IN the history Of tfrenzied finance
wy this country, ard in the entire
world for that matter, no case the
equal Of that of Mrs Chadwick has
ever been known. Recent disclosures
nave startled fnaneiers and business
men everywhere. How this woman,

bankers and hard-headed business men

5cufitles and bogus notes seems almost
#beyond comprehension, but it seems
only too true.
Until the suit of Herbert D. Newton,

OF loan Of $3.50, 800, and the failure
OF the Oberlin CO., national bank, few
of her victims suspected she was any
thing but what she represented her

woman. Then as the news of her sew

history of her life gradually became
known. and most strange and inter

When her note came due she did not

in jail. Her trial took place at the

Just before Christmas several years
ago, Mrs. Chadwick walked into a
Cleveland toy store and pulled out

officials, was two yards long. Nothing
but toys was on the list. and when Mrs.
Chadwick had finished buying, her bill
was in the neighborhood Of $500 Dolls
galore were bought. Mrs. Chadwick

100, the price to range from one to
three dollars each. Personally she
made no selections, leaving that to the
clerks who waited on her. but when
the bin was presented it was paid at
once. The toys We're distributed among

She has no antlers, but she can use
her great sharp hoofs with the skill of

to pound to death a large black bear,
and fairly trampl@ his body into the
ground. The calf stays with his
mother for two or three years, or un-

eyes wide open, as If with astonish-
ment.
Like all American deer, the 4:bul1'
moose sheds and renews his antlers
every year. They become full-grown,
hard and sharp, about the first of Oe-
tober, the beginning OF the breeding
season. At this time Of year, the bulls
are very savage, and not only fight
furiously among themselves. but are
apt to attack anything or anybody
who comes in their way. The cali of
the bull is q 1ong-drawn baWl with
several loud grunts at the end If
there is a COW within hearing, she will
answer with low cry. and the bull"
will come forward to meet her Hunt-
ers often take adyantage of this fact,
and attract the bull, by an imita-
ton of the call of the cow, executed
on cone-shaped horn made OF birch
bark Lying concealed on the bank
of a lake or stream, they give out the
call, and when the bull comes within
range they shoot him. But as this
trick Is usually played al night, and
as the bull sometimes never gives any
warning of his coming until he is al
most on the spot, the sport is apt TO
be dangerous, The bull, at such
time, Is in no mood 10 be trifled with.
and unless the hunter is cogI-headed
and a good shot. the moose Is not only
willing, but very able, to kill him, ana
a dozen like him, if they happened to
be on the spot.

a wild. free life is the only one
which moose can live and thrive.
In captivity it's much less nervous
than most deer. and is disposed to be
gentle and even affectionate. But as
a rule It will live but a short time,
even though it gets the same food
which It had In its native woods It
may appear to relish its food, but it
will grow to no great size, and id
