BANK CLEARINCS SHOW
A HEALTHY increase
YESTERDAYS TOTAL REACHED
S115,272, OR THE LARGEST
SINCE SEPT. 16.

The steady increase in Tulsa s
bank clearings since the first of last
August continues unabated, and from
all indications, the present month
should exceed all former periods in
this respect. Manager Houston, of
the Tulsa Clearing House association
announced last night that yester-
days cjearings amounted to the
amazing total of $145,272, which is
the biggest Mondays business with
the clearing house since September
6, last. Each days clearings this
month has shown a handsome in
crease over the previous day, and
from the receipts up to the present
time 1t is fair to presume that the
November clearings will exceed those
of October, which amounted to the
grand total of $2,441,21S, or an in
crease Of 100000 over the previous
month.
The clearings for last week total
led $619,022, while the previous
weeks figures were $463,O46.
No surer indication of a towns
progress or stability is furnished than
by the post office and clearing house
receipts, and both of these sources
in Tulsa are furnishing ample sup
plies of "boostering' for the world
at large.
The comparative clearing house
receipts for the past three months
follow:
August-S2, ,300,4S6.
September-$2,S4 S46,354
October-$2, ,441,213.

COUNTY Is ENRICHED BY ABOUT
$4,000.
First Days Sale of Delinquent Ia,
Property Held-Continues Daily
Until All Is Disposed OF.

The county treasury was enriched
by about $4,000 yesterday as the re-
suit of the first days sale of property
on which taxes have been allowed to
become delinquent. The sale opened
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning under
very auspicious circumstances. In all
only about thirty lots were sold, all
located in Tulsa county. All but one
were bought by individual buyers, the
one case having been that in which
the highest bidder did not reach the
amount of delinquent taxes, and this
lot was bought in by the county.
Owing to the rush of work iif The
county treasurer's office the sale
lasted about half an hour. 1t will be
continued every day at 9 O'Clock until
the entire lot of delinquent property
has been offered for sale.

PRETTY POLLY PAPERS

Girls, girls, girls! wonder how
aren't they, every one, almost alike p
not alike as two peas, for that would
be dreadful, but liking the same good
things of life, the pretty, dainty
fancies, the delicious goodies, the sol
emn moments sandwiched in between
the jolly times, the capacity for look
ing out on the big, great world as yet
unknown-yes, girls, we are all alike;
yet sometimes girl is cleverer than
others and has good idea and passes
1t along. AS it happens, know ever
SO many girls, and we have had such
nice, comfortable chats, and I couldn't
begin to tell you the things they tell
me about. Couldn't begin to tell
you," say? Oh, but that Is just what
want to do. In these papers Of ours
I want to pour in all the ingredients
can think of to make "Girldom Hap
piness," and we'll put it In a big jar
Of Life and leave the cover open once
a week-just exactly like one of the
potpourri jars in our grandmother's
old-fashioned houses. Girldom happi-
ness"-doesn't that sound spicy and
sweet and like a Whit of old-time
gardens!
Potpourri jars make me think of
roses, and surely that thought is ap-
propriate in June.
Sachets-to be sure, bless your
heart. Go out early in the morning
and gather the rose petals from the
garden and spread them out on papers
in some spot In the house where the
wind won't steal your treasure. To
make them even more fragrant
sprinkle them over with few
drops of alcohol and some rose
sachet powder and let them dry
again. Spread the dried rose leaves
between layers of pretty rose-col-
ored lawn, or some Powered ma
terial, running few rose-colored
silk threads across in quilting style to
divide the petals. Lay these in your
bureau drawers-and how ''whiffy" of
the garden your possessions will be,
when winter comes without any
posies! Another idea is to make fat
little bags Of rose petals and hang
them by ribbons In your closet with
your dresses. Still another fancy is
to make some spiced rose leaf bags
In simple cheese cloth. Put them away
In tin box, and when horrid head
ache happens along sprinkle one with
alcohol and use 1t for a wee comfort
bag on the acheing spot.

Some of you would have thought you
were abused If you owned such
room, really a little attic chamber
with a dormer window. This dear girl
put on her thinking cap. She painted
the walls white-by the way, did you
know that the most ultra, smart,
smarty, smartest people nowadays are
having white walls in their beautiful
houses Then she took all the rose
pictures she could find, some from
prints she bought, and she cut out
the roses and their leaves and put
them on her wall, anywhere they
looked best, within foot and half
Of the low ceiling. Then with a little
brush she outlined each rose with
thin green line. After all was dry
thin coat of varnish went over the
roses, and below them all ran a white
picture molding. There was an ugly
wooden bed in storage to be had for
the asking. This she painted white
and she used a bed spread of the soft
est gray-green silkolene caught here
and there with rose sachets. You can
make them; anyone can. Just wee
sachet bag hid in the heart Of a silk
or cloth rose. Now wasn't that a
pretty idea to use them to "tuft"
with?
Make some individual strawberry

1t aden," as one sweet baby used to
know always clamored If she liked
anything over much. Make some
fiaky tea biscuit, split and butter them
while hot, have some crushed and
sweetened berries to put between the
layers, and on top put a spoonful Of
whipped cream and one whole perfect
berry. Such little, little goodnesses!
One more dainty to have at your next
piazza party: Big macaroons, hol-
lowed out a wee bit, and whipped
cream piled high and rose" stuck
in the top of each. Make this rose
with about six candied rose leaves,
and for the center round gold candy.
Good enough for caterer? Surely,
but clever girl can do anything!
There are still lots of roses, but

Needless to say, this telegram was
forgery, but Messenger Bingham
accepted it as genuine order. He
obeyed the instructions it contained
literally. He first wired to his broth
er, acknowledging receipt of the tele-
gram, but Superintendent Bingham,
for reasons that will be explained
later on, never received this message.
The bogus official appeared at the
time and place stated and received
the keys to the safe containing the
diamonds, jewelry and money. What
happened after that, Of course, was
unknown to the real messenger. He
could throw no further light on the
subject, and for many days after that
nothing new was learned. The most
rigid investigation failed to produce
even the slightest clue to the robber
or robbers.

On reaching Pittsburg, he examined
all of the evidence in hand and inter-
viewed all of those who were sup

mysterious disappearance of the con-

Mr. Furlong determined to take up
the scent at Templeton, Penn. He

now most of the shops were closed
and all of the blast furnaces were
shut down. Hence the place pre-
serited the appearance OF a deserted

were the only passengers that ahgnt-
