snow was more Koenly appreciated Cndn
at the present time. Perhaps Edger-
ton was not the home of us all in 1881,
but that matters not, for in that year
the heavens seemed to open wide the
gates and sift the f1aky whiteness over
all the land and strong winds piled it
in drifts mountain high in city street
and country road and we older boys
who then were younger boys remember
we'll with what eagerness and deter
mination we tackled those drifts to
make pathways and driveways from
house to house, through city street and
country road. That was years ago, and
not again until 1910 has the time been
opportune for shoveling snow to the
hearts desire. But by sticking fast to
life and patiently waiting we older boys
are again permitted to view the white
banks with mountain shapes and watch
the younger boys as they shovel and
shovel again as the drifts grow higher
and higher with each succeeding storm.
What pleasure it is, boys, for you to
! shovel and for us to watch the great
blocks as you raise them high above
your heads and place them on the banks
above, knowing that the storm of an
other day will fill your trench and you
can repeat the play. It's sweet re
hinder of the time when we older boys
were younger boys than we are today.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone. Sept ga forgery has just
come to light. the principal working
in Boone, Cincinnati and Kentucky.
The Boone bank Is not out any money.
but somebody who IS not entitled to the
same Is Just $3.50 ahead Of the game
About two weeks ago a nice appear
ing man called at the First National
Bank in this city and presented
draft for $3.50 and asked the First Ma
tional people to collect it, the draft
being drawn on Kentucky bank The
local people Immediately took the draft
and sent it on to Kentucky. The man
said he was going to Chicago for a
few days and would return in about
FIVE days to the bank and secure the
money, which he was going to use in
the purchase Of horses. He made the
trip to Chicago and in the meantime
the Kentcky bank did it's duty and the
money was sent to Mr.. Moore, of the
Cincinnati institution. Mr.. Stranger
called, was given the $3.50 and left the
city.
Telegram Came Too Late.
The day following a telegram came
to Mr.. Moore stating that under no
circumstances must he pay the money
over, as the draft was forgery The
money had. OF course, been paid. but
no blame for the loss could be placed
on the local institution. In a few
days Mr.. Moore was reimbursed by the
Cincinnati institution. which is now
out the money.
Pinkertons on Track.
Another telegram was sent to Mr..
Moore, by the Cincinnati banking
house asking that the matter be turned
over to the authorities and instructed
Mr.. Moore to refer the ent re case to
the Pinkerton detective agency. This
was done and they now have some Of
their best men on the case. They have
been in this vicinity and will also take
a whirl in Cincinnati and Kentucky be-
fore giving up the chase.
The local bank people are withhold
ing the name of the Kentucky institu-
ton and the name and description OF
the man who had the draft cashed. for
fear of hinderng the work Of the
Pinkertons. AS soon as anything de-
velops in the case all OF the informa-
ton will be divulged. The detectives
are working hard on the case and are
sure Of landing their man. When the
stranger appeared at the bank window
and presented the draft everything APP
peared o. K and the Kentucky bank
seemed to think the same, for the cash
was sent by return mail.
