Ways OF the Interviewer.

Nine. Duse has always had a
strong aversion TO being interview
ed, but the Copenhagen reporters
on one occasion were equal to the
task. One reporter got a situation
as waiter at the hotel where
madame stayed and actually sue
ceeded in serving her at table. An
other got a shoemaker Of whom she
had ordered a pair of boots to allow
him to 20 and take the measure Of
her foot. A third drove the cab in
which she was conveyed from the
railway station to her hotel, and a
fourth contrived to get put on as
an assistant stage machinist at the
theater where she acted. All con-
trived to expand the little bits Of
conversation they overheard into

FINANCIAL FRAUDS
How the Mails of the Country Are DELAYED With
Schemes to Squeeze the Savings from 81
People of Small Means.
By GEORGE B. CORTELYOU.
Secretary of the Treasury.

There is no work under the jurisdic- |
ton of the United States post office |
department which presents more dif |
ficulty to its officials than the admin
istration OF the law relating TO the de
lection and suppression of the swind
lers who use the United States mails
to prosecute a guerilla warfare upon
the people of this country-and espe-
cially upon those whose industry and
thrift have enabled them to put by a
little surplus against the inevitable
rainy day"
have been asked to say few
words on the subject of financial
frauds that operate through the malls.
and take pleasure in responding to
such request in the hope that what
I shall say may have the effect of pre-
venting some Woodworking and thrifty
person, who has contrived by dint of
self-denial to save up a little surplus,
from falling ready prey to the hun
dreds of schemers who are living by
their wits and making fortunes from
honest but credulous individuals
! Perhaps the most important thing
to the possible victim is to know what
are the most common characteristics
of fraudulent schemes-the signs" by
which those familiar with their opera
tions recognize their fraudulent char
acter.
One of these earmarks is the prom
Use of excessive profits or dividends;
another is the actual payment of ex.
cessive dividends--at the start, One
or both of these features invariably
accompany all such schemes. And in
the days when frauds in the mail are
numbered by the thousands and com
petition for the spoils Of the people s
savings is almost as keen as it is in
legitimate lines Of business, the throw
ing of bait in the form of several
large monthly dividends has come tc
be regarded as practical necessity
There WAS time when the mere
promise of big profits was enough tt
insure a liberal response, but to.da,
the use OF dividend bait Is regarded
as necessary and highly profitabl,
investment on the part OF those wht
wish to secure the largest possible re
turns.
The great Fund w" swindle, on
Grated in Chicago in the early '9Os
may be cited in illustration of tn
type. 1t is especially typical not onl,
because of it's immense success bu
because it has apparently furnishe
the model upon which many succeed
ing frauds have been based. 1t /

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above
question, and Our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent med;-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact anv
business does. Therefore we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
full of what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line OF remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu- Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time of the year. Mucu-Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent. of its pur
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-Tone
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from a
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
of little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
my little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuffs and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Nlucu- Tone,
but / could not believe that any,
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose. However, | took advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. want
to say right here that Mucu-Tone
is certainly the greatest medical
discovery of4the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catar-h completely.
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan St,
Albany, N. W
we diS SSliiiiS d idt Se tlidl pol-
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
of your money back if you are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesl' on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.

NO INCREASE IN THE
ASSESSMENT THIS YEAR

County Assessor w. L. Morris re-
turned from Denver Wednesday night
where he attended the annual meeting
of the assessors and the members OF
the state board OF equalization the FIRST
OF the week. Mr.. Morris says that on
account Of the peculiar conditions pre-
vailing in this section, the state board
OF equalization will not change the
assessment and that taxes will be sub
stanually the same as they were last
year. It was feared by Mr.. Morris that
the assessment in Fremont county
would be Increased this year and the
announcement that It would not be
interfered with was very gratifying to
him. The assessment rolls in this
county would have shown q much
larger total IL It had not been for the
unfortunate frost last spring. There
has been a material increase In the
amount Of taxable property In the
state as whole during the last
twelve months. according to Mr..
