Two Kinds of Reading.

If we make the pages of our books
merely a sort of pleasant maze in
which to set our minds to wandering
during idle hours we in reading shall
have acquired a pastime that is usually
harmless. But there is vast differ
ence between such a way of spending
our time and the reading that teaches
us to think as the greatest and wisest
men and women have thought Words
stand in our minds for certain ideas
or images. From what we read we
learn to make these plain or hay, clear
ly drawn pictures or carelessly execut-
ed sketches, and thus our powers OF
thinking are directly trained by our
method Of reading-St. Nicholas ,.

A NEW MATRIMONIAL JueeLER
Chicago Authorities Discover Ancth-
err Who Worked Hoch's Tricks.


Chicago, Feb. The Chronicle says
that there is another matrimonial Jug
gler in Chicago like Johann Hoch
may soon be established through a
discovery just made by the police.
This discovery incidentally necessi-
tates checking off many of the aliases
claimed to have been used by Hoch,
under which name he was reported to
have married Mrs. Mary Schultz, of
Argos, Ind, in 1900, a woman who
has never been seen or heard of since
the month of her marriage. Other of
his aliases may be checked off in the
same way later.
Albert Bushteberg or Buschberg is
the name which Hoch was believed
to have once used. The police have
learned that another man, also a Ger
man, who advertised for wives in
German newspapers on the Hoch plan,
used this alias. This man is unknown
in Chicago, and is declared to be
married to woman whom he met by
means of an advertisement in the
newspapers and through communica-
ton with employment agents.
