MRS. GALES DOUBLE.
Adopts Her Name for Swindling
Wanted by
the Police.

Mrs. Gale. a hard working colored wo-
man of No. 50 Bergen avenue has a
double who has been causing her much
worriment of mind during the past few
days. The double Is also wanted by the
Greenville police Pm a charge of obtain
Ing money under false pretences. Mrs.
Gale first became aware Of the exist
ence of the double on December II
through an article in a New York news
paper. in which she was charged with
obtaining money from w~ell-known New
York citizens upon the plea that her
home in this city had been destroyed
by fire and that she and her family
were without shelter. She was also
charged with visiting st. Paul's Chapel
at No. 20 Vesey street and soliciting aid
from Vicar w. M. Geer. who knew her
eight years ago when she was employed
as a domestic at oyster Bay. L. l.
While Mrs. Gale was busy preparing
a reply to the article in question, Vicar
Greer sent a letter to Captain Nugent,
of the Greenville police. telling him of
the woman who purported to be Mrs.
Gale, and requesting that the matter
be investigated. Mrs. Gales double
gave as her address No. "a Myrtle ave-
Bowers. No. IS. Ocean avenue. Mounted
Policeman Mackey was detailed on the
case. and he reported that he found a
lot at each of the above adj
dresses. No one could be found who
had ever known a Mr.. Charles Bowers.
but Mrs. Gale was found Al No. 81 Ber-
gen avenue. She said that she had read
the article in the New York paper, and
denied emphatically that she was the
person referred to. She said that she
would visit Vicar Geer the next day, n
she did SO. As a result Captain Nu-
gent received on Friday last a letter
from the Vicar in which the Vicar sta
ted that he was satisfied that Mrs. Gale
was not the woman who had visited
him seeking subscription. Vicar Geer
added that he knew Mrs. Gale when
she lived at Oyster Bay, eight years
and that after questioning her
closely was satisfied that she never
called upon any one for assistance.
He enclosed a letter from a Mr.. Under
hill. of New York, in which Mr.. Under
hill stated that he had given $40 to a
woman who represented herself to be
Mrs. Gale and who said hat he had
sent her to him for a subscription.
The Greenville police nave Investigated
the matter thoroughly, n find that
neighbors and bears an excellent p
tation. Mrs. Gale knows no n re-
sembling her closely, and shares with
the police the hope that her unscrup-
double will be found. The New
York police have been notified to look
out for the woman.

lives are rounded by home? Women who
lave to turn out so early and so hastily

they leave for the days trials: Good

to these same rooms at night and find
them dark, and often still as they were
left in the morning? Who, when Sunday
comes, have to utilize the day for mend
ing and stitching and fixing up the rents
and the pinned up places of the week?
Who have to work Sunday nights on the
only decent gown which they laugh at
when it is fixed, for they wonder when
they can wear it and where?
women of the city who live at home,
and their mothers or sisters attend to the
little wants. But the majority Of them

Did you even find 1t necessary to give
a child a dose of castor oil? Did you
ever long for some magic power to force
the nauseating mixture down the throat
of the little obstinate. squeezing, sput-
tering -youngster? Try administering the
dose insthe form of castor oil biscuit or
gingerbread, and the difficulties are cas-
lily overcome. Take one-fourth OF a
sugar, a small quantity of spice and an
ounce and a half of castor oil. Mix all
together. roll 1T out and CIT it into ten
cakes. Bake them quickly in a hot oven.
Each cake will contain a good dose of
castor oil pleasantly disguised. One or
more Of the cakes may be given at a
time, according to the age of the child.
instead Of sngar. castor oil glngernnts
may be made, and the children will eat
them readily without p~erceiving the
