A Case of Spring Catarrh.
Mrs N. P. Lawler, 423% N. Broadway,
Pittsburg, Kas., writes: Last spring I
caught a severe cold, which developed
into serious case of catarrh- 1 felt
weak and sick, and could neither eat
nor sleep well
'sA member of our club who had been
cured of catarrh through the use of Pc
runa advised me to try it, and did SO
at once. I expected help, but nothing
like the wonderful change for the better
1 observed almost as soon as I started
taking it. In three days i felt much
better, and within two weeks was in
fine health. Peruna is wonderful
medicine"

In the letter opened I found three

taken from the letter and marked.

at the time, and 1 said to him, loud
enough for the two men under arrest
to hear:
".That's funny. Jacobs told us
there were three of these bills

Counterfeiters Caught.
An illustration of careful detective
work is Burns method in running
down two counterfeiters from Cen
trail America. They were Gen. Freder
leo Mora and Ricardo de Requisens.
These two men had been making
counterfeits in the United States of
the 100 peso notes of Costa Rico. Our
government was asked to apprehend
the counterfeiters, and Burns was en-
trusted with the job. Others had
worked at it before, but all Burns had
to start with was a sofa wrapped up
in burlap in which $3,000,000 of the
counterfeit notes had been stuffed for
shipment to Costa Rica- On the bur-
lap was the mark, Xxx 1884,
Starting from this, Burns found that
the burlap had been originally used
in packing a shipment of overalls from
a factory in Newburg. 1t was the
shipping number. In Newburg Burns
went over the books of the factory
ana IOunQ CndC CnOS6 particular over
alls had been shipped to dry goods
store in Long Island City. There they
told him that they had recently sold
a piece of burlap to an old lady by
the name of Mrs. Chevins. 1t did not
look promising.
But when Burns learned that Mrs.
Chevins had a son-in-law, one Ricar
do de Requisens, who hailed from Cos
ia Rica, he thought the trail was get
ting warm.
De Requisens was living with q
young widow from Pittsburg at the
house of his mother, Mrs. Chevins.
Burns placed De Requfsens and the
widow under arrest. Then he sent.
one of his men to the Jail with an al
legged message to the effect that if he
would produce the plates of the coun-
terfeit notes the government would
abandon his prosecution.
After the messenger left, De Requis-
ems was visited by his mother-in-law.
When she left him Burns followed her
to her home in Long Island City.

automobile.
Look at him," he exclaimed. He
is as placid and dignified as a lord

Burns was leaning back at his ease
in the rear seat of the big tonneau,
Immediately groomed, with a look

The lawyers associated with Heney
! in the prosecution of Abe Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz were in the room at
the time, and they fell into a discus
sion of the man.
Methodicai in Everything.
What interests me most about
Burns is that he never misses a
meal" said Cobb, Heney's partner.
Il never saw him in too much of a
hurry to take his hour for dinner at
| the regular time. He is methodical
| in everything. 1t is all in a day 8
work with Burns, and when he turns
in at night he sleeps like top"
Yet he never procrasrinates," put
in District Attorney Langdon. 4
asked him the other night if he
thought he could get man we want
ed and bring him to the Office in the
morning"
What's the matter with getting
him now?' said Burns Taking down
| the receiver from the phone he call
/ ed up a saloon. His man was there.
Burns told him it would be better for
his health to surrender himself at
our Office without delay The man
came at once"
| What interests me about Burns
put in ]. Dwyer, another of the at
| torneys of the graft prosecution, lis
his personality. He gets the men he
IS after to like him. Ruef likes him
now better than any of his own men.
| until you can't believe Burns is work
| ing all the time to land Ruef in San
Quentin prison.
He can mimic a Frenchman, an
t;nglishman, a Dutchman to perfec-
ton, and the stories he tells sound
] like good Sction. l believe it is his
magnetism as much as his persist
snce that wins for him.
