue. millionaire brick manufacturer,
has called ON the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
to defend him against the pestiferous
schem;ng Of gang OF arch villains.
His character has been assailed and
he has worn out much shoe leather In
carrying certain Letters received BY
him from the postofiice. There are
lot OF "green goods" men In New
York who have been laying for him
several months, and have bothered
him no little with their attentions,
which have been showered upon him
unsolicited. The letters he Is re-
celving start out by saying that I'VE
are In possession Of a good thing and
with your confidential and friendly
cooperation we can make You inde-
pendently rich, and at the same time
benefit our own condition. The en-
closed newspaper. clipping gives all
the information that could be desired
and explains ITSELF"
The newspaper clipping alluded to
goes on to show how much trouble
the Government agents at Washing
ton are having with counterfeiters.
The bills turned out by the counter
feiters are printed from plates stolen
from the Government, and OF course
20 In the money market. After max
ing this statement, the letter says:
"There is no reoson why y0n
should be slave and toll all your
life for nothing; the opportunity is
here for you to relieve yourself from
poverty and benefit yourself In o
substantial way.
"Don't be foolish enough to let
conscientious scruples interfere with
your aim In Lie, but strike while the
iron is hot. Few men ever obtain
riches honestly, others have grown
rich around you (no one knows how,
why not you? A hint to the wise Ia
sufficient. You will see from the
description that my goods are not
what the law can class as real counter
feits, as they are printed from gen
uine plates, and can be passed Ia
your section OF the country and no
Oae need be the wiser how how you
make your money, II you keep your
business to yourself. / want you to
weigh every word I say to you care
fully, as person without the AL
mighty dollar Is thought but little Of
and Is looked upon as Of no impor-
tance in this world.
"Now, the prices quoted on these
bills are az follows;
1890 gets three thousand, $500 gets
Ave thousand, $3.50 buys ten thous-
and, $1,000 buys thirty thousand.
The sizes run from "One" to
"Twenty." $500 worth OF my goods
is positively the smallest amount I
will sell under any circumstances.
II you will invest $3.50 or more will
agree to give you the exclusive State
right"
As MIR. Buck is not Ia this kind Of
business, he would be obliged to the
men who are sending him such let
ters IL they would keep them st
home. Many more Clarksville pe0-
pie have received the same kind Of
letters recently from New York, and
all OF them give the address OF the
sender as John Dadd, 2i72 Eighth
avenue.

For one dozen and half rolls, use
one quart of flour, two tablespoonfuls
of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar,
half a teaspoonful of salt, the whites OF
two eggs, one-fourth of cupful (half

How the Map Of Peking Was Made.

How military map of Picking was Sc
cretly made is told by General Sir Robert
Biddulph. During the China war Of
1860, in which Sir Robert was engaged,
our army was greatly embarrassed by
the absence of any map of the city. But
it happened that the Russian legation
had, only few months before, con-
trived to make map in spite of the
jealous watchfulness of the Chinese.
They had sent an officer, in a small
covered cart, such as they use to carry
their women about, completely covered
in. An indicator was attached to the
wheel He drove for certain distance
to a certain crossroad, for example, and
"took shot" with his instrument; then
down the next road, and in that way
made a complete plan of Picking, with all
its streets and roads, both in the Tartar
city and in the Chinese city. General
Ignatieff, who PRODUCED the map, offered
its use to the English. There were no
photographers then attached to the
army; but an Italian photographer, who
had followed the army for his own pri-
vate purposes, being set to work, pro-
duced number of copies, which proved
extremely serviceable.

Up to the time of our civil war this in

Indeed, its full development may be
said to have occurred during the past
fifteen years. The American people

the meats in the cans while cold, after

a much better result was found to come
from putting the meat into the cans

What is /" HOme!N

London Tit Bits offered prize for
the best definition of home. Here are
some of the best of 5000 answers sent
in:
The place where all husbands should
be at night.
Home is the blossom of which heaven
is the fruit.
A world of strife shut out, world of
love shut in.
Where you are treated best and you
grumble most.
The best place for married man
after business hours.
A golden setting in which the bright
est setting is mother"
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, the mothers world.
The center of our affections, around
which our hearts best wishes Irvine.
The place where the great are
sometimes small and the small often
great
A working model of heaven, with
real angels in the form of mothers and
wives.
The Jewel casket containing the
most precious of all iewels-domestic
Happiness.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of char
ity.
Home is the cosiest, kindliest, sweet
est place in all the world, the scene OF
our purest earthly joys and deepest sor-
rows.
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill of the world where we can
be shielded from its cares and annoy
ances.
A popular but paradoXical institution
in which woman works in the absence
of man and man rests in the presence
of woman.
A hive in which, like the industri-
Gus bee, youth gamers the sweets and
memories of life for old age to mediate
and feed upon.
An arbor which shades when the
sunshine of prosperity becomes too daz-
cling; a harbor where the human bark
fnds shelter in the time of adversely.
The source of comfort which youth
does not fully appreciate, which the
young men and maidens lovingly de-
sire, which the middle-aged generally
possess, which the old rightly value.
Home is central telegraph office of
human love, into which run innumer-
able wires of affection, many of which,
though extending thousands of miles,
are never disconnected from the one
great terminus.
Many of the foregoing are good.
Yet some of our boys, here in America,
if asked for a good definition of home,
would answer that it was good place
to seek when every other door is closed
to them. Too true; alas, too true

A Moving Tail.

fascinating and wonderfully intelligent
dog named Lion, who shows plainly that
he knows just what is said to him, and
also what is said about him to others.
He manages 10 do considerable talking
with his tall and conversation took
place one day, when lady called on
his mistress, that amused the visitor
very much. During her call, Lion
walked into the parlor with an air of
being the right dog in the right place,
laid himself comfortably down on the
soft carpet, and closed his eyes in great
content.
"What handsome dog you have!"
said the lady, as her eyes rested on the
noble looking animal.
Lion opened one eye at this.
Yes" replied his mistress; sand
what is still better, he is very good
dog, and takes excellent care of the
children"
The other eye was opened now, and
Lion waved his tail to and fro along the
carpet.

How They Carry Their Money.

81 can tell you the business of six men
out of every ten who come in here, and
the social standing of all of them, from
the way they carry their money" said
Broadway ticket seller for one of the
sound steamboat lines to a reporter.
"Did you ever think how much of a
persons individuality is expressed in his
method Of carrying his money? l see
people every day get at their change
and have made study of it.
THAT man. said the ticket seller, as
an old gentleman who had purchased a
pasteboard good for a trip to Boston
went out, sis retired banker. Did you
notice that he carried his money in a
long morocco pocketbook? That pocket
book is always carried in the inside
pocket of his coat, on the right side. 1t
contains a number of bright, clean bills,
all neatly smoothed and laid out at full
length and right side up. He never

the bills twice. His roll is never large,
but he has enough ON hand to meet any
emergency.
1.-The clubmen invariably carry a roll
of clean five dollar hills in their vest
pocket, where they can be easily reached.
Some carry only gold. James Brown

may be laid out straight and covered
with calfskin flap from either side.
"The man who carries change in his
coat pockets has been car conductor
at some time or other. The fellow who
draws ten cent pieces from every pocket
in his clothes is peanut man or vender
of small wares.
1.-The women, too, have variety of
ways to carry their money, though their
lack of pockets limits their vagaries in
that direction. The young woman with
fluffy hair, who has the price of her
ticket rolled tightly in her palm, has a
mysterious storage place for money
somewhere. When she is not spending
it she puts it where no man will ever go
after it, but the place is accessible to
