A Clever swindIs.


Two London crooks, Granger and
Rice. engineered a slick swindle re-
Gently. They forged a check for Il 900
and signed 1t with the name of man
who had big balance in his band.
Then Granger made UP" to resemble
the person whose name was being used
and, waiting until the man had gone
out to luncheon. stepped into his ofice
and into the telephone box. At the
same minute Rice appeared at the bank
and presented the check. He said he
was a new clerk Of the man whose
name was on the check. but the cashier
refused to give the money to him un-
til he was identified. Rice said that
his employer wanted the money right
away and suggested that he be called
up by telephone at his once. This
was done and Granger, at the other
end. answered the telephone bell and
said, of course. that the check was all
right and please hurry and give the
man the money" Then he left the
once without 1t being discovered that
he was not the proprietor of the place
and. meeting Rice, the two divided the
money and made of. Both were sub
sequentiy arrested. the story being so
good that they told 1t. It then

A Bersaford Story.

A story OF Lord Charles Beresfords
early exploits In Parliament crops ur
again. An old county member, sadly
troubled by sout, made q practice OF
retiring to one of the benches under
the reporters gallery, behind the
speakers chair. His habit was to take
on his boots. which he placed under
the bench, lie down at full length, and
doze securely under the shade of the
gallery till his rest was disturbed by
the call for division. when he would
slip on his boots. Lord Charles Beres-
ford observed the place where the
honorable member had put his boots,
and when he was sound asleep took
away one, which he hid. When the
division came the victim was COM
PEELED to leave his seculsion and walk

In Mexico experience has conclusive

been to establish a good school for in
structing scientific officers. The MILL

Many foreign officers of different ma

MONKEY A PRACTICAL JOKER.
Sins Fun Cost His Owner Money and
Bric-a-BrAc.

Brio-a- Brao
There is today in Baltimore a family
which is bemoaning the destruction OF
some valued chinaware and bric.a-brac,
total value, S26.20, and there is a small
simian of the ring-tail species with an
abnormally developed sense of humor
who Is directly responsible for the mis-
chief, yet who wonders daily at the
sudden coolness which has sprung up
between his master and himself. Ac-
cording to the story told by the ag-
grieved owner, he bought young
simian as pet for his children, and
for few weeks the relations between
all parties were amicable. Then. as the
spring drew nigh. the family moved to
their country home, taking Sim with
them. About week ago the family
came into town to spend Sunday, and
then the question as to what DISPOSE
tion to make of the monkey during
their absence came up 1t was finally
decided to tether him to his box In the
kitchen. and leave him with enough
food and water to last until their re-
turn. Monday morning the family ar
rived, and went to see how Sim had
Jared. 1t did not take them long to
find out. The dining room looked like
1t had been the scene of bull-fght.
A sofa had all the stuffing pulled out
OF it and arranged In tasteful punches
about the room, china pitchers and
plates lay smashed on the floor. and
the small bronze clock on the mantel
was upside down In the fireplace. Ruin
greeted the explorers on every hand,
but the greatest chaos was found In
the kitchen. Sim had piled everything
portable up in a heap in the center OF
the room, busted the whole copiously
with salt and -four. and after pouring
kettle of water on to finish the job. sat
on top of the pile and greeted the
masters family with squeaks of sim
ian pride. 1t was later discovered
that he had gnawed the string that
kept him near his box, and had I'M
proved the shining hours not only In
accomplishing the ruin told above. but
a great deal more besides. AS has been
limited, he is not In favor these days.

Hsw . rr... Leader work..

There is . mistaken Idea that the
men who direct the great corporations
are continually engaged in a vast
amount Of detail business. That is
not the case. Modern business has
made the position of the trust leader
ono requiring not only brains. but
brains of the highest order. 1t may
be that the president of trust does
not perform an official act once day.
II may be that his work is confined
to initiating tho papers that his sub
ordinate heads of departments submit
to him, but the fact remains that he is
the brains Of the concern, and that II
he signs papers without knowing their
contents he does 80 because he knows
thoroughly the men who submit them.
Il has been said with truth that the
most successful men in these business
es are those who do nothing when
things are going smoothly and who
DO everything when they are going i'll.
Instead of taking away from the free
dom of action Of the men who direct
these concerns. modern conditions have
added to their responsibility. The
whole system Of trust organization de-
pends upon making each man respon-
sible for the work which he directs.
10 long as he achieves satisfactory re-
suits he Is not interfered with. 1t is
said. for example. that the president
Of the Standard OIL company never is
sued a positive order to his subordi-
mates. Whether It is = matter of CIV
Ing employment to a workman or car
rying out deal with a government he
merely suggests. II the subordinate
prefers to substitute his own judgment
In the matter he is permitted to do

Something About tho Work Booker r
Washington Has Done.

Washington Has Done.
Booker T. Washington Is carrying
out work at Tuskegee of more prac-
tical benefit to the white men of the
South than any other work which has
yet been undertaken along the same
line. He is solving the race problem
by a practical plan. The southern peo-
pie admit that they need the negro.
He Is there among them because he
serves purpose, and II he is to be
there he must be made industrious
and self-reliant, and all educational
experts agree that 1t Is precisely these
qualities which are being instilled in
to young negro men and women at the
Tuskegee institute. Its value Is in
contestable, and under Mr.. Washing
toms direction 1t has become the fore
most influence in the South for i'm
proving the negro character by prac-
tical education. The head OF the school
has built up by the force of his own
personality. having secured general
recognition for his work In philan-
thropic and educational circles in this
country and Europe. President Nc
Kinley once visited his school, clasped
his hand. and stood at his elbow. He
was for days the guest OF the Atlanta
fair in the capital Of Georgia, where
he delivered an address which made
him famous the world over. He has
received degree from Harvard uni
versity. which Is not lavish Of such
honors. He Is an earnest, honorable,
upright man OF rare attainments and
exceptional ability, in every manly at
tribute the superior of hundreds Of
men In public life. Mr.. Roosevelt is
President not of a party. or section,
or of any race or sect, but Of all the
people of the nation, Of every color
and condition. We assume that the
President did not entertain Booker
Washington to recognize him as his
social equal. but merely as the chief
executive to pay tribute to genius,
