The New Russian Orthodox church
Of St. Nicholas, in Ninety-seventh
street, between Madison and Fifth ave-

Gently with all the elaborate cere-

has already become an attractive sight
in a part Of the city where many impos-

few years.
It is of the typical Russian dome
style. The material of the body is
red brick and light gray stone, and
this mass bears a slanting roof on

OLD FORT MONTGOMERY.
Ii Story of an American Stronghold
Erected, by Mistake, on Cana-

Curious, indeed, is an American
fort which was built on British soil.
How many can guess what fort it is
and where located? The name is
Fort Montgomery, and the location is
on an island near the foot of Lake
Champlain, about half a mile east OF
Rouse's Point, N. Y. .
A short time ago, when travelling
in that part of the country, a New
York Herald correspondent saw this
fort and asked the name of it. "Why,
that is Fort Blunder," said the in
formant. "Did you never hear of

FORGED CHECKS.

More than a year ago some one Sc
cured a check book from johnson
Bros bank at Armour and has been
issuing forged checks at intervals
since. The most of them have been
for $50 each.
The first four issued were cashed
by Minneapolis banks-the Hennepin
County Savings Bank two for $50 each
signed by I. NJ. Brisbine; the Swed-
ish-American National one for the
same amount and signed by the same
man, and the Metropolitan one for
$50, signed by M. A. Hurd. These
checks We're dated in January, 1902.
The next was dated Feb. 13 and
cashed in Kansas City, for $25, drawn
by o. HI. Wheeler. On Oct. 30 the
same forger, signing Webb G. Tru-
man, issued another for $35 and
cashed it in Ogden, Utah. The next
was cashed in Pocatello, Idaho, and
signed by G. M. Ward. The last, ar
irving yesterday, was cashed in Mis-
soula, Mont. 1t was drawn for $50
and signed by +. C. Lawrence.
MI. Lawrence is an Armour, bust
ness man and his name had been
forged to the check. The other checks
were all signed by the same man, US
ing fictitious names. The Armour
State Bank is expecting more of the
same forged paper. The checks have
indorsers and are merely protested at
the Armour Bank and returned to
the banks first cashing them.

"A BAD CASE.

Fred Richardson, who was only a
short time ago released from the coun-
ty Jail at Sioux Falls, is again in
trouble, being charged with an I'M
usually bold crime.
Upon being liberated from the
county Jail, Sheriff Huston, through
pity for the released prisoner, gave
him work. He returned the kindness
by stealing a quantity of property
from the sheriff. This might have
been overlooked, but when Richard
son went so far as to purchase a team
of horses from a Sioux Falls nan and
give as security a mortgage on a team
of horses, lumber wagon and set of
double harness belonging to the sher-
iff, it vas deemed best to put a damp
er on his enterprise. He is also ac-
cused of having stolen two loads of
barley from a farmer living on a farm
where he (~Richardson) has been at
work recently.
Richardson has been arrested for
mortgaging property not his own and
for the theft of the barley and, as
the result of his preliminary examina-
ton, has been held for appearance at
the next term of state circuit court.
His bonds were fixed at $1,000, which
he was unable to furnish.

Fashion Models.

Fashion models who pose for pho
tographer are not to be confused for a
moment with those other models who
pose for artists. The camera and the
brush are far different mediums. One
can hide or forget blemishes, but the
other tells the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, says the
Baltimore Herald. An artist can add a
few inches to models height or
change the curve of her shoulders or
her nose or give her pearly teeth in
stead of irregular. discolored ones, or
make any other improvement he de-
sires; but the photographer can but
press the bulb of his lens. Retouching
is unavailing if the model has assuAed
a gawky, ungraceful pose. Not all the
kings horses and all the kings men
can make camera transform an awk-
ward woman into beauty.

"Aaelo-saxou Ep.lish, !"

There is an old fallacy that Anglo
Saxon words are the best. The fallacy
is based on the belief that words Of
Anglo-Saxon origin are more simple
and vigorous than those derived from
Latin. In point of fact, some Anglo
Saxon words are obscure and long, and
many of our cOmmonest, most simple
words are from the Latin. The Lon
don News tells Il story in point.
A barristcr more remarkable for the
vigor of his address to juries than for
his learning was commenting on the

having the merit of those pcacemak

his life in Bible reading Scotland. Sir
Walter was YET ignorant of the fact
that il was TO the meek that the i'll
heritance of the earth was promised.
and the benediction of the peacemakers
was that they shall be called the chill

Dickens in his Tale of Two Cities

tine" one does not have to be Il pro

who chopped off heads in the Place de

The lowest pupil in the lowest class

into the sea of Aral. and the JaXartes
most certainly rises in no mountains

Shakespeare wrote of "the coast of
