half-hearted crook He came Of q
very good family in Georgia.
When the plates.fwere about done
went with Forbes and got three
presses, which he had sent to va
cant store In Harlem, and removed
them ourselves to the ranch in Flat
bush so no questions would be asked.
The only delay We met with was in
getting paper similar to that used by
the government tried to make con-
nection with several big firms in
Massachusetts, but they were all dead
leary about going into the scheme. al
though We offered them big money.
Forbes and l finally took trip to
England and found paper manu-
facturer who was willing to make the
paper. He knew what we were after
without being told and charged price
for his work that was highway rob-
berry. But We had to get the goods
at any price and gladly paid him his
figures. We got the paper through
the custom house under a false in
voice, with the aid Of an inspector
who was not above taking money for
favors, and after keeping 1t in a stor-
age warehouse for several weeks we
sent It to Flatbush. The paper was
as good as the genuine paper, and 1t
did not take US long to start the
presses. Stetson was q practical
printer, and fixed the colored inks for
the different plates. Then we all took
a turn at the presses, and a fellow
could not help having thrill of de-
light as the piles of beautiful bills
were stacked up in the cellar.
I'VE kept the presses moving until
We had about 100000 in money!
After all the bills had been rejected
that showed any defects, the good
ones were aged by a colored fluid. We
We're now ready for the real business
to begin. A careful comparison Of the
counterfeits with q magnifying glass
did not show the slightest difference
from, the genuine. So confident was
Forbes of the money that we sent one
Of the bills to a bank to have its gen.
uineness tested. It came back all
right
Instead Of trying to push the queer
IN small lots, as is commonly done
by showers. We divided the money
into five parts. and the members of
the gang took equal share and went
respectively to New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Chicago. and st. Louis
Then We put out the money in govern
-ment and railroad bonds Of the gilt
edged sort, and got rid of all the
money. We made the biggest life on
record, and sold the bonds In London
inside OF a month"

REAL KINGS OF HAPPINESS
No Joys Equal to Those That Boys
Have as They Play In the
Woods, Says Writer.

Says Bert Walker: The other day
I saw two boys. with short fishing
poles on their shoulders trudging
down through an alley toward the
river. / wonder II the kids have the
same kind Of time we used to. DC
they leave their clothes behind some
tree and go In swimming, and then
come back to find their shirt sleeves
tied In knots? Do they still keep
secret the place where they get the
most bifesf Do they hold up two
fingers when they want to ask anoth-
er kid to go In swimming? Is there
still one fellow who can dive further
than the restf
DO they go down fishing early In
the morning and 60 without eating all
day and get back just in time for sup
per with two or three little driedup
slinhsh? Is there one kid that always
has stone bruise on his heel and
another who can't keep from stub.

WHY HOSTILITY TO GARDENS
There Seems to Be an AntIpathy
Among Americans to Anything

There prevails among many of US
an actual hostility toward gardens. up

given to piazzas and Sleeping porch

selves so simple luxury.

enest made to me: that mosquitoes
prevent the enjoyment of a garden.
True as 1t Is in part, It is true only
for certain seasons End for certain
hours of the day. Mosquitoes never
yet kept any one who really wanted
a garden from having one.
Neither do I put much faith In the
aitruisin OF those who protest against

THE GREATEST GANG OF coUN-
TERFEITERS.

HE days Immediately fol-
lowing the Civil war were
the halcyon days of the
counterfeiter. The coun-
try was fairly flooded
with bogus bank and
treasury notes. No man, when he re-
ceived bill, could tell when he pre-
scented It at a bank whether It would
be accepted or not When the famous
Forbes gang began to put their out
put on the market the bank teller HIM
self could not tell whether he might
not have in his drawer another Of the
same serial number; for that was the
only means by which a Forbes coun-
terfeit could be detected.
II is not likely that another gang
similar to the Forbes crowd ever will
arise In the United States. The coun-
terfeiters Of today are photographers,
who bear the same relation to the
high-class maker Of steel plates that
the coin molder does to the old-time
crook who cut his own steel dies. The
silk threads, the secret process paper
and Che excellence and activity of the
United States secret service have also
served to render the finer forms OF
counterfeiting lost art. Therefore
1t is interesting to review the rise
and fall Of the greatest Of them all.

I knew Ned Ormsby. one Of the
members of the gang, well; quiet,
dignified little man, gray about the
temples, and when he told me the
following story the pallor of the fed

Donald BeathOn Dead

Donald Beathon, one of the
most highly respected citizens of
this city, died on Thursday morn
ing of last week. Mr.. Beathon
suffered a stroke of paralysis a
few days before, and never rail-
lied. His son, Norman, was in
Idaho, and was telegraphed for,
arriving only about an hour be-
fore the final dissolution.
Funeral services were held at
the residence Friday afternoon,
after which interment was made
in the Baxter cemetery.
Mr.. Beathon was a tailor by
trade, and conducted shop for
many years, finally quitting the
work because of his age. He
was1 ( good man, and had a host
of friends. He Is survived by
his wife and one son, Norman.

A BaId.Headed Woman.
Shorn Of Her Crown Of Beauty
Loses in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most neces-
sary to woman. Who could love
and marry a bald-headed woman!
What charms could one array to
offset such a Disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her crowning
glory is her hair. The loss OF
her hair mars her beauty, hap
piness, and success. Yet, right
here in Baxter Springs, there
are hundreds of women who are
neglecting or injuring their hair
to such an extent that it is only
a matter of time when it will be
utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the
beauty of their hair through
thoughtlessness or ignorance OF
certain facts. They use curling
irons over-heated, or to excess,
which destroys the natural oil OF
the hair, causing it to split,
break, and come out. They do
not shampoo their hair often
enough, or too often. They use
soaps or preparations which con.
tain ingredients positively harm
full to the scalp and hair.
AS a result of such treatment,
dandruff is created, the hair loOs-
ems, loses color, falls out, and
badness commences, unless prop
er and prompt precautions are
taken in time. Then again, mi

When the scales are balanced
