ffofa the Chicago Journal
1t has been left for two North Side
schoolboys TO bring out some of the hidden
beauties of Macaulay's lay OF ancient
Rome, "Horatius at the Bridge" Boy pu-
pills everywhere are particularly fond OF
the swinging measures OF this poem. a
fact which led Chicago teacher to give
his students one of the poets virile STAN
drawing class. The verse given out was
this:
So he sp&ke. and. speaking sheathed
Inc good sword by his side,
And with his harness his hack
Plunged headOng in the tide.
Some of the pupils did well in depicting
Horatius buffeting with the yellow Tiber
IN his full armor dressed, but IL was left
for one literal youth 20 do the subject fun

tiayed the brave Roman swimming strong

The other schoolbOy, whose verbal inter-
probation of one Of Macaulay's lines was
equally apt, is the son of one of Chicago :
best known educators. His father read
Horatius in the home circle. now and again
questioning the boy as to his understand

Big French Counterfeiting scheme.
l.. IL. Il

From the New York Herald
French officials in Algeria have just I'M
earthed a most daring band of forgers. We
are told that the band Is composed Of skill
full forgers Of all countries, that its head
quarters are at Oran. and that it has put
in circulation forged money amounting to
G0WO,000 francs. The band consists OF 4
hundred members. fifteen Of whom are now
in prison. Besides the regular members
there were several persons On the pay roll
whose duty il was TO circulate the forged
money in the principal cities Of Europe.
Only silver money was made. and only
tools of the finest quality were used.
Moreover. il is said that the forged pieces
of money contained exactly the same
amount Of silver as the money cast at the
treasury in Paris. Yet st is estimated that
the forgers realized a profit Of 80 per cent
on every coin which they placed in circui<t-
ton. A French expert says on this sub
ject:
'Ninety-eight out Of every hundred forg-
ers Will confine their operations to silver
money, for the reason that only the most
skilled expert can hope 10 forge gold money
a coin. say 5-franc piece. and make per-
feet mold of it, and into this mold, after
ii is dry, they pour an alloy, which has
much as possible the appearance and the
density of silver. This alloy is composed OF
common metals, like tin and zinc, though
real silver is sometimes used"

THE NEW CUP DEFENDER.

The new cup defender now rapidly
being built is confidently expected TO
be the most remarkable and unique sail
ing vessel ever turned out from 2hy
establishment. Its construction has
been kept profound secret, but it Is
whispered that it will easily hold the
cup-another triumph for the versatile
Yankees. America is rapidly coming to
the front in all things, and when she
gets there she stays. \ good example
of this is her famous household remedy.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has
defended health for half Il century past.
In spite of many limitations, no ether
remedy has been able to wrest the cup
of success from it. 1t holds the cham
pionship OF America for the. quick de
feat of all stomach ills such rs mall
gestion, constipation. nervousness, Er-
iousness, liver and kidney troubles. 1t
is also an excellent preventive and cure
of malaria and fever and ague. 1t IS
strongly recommended to everyone at
this time of the year.

considered favorable, in view of the
pronounced weakness developed here
yesterday. Following the opening call
there was Il general advance of to ,

yesterday oversold themselves. The
movement was facilitated by light for
eign buying. Very soon, however, the
market turned easier and declined to
4 points from the top prices under Il
disposition TO liquidate in view of the
general favorable tenor of the crop and

ports reaching here from Southern spot
markets indicated a more or less gen
eral disposition to unload supplies of ac-
tuai cotton. while spot buyers were i'll
clined to retreat. Local sentiment be-
came decidedly bealish, but selling was
not active. Gradually the market be-
came quieter. and during the afternoon
the local contingent had the situation
pretty much to themselves. At no time
during the session, however, was there
any broad speculative interest. The
close was steady ut unchanged prices, to

RENVILLE COUNTY EXCITED.
Gov. Lind May Be Asked to Veto
Salary Repeal Bill.

The passage Of H. F. 500, repeating the
Renville county salary law, has caused
a general expression of indignation from
the Renville county people, from the fact
that the bill was put through by Repub-
lican legislators who had gone on record
as being opposed to any change in the
county salary law. The proposition was
one of the hot local issues at the last
election. The Democrats claim their
convention went on record as favoring
the present system of paying the sal
aries of county. officials. Ae few days
later circular was issued. signed by
every Republican on the ticket, supple
mented with big headlines, "A Lie Nailed;
Warning to Voters; Reply to Democratic
Roorback,' asserting that the statement
that the Republicans were in favor of
repeating the law was false and of Dem
ocratic origin. The circular in flaming
type, put the entire Republican county
ticket on record as being in favor of al
lowing the law to stand.
The bill was passed a few days ago by
both houses, and was fostered by Repre-
sentative Peterson.
Bad faith is being charged OF the Re-
publican delegation from the district
and even the Republicans are thoroughly
disguised with the breach of faith on the
part of Mr.. Peterson.
There is a strong probability that Gov
Lind will veto the bill. A delegation is
expected from Renville Monday after
noon to present the facts to the governor
as they exist.
