Pluck in the race for success has
long since distanced luck. Enterprise
goes forward. with steady tread, and
reaches the goal. while timidly stands
covering before every adverse
wind. To appreciate what
pluck, energy and enter
prise has accomplished, visit to THE
LEADER book bindery will disclose.
Starting not yet year ago. with no
plant, it has gone steadily forward.
and overcoming all obstacles it, to-day,
invites competition. There is, 10 the
cities, no more complete plant. or one
that does better or finer work. 1t is a
Richmond in the field, who has come
to stay. and to conquer too, though an
hundred Richards may contend.
The indery is presided over by a
foreman, who is an expert, and who
gives IL his closest personal attention.
In The LEADER plant an actual
working force of twenty-seven is kept
continually busy, and this force repre-
sents weekly pay roll of s4OO. The
bindery is supplied with the most i'm
proved machinery. and is capable, and
does turn out, as fine specimens of
work as any bindery in the United
states. One of the great points scored
by it, is that owing to its completeness
and the systematic clock work with
which it is carried on, it can afford to
bid as low as the lowest The motto
of its proprietors being to make liv-
ing profit from its patrons and not n
killing loss to them.
The field of operations of the bind
cry have continually increased, and it
not only bids for work in Oklahoma
Territory land it always bids the
lowest, too,) but its trade extends to
several of the Southern Kansas coun-
ties. The travelling repre- sentative,
Mr.. ii. A. Platt, is on the road all the
while, and, owing to strict business
methods, he has been more than sue
cessful The enter prise is only
the nucleus of what its proprie-
tors intend making it. The
field is large one and they
intend covering it fully. Their enter
prise warrants them in hoping for the
best results. There is no reason for
St Lor's and Kansas City houses
doing the work that home enterprise
can % just as well, and possibly bet
ter ale country Is increasing every
day in'popnlation and wealth, and the
demand must perforce keep pace with
the country's growth.
THE LEADER bindery is ready to un-
dertake any character of work, and to
guarantee that it will do the work in
such manner as TO please the most
fastidious.

The police of Williamsburg, N. V,
are trying to capture a fek who
goes around in female at uS

manner demands aims. He called
upon Mrs. Tappan the other night
and. after frightening her and her two
daughters half to death, ran out the
area way. He next appeared at the
house of William Guilfoyle. Mr. Gull
foylc answered the ring of the base
ment bell. and when he opened the
door the fellow, in gruff tone, de-
manded some money.
Guilfoyle turned up the hall light
and recognized his visitor as Oscar
Moses a disreputable man who last
summer frequently annoy ed and in
suited women at Coney Island, and
whom Justice Newton sent to the
Kings county penitentiary for four
months for disorderly conduct At
that time Moses wore female attire.

Pathetic Life story.

A pathetic life story was finished in
the town of Armenia, N. Y, recently
by the death of Catharine Maloney
For over thirty years she has mourned
the death of her only son. who was
killed in the civil war. The shock of
his death unhinged her mind, and she
fell into n state of melancholy. She
carried her sons picture constantly
with her. and on moonlight nights
would sit in lonely places gazing on it
and begging for him TO come back TO
her. Her ruling thought was strong
In death. for the picture, stained al
most beyond recognition, was found
tightly clasped in her stiffened fingers
several hours after her death.

Toledo Fire Swept.

A FIRE which caused loss of 81. 300, 900,
sweeping out several of the largest busi-
ness blocks In the city and causing the
probable loss of two lives, began in Toledo,
Ohio, at o.: 80 o'clock Wednesday night
The Western Union was completely
burned out and the Postal was un-
able TO take messages News of the FIRE
was sent by long distance telephone and the
Western Union at Detroit The fire COM
menced on the river front OF L. NJ Quales'
and was probably caused by an
explosion OF dust For some unexplained
reason the fremen we're anuoyingly slow
in getting the alarm, and when they
arrived at the scene the flames had
possession of the top story of the
great elevator Five minutes after the
first line of hose was laid four ex-
plosions followed each other in quick sue
cession, and fire issued from all sides Of
the building. The fremen experienced
considerable delay in getting water on the
blaze. and before they realized the CRAWL
ty of the situation they were helpless.
Every engine in the city was called. and
help asked from Detroit But the depart
ment OF the latter city we're engaged with
big fire, and could not respond.

A Remarkable "Artist."

The feelings of the government detec-
tives were much shocked three weeks
ago by the turning up of counterfeit
treasury note for 500. 1t was the
series of 1880, check letter A, with the
head of Lincoln on the face. 1t was the
latest contribution from remarkable
artist, who has been puzzling the au-
thoritics for more than decade Like
all of his other productions in this line.
it was done entirely in pen and ink. 1t
was actually accepted as genuine at a
United States sub-treasury and was sent
thence to Washington for redemption.
One of the experts in the redemption
division of the treasury, Miss Alma Q.
Smith, discovered it, and the teller who
took it in at the sub-treasury will lose
500 by the transaction. The counter
felt will not bear close scrutiny, the imi-
tated lathe engraving being only a mass
of pen scratches, but it has the danger
GUS quality of good general appear
ance.
This pen-and-ink artist is a most ex-
traordinary individual. Up to date he
has produced about twenty-five such
counterfeits. They all reach the treas
ury eventually, anu SeVerai specimens OF
his handiwork arc on exhibition at the
office OF the secret service here. Four
out of five of his notes have been twen-
ties, and there have been two fifties.
The new one is the only one for 500
that he has yet turned out. He makes
them at the rate of two year, appar-
emily, and il must take nearly all of his
time to do the work, which is evidently
executed under high power magnify
ing glass. OF course the labor cannot
be profitable, and it is supposed that he
does it for amusement. 1t is his little
fad. Inasmuch as they come from all
parts of the country, it must be that he
is gentleman of leisure and travels
from city to city. Little hope is enter
tanned Of ever catching him, and it is
likely that he will always remain mys-
terry Washington Star.
