FINDS PLEASURE IN KNITTING
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, Society
Leader. Practices Somewhat
Unusual Accomplishment.

That Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
who is one of the most active mem
bers of New York society and lead
er among philanthropists, should
find time for the old fashioned occu-
patton of knitting is surprise to
many of her friends. But when she
is not attending a meeting at the
Colony club, of which she is presi-
dent; equipping milk stations for
poor babies, making speeches at club
meetings, looking after the welfare
of children in general, or devoting
time to the management of her coun-
try home in Westchester, she is likely
TO be found with a pair of knitting
needles in her hands and ball of
worstcd tucked in a knitting bag on
her lap. Her especial fancy in this
line Of feminine work runs to knit
ting waistcoats for Mr.. Hartman,
and she does them so quickly that be-
fore he has had chance to wear one
out another, different in coloring and
design, is ready for the tailor to
make up. Mrs. Hartman knits the
most intricate patterns with ease
and speed, and when she finds
friend who is equally fond of the
quaint old time fancy work she is de-
lighted to sit down and spend q
pleasant hour OF two with her.

CHILDISH FANCY.

Mrs. Shepard sat on her piazza,
entertaining little Helena from next
door. After a prolonged pause in the
conversation, during which the
child's eyes had fixed themselves per-
sistently upon Mrs. Shepard's can
vas-shod feet, she inquired tenta-
lively:
'Do you like white stockings. Mrs.
Shepard? ?"
"Why, yes. like them with white
shoes"
That's very funny" observed
Helena refiectively, her eyes still
fixed on Mrs. Shepard's feet. 81
didn't know grown up ladies ever
wore white stockings; I thought it
was only suffragettes."

Back from Eastern Trip.

c. C. Patten returned home a few
days ago from a combined business
and pleasure trip to Chicago. Pitts
burg. Pa. Wheeling. West Va, and
to Cleveland. Cadiz. New Athens and
other points in Ohio. Mr.. Patten says
agricultural crops OF all kinds In the
upper Ohio valley are better this sea-
son than they have been for twenty
five years and that business condi-
tions are on the up grade as a re-
suit of the prosperity OF the farmer.
Mr.. Patten. who was gone four or
flve weeks. says the return OF better
times is nowhere more apparent than
1t is in Chicago. where commercial
building is more active than ii Das

FORCERIES
COMMITTED BY
STRANGERS

The police arrested two unknown
men In the vicinity OF the opera house
here late last Saturday night on the
charge OF forgery and locked them
up in the county jail pending an In
vestigation OF the matter In JUSTICE
Armstrong's court They gave thHr
names as John jackson and Thomas
Hayes. The former attempted TO pass
n check for ten dollars at Bcthel's
clothing store to which the name Of
c. II. Shirley. the well known local
blacksmith. had been forged. and, IN
being searched after being taken into
custody. a second fraudulent check
for a similar amount. also against
Mr. Shirley. was found on his person.
Hayes Is suspected OF being an ac-
complice IN the effort made by his
companion to obtain money by false
pretenses. jackson and Hayes seem
TO be pair OF pretty smooth profess
sional swindlers and thorough IN
qulry will be made into their ante
cedents- They are believed to have
come here from Pueblo and the names
they gave the authorities are thought
TO be ficsicIous.
After the above was written and set
up in type Il was learned that Jack
son and Hayes worked the spurious
check game more extensively than
was supposed at the time OF their
arrest II developed today that they
cashed two checks for fifteen dollars
each Saturday night in addition to
those mentioned. one OF them at the
Feiter clothing store and the otter
at the Baker a Biggs Mercantiis con ,
pany. All of the checks purporied to
have been signed by Mr. shirley and

There Are Wars and Wars.

which the world would have been In.
comparably the poorer that we could
never have done without them. And
one also %perceives to his astonish-
ment If he is a practical man." that
the wars which have been gigantic
blunders and crimes have all been
wars for the attainment OF practical
ends, like territory, or markets, or
wealth. while the wars which the
world could not have done without
have all been a for abstract prin.
ciples, for beliefs, for religions, for
mad dreams and seemingly impossible
hopes. The world could well spare the
c%onquests Of Napoleon, because the
wars were merely for Napoleon; but
the world could not spare the martial
conflicts surrounding and realizing the
French revolution. because II was a
war for those abstract and sensible
absurdities. liberty, equality and fra
ternlty. We could well spare the
Mexican war. which was a fight for
territory, but we could not at all get
along without the Civil war, which
was a war for man-The Atlantic

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply you
with no energy, no force. They can
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to a horse,
draws strength from you. or rather
out Of you, but II can give you none.
So far from helping you, beer. wine
and spirits will hinder you in what
ever work you have to do. other
things being equal, you will have the
greatest s~teadiness OF hand, firmness
Of grasp, and clearness of mind. by
total abstinence from every kind OF
intoxicating liquor.
This has been my W experience,
and It has been the experience OF
vast numbers of men and women liv-
ing in every country, and following
every kind Of occupation. Alcohol has
been found to reduce the strength,
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total abstinence.-Dr. Norman N.
Kerr.

Where does he go, in France?"
ITO Vicques," the low answer came.
Francois sank back. tortured.
Going to Vicques, the little Battista!
From Castleforte! And he. Francois,
must stay here In prisonl His soul
was wrung with q sudden wild home
sickness. He wanted to see Alike, to
see his mother, to see the general; to
see the peaceful little village and the
stream that ran through it, aud the
s~teep-arched bridge, and the poppy
fields, and the corn! The gray castle
with its red roofs, and the beech wood,
and the dim, high-walled library, how
he wanted to see It all! How his heart
ached, madly, fiercely! This was the
worst moment Of all his captivity. And
with that, Battista was over him, was
murmuring words again. Something
was slipped under the bedclothes.
"Paper-pens. The signor will write
a letter this afternoon. And tomor.
row little Battista will take IT,"
And the heart Of Francois gave a
sudden throb of Joy as wild as its an.
guish. He could speak to them before
he died; 1t might be they could save
him. His hands stole to the package
under the coarse blanket. 1t seemed
as II in touching it he touched his
mother and his sweetheart and his
home.

Sabre de bois! What Is your news,
then, you silly child?"
And Alike, shaking very much, laid
her hand on his cheek and looked
earnestly into his eyes. Father
Francois is alive!"
For all his gruff self-control the gen
eral made the letter an excuse shortly
to sit down. Queer. that a mans knees
should suddenly bend and give way
because Of a thrill OF rapture in a
mans psychological makeup! But the
general had to sit down. And then
and there all that had been extracted
from little Battlsta was rehearsed, and
the letter read over from start to fin
ish.
But he is alive, father! Alive!
That Is happiness enough to kill one.

Alike looked at Pietro and laughed,
but the general paid no attention. "He
must be got out. There is no time to
waste. Diable! He is perishing in
that vile stable! What was that the
lad said about the doctors speech,
that only a long sea voyage could save
him? One must get him out, mon dieu,
quick!"
Alike, her hand on his arm. put her
head down on It suddenly and stood
so for a moment, her face hidden.
Pietro, his hands thrust deep in his
pockets, looked at the general with
wide gray eyes, considering. With that
Alike flashed up, turned on The young
Italian, shaking her forehnger at him;
her eyes shone blue fire.
THAT is for you, Pietro. II we
should lose him now, Just as we have
found him! Now is the time for you
to show II you can be what is brave
and strong, as Francois has shown. II

said nothing.
