SMOOTH SWINDLER WORKS
a GOOD GAME FOR MONEY

Notice has been received at the pO-
lice station and the sheriff's Office ask
ing the local authorities to look out
for one John L. Butler, alias John
Hoover, Alias John H. Kline. who is
wanted by the authorities in Adams
county, ILL.,, on charge of forgery
and obtaining money under false pre-
te ses.
He has smooth scheme. which is
very apt to be worked on real estate
men and money loaners. 1t Is not
new scheme, by any means. but In var
ious forms has been worked for a
number of years. The scheme used
by Butler is as follows and from the
reports he has been very successful
with it so far.
A short time after arriving in the
country. lie will look up farms that
are for sale. usually some distance
from the county seat. He tells the
farmer that he is widower and is
buying the farm for his son or some
other relative with whom he intends
to live He asks him If there is Il
notary public near there who can ac-
knowledge the papers that are nec-
essary to be drawn. Learns there Is
a notary at the village near the farm.
He then asks the farmer if he has an
abstract of his farm and gets. If pos
sible, the loan to look it over. He
then persuades the farmer and his
wife to go with him to the notary to
give him either a power Of attorney
to sell the land for them or to sign an
agreement to sell the land to him upon
the payment of a certain price. usual
~ very good one. This power of
attorney or contract is then acknow-
lodged by the farmer and his wife be-
fore the notary who signs his name to

seal thereon. After getting this seal.
he either makes or has had an exact
duplicate thereof Then he goes to
the county seat and calls upon some
real estate men or lawyer and tells
him that he is about to buy this par
ticular farm, in some instances even
taking the farmer with him to verify
these statements to the lawyer. He
then asks the lawyer or real estate
man to look over the abstract, or If the
farmer should have none. to make one
and to carefully examine the records
and see If the title is perfect. This is
done and everything found all right.
He then asks the lawyer, or real es-
tate man to draw up a proper paper
for the farm, and to give the deed to
him to take to the farmer to get 1t ex-
ecuted, or, if this is refused to him,
directs the lawyer to mail the deed

says, as he is paying cash for the
farm, that his ready money will be

rail at the boy for keeping late hours
when his father is careless in this
respect.
We asked teacher recently. Have
you any bad boys in your schools" His
reply delighted us. He said: There
are no bad boys or bad girls in my
school. They are all good children"
Who can doubt the assured success
OF ii parent or teacher who has no
bad boys or bad girls?
Children should be placed upon hon
or AMI they should all be called good
until proven differently, and even they
should be encouraged to join the ranks
OF the good children.
Some teachers and parents. too. re-
gard all children as bad until proven
By the most severe test to be good, and
even then they are watched with sus-
picion and wrongly accused in appar-
ent hope OF proving them bad.
We believe children desire the ap-
probation of their parents. teachers
and superiors as rule and are willing
to struggle for that appreciation If they
but see a glimmer of light. but when
all is dark and dismal, when they re-
ceiye no praise for commendable eff

courage:
The good boy exists today. In fact
there are comparatively few really
bad boys, and these may be brought
into line by proper methods.
The natures of the sexes are widely
different in the manner OF resenting
injuries or taunts, and these should be
! considered in the handling OF children.
No boy was ever made better by

The School System.

Leeds News: Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Cas-
caden of Nanton, Alberta, arrived in
the city last Friday for visit with
some Of their old-time friends in this
vicinity. Before coming here they had
been visiting their daughter Myrtle,
who is attending the state university
at Grand Forks. Mr.. Cascaden says
he likes the country we'll. but is not
very favorably impressed with their
school system. 1t appears they have
a teachers examination only once a
year, and the authorities will not
recognize a certificate from any insti-
tuition outside of Canada, no matter of
what grade. The consequences are
that they are short of teachers and the
rural schools are not running.
The Good Boy and Others.
Critics and pessimists have had so
much to say about the bad boy" the
boy problem" and kindred subjects,
boy as a necessary evil. The boy him.
self has heard so much about bad boys
that he naturally feels that the gen.
eral public looks upon all boys with
suspicious eye.
The good boy has hard struggle
he keenly feels the epithets hurled ut
the bad boy; he receives no encourage
ment for his manly struggle to do
right, and If he succeeds In evading
punishment for some other boys
wrong doing he is SO often wrongly
accused that it is but little wonder
he does not give up in despair and
Join the ranks of his more careless as
sociates
Charity or false pride has kept the
bad girl" out of the newspapers and
school journals, yet it is the convic-
ton of many teachers and parents that
the bad girl is much more disagree
able than the bad boy, that she is
much harder to subdue and bring
under control. She has peculiar
spirit of resentment by which she in
flicts misery upon herself in the hope
of gaining sympathy. which she often
does. The bad boy will defend HIM
self so far as he can.
There is, after all, manly spirit
prevalent with the so-called bad boy,
a spirit that entities him to be placed
on the roll of honor with the "goody-
good" boy. With heroic effort he will
often shield his less fortunate compan-
ion.
Boys have a strong desire to be
manly and to do things men are doing.
so that after all much OF the evil they
do is done from spirit of emulation
and misguided Judgment.
Is it any wonder boy deceives his
mother and steals away in the dark
ness to smoke his first cigar or take
his first "quid" OF tobacco? He not
only sees most men smoking and chew
ing and smoking in apparent happiness
but he sees his father whom boy
should desire to emulate doing all
these things.
When we remember how hard it is
for man to resist the many evils that
surround him, is it any wonder that
the young boy yields to the numerous
temptations and bad environments?
The thing to do is to quit accusing
the boy and help him in his heroic
struggles to be a good boy. Show the
SINE charity towards him that you

Among those who watched this work
was Thomas Ro,khill, "pioneer of
pioneers. Hoary headed, but active
beyond his years, he gazed at the
toilers with beaming eyes. Perhaps
his mind went back TO the long ago,
when he was prospector, struggling
to hold his claims and keep body and
soul together perhaps he thought of
the many battles he fought with the
wolf at the door, or of the men who
had come and gone, the men OF little
faith, or small courage, who were un-
equal in the contest with want and
depair through which he had emerged
triumphant noble in having en-
dned so much and achieved so much
than blessed in the wealth that at last

bravely waited. Younger men, who
are in Ely to share in the prosperity
that has come to the camp, passed ana

happy in their youth and health, or too
deeply engrossed with their own plans,
to dwell much up on the history oil TINS
veteran of forty years war, but men
who knew him and his work for Ely
bowed with respect as the old men,
whose heart could not be broken by dis
appointment, passed their way.
Another figure that attracted atten-
ton was that of Mark l.. Requa, the
man who ended Ely's grim, grinding
struggle of forty years and through the
force Of his genius, single handed won
the battle in a few years that hundreds
of other men, united, had failed to
achieve in two generations. 1t takes
nothing from his laureis to say that the
art of smelling has improved in recent
years and made his victory possible-he
it was that forced the worlds copper
kings to think of Ely.
