In the course OF the rendering Of the
various items on the programme the
prince evinced great interest and
clapped his hands enthusiastically at
the end OF each piece. At the end Of
the last Indian song and dance his
highness arose to take his departure,
having shaken hands with Mr.. Keefer
and made his .'tsalaamf' to the audi
ence, and retired to his stateroom. pre-
ceded by the ships surgeon and fol-
lowed by the dancing girl and his ret
inue.
AS in London and Liverpool, there
was much speculation on board as to
who the prince really was. where he
came from, whittier his destination and
why he wished to visit Canada and the
United States. AS to his identity,
this entry appears In the list Of pas
sengers:
Ellis Highness Prince Ranjit Of Be
loochistan and retinue."
Il It is now said that the mysterious
travellers real. name and title are
Prince Joe Ranjut, prince Of Kurachi,
and that he is9 the son and heir Of the
.rajah of Beloochistan. He is Of aver
age height and "a years old. His COM
plexion is swarthy and his hair, beard
and mustache perfectly black. He has
beautiful teeth and small, sparkling,
sympathetic eyes. He betrays consid-
cradle nervousness and physical weak
ness and is evidently anxious to avoid
public observation.

citizen of indianapolis. This man was
acting as a trustee during the panic of
1898 and had the trust fund on deposit
In the Indianapolis National bank. A
day or two before the bank closed its
doors the man received a warning that
the institution was doomed. He ac-
cordingly hastened over to the bank
and drew out the money which he held
in trust for another. When he receiv-
ed the money, which was in bills, he
rolled 1t up and placed it in his coat
pocket, where dhe carried it for several
days. One day Harry g. Adams came
into his place of business and said:
"Have you such a thing az q hundred
dollar bill about you? / need one right
away" The man reachedsin his pocket
pulled out the roll of bills, and taking
of the top bill handed it to Mr..
Adams. Great heavens!" calculated
Mr.. Adams when he observed that the
bill called for $1,000, 'you surely don't
carry thousand dollar bills around in
your pocket, do you?" "IF have no
thousand dollar BILL" retorted the
man. "I,d like to know what you call
that said Mr.. Adams, holding up the
bill SO as to show. plainly the figures
1000 on its face.
The scene changes to the Indianapo-
lis National Bank. The man enters
carrying the thousand dollar bill in his
hand. did you find any shortage In
your cash the other day." he asked
Of Cashier Rexford.. "DidI?" exclaim-
ed MI. Rexford. sWell, I should say
I did. T was short 5000 and have lost
hours Of sleep ever since trying to
locate that shortage"
well, you can take a little rest
now,n answered the man, "for here is
your money. You. paid me a thousand
dollar bill for a hundred dollar bill
the other day." The cashier suddenly
found that he had business outside"
and it is said that money was put into
circulation at a neighboring refresh
ment stand, although this part of the
story is not clearly substantiated.-

One of the most difficult positions to
fill in the big retail establishments
where automatic cash registers are in
use is that Of cashier. The question Is
not SO much n of honesty as n of
ability to perform the work day by
day without too great a margin of err
ror. None has found so great difficulty
in this connection as the owners of the
big quick-lunch establishments, where
change" has to be made quickly at
the rush hours Of noon, and when but
little time is allowed the cashier to
check receipts with the figures marked
up on the register. The cashier in
one of the largest downtown places
was recently discharged simply be-
cause she was often Of" in her
change; that is, the cash register and
the amount turned in at night did not
tally. 1t mattered little to the COM
pany when there was a shortage, for,
according to agreement, the cashier
made it up from her salary. On many
occasions there was ever overcast
above the amount recorded. The
young woman turned in this overcast
faithfully; the company discharged her
for having any overcast at all. When
the young woman was discharged. it
may be noted incidentally, she had
become a great favorite with the Gus
toners and when it was learned that
they we're to see her no mor behind
the cashiers desk, some n started a
petition, which vas signed by over 600

taries o. India, who has been posing as
Prince Ranjit. He deceived even the
electsof London and the European con-
tinent and It was not until he arrived.
on this side Of the Atlantic that his
identity was discovered and his de-:
ception exposed. But as fur as his
wealth was concerned there was no de-
ception. He has plenty Of money and
spends It with lavish hand wherever
he goes. 81
The arrival Of the putative prince in
London was unannouncedk and for this
reason his pretensions awakened sus-
picion. But although heshad a retinue
Of q score OF attendants and personal
baggage sufficient for q regiment Of
ordinary m%ortals, society looked as
kance. 1t was not regarded as possible
that so distinguished a parsonage
should leave his native land and travel
half way around the globe without
sending in advance some intelligence
of his coming. At first his claims to
noble birth were looked upon with
suspicion and his display Of wealth
was spoken Of as the assuming Of an
adventurer. But there was enough in
his presence at the English capital to
set the tongues of the gossips going
and it vas not long ere inquiries re-
vealed the fact that not only were his
claims genuine, but that one-half had
not been told. He was a man Of far
greater Importance than he assumed to
be, while the wealth his retainers de-
clared he possessed vas not q Pigment
Of the Imagination.
This bogus Indian prince has just
been dazzling the natives Of Canada by
the magnifcence Of his encourage. and,
what is more, he proposes a tour of
the United States. He has been at Que
bee and Montreal, where he was re-
ceiveds with high honors, although he
did not seek them. Indeed, he ex-
pressed regret that his coming was
made the occasion for . display on the
part Of the lion.loving Canadians, de-
claring he would have greatly preferred
going his own way unnoticed by the
society people of the towns through
which his journey lay. This seeming
medesty was. however. like his title,
merely a pretense, for It Is manifest
that the honors showered upon him

a Novel Plan to Attract Factory
Men to Their City.

profit-sharing on a novel basis is
to be given trial by IL of the lead
ing industrial plants in kenosha'
Wis, as the managers of the plants
have formed cooperative associa-
tion for the purpose OF bringing In
laborers and to make the city a
model manufacturing town. The
plan is to purchase large tract OF
land on which will be built homes for
/ 900 laborers. These homes will be
sold to the men at the actual cost OF
building. They will be located near
the factory district. and fitted with
all modern conveniences. In order TO
encourage matrimony among the
workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply on the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan large clearinghouse Will be
/ erected to accommodate several
hundred workmen, at which it will
be possible to secure board and
rooms at low rates. One thousand
men are now needed for the factories
in Kenosha, and this unique plan has
been hit upon to draw people to the
