Many efforts are made to cheat Un-

~ destroyed government currency.
Once a mao in q western state sent
in half of ten dollar bill. accompa-
MED by an affidavit to the effect that
while on a spree he had used the other
half to light cigar. The half be for
waried was nicely charred along the
inner edge. and the story would have
been accepted by treasury ofi1cials had
It not been that within twenty-four
hours there was received from bank
in the same state the other half Of the
note.
The theory OF treasury ofhcials was
that while more or less intoxicated the
man had struggled for possession Of
the bill with some one who had wrest-
ed half OF 1t from him; that the de-
spoiler had turned the half into the
bank and received Eve dollars for it:
that the intoxicated man. recovering
his senses. had found the other half In
his pocket and, not wishing to lose
his money, had conceived the plan Of
singeing the edge Of the note and
claiming that the other half had been
destroyed. So he committed perjury
in an attempt to rob the government
Of IS.
A man in Cleveland sent an an'davit
to the treasury department. accom-
panying the singed half OF two TWEEN
ty-dollar bills and one ten-doIlar bill.
This afIidavft was typewriter and In
perfect form. It set forth that the
deponent was 4 commercial traveller:
that after returning from-a journey DO
had been cleaning out his travelling
bag when Inadvertently he had thrown
into the fire an envelope containing
$50 In bills: that in accordance with
section 80 and 30 be would like to have
the money restored to him. etc.
The clerk who brought this docu-
ment to the officials commented on tts
lucidity and completeness. but to one
OF these the story seemed unnatural.
and he ordered that the claim be held
up for awhile.
Twenty-four hours later a big ship
! ment Of mutilated currency came from
subtreasury in the west. The Official
who had ordered the claim held up
asked whether there were any half
notes In this shipment. In four or
five minutes a clerk brought him the
missing halves Of tho bills the Cleve-
land man had sent In.
The attempt to defraud was plain.
The matter was at once put into the
hands Of the secret service division.
and q man was sent west to investi-
gate. The man who had made the am

the bills in halves and for one-half

TRAINING THE BOY

Has any mother suggested that after
a boy reaches 10 years of age he should
be thrown as much as Is practically
possible with men? My own son is an
example His mothers training OF
child and infant was ideal. AS he grew
he came gradually under my influence,
with his mothers cooperation. In no
way an extraordinary boy, perfect in
health, beautifully formed physically
and normally bright and intelligent, OF
good standing at school, fond of books
and capable of climbing, running ana
playing on an. equality with other chill
dren of similar age, he offered good
material for training.
At 8 years of age I taught him to
swim, and now, not ~, he is quite cap
able Of taking care of himself in any
depth of water, and in any reasonable
current. At 10 he could handle canoe
nicely, and is learning to sail, though
not vet strong enough to manage
boat. 1 have trained him to the uses
and dangers of firearms, and in the
shooting field he's a better and far
safer pair gun than many men VINO
have shot with me, and he can be re-
lied upon for at least a bird or two,
with a light weight shotgun, which he
can use without exhaustion. He is one
OF several young boys who are made
quite as welcome as their fathers at
shooting parties, and has been taught
to care for his own kit and bag, to
sleep on the ground, build fire and

boil coffee. With rifle or small pistol
he can usually hit a 12-inch target at
fifty yards. The same conditions apply
to fishing, including care and carriage
of tackle, batting, hooking, landing and
cleaning Of fish. OF course the boy
cannot ride well, as his legs are too
short to get a knee grip-but he can
stay on horse at trot or canter.
He has played apprentice to some ex-
tent, and can handle common house.
hold tools well enough to make small
articles, toys and the like, treat metal,
to use wrench properly and to pre-
pare joints or seams for soldering,
though have not yet felt justified in
allowing him to handle hot or molten
metal. He is very useful for supplying
tools or material in the ordinary re-
pairs of the road or the boat.
At such sports as tennis, golf, base
ball, he is learning to handle his tools,
and not to be afraid of them or his op-
ponents, though l am paying more at
tention to form than to results, as
child cannot play such games well in
any case. Moreover, and of vastly
more consequence, the boy is not only
learning these things, but in learning
them Is learning also that when thing
is begun it must be finished, that he
must take care of himself, his equip
ment and his companions to the extent
that he should not endanger others at
any time, unnecessarily, and aid others
in emergency, and that he must play
the game until 1t is finished without
complaint or boast.-Harpers Bazaar.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MOTHERS

Never send a child to bed crying or
unhappy. Is the day not full enough
of troubles? Some days are, and
story at bedtime or song and a hap
py talk between mothers and little
ones grasses from the minds of children
all the worries of the day. If we can
not do all we wish for our children we
can at least send them to bed with
happy hearts. l think each child is
brought into the world with some good
and some bad about 1t, and even as 1t
is cultivated it hourishes as do the
flowers and weeds. If we nourish the
good it flourishes more than the bad
and If children are continually scolded
and punished the bad becomes better
developed than the good. Teach chill
dren to help and let them know they
are helping and they will take pride
in the home. For instance, my own
little 4-year-old son spilled his mug of.
milk at the table number of times
and was duly reprimanded, which,
however, did not have the desired eff
feet. Then 1 took him on my knee
and told him what a help it would be
to me if he would learn to be neater
and not soil so many tablecloths by
being careless. 1t made him feel a
new responsibility and he has tried so
hard and done so much better with a
better will than when I scolded him.
My little boy was always afraid OF
cats and dogs and would scream il
any came near him and could hard
ly get him out of doors on that &C.
count. This was when he was years
old, too young to reason with, so l
taught him to feed them. At first he
would only stand in the door and throw
bits at them, but gradually got closer
and every time he went out 1 gave
him something to feed them with, and
now he is on the best of terms with
every cat and dog in the neighbor-
hood and not in the least afraid of
them.-Exchange.

when the opportunity offers, preying on

neighborhood nuisance. The transition
from a sleek, we'll nourished tabby to a
dirty, half-starved, disreputable vag-
rant is sometimes startling. 1t may be

HOME KINDERGARTEN METHODS

We all agree that children should be
happy, busy and orderly; but how to
make and keep them so is a question
which many mothers find hard to
solve. Pin your faith to the kinder
garten and you will not be disap-
pointed in the results of the system.
Mothers with the care of the household
upon them cannot give their children
the time and attention in this line that
they would receive in the kindergarten
school, but they can give them sugges-
tive answers to their questions. What
can 1 do now?" A few minutes spent
in showing the children how to do
something along the right lines will
be considered well spent when mamma
sees the little ones happy and busy for
hours.

FASHION NOTE


popular this summer, but though the
fashionable woman has taken up the
collarless models with enthusiasm,
there are always women who refuse
slavishly to adopt unbecoming modes,
and in New York there are plenty of
fashionable women who sadly but
firmly pass by the collarless models
or have them modified by the addition
of thin guimpes rather than display
an unbeautiful throat in the pitiless
light of day.
A walk on any bright afternoon will
make a casual observer wish that more
women were blessed with knowledge of
their limitations. When the collarless
frock or blouse is becoming 1t is charm
ing, but few women past their teens
wear it we'll In connection with severe
street costume. The effect from front
view may be attractive, but where, as
is so often the case, there is nothing
to soften the hard line of tailored
collar against the bare throat around
sides and back, the ordinary tailored
coat worn with collarless blouse Is
lamentably unbecoming thing from
every point of view except the front.
The hard collar line should be softened
by a lingerie frill or embroidered lin
gerie collar falling over the tailored
collar and coming next to the throat.
There are numbers of such collars In
all grades of fineness and usually ac-
companied by cuffs to match.
Sometimes, where the collarless ef-
feet is not desired, instead of introduce
ing guimpe the yelling chitfon or
mousseline is run on up to form a
perfectly plain yoke and collar, semi
transparent, of course, and perhaps re-
lieved by q line of white or cream at
the collar top.
The demand for white waists is about
equally divided between lingerie and
tailored styles. Colored waists, or white
waists embroidered in color or trimmed
with colored bands. are the latest nov
elites.
Handsome white waists are made of
marquisettes and voiles, trimmed with
Irish and Cluny laces and hand en-
broideries. Leading models have low
necks and elbow sleeves; many are
made with three-quarter and full
length sleeves.
Cotton crepes, real and imitation. are
receiving favorable attention.
Lingerie styles include low-necked
and short-sleeved models made of lawn
or crossbarred muslin, finished with
wide pleated, lace edged sleeve and col
lar frills.
Tailored styles continue to make use
of linen, lawn and bastiste materials.
The models most in demand are the
side-frilled types, with pleated, tucked
or plain blouses. Long sleeves are the
rule. with stiff buttoned cuffs or lace
edged sleeves buttoned in lingerie
fashion.
Smart shirt waists can be made OF
narrow embroidery flouncing and all
overs comb'n with plain batiste. For
the rest of the costume prominent
method of using an allover is either
as the upper or lower section OF
straight slightly full skirt, the balance
being of plain batiste. The joining may
be at the knee or at the hipline.
With a skirt of this kind the bod.ce
reneats the two-section idea. The plan

TO TEST LINEN OR SILK

Wet spot; if the moisture goes
through you may be sure that your
linen or silk is pure.
Try to tear the fabric both ways
with and across the weave; with the
exception of very sheer material the
cloth should be firm enough to resist
this treatment without looking pulled
or out of shape.
If the threads separate easily when
the fabric is rubbed between the fin
gers and scratched lightly the weave
is very poor and you will get but little
satisfaction in wearing 1t.

Biddeford Record, lis the rum aues-

In other words Democratic argu-
ments are becoming narrowed down TO

Which brings up chat we had
last night with a Boston young man.
Last February" said this young
man, the City of Boston arrested Tor
drunkenness 5000 men and few thou
and women. 1t costs money to make
arrests and the license payments bos-
ton receives from dealers does not pay
the cost of arresting and keeping the

This young man had had some ex-
perience with the manner in when

sulting, going from wet TO a dry
town." said he.
He believed that state prohibition
was the better policy, as under local
option the DRINKS We're more OF a
nuisance.
Democratic papers and citizens here
in Maine regardless of party are often
heard holding up Boston as "a Incense
town where you never see anybody
drunk.
An Augusta man, referring to Bos-
toms "sobriety," remarked: Il have
gone on Boston Common and found the
seats filled with DRINKS SOLDERING off
and lust able to escape arrest. Ana
on my last trip nearly every Boston
business man ! had dealings with was
more or less under the influence of
whiskey. wine or beer" In this state
during business hours you rarely find
a business man drinking.
Prohibition will not stop men from
getting drunk Neither does license OF
any sort improve conditions of life.
Prohibition reduces the saloon evil to
nearly nothing and gives complete
mastery of the rum shop nuisance
and liquor peril to the authorities.
A good many thousand Maine men,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans,
will take an occasional social drink
themselves yet vote to the last Tor
prohibition as the policy of the State.
They know that the State has rum in
it's least dangerous position They pro-
pose to keep it there.
The Record is right however; De-
mocracy's best issue, because its only
one left, is rum. In the towns and
cities they can win on this issue sew
eral hundred votes. These votes Re-
publicans are perfectly willing for
Democrats to win.

Editorial Comment.
Being Comfortable in Church.
New Bedford Standardo

A Chicago clergyman is said to make
a bid for fame by inviting the men
in his audience to take off their coats
during the Sunday service. He should
rather call it bid for netoriety. Ii
the sexton has done his work properly
and has seen to it that the church has
been thoroughly ventilated during the
week, and if the members of the con-
gregation will refrain from thinking
how uncomfortable they should feel,
there is no reason why the men should
take Off their coats while the service
is going on. Of course there is dis
comfort in any extreme of tempera-
ture, but when people insist on accen-
tuating that discomfort by dwelling
upon it, and talking about it, and
adopting all sorts of bizarre methods
to get rid of it, they make the dis
comfort ten times worse. He who eats
and drinks temperately, who dresses
properly, who refrains from hurry,
who sets his self-controlling appara-
tus at work. can go to church any
warm Sunday morning and be reason
ably comfortable-only he must think
about the service and not at all about
himself and the weather.

Losses Due}o Smoke.

Dorchester Democrat and ChrOnlcle.)
The losses due to soft coal
smoke cost the city of Cleveland &c.
0O0.O0o year-$12 per capita, or more
than $40 family. These are the fig
ures presented by committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, which has been
for some time investigating the sub
ject. The items which make up this
total include the increased mortality
due to breathing impure atmosphere,
losses to plant life. the greatly in
creased cost of cleaning and house
keeping and the heavy direct loss to
the consumers due to the imperfect
combustion of coal Experiments con-
Quoted under the direction of the Gov
eminent prove that when. a heavy
black cloud of smoke pours from
factory chimney it is a sign of waste
as much so as though from 5 to 10
per cent. of the coal purchased was
thrown on the ash pile. A saving of
$4,000 year has been effected at the
heating plant of the University of IL
linois by the use of smoke consumers
and the employment Of men trained in
boiler-room efficiency. The manufac-
turer who violates the anti-smoke
ordinance does more than pollute the
atmosphere and endanger health--he is
throwing away coal.
