BOGUS CHECK; BOGUS CURRENCY
Forgers' Little Game Not as Easy as
II Seemed.

The two strangers boldly entered
the towns imposing bank building, TO
which they had been directed, and APP
preached the cashiers window.
What's this for?" inquired the man
behind the window as one of the
strangers deposited a bogus check on
the slab.
Check for 5000. Can't you read?
Well" replied the cashier. smiling
ly, scrutinzing the piece of paper
you'll have to be identified, you
know"
The first forger pointed to his com
panion, This gentleman'll identity

AS the second man stepped forward
the cashier looked him over.
We'll, | guess it's all right. gentle
men. you both have such open faces
there's no need of asking your names
or business Just indorse the check,
please"
This being quickly done the amount
was counted out and the forgers de-
parted in high glee
Amt he easy?" piped one on the
way out.
IT was a shame to take his money
roloined his pal. our first game was
cineh!"
But a moment later both noyiccs
hurried back TO the cashier.
Say blurted out the first forger,
this is stage money!"

her of reductions have already been
announced in the iron and steel trade
although there is a suspicion that
these announcements are made at
this time with a view of influencing
tariff legislation. The depression in
the steel trade is illustrated by the
annual report of the Steel corpora
tion. whose sales in 1908 were SdS2-
000.G00 or a loss Of nearly S275.b01-
600 in twelve months. During the
same period net earnings amounted
u less than $50 100000, a decrease of
500 600. coo. The gross sales and the
net earnings were the smallest in any
year since 1904.

April settlements, which however,

paper there is good demand but
limited supply.
The outlook is for quiet mar.Jlt
with moderate fluctuations either

and recuperative forces are quiely

Disturbing Influences.
When the tariff question is settled
business will certainly become more
active. and orders which have been
held back for twelve months will be
placedplaced for execution. The low.
ering of prices and wages will also
in due season be a stimulus TO re.
aewod enterprise Much will depend
upon the crop outlook, and up to date
this is not SO uAfavOrable as at ona
time expected. Large crops will be
earnestly desired. The possibility Of
m outbreak between Austria AMI
Servia is one that keeps all European
markets in unsettled condition. Of
course, any disturbances in the for
eign bourscs will be reflected in New
York. Strong efforts are being mad
by the great powers TO prevent com.

this should prevent any serious ap-
prehensions.

New York, March 20.-Now that
the tariff bill has been actually in
troduced sense OF relief is felt in
the stock market The changes in
schedules, while more in the direc-
tiCn Of tariff reform than were ex-
pected, are in no sense radical or dis
turbing. The bill as announced can
only be regarded as a line of battle,
or a starting point for fresh discus,
sion and changes. All the forces for
and against revision are now drawn
up clearly divided, and from now on
the tariff struggle must continue
with increased warmth until a con-
clusion is reached. The opinion is
general that such changes as may
be made in the proposed bill will be

Tariff Uncertainty.
Stock market operations have been
much restricted by tariff uncertaiaty
also by the continued absence of
many prominent operators As tariff
discussion may be anticipated for an
other two or three months, there is
little reason for expecting encourage
ment in this direction. Generally
speaking, trade .ia exceedingly dull
largely owing to tariff agitation, but
partly owing to the fact that the pro

Vermont Fruit Growers.
Annual Meeting of Horticultural Society
at NeWport

Election OF officers, judging of the fruit
exhibits and three interesting addresses
brought to close at Newport, Thurs.
day, the most successful meeting ever
held by the Vermont Horticultural So
ciety. The following officers were
chosen President, g. q. Perry OF Chester
Depot; secretary, NJ. B. Cummings of
Burlington; treasurer, A. NJ. Vaughn of
Randolph; auditor, c. w. Richmond of
Newport; executive committee, the pres
ident, the secretary G. L. Wright of Mid.
dlebury, E. S. Brigham of St. Adams and
7, L. Kinney of South Hero.
Several new members were elected and
the reports showed the society to be in a
furnishing condition. 1t is expected
that a summer meeting will be held at
Grand Isle next year, while the meeting
place OF the next annual convention lies
between Bellows Falls and Brattleboro.
Over 500 in premiums was distri.
buted among the fruit exhibitors and for
the first time in the history of the society
premium was awarded for preserves.
Northern Spies predominated, the show
ing OF this variety being unusually large
N4N VI my appear tuCC. w. \. t1OlCOnD
OF Isle La Motto secured the highest
score with II premiums, G. H. Wright &
Sons OF Middlebury ranking next with
10.
The report of the secretary showed
that there are at present 100 members of
the society. One of the interesting
lectures was by George T. Powell, Of
Client, n. y, who in the afternoon spoke
on Some of the Requirements for Apple
Culture in Vermont" Mr.. Powell is one
OF the foremost apple growers in New
York State, owning about 10000 apple
trees on his estate. He stated that on
his way to Newport by way of the Bos.
ton q Maine railroad he noticed no new
orchards, and said that this was a
serious condition of affairs. for new
orchards must be set out constantly in
order to get the best results in the apple
business. Old trees cannot be depended
upon to grow the best apples.
he told the members, when about
TO set out new orchard, to pick out the
best land on the farm, and to pay par,
tlcular attention to the propagation of
the trees. Plant yearlngs, not the trees
sent out by the nursery houseS which
are about four or five years old. And
last, but not least, Mr.. Powell warned
the members against trying to raise
large apples, as these are discounted in
the markets, where Western apples are
much larger than those of the East
of poorer flavor.

A Record of Executions and Life Sentences
at Windsor.

Vermont has not such long list of
prisoners who have been convicted of
murder as would be supposed when one
stops to consider that it was as far back
as 1889 that the first record appears.
Henry Damon was the first murderer
who was convicted of that crime in Yer
mont. He was sentenced to be hanged,
but the sentence was committed to life
Imprisonment, and he died August 81,
1876.
Eugene Clifford was convicted April
u, 1913, for murder and sentenced to
die by hanging, but life imprisonment
changed his fate and he died on March
Is, 1S47.
Samuel Lathe was convicted July 7,
1852. and sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment, but pardon came to his re-
lief on November "a, 1852, and he was
liberated.

Would Help The Farmers.

operation by the Railroads.

AT the first annual banquet of the Rail.
way Business Association held at the
Waldorf Astoria in New York last Thurs.
day, William c. Brown, president OF
the New York Central lines said his idea
of the way for the railroads to make
friends with the people was by establish
ing agricultural schools to hel p the farm
err He said:
i have desire to suggest briefly two
plans having a common purpose and
perhaps equal in Importance.
"First-The broadening and, in a way,
the specializing of our methods of educa-
ton in all our schools and colleges. |
would have a tirst-class manual training
school attached to every high school and
to every college and university. where
young men could be turned out good.
practical journeymen blacksmith, boiler
makers, carpenters, cabinetmakers,
plumbers or skilled workmen at some
other useful trade. would make our
agricultural colleges in fact what they
are IN name, to the end that graduates
OF these colleges should be frst-class
farmers thoroughly equipped and vitally
interested.
'Second-I would double our rural pop-
ulation by more than doubling the pro
duct per acre OF the nations farms.
The railroads should cooperate with
the State agricultural colleges. am GO
ing to recommend to the owners of the
roads with which l am connected the
purchase of farms, to be operated as
experimental farms. according to the
most advanced methods ofseed selection,
fertilization and cultivation, at the ex.
pense OF the road, but under the auspices
OF the agricultural colleges of the State in
which the farm is located. If this recon-
is adopted, shall hope to see
1t followed by a majority OF the roads OF
the country"
