Psychology Of count.rfeitins a Puzzle

his thoughts dwell upon queer
money is caught hard and fast un-
less he gets the idea out of his
head as soon as it enters" said a
secret service official. 1T is fun
ny, though, how the game attracts
a man who is otherwise honest. The
man who is attracted at first by the
prospect Of making money in this
way argues that he is doing no
wrong.
ale simply says to himself that
he will make a few thousand dol
lars OF spurious money and then
shove it out in a safe way. He ar
CUES with himself that the money
will be accepted by every one and
that it really is the same as the
money stamped as legal tender by
the government and only the gov

the easier the thing seems. Ten

les, and any man with a simple
knowledge of metals, il he has the
proper dies, can turn out a pretty
fair representation of a dollar or
other silver coin.
Most Of the old time counter
feiters have gone ont Of business
or are serving terms in peniten-
tiaries, and many of the spurious
coins made at the present time
are manufactured by men who are
respected in the communities in
which they live.
"Counterfeiting bank notes i.

coins, but after man has bcen

WRONG FOOD
Causes World of Trouble.

If we only realized it. we are the principal cause of our own misfortunes, and eating improper food Is 8 large factor in the makeup.
 By giving a little thought to the question of what we ought and ought not to eat. we can make things much more pleasant for ourselves ald oth- CTS.
 Some time ago I was in the habit of eating buckwheat cakes, sausage. fried potatoes and coffee for break fast" writes N. Y. lady.
 T was troubled with headache and indigestion, but thought ledicine would relieve me. Finally I saw my mistakes and made up my mind tlat the cause of my trouble was in the food I was eating.
 About this time l saw Grape-Nuts mentioned in our paper and I began to eat 1t with cream for breakfast and to drink Postum instead of coffee.
 T not only found them delicious but they corrected the headache and indl- gestion, and feel like new person. My mind Is clearer, nerves ste1dy, my step has spring in 1t and I feel like singing all the time" There's Rea- son.

 After reading this letter, MT. Hearst said
 Mir. Sibley does not say who Sena- tor B. is, and we will have to guess. It can't be Senator Bulley, as there is no Senator Bulley.
 There is a Senator Bailey. and we have heard his name mentioned before in connection with Standard oil.
 Another thing that makes me sus- pfcious is the letter from Mir. Arch bold asking Senator Bailey to come down to New York and step up to the Captains offices. "2-6 Broadway, New York"

 Mobile. Sept. 19.--(Special Jon the charges of burglary and dangerous and suspicious. Nathan Wolf. a negro, was tried before the Recorder and his cases continued to get more witnesses. Wolf, it Is stated by the police. fol- lowed Misses Julia Parker and Bessie Layton. young white women, last night while on their way home. and kept consistently close to them. no matter how they tried to evade him.
 The young women becoming alarmed and meeting John Convy and Theodore Howell, JS., told them of their predica- ment. The young men watched the negro and whe en it became apparent that he was following the young wo- men, the young fellows closed in on and captured him.
 This morning Mrs. R. A. woullard, living at Conception and Charleston Streets. called at police headquarters and positively identified Wolf as the negro who entered her home during Wednesday night An additional charge of burglary was then placed against him.
 The cases were called before the Re- corder, but on account of absence of several witnesses and the State wish. ing to get more witnesses the case was continu ed.

BONAPARTE IS HOT
ATTORNEY-GENER MAKES RE-
 PLY TO BRYAN.
Says He and Roosevelt Have Tried Faithfully to Put Trust Mag
 mates in Jail, But Law Bars Them.

Baltimore, Sept. 1s.-The News this afternoon says:
 Attorney General Bonaparte, who was in Baltimore today, made a sharp answer to the charge which William J. Bryan has been repeating frequently of late, that the present administra- ton has not squared its performances with Its promises by putting some trust magnate in jail.
 Prom the time I became Attorney General to the present" said MT. Be- naparte, it has been the earnest de- l sire of the President. as well as my own. to do every thing possible in a proper case. have been compelled, however to advise against a prosecu- ton in every instance suggested, be- cause I did mot believe 1t would be successful, and I did not wish to give the defendant the benefit of an unmer- ited whitewashing.
 "In the case of nearly all the great combinations and cancellations which individuals prominent in their man agement were parties. violations took place from ten to twenty years ago, and even if they occurred after the enactment of the sherman antitrust law, had long since been barred by limitations when l assumed my pres ent ofice.
 You will remember that with re- speCt to crimes against the Uhited States the period of limitations is only three years.
 Tn our report on the postal frauds, MT. Holmes Conrad and I suggested that this period ought to be engthened and the President so recommended. but Congress took no action on the sub ject.
 Tt is, of course, true that ofacers of corporations Gan be held responsi- ble for corparate acts in which they are proved beyond reasonable doubt to have individuality participated, but while it is comparatively easy to prove the act of the corporation, 1t Is usually very difficult. often, altogether impos- sible, to obtain legal evidence to con- vict individual officers ar partici- pants.
 While, therefore, I am well aware that certain newspapers and other pur- veyors to the public, what Speaker Cannon calls wind and ink have been crying out loudly for some trust magnate to be put behind the bars, have always found this advice to he of the same character as that generally given by bystanders to the smaller boy In a street fight, namely. go in and win,' which, as Dickens wisely remarks, | is an excellent thing to do when one | can do it, but not an especially good | thing to try to do when one can not.'

Atlanta, Ga. Sept 1s.-At 1 o'clock this afternoon the extra session of the General Assembly of Georgia call ed together by Governor Hoke Smith to provide a new penitentiary system finished their work and adjourned sine die.
 The bill leaves any conwicts not talk en by counties on pro rata distribu- tion. not taken by municipalities at s100 per year, not needed on the State farm or other State institutions, to be disposed of at the discretion of the Governor and the prison commission.
