CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
Purloiner o. Cake Of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine conscience that would
span 20 years and drive man to re-
member a theft of n cake of soap.
That there is such a conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had small store
In St Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had a showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
OF special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was so small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received a letter from
the thief, which read:
Dear Sir: | send you two cakes
OF soap in payment for one | took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. l recently saw your advertise
ment in country paper and learned
Of the change of your place Of busi-
ness. | regret deeply having taken the

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust.
ness is the natural outgrowth of tho
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
yloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE,
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by tho
Mennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM.
, FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men.
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur.
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peuna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned TO trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, Nov. ga would
be swindler was cleverly caught at
Davenport, a few days ago, after at
tempting to swindle George Sharp, a
farmer residing near here, out of 81
100. Mr.. Sharp some years ago made
a loan with the German Insurance
company, of Freeport, Ill. When that
company failed, the Sharp mortgage
was sold to a John Hume, of Daven-
port. In August, Mr.. Sharp decided to
exercise his option to pay off the mort
gage on Sept /, SO he had Mr.. Mof-
felt, our abstraeter, write a letter to
John Hume, at Davenport, telling him
that Mr.. Sharp desired to pay off the
mortgage, and asking him to send the
First National bank, of this place. In
reply to this letter, came a letter signed
"John Hume" stating that the mort
gage and other papers had been lost
in moving, and asking Mr.. Moffett to
arrange q method by which the money
could be paid without the delivery OF
the original papers. This kind of COR
respondence was carried on for some
time, when Ficke & Ficke, attorneys
for the owner of the mortgage, Mr..
Hume, wrote Mr,Sharp asking him for
payment of the interest on the mort
gage. 1t was then discovered that the
party who had been writing in the
name Of John Hume was in imposter
and forger and was not the real own
er of the mortgage, and that neither
the mortgage nor the notes had been
lost, but were in fact i'm the possess
sion of Fcke & Ficke. The matter was
then taken up by Ficke & Ficke and
Williamson & Willoughby of this place,
who We're acting as attorneys for Mr..
Sharp, and a release Of mortgage and
affidavit stating that the signer was
the owner of the mortgage, and that
the same was lost We're sent to the
writer of the letters, and he signed
and swore to them and returned them
here.
A decoy letter was then written by
the First National bank Of this place
to John Hume, and registered and the
imposter called at the postoffice and
signed for the letter, and was there
upon promptly arrested by detectives
who were watching for him. When he
was arrested, it was learned that the
imposter was a John Humes, la
borer, who had formerly been a brake
man; that he had been telling some of
his friends that he was expecting some
money from some of his relatives That
he had obtained possession of the let
ter by reason of the similarity Of the
names. He claims that he was just
seeing how far he could go with Mr.
Sharp, but that he did not intend to
take the money. He was unable to Sc
cure bail, and was returned to Jail to
await a hearing. Several" charges, in
Guiding forgery, are likely to be- laid
against him. Mr.. Sharp has since paid
off the mortgage to the real ownef, and
feels that he is very fortunate to es-
cape from so dangerous a character.
