Green Goods Machine

The first man reappeared from the
house shortly after with a large tin
box resembling typewriter cover,
and he was at once arrested by De-
tectives Farrell and Daggan. AT
headquarters he gave his name as
Charles Hoeffier, of 449 North Fourth
street, Philadelphia, and declined to
make any statement. He was charg-
ed with attempting to swindle Rosen-
garten out of $4,000 by fraudulent me-
thods
The money machine caused much
curiosity at headquarters. On the
outside it looked like a typewriter,
but inside the outer case were two
smaller tin cases, one of which fitted
into the other. In the bottom of
the larger and lower tin case was a
set of storage batteries attached by
wires to a "buzzer," which was
fastened on the outside of the upper
box. Then there were a number of
hollow and formidable looking cy-
finders, which gave a very business
like appearance to the whole.
The upper of the two boxes was
the one where the transformation of
money took place. This box had a
false bottom The roll of queer"
money was put into this box first. OF
course this bundle was supposed to
contain good money, but it was not.
Then on the underside of this box
the victims good money was placed,
and then the box was inverted.
New Money Had to Be Dried
A medicine chest was one of the
adjuncts to the outfit, and after the
money was put in, various fluids were
poured in on top of the bad money un-
til it was thoroughly wet, and then
the "buzzer' was pushed, the cylin-
ders whirred, and the money was on
the way to be turned out
Of course, the bad money came out.
but it was SO wet that it was hardly
recognizable. Therefore, it was plac-
ed in a press, locked by a paddock
and the victim would be told to leave
it there three hours to dry out.
At the expiration of three hours
the detectives figured a first-class
locksmith could open the press in an
other hour. Four hours is long
time with good train service, and the
note swindlers could be far on their
way toward Canada in that time.

three or four days after one is killed before it

killed and never do come ashore.
Each hunter marks his bullets with mark

the finder is to look for the bullet and ascer-

Sometimes an otter, on receiving a death
shot, sinks; but the hunter generally knows
when he has hit his mark. BY observing the
water with glasses, he can discern, even at
the greater distances which they shoot, the
coloring of the water from the blood Of the

IT VERY boy and every girl appears to
r. have a fondness for live pets and
Il for the boy or girl who lives in the
country, or even the suburbs OF a
city, the plain, everyday rabbit fills long
felt want. The only trouble about keeping
live animals is that they require and must
have care and attention every day, and many
boys and girls grow tired of the novelty after
a while. Then the animal suffers.
Once you start out to keep rabbits make
up your mind that you will not shirk the
little duties, because the pleasure sure to
come will more than repay you for the few
minutes spent now and then to see that the
rabbits are cared for properly.
1t is not necessary that your rabbits should
be expensive ones, one rabbit is just as
god pet as another, no matter how much
he may cost. Buy good but cheap rabbits
and spend more time and money in making
them comfortable.
Always give your rabbits nice home If
you can do no better a dry goods box fixed
up as a house will be blessing to the ami
mails. Cut in little doors and windows so
as to let in fresh air, but have the windows
SO arranged that in cold OF stormy weather

shaped piece down on one side between the

removed. and the skin is dried and laid away
ready for the market.
IAN average skin is about five feet long by
twelve inches wide ldoublel, or, when cut,
twenty-four inches wide, and in the hunters
hands is valued at from ninety to one hum

leave a handsome margin to the fur men who
handle them. In Russia, an overcoat made
from these same otter skins brings from one
thousand to two thousand dollars, while In
China even more is sometimes paid.
