A friend OF ours, the owner of as
good farm in the central west as any
man could wish for, was tempted to
sell it about three months ago because
he was offered $50 per acre more for it
than he had ever thought II could. be
worth. He has been hunting Since
pretty steadily to find another place
which would suit him as well and fail
ed. He cannot get his money out on
interest at any higher rate than per
cent and confidentially tells us that
he was the biggest fool in four states
when he let go the old farm. There
are others just like him.

ToBoGGANING AT QUEBEC.

in the upper town. To many, however,
these are the least attractive features
of the carnival period in northern Can
ada. More delightful are the rosy
checked, dark eyed French-C Canadian
girls, clad in warm furs or gay blanket
suits; the gorgeous, rollicking snow
shoers and their merry French songs
and the social festivities, all of which
are Interchangeable
The carnival started this year by the
opening of the picturesque toboggan
slide on Dufferin terrace by their eX-
cellencies Earl and Lady Minto An
interesting feature of the opening was
the comforting of the title of honorary
chief on Lord Mimic by the Huron
Indians of Lorette. Following this
came sliding exhibition on Dufferin
terrace by the Quebec Ladies' Snow
shoe club in costume.
Indoor amusements included fancy
dress carnivals at the Quebec skating
rink and the annual citizens ball ut
Chateau Frontenac in honor of Lord
and Lady Mimic. This is always the
great social event of the carnival and
this season was attended by the elite
of Canada. Visitors from the United
States were able to obtain invitations
to this affair without trouble.
They have talented Frenchman in
Quebec whose remarkable ice statuary
In various public squares attracted a
great deal of attention at the carnival.
What at first puzzles visitors to Que
bee in winter is the apparent indiffer-
ence Of the native to cold. They find
out the secret after awhile. 1t is to put
on all the clothes they own and cover
the ears with fur cap and the feet
with arctics. Quebec girls wear so
many clothes that they actually stand
knee deep in snow for hours in the
crisp but piercingly cold air without
the slightest discomfort.
Taken altogether Quebec's winter
carnival is a period of tumultuous hi
larity and brilliant pictures. The Amer
lean tourist in search of novelty finds
it there to his hearts content Add to
this the fact that to all intents and
purposes Quebec is French city and
the peculiar charm of this winter fes-
tival is explained.

HIS ACCOUNTS FOUND SHORT
A. J.. Stanley, City Salesman for the
HeIntS Pickle company, IL
Under Arrest.

A. J. Stanley, living at 1926 Sherman
avenue. was arrested yesterday evening by
Detectives Savage and Davis on a charge
of embezzlement, preferred by the local
agency OF the Heintz Pickle company and
by BaIdrige & DeBord, attorneys for the
Pittsburg Surety company, which had Sc
cured his bond. The amount Of shortage,
SO far as known, is $500. The prisoner
was city salesman and collector for the
Heintz company. He was held last night
by Captain Haze for 1880 bonds.
The shortage was first discovered only a
few days ago, at which time II accidentally
became known that Stanley was about $3.50
short. When asked to explain the matter,
ne said that he had lost the money. which
he had collected while out on his rounds
and had put in a billbook which had been
lost. He said that he would square the
matter in a few days. As the travelling
auditor Of the company was due here from
st. Louis in a few days, the matter was
allowed to stand as II was. Now that an
examination Of the books has been made, II
has already been found that there Is a
shortage Of $500 and 1t 10 not improbable
that further amounts may be found missing
Stanley Is a young married man and has
been In the employ Of the company for
Just a year. He has heretofore been re-
garded as Trustworthy and capable. It is
possible that the matter may be settled
without prosecution. II Is thought that
not improbably the falsiheation of the
books has occurred since Manager Charles
Homriehouse left here about two months
ago. The prisoner admitted at the police
station that he had appropriated money
to his own use.

be replaced. The building was a four
story structure and one Of the finest in the
city. 1t was valued at between SIS 600 and
500, 900. The building was wen covered
by Insurance.

OF SUPPOSED FoReERs
Men Are Accused Of Passing Five
Bogus Checks on Merchants
of City.

With the arrest last night Of Thomas
Moss Of 1907 Webster street by Detectives
Heitfeld and DonRhue, the police have in
custody the last Of the men who are thought
to be the parties who forged and circulated
hve bogus checks on the First National
bank with an aggregate OF about $3.50. These
forgeries FIST came to the attention Of the
authorities through the complaint of J. N.
Nelson, a dry goods man at 1922 Cunning
street, who had cashed a check for S35.
Since then four others have turned up.
George w. Slower, n oonfectioner at 14l7
North Twenty-fourth street, cashed a check
for fl4.75, taking out so cents in payment
for candy which the stranger had pur-
chased.
These two checks we're identical as to
payor and payee. being supposedly drawn
by w. L. Seabrook Of 40S North Sixteenth.
street on the First National, in favor Of
George sutton or bearer. The man who
passed them on the ~shopkeepers claimed
to be Sutton and to live at 1911 Cunning
street. After Nelson had cashed the SIS
check he became suspicious and called up
Seabrook, whose name was signed to the
same, by telephone. SeabrOok denied
knowledge OF the checks aud Nelson went
to the First National bank, where he found
that SeRbrook had no deposit. Nelson then
put the matter In the hands Of Heitfeld and
Donahue. From the dry goods man and
from slower descriptions we're obtained
which lead TO the arrest. Moss will only
be charged with passing forged checks, as
the police believe that he was guilty only
to that extent, and that Frank Belts Of
1924 Sherman avenue, who was arrested on
the night Of December %, is the person
who forged the names and was the head
Of the business. James Schultz of Forty
ninth street and Underwood avenue, who
was arrested at the same time because he
was often In company with Belts, has been
released as he is now thought not to be
implicated.
The prisoners are young men living with
their parents and the principal has not for
merly been arrested. Moss was convicted,
together with Arthur Sylvester of 719s
North Sixteenth street, Of thieving from
the Tier Uf&hd+ta1ier shop and was, at the
time of hts arrest, out OF good conduct.
