DO you bear the, miss" demanded
Mrs. MagrudeF when sic perceived that
that contractor of the orbiculaTis 0rls
muscle did not bulge.
Yes. she said. I am conscious Of a
vibration striking against the mem Drama

through the labyrinth until It agitates

Yes, and we will help her with our
spinatus and infrsspiralis," exclaimed
the rest Of the ciass.
Magruder's brother in the gloom of
his cupboard did not comprehend the
character Of these threats, bat he had a
vague idea that the life Of that lovely
young sawbones was menaeed by Ilre-
arms and other engines of war Of a
peculiarly deadly description. he felt
that the punishment was too severe for
the crime. Aagruder himself, he WAS
convinced, would have regarded that
orbicularis operation with courageous
fOrtitnde and heroic composure.
Mrs. Magruder then proceeded 70 give
the class practice in certain operations
in medical treatment She vaccinated
Magruder on the left arm, while one Of
the students bled his right arm and
showed her companions how 10 tie up
vein They applied leeches 10 his nose
under the professors instructions; they
cupped him on the shoulder blades; they
exercised themselves in spreading mus
tard plasters on his back; they timed
his pulse; they held out his tongue with
pinchers and examined IL with micro
scope, and two or three enthusiastic
students kept lowering round Magruder's
leg with a saw and carving knife until
Magruder's brother in retirement in the
cupboard shuddered with apprehension.
AT last Magruder began to revive. He
turned over; he sat up; he stared wildly
at the company; he looked at his wife;
then he sank back upon the sofa and
said 10 her in feeble voice:
Henrietta, somehow or other l feel
awfully funny"
Funnyl Magruders brother con-
sidered that after the performance of
the class Magruder ought To feel funny
enough to edit "a comic paper. He
emerged from the cupboard. and seizing
a chair determined TO tell the whole
story. Mrs. Magruder and the class
screamed, but he proceeded. Then up
rose Magruder and discussed the subject
with vehemence, while his brother
brandished his chair and joined in the
chorus.
Mrs. Magruder and the class cried,
and said Mr.. Magruder was a brute and
had no love for science. But Mr.. Ma
gruder said that as for himself, Hang

infatuated with it as to chop up her

Keeping Warm.

An active but not very robust city
boy was sent by his parents away up
into the north woods a few days ago
for the avowed purpose of building up
his health. He was cautioned by his
father and by the family doctor to keep
warm at night, the avoidance of chills
being especially desirable in his case.
The other day letter came from the
boy. He told his parents that he was
feeling well, eating like a horse. and
having a bully time" He also said:
''And l keep as warm as toast nights.
The other night l went to bed with all
my clothes on. wore two shirts, three
pairs of trousers, two coats, my shoes
and overshoes and cap."-New York

1t WAS Fatal.

I'm afraid of restaurants and soda
fountains" she had said III the first of
their acquaintance, and it led him to
offer himself at once, for he felt that he
could afford 10 wed such girl.
But he was disappointed. She steered
him right into the light refreshment
parlor, and the corner drug store alb
soybed all his nickeis and the small
payment-down cottage home vanished
into thin air.
One day, goaded to desperation by the
absorption of his last nickel, he said to
her:
Il thought you told me you were
afraid of summer restaurants and soda
palaces"
Il am" she said sweetly; don't ice

Cause of a National Trait.

1t is matter of common observation
that Hebrews as rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
their home life is beautiful in many
ways. As everything has cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
to me to be the severe prosecutions to
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
affording them their greatest happiness
at home. Persistent influences acting
through numberless generations would
surely institute racial popularity such
as this.-S. V. Clevenger in Science.

AFTER THE CASH
An Extensive Conspiracy to De-
fraud Several Chicago
Banks Unearthed.
Three Well Known Young Men
Arrested, but a Fourth
Makes His Escape.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The flight of George
Bartels, paying teller o. the Central Trust
and Savings bank, with the comparatively
small sum OF 50. 0oO of the banks cash has
uncarthed what seems to have been all ex-
tensive conspiracy to defraud five Chicago
banks. The scheme was partly success ul,
and over 5000 was secured from Bartes'
former employers. but has since been made
good. Another bank is said to have lost
1000 which amount was also made good.
Three men formerly connected with Chi
cago Bank Note company have been ar
rested charged with conspiracy to dtfraud
and the issuance of fraudulent paper.
These are William A. Forbes, N. w. Burn
side and Charles NJ. Anson. Bartcls was
the fourth man wanted. The preliminary
hearing is set for Thursday. Charles Mich.
OILS, a go-between, has made affidavit
which puri o:ts to expose the whole scheme.
A I'LL in chancery asking 'or the appoint-
ment Of a receiver Tor the bank NOTE con-
cern, filed by John b. Grizzlies, former
president OF the company, also throws
light upon the methods used. Forbes was
manager OF the Chicago Bank Note coMpa-
ny; burnside. son Ola we'll known ply
-sician. was associated with Forbes. Anson
was but all employe of the frm. These
young men were vouchcd for by Gen. AL
len Z. Fuller and numerous men of
WEALTH AND INFLUENCE,
who appear to have trusted them fully ow-
ing to their connection with young Burn
side. They opened accounts with the Cen.
tral Trust and Savings bank, the Globe Ma
tional bank. the State Bank o! Chicago, ihG'
First National bank and the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank. Immediately they de-
posted checks. drafts, etc. which it is
claimed have since been .o,,lid to be fraud
uleht. and later drew out the CASH by col
lusion with Bartells the great run OF the
paper was dumped OIL the Central Trust
and Savings bank. The teller, in the alb.
sence ofthe cashier, certified all paper, and
the forged drafts, checks, etc, were
only deposited when the higher
officials OF tho bank were out.
1t is said that tho plottcrs intended to pull
all the banks they had deposited money
with into Their net and thcu break up and
clear out. but the paper came to protest too
soon. According to Nichols affidavit, tho
conspirators systematically wined, dined
and clothed Bartcls besides paying the ex-
penses Of the teller and his iiends nightly
at houses oil i'll fame. Bartcls disarmed
suspicion by ingeniously warning the
bank officials that he was suspicious that
the note company was "kiting," and sug-
gesting that general guarantee OF all
transactions be secured from wealthy DIR.

worth over $40 600, 900. and Dr. Burnside,
