 CINCH WAS NO FOOL

Some young men who enlisted dur. ing the war with Spain but never saw any active service were talking over their days in uniform one night last week, says the New York Sun, and told interesting stories of camp life. The young man who had been hos pital steward told this story:
 "A month in our camp in Georgia was enough to drive a man to despair, for not only was it hot, but every day increased our belief that the govern ment had no intention of giving us a chance to get into action or to let us go back to our homes. It was a mighty tough predicament for lot of young men who had left business and everything else in burst of pa- triotic enthusiasm, and expected to get into scrap in short order. The men worked every wire they could to get their discharges, but it was at q time when the man with a pull couldn't get any more than the man without a friend.
 "As hospital steward I used to hear good deal about the health of the regiment from the surgeons, and one day l was very much surprised to hear one of them say that he was afraid Cinch, of company c, was go- ing to lose his mind. l knew Cinch as a big, good-natured fellow, who tried to get a discharge as soon as he learned that we were not going to have a fight. When he failed he became sullen and moody. The more we watched him the more convinced we became that something was wrong with him. Every time we came round we found him 1numbling to himself and one day a crowd of us found him seated on stump in the middle oi n big clover field, holding in front ot him a long pole, attached to which was a piece of cord on the end ot which was a pin bent to resemble a fishhook. He would drop the hook into the long grass and let it stay there for time. Then he would ,nake>a cast and when the hook fell would sit and watch the end of lis line intently. Every once in awhile he would jerk the line out of the

CRUIKSHANK'S BANKNOTE

-- One day about the year 1918 George CruikShank was passing Newgate on his way to the Exchange, when, see ing a crowd collected, he went for- ward to learn what was the matter, and saw that it was the execution of several men and women. He was hor- rified at tl1e spectacle, and on inquir- ing, learned that the woman was being hanged for passing counterfeit one-pound notes. He learned also that this punishment was quite a common thing, even though, the poor wretches often sinned in ignorance, being the dupes of men who sent them to buy some trife and return the change to them. Wrung with pity and with shame. Cruikshank went home and immediately, under the inspiration of his feeling. sketched a grotesque carl cature of banknote. He calls it a bank restriction note-not to be imi- tated. He represents on it/a place of execution, with the spaces about filled in with halters and manacles, a figure of Britannia devouring her children, and transport ships bearing the lucky or uniucky ones who had escaped death to Van Dieman's land or Aus tralia, while the place of the well known sigma ture of Abraham Newland is that of y. Ketch.'
 He had just finished this when tis publisher, Hone, entered, and seeing it. begged to have it for publication. So CruikShank etched it and gave it to Hone, who exhibited it for sale in his window with startling effect. Crowds quickly began to gather and purchased so eagerly that the issue was soon exhausted.
 Cruikshanll was kept hard at work making more etchings, the crowds grew so great that the street was blocked, and the mayor had to send soldiers to clear it. Hone realized over seven hundred pounds in few | dayS-Good Words.

HELD FOR MURDER.

The examination of Jacob Schaum-
berger, charged with murder, was con-
cluded today. TIL: examination was
taken up yesterday morning after an
adjournment from Nov. 10Th. The cir
cult court room was used by Judge Mil
Ter in conducting the examination and
all the witnesses examined at the in
quest, together with some new ones,
gave testimony. The work was neces-
sarily slow on account of great deal
of the testimony being taken only
through:the aid of an interpreter.
After all information from witnesses
had been adduced, Judge Miller was OF
the opinion that the facts were such as
to hold Schaumberger, and he was &c
cordingly bound over to appear at the
next term of circuit court under bail OF
81 600 At the time this is written his at.
torneys are arranging for his bail bond.
The crime with which he is charged, il
will be remembered, was the shooting
of Ida AndrjewskI on the afternoon OF
Oct 25.

EVERY TOWN HAS THEM.

In the column headed Thoughts on
Things Material and Immaterial," by
Ralph H Wheelock, in the Minneapolis
Tribune of Tuesday we find the follow
ing:
WHO that values a good name and
loves his neighbors but can sympathize
with Farmer Ben, the rustic philoso-
pher of the Austin Transcript, when he
says:
There is one woman in Austin that
ought to have her tongue cut out and
labeled Mrs. But She can't say a
thing about anybody unless she attaches
a derogatory but to it. Her neighbor
is a pretty fine woman BUT she was a
little gay when she was a girl. Her
neighbours girl she likes BUT she hangs
out after the boys nights. One woman
wears a fire cloak BUT she has doubts
of inst how she earned it. Her girls
teacher is a good one But she has beau
out of school hours. One woman she
knows works hard But she is dirty in her
housekeepin.' And so it goes. Her
tongue can never say all good of any,
body, man, woman or child. | hate to
see such women round. They are vile
slanderers and traducers and injurers
of reputation by their insinuative butts,
and | just uwish Mrs. But could be
teetotally suppressed. My idea is that
if you cannot say something good OF
your neighbors then keep your mouth
shut"

Showing the Queer.

The game of counterfeiting in this
country is played by people CT all ma
tionalities. and, although some women
and children are used as tools, men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem Is how
to convert it into good money. The
maker rarely takes part in that opera
ton. 1t is the business of gangs, which
consist usually of two persons, known
as the 'holder" and the shower"
The holder carries a stock of the
counterfeit money, and the shower has
one piece. This he takes to store or a
saloon and buys something for a small
amount, and when he comes into the
street the holder sees him from his po-
sition block away, joins him, receives
the good money and hands him another
counterfeit.
The object is to work so that the
shower, if detected, may plead inno-
cence and prove that the piece is the
only one that he has and that he has no
other money. Some clever operators
go, so far as to mix good coin with the
bad.

SEVERAL Ill have already been in
troduced in Congress relative to an
archism. Senator Hoar has introduced
a measure for the protection of the
president of the United States. 1t pro-
vides that an attempt to take the life of
the president shall be punished by
death, and anyone who s all counsel or
advise the death of the president shall
be imprisoned for twenty years. Any
one who shall aid in the escape of any
person concerned in the killing or
counseling shall be tried as an accom-
plice.
Senator Burrows has introduced bill
Ito provide for the exclusion and de-
portation of alien Anarchists. The Sec
ton provieds that no alien Anarchists
shall here after be permitted at any port
of the United States or be admitted into
the United States, but this prohibition
shall not be so construed as to apply to
political refugees or political offe nders
other than such anarchists.
The second section directs the special
board of inquiry authorized by the i'm
migration laws to make diligent investi-
cation concerning the antecedents of
any alien seeking admission in to
the United States who is suspected
of being an anarchist, authorizing the
board to even go to the extent of ex
aiming the person ofsuspected alliance
for marks indicative of membership in
anarchistic societies. Section three
provides for the return of persons to
their native country who have sec ured
admssion'to the United States contrary
to law and who have afterward been
found to be anarchists. The fourth Sec
ton provides that when any alien is con-
yicted of any crime in any United States
court and it shall appear from the evil
dences chat he is an anarchist the pre-
siding judge shall direct a further hear
ing and if the Judge is satisfied that the
convicted alien IS an anarchist or that
his remaining in this country will be
menace to the government or society in
general he may direct that in addition
to other punishments adjudged the con-
victedlalien after undergoing such pun
ishment shall be deported at the ex-
pense of the United States to the coun-
try from which he came, and if he re-
turns to the United States he shall be
punished by imprisonmenta at hard labor
for period not exceeding five years and
afterwards again deported.
Provision is made for the appointment
oftwelve immigration agents at salary
of 50, 500 each to make investigation in
foreign countries concerning intended
immigrants. The sixth and last section
of the bill provides that "the fact that
an alien has declared his intention to
become a citizen of the United States
constitute no bar to proceedings against
him under this. act"

An Approach to Perpetual Motion.

An Approach to Perpetual Motion.
A clock is to be seen at Brussels
which comes about as near being a
perpetual motion machine as can be
invented, for the sun does the winding.
The following is the method by which
it works: A shaft exposed to the solar
rays causes an up draft of air, which
sets the fan in motion. The fan actu-
ates mechanism which raises the
weight of the clock until it reaches the
top and then puts break on the fan
till the weight has gone down little,
when the fan is again liberated and
proceeds to act as before. As long as
the sun shines frequently enough and
the machinery does not wear out the
clock will keep in perpetual motion.
