of Police Buggy. descriptive of one
Mrs. Edith A Seton whose descrlp-
ton closely fits Mrs. Marie Tisdale and
the schemes followed are exactly SINH

ton is wanted by the San Francisco
office for passing fictitious checks on
merchants. The plan is to start a
dressmaking establishment and open a
small account in one of the local
banks, and to pay for all goods by
checks. This is kept up until she pos
sesses the confidence of the business

An account was opened in the Valley
bank. Want ads were inserted in the
newspapers and negotiations for trade
were begun. The women did shop
ping at the several stores which they
evidently had staked out for future
indulgences. They bought considerable
goods, always paid by checks and the
checks were good and honored at the
bank. Most pleasant and cordial COM
mercial relations were soon establish
ed with many firms, leading up to the
final denouement. The first clash
which occurred was in the Boston
store Friday. when one of the women
wanted to pay for some goods by
checks and the bank said that there
was no money TO the credit of the &C
count though there had been. Marie"
explained that she had a draft for
some $500 which she would deposit
later. but had not yet had an oppor-
tunity to do so. Her later pleas SEEM
ed plausible enough and a $25 check
was taken in payment and the balance
in money turned over to her. The
same method was followed with the
other stores. At Wakelin's she owed a
grocery bill of about SIS, and she

JOHN BULL INVESTIGATES.
BLOWS AT BUCKtlSH0PS
Our British Cousins Likely to Follow
Example of United States in Driving
Out Those Places of Fraud.

Washington, D. c., June 3-Suecial
correspondence of The Republican,
Great Britain. at last awakened to a
realization of what the bucket-shop
swindle does to its unsuspecting pub
lie, is investigating what has been
done in the United States to put these
places out of business. What makes
this fact more significant is the fact
that "bucket-shops" had their origin
in England.
1t has taken many years of loss and
cogitation for England to come to the
decision to knock out the counterfeits
of the legitimate exchanges. those spe-
culation-s shops where the use of the
forms of real trade tricks the public
out of millions of dollars annually.
Without the example of the United
States it is doubtful If such an action
would have been taken, although the
British people have been fleeced for
years. For John Bull, while anxious
to protect the people at large. is solic-
itous not TO enact any legislation
which would hamper necessary specu-
lation. which has governmental en-
dorsement under the Sale of Goods
Act of 1885," anxious not to throw the
trade and commerce of the land into
chaos. This is an exaggeration of the
caution expressed recently by Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he said: The
great bulk of the business transacted
on the Exchanges is not only legiti-
mate, but is necessary to the working
of our modern industrial system. and
extreme care would have to be taken
not to interfere with this business in
doing away with the bucket-shop type
operations"

cent growth, has assumed such prodi-

Many good people are 10th to give
up coffee, even though they admit
that it is doing them harm, because
they fear that nothing else in the
way of a hot beverage will satisfy
them. A school teacher says:
Il always enjoyed coffee for break

it. But in time 1 began to experience
bad results from it's use. 1 grew
