cHARD WILLIAM VAUGHAN
The First English Bank FOrEer and
the Story of HIS Fnu

The First English Bank FOrEer and
the story of His Fail.
The story of the first bank forger,
Richard William Vaughan, is little
known. Vaughan was the brother of a
Stafford lawyer and became clerk to a
solicitor in London. He wished to
marry his masters daughter and prom
ised to produce the sum of E1,00O,
which, he said, his mother would pre-
sent to him, half of it to be settled on
his wife. On these terms the father
consented to the marriage, and Vaughan
obtained months leave of absence.
He occupied this period in obtaining
engraved impressions in imitation OF
twenty pound Bank of England notes,
which was not such a difficult matter
then, such things as forged notes be-
ing unknown. With fifty of these
sham notes he presented himself at the
ed her share in perfect good faith, and
the marriage preparations were pro-
ceeded with.
Unfortunately he wanted ready mon
ey and put two of his own forged
notes into circulation. They were chal-
lenged, when he became alarmed and
tried to get back the notes he had
given to the young lady, but she re
fused to yield them up. suspecting
nothing of their true nature, and when
Vaughan was arrested next day she
would hardly believe even then that
she had been deceived.
The forger was tried at the Old Bal
ley on the It'll of April, 1853, spending
what was to have been his wedding
day in the condemned cell. Four days
later he was hanged at Tyburn.-Lon-
don Standard.

Old Boston is wildly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmen's minutes, dated Nov. /,
1863, containing instructions to watch
men:
'In going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not noisy,
but behave themselves with strict de-
corum. that they frequently give the
time of the night and what the wealth
er is with a distinct but moderate
voice, excepting at times when it is
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
ON unlawful actions.
"You and your division must en-
deavor to suppress all routs, riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty, that proper steps
may be taken next morning for a
prosecution as the law directs. We alb
solutely forbid your taking private
satisfaction or any bride that may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their offense from the selectmen."

lures. During that year there were
nearly $4,000 farms in the United
States, covering an area of Sal, 000,-
600 acres, of which 451, 100000 acres
consisted of improved land. These.
farms had total value of $685.
100000, exclusive of farming nipple
ments and live stock on farms ex
ceeding three billions of dollars.
AS further indicating the import
ance of agriculture in the United
States, it is a striking fact that, ac-
cording to the returns of the last
census, about 40,0O0,000 people, or
more than one-half of our total popu-
lation in 1900 resided on farms. Of
the 100000 persons comprising tue
portion of our population engaged in
gainful occupations, about 100000,
more than third, were returned as
employed in agricultural pursuits.
The people that work upon the farm
outnumber by more than three mil
lion persons those who are occupied
in the manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits.
''In 1899, according to the census
returns, the produce of American
agriculture, including farm animals
and their products, had an aggregate
value of nearly five billion dollars.
Some of the crop value that take up
this total were almost startling in
which formed the leading item, had
value of 1928, 100000. The hay and
forage of the census year were worth
$484 200, 900. Wheat, which ranks
next to corn among our cereal crops,
gave a return of 100000, while
oats were produced to the value of
$217 ,000,0 900. Cotton, the great crop
of the southern states, was valued at
1924 900, 900.
I'm addition to these foremost
crops, there were numerous others
yielding returns in value that ran
into the millions. Live stock and
their products formed an exceedingly
important factor in the grand total.
The animals sold and slaughtered
during the year were valued at more
than $900,000,000. The several pro-
ducts of the dairy-milk, butter and
cheese-comprised an item of $472,-
100000, while poultry and eggs to-
gether brought a return of over $751;
| 100000.
"As a result of the intelligent ap-
plication of improved methods to
American agriculture, the produce of
our farms has enabled us to increase
the volume of our exports every year.
Products of agriculture form about
! two-thirds of our export trade. Last
year the exports from the farms
amounted to $S60,000,000. The science
of agriculture is in it's rudimentary
stages in all lands. The education of
producers from the field, so long neg
lected, has recently been undertaken
in earnest in the United States. Our
government is doing more for the
farmer than all other nations com
bined. Results are justifying ex-
penditures, and the future will still
further show the value of science ap
piled to the farm"

Otto Lasins in his diary describes a
walk he took one day with Bocklin, the
famous artist, near Zurich. Bocklin
was in raptures over the colors of the
autumn leaves, the blue sky, the
clouds. "Ah, those are colors!' he eX-
claimed. eff we could have those on
our palettes! How weak are our means
in comparison with those of nature!
White is our best light, and only by
means of clever contrasts can we Sc

Character In NiclxnameS.

When Austria was only a dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles Cath
olic," GLORIOUS" and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent and the third great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of
the conditions of the people while
these dukes ruled.
France has had most wonderful as
sortment of kings. One was the Little
and another the Bold. One was the
Stammerer, another Simple, while
third and fourth were Indolent and
Fair. These names are descriptive of
the kings themselves, but it is hardly
to be supposed that king who was in
dolent or simple did much to further
the interests of his subjects. But when
we find Robert II. called the Sage, we
realize that he ruled wisely and that
the people were better off for it.

American people can fully realize the

taken place In this field in their own
land. Figures Of railroad activities for
the world at lar.e are not very trust
