body who has common sense can deny
that. But if you haven't the milk to

either buckwheat shorts or wheat mid

Rinsing milk pals and pans with
cold water is all right; but follow
the rinsing with thorough scalding
in pure water. That puts an end to

PEARY WANTED oPTIMISTS.
Was a Cynic and No
Mistake.

Gen. Thomas HI. Hubbard was talking
in New York about the advertisement for
an optimistic surgeon that Lieut. Peary
inserted in the papers before the depart
ure of his expedition.
Gen. Hubbard subscribed $4,000 to the
expedition. Therefore, it is easy to see
that he has profound interest in it, says
the New York Tribune.
'Peary in his advertisement was right"
he said. ct is as ncedful that the ex-
petitions physician be a CHEEKY optimist
as that he be a practical surgeon. OPP
timism and good spirits go far in a voy-
age like this one. Perhaps it is because
there has not been enough optimism and
good cheer among men in the past that
the north pole has not been found.
"When it is found, an optimist, COM
manding band of optimists, will find
it, and there will be no such cynic in
that resolute and successful crew as the
one who sailed with Peary on an earlier
expedition.
"He was indeed cynic Let me give
you an example of his disposition. With
Peary one glorious night he paced the
deck. Pointing to the sky, ablaze with
splendid planets, Peary said:
":Isn't that beautiful star?
'"The cynic with a grunt replied:
"'Did you ever see an ugly one""

in an ideal position to manipulate a
scheme of this kind.
In his selection of men to carry on
his nefarious work he was very care
full. Under no circumstances would he
allow the two men who worked joint
ly to go out together until he had
superintended actual rehearsals of the
parts they were to play in his drama.
When satisfied that each of his men
was thoroughly competent to play his
part, a certain town in certain state
was selected, and one of the men was
started. This man represented him
self as a book agent, canvassing for a
book on the subject of stock raising.
To make the play doubly strong, he
was first required to learn thorough
canvass on this work.
He then engaged horse and buggy
and travelled in the country among the
wealthiest class of farmers. When he
had encountered farmer whom he
considered well-to-do, after canvass
ing him thoroughly on the book, he
arranged to make ais headquarters at
his house for one week while can
wasting that neighbo-hood. As soon
as he was located /. cipher message
was sent to the Chicago headquarters,
and CRATER no. Immediately fol-
lowed.
CRATER No. was supposed to be a
land agent, representing Philadel-
. phia concern, and doing very thrIv-
ing business on commission Before

No. 2 started out. he was given $4,000
in currency, to be at all times desig-
mated as the bank roll"
To make this man thoroughly famil-
lar with land dealers, the hacker spent
considerable time in posting him in
every detail of the work, that there
might be no slip on his part as an
up-to-date land agent.
On alighting from the train No. z
Immediately called at the post office
for instructions from his accomplice,
and, engaging a horse AM buggy,
started after him.
Driving according to directions, he
inquired at every house, in apparent
earnestness, for all the information
possible as to what farms were for sale
or rent. After working in this par
ticular neighborhood for several days,
and stirring things up in general, he
naturally arrived at the home of the
farmer where the book agent was
quartered. He came toward evening,
and, if possible, arranged to remain
over night.
He and his pal, the book agent, had
no trouble in entertaining each other
and making it interesting for the farm
er and his family. After discussing
the different phases of business, and
the topics of the day, the land agent,
in a half boastful way, limited at his
own personal success in life, and final
Iy remarked that he had a couple OF

"You are a fraud" he cries out.
"This is counterfeit money, and you
shant cheat this innocent man out Of
his nose."
Instantly the land agent grabs the
pile OF money, and thrusting 1t into
his pocket, jumps to his feet, and
makes as if to attack the book man.
who stuffs the torn pieces of the note in
his mouth and chews them up.
Of course, the episode causes great
confusion and extreme hard feelings,
between book agent and land agent.
The latter expresses 4 willingness to
allow any banker to examine the
money. The book man insists that the
bill lying on top of the pile is not gem
uine.
"All | ASK the land agent says final.
ly to the farmer, lis to convince you
that | am no swindler, and before
leave the neighborhood, and after our
smart friend here has gone, perhaps
we can do business. We will wait and
see."
The farmer would, of course, feel
very kindly toward the book agent for
his interest, even though he might
have been mistaken about the money.
The land agent now drives off and
the book agent remains with the farm
er, but with the latter's note of $4,000,
payable two years from date, in his
pocket For instead of tearing and
chewing up the real note he had
chewed up fake note which he had
held in his hand during negotiations,
and which was quickly shifted for the
real note at the proper time.
This note, payable in two years, was
sent to the hacker in Chicago, who laid
it away until few days before it was
due, when it was sent to some bank
for collection, with accumulated in
teTest.
When the farmer entered protest
through the bank, the hacker simply
said: 81 know nothing about the mat
ter; all | want is my money. | took
the note in good faith, and unless the
mans signature can be proven fOrg-
cry (Which of course it could not), he
must pay, if he is worth it, and guess
he is"
A few weeks before the note came
due the hacker took pains to get
special report, through the mer-
camille agencies, as to the farmers
financial credit standing.
That all reports and communications
were carefully kept on file, could be
used as evidence of the cautiousness,
good faith and businesslike methods
of the Chicago man.
Making the note payable in two
years was shrewd proposition, and
one that only wealthy man could
have carried through.
The two years given on the note
enabled the grafters to turn other
tricks in the vicinity.
Of course the hacker furnished all
the cash necessary and after the notes
were collected and expenses deducted,
the money left was divided equally be-
tween the three.

A MOTHER-IN-LAW STORY.
Here Is One That Takes It's Rise in
the Great East Side of
Manhattan.

The two great excitements of the East
ender are weddings and funerals, but
the greater of these is the funeral, says
Perry Alden, in The World To-day.
The whole of poor district will be agog
to see the funeral of neighbor, and if
perchance a man, woman or child, has
been so happy as to meet with a violent
death in the factory or in the street,
they turn out in their thousands 10
every possible variety of dress and I'M
dress to do honor to the virtues of the
defunct neighbor 1t is an unhealthy
kind of interest, this morbid excitement,
but such as it is, it plays most impor-
tant part in the life of the poor
A man of my acquaintance who had
lost his wife, for whom am sorry to
say, he had no great liking, was told by
his friends that he would have to ride in
the mourning coach with his mother
in-law. Now. although there was little
love lost between his wife and himself
while she was alive, he had still less af-
lection for his mother-in-law, and so he
obstinately refused to consent to this
arrangement. Finally, he gave way
with the utmost reluctance.
WELL he muttered, 'sif you say I
must s'pose must, but it'll spoil all
the pleasure Of this day

rate of interest, and no security. The
farmer and his wife invariably became
interested, and the next morning ar
rangements would be in progress for
the loan.
To make it look easy to the farmer,
the land agent, after making inquiries
as to the farmers responsibility and
prospects, said: well, l have the
money right here in my pocket
Then he took out roll of large
bills and let them all see it.
by Jove!" remarked the book
agent, 81 wouldn't carry all that
money around with me under any cir
cumstances.
Nor IL the farmers wife would
probably say.
At last a blank note, which the book
agent just happens to have in his pcs
session, is filed out, making the
amount $4,000, due two years from
date, with interest at whatever they
have agreed upon.
While the farmer is signing it, the
land agent takes out his roll of money
and spreads it out in pile. He let's
it remain there, while he looks the
note over. and folds it ready to put
in his pocket.
AT this juncture the book agent, who
has been carefully scrutinizing the top
bill on the pills, grabs the note from
the land agents hand, and apparently
tears it to Dieces-

NEW BUILDING MATERIALS.
Showing Evolution Goes on in Struc-
tural as Well as in Organic
Life.

Much space has been devoted by the
magazines lately to discussion Of the
advantages of concrete in house build
ing One is told, says Youths Com.
panion, that a solid and enduring
structure can be made of the material,
including even the floors and roof, for
little more than the cost of wooden
house, and when the annual bill for
repairs is considered, the ultimate cost
is said to be no greater than wood.
The process of construction is sim.
pie. The walls are made by pouring
into temporary wooden mold NOR
tar of Portland cement, sand and
crushed stone, inclosing steel rods,
pillars or beams. This system of con-
struction has been used occasionally
for many years, but it has lately come
into more general favor. There is a
large concrete church in Brooklyn, and
in western as well as in eastern cities
there are tall buildings composed al
most entirely of concrete-indeed,
many steel-frame buildings are three
fourths concrete-and many residences
of concrete have been erected in va
rious parts of this country.
There is evolution in building as
we'll as in organic life. The earliest
Greek architects were limited by the
fact that they did not know how to
build an arch in stone. When the
Romans developed the arch, larger and
more magnificent structures were
reared, but for centuries they were lin
tied in height because of the limitations
of stone.
Fifty years ago a building five or six
stories high was unusual, even in the
large cities. Then the elevator was in
vented. and less than 20 years ago the
first steel frame building was erected.
Now a 50-story hotel in New York is
planned. 1t may well stand for the ex-
clamation point after ones expression
of wonder at the marvels of modern
Suilding enterprise.
