himself. He says. however. it is stated.
that after the notes had passed out of his
hands he found them in the bank and,
not knowing what they were. took them.
He came 10 st. Louis with them and in
the last two days it is charged that he
has disposed of 1000 Of the currency.
WRONG NAME GIVES CLEw.
The discovery that the notes were forged
was brought about by the fact that the
name, F. F. Foster. signed as that Of
the president. is not in fact the name OF
the president of the Central National
Bank Moreover, the name signed in the
blank for the cashiers signature is not
legfbIe. The two so bills and one SO bill
are not signed.
The fact that the wrong name was
signed to the notes was ascertained at the
Lafayette Bank. which is a correspondent
OF the Central National OF New York.
TAYLOR told the Federal authorities that
he does not know who signed the notes.
When Taylor was arrested he gave his
right name to the police. but in his pocket
were found two bank books issued by St.
Louis institutions in the name Of Alfred
Plimpton.
The arrest of Taylor was due solely to
his bold display of money. Within two
hour yesterday morning he gave or at
tempted to give six SEQ notes for cigars
and drinks. II is said.
Twice he passed a so bill at the saloon
Of C. W. Williams. at No. 80 Olive street;
and four times, within an hour. 1t Is said.
he attempted to pass $50 notes in the
saloon OF Charles F. Quinn. at No. ais
Olive street In the saloon of ]. E. Altman
& Co., No. zoe Olive street, he was placed
under arrest by Patrolman Thomas Nc
Cormack.
After Taylor had shown a $50 bill four
times in Quinn's saloon. the proprietor
became suspicious and. with David Fran
els. Jr.. notified Patrolman Mccormack.
Fatrolnan Mccormack followed TAYLOR
INTO Altman's saloon and took his station
near a valise which Taylor had set down
on the floor. When he came for his yalise
the policeman arrested him.
NOT DISTURBED AT ARREST.
Taylor took the arrest calmly. not even
asking the patrolman the charge against
MN or where he was going. Patrolman
Mccormack led his prisoner to the Chest |
hut Street Police Station, where he was
searched.
In the valise the police found, they claim. |
tsS7.S in currency and coin. Some of the
in packages similar to those put
up al a bank. In his clothing the police |
found. it is asserted. more than 1900. Ten
and twenty dollar Bills were thrust into
every conceivable part of his clothing. In |
20 every pocket was damned a roll Of bills, |
seemingly without care. In his hip pocket |
was a large sum-.

Rubber Used Again.

Worn-out rubber, like WORKOUT sill
yer, is something that does not exist
in these days. says London Answers.
Ever since the advent of bicycles and
motor cars, both Of which drew heav-
lily on the worlds rubber supply, and
ever since the hundred and one uses
to which rubber Is put in connection
with electricity, the material has be-
come more and more scarce and val
liable, so that even the old rubber shoe
and the worn-out rubber boot may
throw out their chests in pride at be-
Ing worth really something. Nothing
containing rubber is discarded nova
days. The old rubber coat over which
the spring tires Of motor car may
run on a country road to-day may
some day find a nesting place in the
soft tresses of woman's hair, after
having been transformed into a hand
some comb.
Even vulcanized rubber. which, ow-
ing to the sulphurlc process to which
1t was subjected, was formerly value
less is now subjected to process
which rejuvenates it and makes 1t fit
to be worked up again for the purpose
of the manufacturer. Immense guam
titles of this product, which formerly
was assigned to rubbish heap, are
now treated and admlxed with GER
tain percentage Of new gum, enough
to cheaper the price Of most rubber
goods turned out by the manufacturers
to-day. Old rubber, however, can be
used by itself without any addition
of fresh gum. the process of treat

Floor for Horse Stall.

FLOOR Tor Horse STALL
The average horse stall is disgrace
to the owner and, usually, the worse
part about it is the floor. One of the
best floors known, that may be made
at small expense, is constructed as fol-
lows: The foundation is of small
stones with cement coating on top;
good cement floor, in other words, so
laid that there is fall of about one
Inch to the foot from the manger to
the rear. Then Stat floor is made Of
good oak material an inch thick and
two inches wide.
These strips are cut the required
length, are set on edge about one-half
inch apart and cleats nailed across at
intervals Of a foot. Holes are bored
In these cleats SO that the liquid excre-
ment which passes between the Stats
may pass over the cement floor to the
rear. Two by four strips are put in
at intervals to keep the Slated floor
from being springy. Every few days
this Slated floor is. taken up and the
cement floor underneath cleaned, SO
that in this way the horse always has
dry bed.
A gutter should be provided for
when laying the cement floor. Mt the
rear OF the stall, SO that the liquid
excrement will run off to some vat pro-
vided for 1t and thus be saved. In

Romance of a Chauffeur.

The chauffeur is becoming more
dangerous than ever coachmen or BIZ

teachers were, says the Motor World.
This peculiar fascination Of the chau-
ffeur over the fair sex has not yet
been very conspicuous here, but it is
comprehensive that daring and
dashing driver, with perfect control Of
his car, should become something of a
hero, and the primitive instinct Of
woman was ever prone to hero wor-
ship. The news from England there
fore may be received here as some
thing in the nature of warning.
The London smart set is eagerly
waiting developments in the case Of
Miss Baldock, who still stubbornly
clings to her determination to marry
her handsome young chauffeur. She
only recently passed her twenty-first
birthday, and has an income of $4,000
year, with expectations, bound to
be realized If she lives, of inheriting
an additional $4,000 a year. This
may perhaps account for the fact
that the chauffeur has refused an
offer made by the girls father of $780,.
