AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER.
The Daring Scheme That Was Worked
by a German Doctor.


Near a small village I'm one Of the
lake states lived western millionaire
Tn seclusion with his little daughter
and few servants. The child was af-
flcted with rare cerebro spinal com
plaint, most unpleasant manifesto
tion OF which was frequent hic-
cough, and eminent physicians, both
In America and Europe, had pronounc-
ed the case organic and incurable.
Later there came to live In the VII
lage widow with little girl affected
similar to the mllllonalre's daughter
This child was n delicate, flower faced
creature, wistful from the isolation
that must have been her sad lot, and
the peculiar bark-like hlccough which
she made ut once attracted the mil.
llonaire's attention. and, being big
hearted If rather ignorant man, he
gave the mother employment about bis
home and showercd the afflicted child
with presents.
Perhaps four months after the wild
Owls advent an eccentric German doc.
tor settled I'm the village, and. his serv-
Ices being sought by the widow. he
gave her child treatment. with the re-
suit that II was completely cured.
The Millionaire Immediately sought to
place his own daughter under the
Germans care, but the latter fatty re-
fused to take the case. He was
Socialist OF violent type and would
have nothing 10 do with man whose
wealth exceeded the sum that he had
fixed upon as the lawful limit OF ma
terlal possession.
Finally, however, after the father
had patiently borne the grossest In
suits the German agreed to give the
afflicted child treatment on condition
that the other would first deed over a
large tract OF land In Texas for n SO
clallst colony and pay him for his fee
sum little short Of $4,000. This the
millionaire did, but rs soon as the doc
tor had cashcd the check he disappear

the wealthy man realized that, blinded
by paternal love, he had been made the
victim OF an ingenious swindlc.

Don't Fall To See This.

Although great deal is being said
just now regarding the campaign which
is being waged against tuberculosis in
all parts of the civilized world, it is
doubtful whether or not many people
really understand the true meaning of
this campaign. Contrary TO the popu-
lar idea. this work is not charitable
work in the sense that almsgiving is
charity. An anti-tuberculosis campaign
means not so much the caring for the
victim of the disease as it does the re-
moval of the cause of the disease and
the prevention Of its spread. 1t means
that we shall recognize the right of
every member of the community to pro-
lection from every preventable disease,
and tuberculosis in the final analysis is
absolutely preventable IL means more
education along this line, both inside
and outside the schools; better living
conditions, better water and air, less
disease and death and more happiness
generally.
This is something which comes home
to the people of Worcester County.
Although perhaps not generally known,
the official records show that over twen-
ty per cent. Of the deaths occurring in
the county are due to tuberculosis,
per cent. higher than that for any other
county in the state. There are at least
three people i'll with the disease to every
death, The tuberculosis Commits
sion. appointed by Senator John Walter
Smith while Governor, has estimated
the total annual cost of this disease in
the State of Maryland at not less than
ten million dollars. sum which is abb
solutely wasted because expended upon
a preventable disease.
The travelling exhibit of the Mary
land Association for the Proven
ton and Relief of tuberculosis. which
will be located at the Court House,
December 18th and 18th, will tell the
story in convincing manner. What
we want TO know are the plain facts:
we want the truth. The meetings held
in connection with the exhibit, of which
announcement will be made next week,
constitute an opportunity which should
be improved by every public-spirited
citizen of Snow Hill and vicinity.

State Entomologist I. Il. Symons.
has completed an investigation Of the
bee industry in Maryland, and has Sc
cured data showing that nearly a mil
lion pounds Of honey is produced annual
ly in the state. He believes that the
bees, If given proper care and attention.
could be made to do better work. Zone
colony of bees in good, vigorous con-
dition. in field so verdant as the State
of Maryland, he said Wednesday,
Should produce from rs to 100 pounds
of honey yet the total production
shows that the average per colony is
only about 20 pounds. The investiga-
ton so far, shows that the majority Of
beekeepers are greatly in need of in
formation. both as to the handling and
care of bees, as well as the production
and sale of honey.
"A large per cent. of bees are lost
annually through winter killing. which
can easily be prevented. There is a
big loss of swarms of bees in this state
at swarming time. through lack of
methods of preventing the bees from
escaping. A destructive disease, known
as foul brood, has broken out in many
parts of the state, destroying many
thousands of bees. The bee moth is
also doing considerable injury. No
state presents a more favorable sur
rounding for bee keeping than Mary
land. The state abounds with the rich
est sources from which great supplies
Of honey may be drawn. When we
consider that there are some men in
this state who are making Bookkeeping
their sole occupation, we can see that
there are great possibilities in this
comparatively undeveloped side line of
agriculture. Every farmer or fruit
grower should keep bees. Bees per-
form an important service in pollinating
the crops.
For these reasons. the bee-keepers
of the State have decided to organize
into state association in order that
they may be able to get together and
discuss the up-to-date methods of api-
culture. A campaign of education is
desired both for producers and con-
sumers. Legislation is needed against
the adulteration Of honey, to make it
possible for all persons who are now
keeping bees to add to their revenue
by the production of honey. and to in
crease both the quantity and quality of
the honey produced in the State, and
finally to make Maryland prominent as
