B0ECK CLEVER
He Took a Flyer In Any
Game That Promised
Big Profit.
LOST ON THE PONIES

New York, May 23.-Tbat j. Edward
Boeck, "the cleverest Jewelry sales
man in the world" was really clever
became known today. Boeck didn't
confne his operations to jewelry
alone. He took a flyer at any old
kind Of business game just so that
1t proved profitable to him and he
usually made good. with one excep-
ton.
He was q mark for the races. There
is no question but that Boeck lost
considerable in trying to beat the pom
les. An indictment was handed down
today by the general sessions grand
jury against Boeck and detectives are
now looking for him. Where Boeck
has gone. is mystery. 1t became
known today that Boeck has had a
wife for some time, and that she is
living In very plain little home
with her father at Tamaqua, Pa, just
outside Of Philadelphia Ine last
trace that the creditors OF Boeck and
the Pinlcertons who are at work
on the case had up to today was that
the missing man had sent letter
a week ago today from Philadelphia
to Edwin w. Dayton. dealer in jew
els, art objects and antiquities, at 4
West seth street. Boeck succeeded in
stinging Mr. Dayton TO the extent Of
about $4,000.
The amounts Of Boeck's stealing ap-
peared to increase today. The FIRST
figure placed on his thievery was
from 100000 TO f250.oo0. It was
learned today that Boeak had got
into Sol. Guggenheim. head of the
Guggenheim Brothers. the copper
people, for borrowed money. Sol
Guggenheim holds a chattel mortgage
az security for the loans. and today
he tried TO levy on the valuable por-
celains and other things OF value in
Boeck's Office at 179 Broadway.

The STORY.

GIN IS a treacherous guide, a mighty
- conqueror, a relentless task mas
ter. He leads by pleasant paths at
first to the ambuscadc where the
soul is enmeshed and overthrow,
and then he turns as the hard task
master and exacts his tribute.
Thus it was with the children Of
Israel. They did evil in the sight of
the Lord and served Baalim. and for
cook the Lord God of their fathers.
80 that the Lord delivered them into
the hands OF spoilers that spoiled
them and into the hands of their
enemies round about so that they
could not any longer stand before
them, and they we're in great dis
tress.
Things had gone from bad 10
worse until at last the king Of Meso-
potamia had descended upon the land
had subdued the cities. and had OK
acted a large tribute. which was
grievous burden for the people to
bear And If the full amount Of the
treasure was not forthcoming he sent
his soldiers 20 force payment

To Cover Furniture.

An original idea for covering furni-

cessful by woman who wished to
have some unsightly chairs in her fur.
nished fiat improved. She bought
lot OF Roman blankets, with wide
dark blue and red stripes. and had an
upholsterer cover her sofa and chairs
with them, just as though he were
using tapestry or velour. These looked
so well that she has her bedroom
chairs also covered with blankets.
having alternate pink and floral
stripes. She had portieres and
inside curtains made OF blankets
matching those on the chairs, and the
effect is really charming, and, as the
blankets are very cheap. they cost
much less than one would suppose.
She says that everything depends
upon the color OF the blankets chosen.
OF course, very pronounced stripes
would be ugly upon furniture, but the
more subdued or delicate colors give
most satisfactory appearance To
room. Here is an opportunity for the
amateur upholsterer to try her hand.
