ARREST STUDENT FOR
FORGING DRAFTS

STAUsNTON, VA, March 31.@Cadet c.
y. Maggie. OF Texas, a student at Staun-
ton Military Academy, was arrested
here on the charge of forging
two drafts OF $125 each and getting
money by use of signature of Captain
w. G. Kable, commandant OF academy.
one OF the drafts came back with no.
tice that there was no such place or
bank in Texas. The other has not yet
been heard from. They are on diff
ferent banks. He cashed in the sum
OF $3.50 at the Augusta National Bank
here.
The only evidence against Maggie
seems TO be that the bank teller iden-
tilted him as one to whom he paid
money. Maggie is only eighteen years
old, and said to be OF wealthy family.
Big fight in court expected. but matter
may yet be cleared up.

An Ancient Steak.


1t is reported that at a banquet re-
Gently given in Russia, a steak a
quarter of a million years old was
served to the guests Not only that
but it was pronounced to be juicy
and sweet and palatable, and the
guests. like Dickens boy, cried for
more.
The steak was from a mammoth.
a sort of prehistoric elephant, which
used to tramp down the grass OF Mr.
Stoneage's front yard a few hundred
thousand years ago. II was found
frozen in a glazier in such perfect
state of preservation that the scien-
lists decided to furnish it's flesh to a
banquet. They calculated that IL had
been in the glazier for fully 25O,OUV
years-a period so great as to male

We do not know at this late day
just what Nature had in mind when
she preserved the mammoth in her
cold storage plant, but Nature usual

sonably certain, however, that she was

Motive OF the Tragedy.
The tragedy occurred in the Nat

Gray girl had deposited money in the
Park Savings Bank. at Fourteenth

when the shots were heard, and this
was increased when il became known
that negro had murdered negro
girl and then had killed himself.
The death OF the negro was almost
instantaneous, but the girl lived few
minutes after her slayer expired She
died in an ambulance. Policemen of

William H. Schell. of 1891 Irving

No definite motive is known for

Rate Curiosities.

Originally the railway rates to the
Pacific coast from Eastern cities not
on the Atlantic Ocean were more than
from New York city and other At
lantic ports. But the steamship lines
began absorbing the railway rates
from cities such as Pittsburg and Buff
falo, to the Atlantic, thus making the
rate by rail-and-water from these
places the same as by water from
New York. The railway met this COM
petition by also making their rates
from places 400 or 500 miles west of
the Atlantic Ocean the same as from
the Atlantic seaboard. The manufac-
turers and merchants at cities in the
Middle West demanded the same rates
