The Solar PIexus,

The Scriptural expression "bowels of compassion" is justified by the discov- cries of modern science. Whenever anything affects our nerves we feel 1t more or less in our 'innards." It is the solar pleXus which is concerned in such emotionaliSm. Of course in itself it cannot feel. but it sends messages to the brain. which inter prets them as coming from there. The solar plexus is mass of nerves and nerve structures in the abdomen at the back of the stomach.-New York Trib- unp

John. He now became dazed with
fear and excitement. He left the homo
of his boyhood on foot and made his
way to Philadelphia, where he chanced
to meet his step-father who was q
member Of gang Of counterfeiters.
John was easily persuaded and he suf-
fered himself to be led along step by
step until he was deep in the mire.
Our Civil war had brought a great
change In the finances of the country.
Wild cat banks had gone out of e1-
istence and q new kind of money was
in use. There was great deal Of

cumulating wealth.

stalk abroad in CHASTITY white array,
that four detectives left their comfort

pectation of making an important
arrest. The man they sought was In
visible during the day time and diff
fioult man to encounter at night, He
had frequently been heard Of but had
seldom been seen by the government
detectives. When the officers reached
the appointed place they scattered
and took UP their positions where they
would attract as little attention as
possible. Their mysterious mission
had been fully explained; a deal was
expected to be pulled of. One Of the
detectives was rotund of person. He
had, through one Of the counterfeitins
gang, been introduced as beer deal
er who said he was willing to take his
chances with bogus stamps, and he
had bargained with one of the coun'

receive them at q certain hour at q

One day drover came along the
pike with long string Of oxen and
stopped at the Black Bear Inn, and
engaged pasture for his cattle over
night. The drover was new in that
part Of the country, and for safety he
handed his pocket book, containing
several hundred dollars, to John Hartz
for safe keeping, in the presence Of
Weisgarber. Shortly afterwards when
the drover was out attending to his
cattle, weisgarber suggested the idea
to John of changing the good money
In the pocket book for an equal
amount Of counterfeit that he had on
hand. John was easily persuaded. He
thought his step-father knew best. In
the morning the drover received his
pocket book and proceeded to count
It's contents. He at once saw that
the bills were of different kind than
those he had been carrying. He
pulled a counterfeit detector from his
pocket and examined them. Having
satisfied himself that they were bad,
he charged John with having substi-
tuted them. The accused mans face
turned red and he began to stammer,
but his step-father who was standing
by, came at once to the front and COM
menced to talk in German to John.
Turning to the drover he protested In
badly broken English that the young
man was honest and hadn't even
opened the pocket book. Between the
two the drover got tongue lashing
for his accusation that so completely
upset him that he was none too sure
that he ever had any money. He was
now in a bad fix; long ways from

homo with pocket book full of coun-
terfeit money as his only wherewith
to pay his expenses.
After everything had cooled down,
Mr.. Weisgarber, in burst Of gener-
osity, was good enough to loan the
drover one or two hundred dollars to
pay his way until he could reach
Strasburgh, a little town at the foot
of the Three Brother mountains. The
drover was silenced but not altogether
convinced His money was all right
the day before, but he wasn't quite
sure 1t was Of the right stamp when
he handed 1t over to the young man
for safe keeping, Here was an exem-
plification Of the little difference be-
tween the truth and lie well stuck
to. Time rolled on and John Hartz'
career in crime became more and
more firmly fixed.
One day the sheriff came with Q
warrant for the Flying Dutchman,"
which meant Herman Weisgarber.
"Gott en- Himmell! Vot ish dish p
he exclaimed.
A long explanation ensued and the
sheriff was greatly puzzled regarding
his duty. He was convinced that
the accused man was innocent, and
he thought 1t might be safe thing to
leave him at his home and go back to
the county seat and report before ma
king the arrest, When he reached
there he was told to return at once
and bring his man. When he got back
to the Black Bear Inn Mr.. WeisgarbeI
was out. He had saddled up and
rode away and might not return fol
several days, perhaps never. But the
good-natured sheriff didn't see 1t thai
way. He would come back again, OF
he might present himself voluntarily
at the sheriff's office.

Mr.. Underwood never held an office
or was a candidate for such a position
until 1894. Then he ran for congress,
the entire issue being the tariff, and
he had bitter fight. Speaker Crisp
came into the district to help him and

won by 1000. Since that time he has
never had an opponent for the nomi-

IMPRISONED FOR SMUGGLING

To defraud the government of the
United States Of It's customs coming
here from the old world has been the
darling wish of many women ever
since Americans have been able to in,
dulge in the luxury Of an ocean voy-l
age. Miss Multimillionaire, secure in
her social position, did not like to be-
held up on the dock and made to pay
large sums for being caught trying tol
swindle the government. But when!
she is caught finally she chafes under
her treatment, but society stands by
her and that encourages others to fol-
low her example.
To remove this prop from the FASH
Ionable woman the authorities have
decided to Jail those caught in de-
frauding Uncle Sam Of his dues. This
penalty. 1t is thought, will prevent rep
utable women from engaging in the
business.
