HOW TO SAVE THE BOY.

A banker of Allegan County,
Michigan, voted to license the saloons
and they were brought back into the
county. A few weeks ago ex-s3enator
Humphrey was at hotel in Allegan,
and, looking out, he saw the banker
walking back and forth in fir ont of the
hotel bar.room and looking in when
any one opened the door. The SEN
ator went out and spoke to the bank
er.
The banker said: Senator, T am
uneasy about my boy. 10 you think
he may be in the saloon? Did you
See anything of hlm?''
Yes, I saw him in the backroom
of the saloon playing card, and drink

A LITTER FROM TEXAS.

Bolton, Texas, OCT. 9.-In my
leisure moments, have often thought
would give short sketch of this
part of Texas, as it might prove of in
terest to some one. We have been in
Texas long enough to be called Texans.
| believe they say it takes three OF
four years to become natives.
We live in the little neighborhood
OF Shallow Ford, which gets its name
J from shallow ford across the Loon
river. 1t is abo'dt q hundred yards
/: across, and several hundred yards up
and down the river. It is almost per-
fectly level, white limestone rock.
The water is not more than three
inches deep all over it when the river
is low. 1t is situated three miles
from Bolton and six miles from
Temple. People from both places and
out on the prairie and surrounding
country come to the ford to fish, battle
and let the little children play in its
crystal waters. It is not swampy on
the banks of the river like Mississippi
streams: no limb or scarcely at all,
just a few trees c.verhanging its banks,
and these few trees are different from
those in Mississippi. They are mostly
elmn, pecan, blackberry, boxelder and
sycamore. Fi'ihing with boat and
trot lines is good, but hand fishing is
not INDUCED in with any success. The
fish are yellow, blue and channel cat,
buffalo. black bass and s;asper ghoulds,
which are called drum fish in Missis-
sippi. In the spring when it over
flows the men from all over the coun-
try come with seines, some forty, some
eighty feet long, and seine fol the fish
when they are ''rur ming as they
call it. have seen them seine out

i've pounds.

You can see most any phase of life
here. One couldn't begin to describe
the modes of living, they are SO diff
ferent.
The valley lands lying along the
river is used for hay, gardening and
trucking, and back is the broad roll

oats, corn and cotton. We have just
had the first rain in nearly four
months, and sowing the grain has
commenced. 1t was SO dry they could
not pillow until since the rain. These
johnson grass farms are sowed in
grain in the fall after the last crop Of
hay has teen cut, and it is cut and
thrashed in the spring, and three crops
of grass is cut after that if it rains
! enough. They irrigate the gardens
with gasoline engines which pump the
water from the river.

WHICH WILL I TAKEi

Entering the office of a well.knowr
merchant, I lifted my eyes and found
myself confronted with the mos,
thrilling temperance lecture I eve,
steered myself against in the whole
course of my life. 1t was an in.
scription marked with a pen on the
back Of postal card, nailed to the
desk. The inscription read as fol-
lows:

it over hundred times that afternoon.

PRIVILEGE TRADING
WHICH ILLINOIS STATUTES DEs.
iGNATE AS GAMBLING,
is Formally Recognized by Chicago
Board Of Trade-"Puts and
Calls Go.

Chicago, Oct 12.-"Priyilege trad
ing" also known as dealing in puts
and calls" and designated as gambling
by the Illinois statutes, was formally
recognized by the directors of the Chi
cago board of trade today for the first
time since the law against 1t was up
held by the supreme court of the
United States. r.,
Following special meeting of the
directors today, at which room was
set aside for privilege trading" deal
ings in puts and calls" began openly
and with all the rush and enthusiasm
of the days when ''Old Hutch" Joseph
Letter, Ed. Partridge and Norman
Ream dominated the markets.
The room set aside Is known as the
visitors smoking room" and is on the
second floor of the building. One hour
every day. from 1880 to 2:30. 1t will
accommodate those desiring to trade in
puts and calls"
Unless the states attorney or the
police interfere the decision today will
be a heavy blow to- the Milwaukee
board of trade, where many Chicago
firms have held seats for the past few
years for the sole purpose of carrying
on privilege trading. and II is expected
that there will be an exodus. @<

utterance on the subject, there was no

we're in the Philippines with the Taft

opposed to an extra session as the

TO THE GRANDlJURY
ALLIANCE MAN. IS HELD ON FoRa.
ERY AND LARCENY CHARGES.
The Prisoner Spent Considerable Time
In Canton and is Thought to
Have Left Money Here.

Alliance, o :, Oct. 12.-Dionessi SAL
caion, who is charged with having
drawn 1890 from the First National
bank by forging the name of Antonio
oprean, was given his preliminary
hearing before Mayor Walker, Thurs
day, and was held to appear before the
grand jury on two charges-that Of
grand larceny and forgery. Bond was
fixed in each case at $500, which he
was unable to give.
A. l.. Atkinson, assistant cashier
at the bank, who paid out the money;
Jesse A. Crumrine. bookkeeper, and
Frank .Fetters,. assistant bookkeeper,
went upon the stand and we're positive,
in their Identification of Salcaion as
the man who drew The money. I'd
Witnesses we're called from the
Barth boarding house to show when
the accused left there. which was Sun
day afternoon. He then went to Can
ton and stopped over night at the sa-
loon of Joe Welcelean. Salcaion
claims that he was out there all day
Monday until arrested, but Welcelean
went upon the stand and swore that
the Alliance man came to his place
Sunday and left Monday morning
about or 9 o'clock, and was not back
until toward evening of that day. The
officials claim that this would have
given him time to get to Alliance,
draw money, secrete it and get back.
The prisoners story does not hold to-
gether. He claimed that he was with
friends over at Canton on Monday, and
when asked to give their names he
could not do so, but insisted that he
was waiting about the shops for some
of the men to come out whom he de-
sired to see.
Salcaion allowed himself to be led
into a bad trap at the hearing. He
was asked to write the name Of An
tonic Oprean and readily did SO.
When the name was compared with
that written upon the check that drew
out the money, the similarity was SO
apparent that 1t convinced veryone
who saw 1t Of the guilt of the man.
With the exception of the first letter,
A, the writing was exactly the same.
even to certain little peculiarities, and
differed considerably from the sigma
ture of Oprean himself. This writing
Will be held and used against the ac-
cused in his hearing before the grand
jury. i 1ds
The, mystery is as to what the man
did with the money, and the police
have not been able to secure any clue.
1t is thought -thatShe either hid it or
turned itiover to Someone, In Canton.

heart in this city, a. girl in short
dresses, who was at the trial. tas
