FLOODED WITH 2-CENT CHECKS.
Advertising Dodge Bothers a Har-
lem Bank.
From the New York Sun,

rEOIu lHe NEW L OIh Cuhs
A wholesale liquor dealer in Lenox
avenue, in a hunt for a scheme to get
new customers. hit on an advertising
dodge the other day that brought noto-
riety to his saloon and bothered Har-
lem bank so that its officers called a
policeman for protection.
The liquor dealer had several thou
sand checks on the Harlem bank print
ed. They were payable to bearer and
were for two cents each. On each
check was printed a facsimile of the
saloOnkeeper's signature.
For day the dealer was busy put
ting the checks into envelopes. In each
envelope he put circular that he had
the best stock of liquors in Harlem. On
Thursday he sent number of small
boys out, each with a couple of thou
sand of the envelopes and instructions
to distribute them in the neighborhood.
The dealer knew that the checks
would not be honored at the bank al
though he did have an account there.
But he had reckoned without the small
boy. They collected them by the hun
when it opened its doors on Friday
morning.
Gimme 81. &c." said the first boy, who
got to the paying teller's window.
Here's 21s checks"
IT got A. yelled another youngster,
trying to wedge his way ahead of the
first boy. That's 81. 50. Ma says so. -
What the -" began the teller,
when there was a wall from a 6-year-
old in the crowd.
Somebody stoled some of mine" he
sobbed. 81 amt got but 'leven left.
I was a-goin' to get some skates
What the -" began the bewilder-
ed teller again. Then he got one of the
checks and read it over. He tried to
explain to the boys that it was only an
advertising scheme: that the checks
were no good because the signature was
only printed, but they were not to be
fooled. They knew that the bank had
money. and that the teller was just
trying to be mean"
The regular patrons of the bank
couldn't get in on account of the crowd
of boys. Some of them even thought
that there might be a run on the bank.
Finally the janitor slipped out a side
door and found a policeman. The crowd
scattered when the policeman told them
to.
All day long there was constant
stream of small boys going to that
bank. Finally the bank people sent
word to the liquor dealer who had made
all the trouble. that if he distributed
any more of those two-cent checks they
would have him arrested as a public
nuisance or sue him for damages for
loss of time.
Now the liquor dealer is looking
around for another scheme. But he
doesn't need to. All the neighborhood
knows that he is in business.

In Rossland, B. c., recently a remark

The eldest son, William, IS years IF
age, lives at home. The other sons are
John, aged Sc; Charles, "a; George OF

and has almost 100 descendants.
All the men in the family are min

of Minister Bowen at Caracas In de-
handing an apology from the Venezue.

made of the American flag by the COM
mander of the Venezuelan gunboat
Restaurador, is given in the current
volume of Foreign Relations" Mr.
Bowen, without waiting for instru...
lions from the United States, called Oh
the minister of foreign affairs and said
to him:
"Your captain dishonored the Amer
lean flag, and he should be ordered tc
raise 1t and salute it. and your govern

The minister desired several days IL
which to investigate the matter. "The
facts that have presented to you are
indisputable," says Mr.. Bowen, "ant

that at the end of that time must ca
BILE the facts to my government"
On the following day regrets were
expressed on behalf of Venezuela, ant

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products OF
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance, However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for world wide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval. not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth OF the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator. consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method OF
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of Its kind The above Is true
not of food products only, but Is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of pleasant and re-
freshing liquid. but also to the method
OF manufacture OF the California Fig
syrup w. which ensures Indt unll Ofml-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi-
clan who Is well informed and he will
answer at once that 1t Is an excellent
laxative. If at all eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that 1t is the best
of family laxatives, because It Is sim
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
laxative is needed. without any un-
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup Of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell IT, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because 1t gives general satisfac-
ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects OF
Syrup OF Figs 1t is necessary to buy the
genuine. which is sold in original pack
ages only; the name of the remedy
