shore.
Mikal was 80 badly exhausted when
brought ashore that he was unable ia
thank his little rescuer, and SWartz,
evading the congratulations OF hys-
tertcal men and women, hurried to his
home, where he changed his clothing
and resumed his occupation as II moth
ing out Of the ordinary had occurred.
Young sWartz was not one-haH the
size OF the man he rescued, and his
work Is considered the more remark
able because of the fact that he wore
heavy shoes and was fully clothed.
From the time he reached Mika1's
side until he regained the beach, tbs
boy conducted himself with the nerve

There is a movement on foot to have
him recommended for a Carnegie med

an hour before the lifeguards came OF
duty.

DETECTIVE ADAMS, STORY.


There never was a Job, said Detec-
tive Adams, worked in this country,
which could match the great gold coin
swindle so successfully carried out
upon the expert dealers IN money IN
Wall street. No class Of people are
easier to beat than Wall street men,
provided they are met upon their own
stamping ground by fearless men who
deal with them upon an apparently
solid platform.
AS I recall 1t, the bogus coin dis
posed Of was worth, face value, about
100000, and the thieves were kind
enough to go in and get the premium
upon this sum. The firm which han
died the gold in this citySWas Wells &
CO., and they were above suspicion.
The coin was sent to them from Frink
& Beaman, an honorable London firm
OF bankers, and every connection
from start to finish had all the marks
Of genuine transaction. There was
nothing to arouse suspicion except the
gold itself, and that was not critically
examined at the time, because It had
been shipped In a perfectly regular
manner. Inquiry would probably not
have been made into the transaction
for long time If it had not been for
the disappearance Of Nathaniel
Storms, who had completed the tran
saction with Wells & Co, and collect
o5 Tho ronn ayr for. III -
Storms came to this country with
the gold and had letters Of introduc-
ton equal to the best certificate OF
character. He represented that he
was the agent OF a syndicate OF for
eign capitalists who had quietly
gathering up all the gold they could
get hold of In Europe at their own fig
ures, and had got together several mil
lions Of dollars which theyrsintended
to put upon the American market to
get the benefit OF the large premium
When Storms collected the money
for the gold, he made an appointment
to meet Wells & Co. the next day
upon a matter Of importance, and ne
did not show up. He was stopping at
the old Astor House, and q letter was
sent there by a messenger, WHO
brought back a reply that Storms hau
given up his room there lii the morn

Office. His baggage consisted only OF

HUNDREDS WATCH A

ager to the Rescue.

Chicago.-A battle between an en-
aged lion and an unarmed man was
waged the other day In the arena Of
Chicago amusement park while hun
dreds of people looked on unable to
help, finally being stopped when the
lion was beaten off the mans body
after it had felled him.
The victim Of dhe lions attack was
John Hoffman, ffty-fve years old, a
trainer for Wild WestshoW. At the
Alexian Brothers hospital it was said
he would die.
S. N. Holman, manager Of the show,
entered the cage and battered the
lions skull with an iron bar until 1t de-
sisted It's attack.
Hoffman was knocked down by the
beast and his right shoulder, right
side, right leg and arms were torn
open by the sharp claws and teeth OF
the beast.
Two women tainted during the en-.
counter, while several little children.

Fingers sewed On.

Chanute, Kan.-Fingers that had been
completely severed from her hand by
the blade of an ak are growing again
on the right hand Of the six-year-old
granddaughter OF John Benson or this
city. The little girl was holding a
block OF wood while a playmate cut
It with a hand ak.
When the surgeon arrived to dress
the wound he asked where the fingers
were. They had been cut clean off
and left lying In the barn where the
girls were playing A lantern was
lighted and the dismembered parts
were found In the hay.
The fingers were sterilfzed and
seWed on.

not suit hin. The money that was
made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts, but Billy was in the game to
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as an en-
graver and tool maker.
But the fishing was good, and We
could afford to live on the fat Of the
land; SO the Whims of Billy did not
bother us much.
If Billy was crank in his way, he
was an angel compared with Frenchy
Kline, who was the most mysterious
man ever met, and I have seen a lot
Of curious specimens. Frenchy was a
dangerous fellow to go with, for his
manners were SO strange that he was
sure to attract attention and arouse
suspicion. I have known him to go
for weeks and never speak a word.
He was an expert chemist, and could
have made fortune Ii the business
by going on the level, but he preferred
to be crook. There were two things
he could do better than any man in
the world. He could make genuine
paper, for use as money, and COM
position Of metals which resembled
silver and gold SO closely that it would
require an analysis In the assay office
to prove they were spurious. While
Billy was making dies, Kline was mix
ing up pots of metal and turning out
bars Of yellow gold.
Billy finally finished his dies, and
then had the parts Of a stamping ma
chine built In different foundries and
machine shops. We brought the sec
tons to Ravenswood on our truck,
and they were put together in a barn
On the place. We got an engine and
boiler to run the stamping machine,
and were ready for business. But
very few people ever passed the old
house, and we were just as safe in our
work as If we were in wilderness.
1t requires a heavy pressure to
stamp coin, and our machinery was
not quite as weighty as the machine
in the mint, but our $40 and $40 coins
were just as good as any that ever
left the mint, with the exception that
the impression made on the front and
back Of the coins was not quite as
heavy as the sgenuine. After the
stamping the money was put into a
milling machine, to corrugate the
edges, and an oiled roller, to give the
coin the appearance of age
The coin, as fast as it was made,
was put into kegs, and when we got
enough the kegs were shipped to Eng
land, and after satisfactory arrange
ments had been made upon the other
side, were reshipped to this country
through a regular broker Gold was
at that time selling at premium of
from 1870 to $40, and the kegs Of gold
were consigned to Wells & Co., reput-
able brokers in this city, 10 the credit
of Nathaniel Storms, the representa-
tive of a foreign syndicate. There
were any number Of bidders for the
gold when 1t was offered for sale, and
we got rid of the whole lot for about
$4,000. 1t was one Of the prettiest
deals ever run off in this country.

SECURING MOST FROM FARMS
sDiversiHoation Extends peratIons and
Materially Reduces Many Dangers
Of Failure.

One OF the benefits Of diversified
agriculture is that It extends farm
operations to include several crops so
that the danger OF failure may be re-
duced. This benefit alone is suff1-
cient to commend diversified farm
ing, although 1t Is by no means the
only benefit There are others that
are worthy of consideration.
No manager Is justified In diversi-
flying crops for the sake of q variety.
His reason for diversification must
have broader view and a more sub
stantial foundation than that there
be variety Of products for the sake
Of variety. There must be utility for
every crop grown The crops should
be profitable. No crop should be Sc
lected to occupy place In the rota-
ton unless 1t Is profitable, either for
soil improvement, feed for stock. for
home consumption or as q money
crop.
Before any crop Is decided upon In
the rotation scheme, the manager
should have sufficient evidence that
it can be successfully grown on his
farm. This Is no time for expert
ment Your experience and practical
observations should guide you in Sc
lecting crops for various purposes in
the rotation. You cannot afford to
have the scheme fall because the
crops you selected are not adapted to
your environments
Markets must be carefully consid-
cred when you are planning and car
rying out your rotation plan. Every
crop should have demand on your
farm or as commercial product in
the open market, It is highly desir-
able that you decide what disposition
win be made Of the products before
they are planted.
For instance, corn planted for the
silo may be planted late, but II plant
ed for grain for the animals 1t should
he planted early. Sorghum planted
for roughage Is managed different
from that planted for sirup. CoWpeas
planted for hay are not managed in
the same manner as when planted
exclusively for soil Improvement.
It is nearly always desirable TO ex.
tend the rotation plan to include the
necessary products that can be grown
for the family table and to maintain
the i've stock on the farm. There are
crops that make heavy demand upon
the soil, and while not ordinarily
profitable when sold on the market
arc profitable when used at home OF
fed to animals. These are some of the
problems that must be solved by the
manager who has entered upon a pro
gressive system OF rotation.
