 GRANGE MEMBERS
 GOOD WORKERS
 Nine of the prominent members of the Greenfield Hill Grange started work yesterday morning on the grounds making repairs for the win ter. At '9:30 o'clock the crew of work CTS started put from the center of the village with picks, shovels, and other tools. The ~edng was composed of John F. Warehouse, Andrew B. Wake man, both of which are former se- Banks, Grand Master of the Grange; B. w. s. Pickett, a former postmas- ter of the town; c. A. Wyrtzen, the village grocer; Frank Brown, Howard Wakeman, and Everett Van Ness. The main work was done on the horse sheds on the premises. These were all repaired. After this was done about 400 feet of the roadway in front of the Marcus Wheeler place was in fine condition. The volunteers proved themselves good workers and when their labor was finished mo- ton was made to strike for a job with the, town to repair all the roads. The price they would want from the town for their work was not mentioned. An elaborate dinner was served in the hall by Mrs. Henry Banks and Mrs. IVil- liam Ferris. s
 Gater)-The first. of the noble gang of workers to be heard of after the whistle blew last evening was c. A. Wrytzen, one of the helpers, who sent to the Boyle drug store for bottle of liniment. Did Boyle have a req son for getting them to work?

year or more after the occurrence Of
the incident just related, when the
same detective while rambling about
the city chanced to meet we'll
dressed woman who bore a marked
resemblance to the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him a side
glance as he passed. He kept along
at considerable distance and turned
just in time to catch sight of her as
she stepped into tJohnson's millinery
establishment. Taking up position
at point diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself little In a
doorway, he was enabled to distin-
guish persons as they passed in and
out Of the shop. While he stood
watching, a bright looking boy came
along with a bundle of newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him up and bargained with him to
do little, piping for him. When
the suspected woman came out of the
millinery store she was pointed out
to the boy who was told to follow her
and, if possible, trace her to her
home. The boy was promised IS for
the job if his information proved to
be correct and he was to meet the
officer later and report. When the
boy came back to the officer he had
followed the woman to a little shop
on Ninth avenue He said she went
in and took off her bonnet as though
she belonged there.
The detective reported meeting the
woman who had SO nicely escaped
him and had located her in small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door a sign that read
Fine Millinery Work Done Here"
1t was quite reasonable to believe
that the woman was none other than
the naughty little milliner from New
Orleans and that she was then doing
business In New York. Officer F1tz-
patrick of New Orleans was the only
detective on the force that could pos.
itively identify her, but it wouldn't
do to bring him for that purpose as
she would be sure to see him first,
and having been put upon her guard
she might fly away.
The idea was to plan ruse for the
purpose of capturing her with evil
dence to convict. For this purpose
St. Tammany farmer., 1911-01-28

it was necessary to bring new man
into the field, and I chose an elderly
gentleman who was then employed.
He was a countryman born, and did
not have to act the part, as it was
perfectly natural to him. He ap-
peared simple in his ways, but was in
reality remarkably shrewd. The little
milliner might have been surprised
one morning to receive visit from
a country dressed old gentleman, and
she blinked her large brown eyes as
he entered her little shop. But her
lips assumed business smile as she
said, "Be seated. sir"
The room was neatly furnished,
and there was a display of ready
made bonnets, flowers, etc. The door
of her little trimming room in the rear
stood open, and it was plainly seen
that the floor was Uttered with bits
of ribbon, clippings of velvet and
small remnants of silk and lace. The
old gentleman smiled pleasantly; the
woman gracefully sank into her chair.
She folded her hands in her lap and
inclined her head coquettishly to one
side and looked like polite inter-
rogation point. The old gentleman
explained that his daughter who lived
over in Jersey had asked him to pur-
chase a nice bonnet for her, and as
he passed along the sidewalk he had
read her sign and just stepped in. He
told her that the novelty of bonnet
making concern had always attracted
his attention and that he would like
to talk with her about her kind of
business.
"Of course l will tell you all about
it." she said good humoredly. II guess
you will get tired Of listening before
l get through"
She was a good talker and appeared
to be a woman Of refinement and edu-
cation as she prattled along. She
said she had once been rich but had
been unfortunate; her husband had
died from disease and a young and
only daughter had been killed in a
railroad accident AS she talked
elibly she was all the while exhibiting
her stock in trade.
Here" said she, "is lovely bonnet

only stave Off the trouble for a
short time.
The good hearted southerner's SYM
pathy was not confined to- words
alone. He went at once to her little
store and paid the $500 demanded by
the keeper and left her $100 besides
to relieve her immediate wants.
1t was only a few days following
this when Detective Fitzpatrick con-
cluded to enter the Widow Woods
place of business and make a thor
ough search. He had obtained some
new evidence in regard to her deal
ing with queer" money
When he entered the suspected
place he discovered that it was nearly
empty. Everything of value had been
removed. A number of cheap arti-
fetal flowers, bits of worn ribbon and
lace and empty bandboxes constituted
the stock. It was all appearance and
no value. The little room in the rear
of the place had been the Madam's
living quarters; it also was empty ex-
cept few tattered garments strewn
about.
What puzzled the detective most
was to account for the removal Of the
goods without attracting his attention
The movements of the woman had
been carefully watched and the de-
tective had recognized the Carrondo-
lette street broker as he visited the
widows store, and the exit shortly
after of a man very much resembling
the stranger who had met the Widow
Wood in the cemetery on the occasion
OF her arrest. 1t finally came to light

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago l noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating. and gradually became
worse, SO that I could not sleep at
night. consulted physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and could not put my hands
In water. / was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. I was
told that it was very bad case of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. l did so, and I
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep we'll, and did not have
any itching during the night. l began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
wash for them, and think by using
the Soap and Ointment I was much
benefited. / stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought if could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, thought 1t
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. / used the Oint!
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.

that the broker had been done out of
four hundred dollars by the widow
who had planned the keeper scheme
with a confederate.
After diligent search about the city
the detectives were unable to learn
the whereabouts of the widow, who
had skipped out for parts unknown.
Detective Fitzpatrick was fortunate
enough to secure photograph Of her,
and a number Of copies of it were
made and forwarded to the branches
of the secret service in the various
cities of the country.
She was first recognized in Cincin-
natl where she had offered a five-dol-
lar counterfeit bill. When arrested
and searched, no other bad money
was found upon her person, and she
was released for the want of sufficient
evidence.
A secret service officer carrying
the widows photograph was sure he
had met her while on his way from
Washington to New York. He was
not quite certain, but was sure enough
to attempt to follow her for the pur-
pose of learning her location. She
probably "tumbled" to the detective
while he was eyeing her intently. She
did not affect to notice him, but man
aged, however, to give him the slip.
Just before the train arrived at Jer-
sey City, the suspected woman got
up from her seat and stepped into the
ladies retiring room at the front end.
The detective was keeping his eagle
eye on this place when the passen-
gers In front of him arose to leave
the car. He worked his way as rap
idly as possible towards the front-exit,
and rushing to the ferry landing, he
took position where he could care
fully view the face of every woman
entering the ferry boat. Not seeing
the suspected woman he was the first
to spring ashore on the New York
side where he again scanned the faces
Of the women as they passed. He was
disappointed and ready to kick him
self when he realized how neatly ne
had been done for.
