About Raising Bank Checks.

William j. Burns the great detec-
tive writes the following instruc-
tons regarding checks. 1t is such
valuable information that we sug-
gest that every one read it.
This agency is informed that
check raisers have been reported as
operating in your section, swindling
business men by raising" the
amounts on their genuine checks.
Therefore, we are sending this
notice to banks and business men
because it is often difficult to ap-
prehend forgers of this class unless
their operations are reported when
first discovered by the signer of the
manipulated check. 1t is suggested
that bank depositors make it rule
to check up their pass books as
often as possible, and use all due
precautions to discover such altera-
tons, if any. while there is still
time to obtain evidence.

The seventy-eighth year of its ex
istence finds the Toledo Blade more
popular than at any period during
its long and successful career. 1t
is read each week by more than a
million people. The Blades field is
national and it goes into every
state and territory in the United
States. thereby giving it an I'M
questionable right Of claiming to be
the greatest national weekly news
paper published in America.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly a
family newspaper. The one object
Of its publishers has always been to
make it fit for the American home,
for the freside, and of interest to
every member of the family. To
fulfill this purpose it is kept clean
and wholesome. The news of the
world is handled in a comprehen-
Sive manner, and the various de-
partments of The Blade are edited
with painstaking care. The House
hold page is a delight to the women
and children; current affairs are
treated editorially without preju-
dice; the serial stories are selected
with the idea of pleasing the great
est number of fiction lovers; the
Question Bureau is a scrapbook of
information; the Farmstead columns
are conducted with the purpose of
giving the patrons a medium for
the exchange of ideas and infor-
nation on farm topics. No depart
ment is neglected, but every feat
ure is taken care of with the idea
of making The Blade worth many
times the price of subscription

Warning to Wait Is Given Woodmen

The vote on the repeal of the
Chicago rates will be taken in De-
cember or some time after the fall
election The exact date will be
set by the three state officers desig-
mated in the Donohue bill providing
for the vote.
The progressives were getting out
a petition demanding a vote, but
the head Office seeing it was bound
to come, beat them to it, and sent
out a petition themselves, thus
making virtue of necessity.
The head Office is spending thous-
ands of dollars of the society's mon
ey in trying to get Woodmen to
transfer to the new rate before the
vote is taken.
If the rates are reduced by the
vote, anyone who thus transfers
will have to pay the high rate just
the same and not participate in the
benefit of the reduction. Do not
transfer till after the vote. The head
officers are spending $300,O00 try
ing to get members to change. The
order has accumulated a fund of
100000 in eight years with ten
assessments per year under the
present plan, and the proposed in
crease of 900 per cent in some
cases is out of all reason. They are

Care in writing amounts is rec.

Care in writing amounts is rec
commended. as well as the employ
ment of device tkat stamps a
limiting amount across the check,
such as is generally used by the
banks. and that every check, no
matter to whom issued, should be

The Boy of the City.

God help the boy who never sees
The butterflies, the birds, the bees
Nor hears the music of the breeze
When zephys soft are blowing.
Who cannot in sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms are thick and

And hear the gentle murmur nigh
Of brooklets softly flowing.
God help the boy who does not

Where all the woodland berries

Who never sees the forests glow
When leaves are red and yellow.
Whose childish feet can never stray
For such hapless boy l say
When Nature does her charms dis

HISTORY OF SENATORS
Sensational Squirt Proves Talk of
Baseball World.
Washington Team Has Won Seven
Cellar" Championships in Twen-
ty-Two Years in Major Leagues
Never Stood Very High.

The wonderful squirt made by the
Washington Americans this season I'M
der the skilful leadership of Clark
GFlfhth has been the talk of the whole
baseball world, as the fans at the seat
or government have waited in vain
Tor pennant contender during the
past 25 seasons.
The Washington club succeeded the
providence team in the National
league in 1886. This circuit was made
up as an eight-club league until the
early 9O's, when it expanded into a
circuit composed of II clubs.
Starting with the season of 1885,
the Senators finished as tail-enders
IN 1885, 1888 and 1889, claiming sew
enth place in 1887. They dropped out
IN 1890 and 1891, but came back into
12-club circuit the following seas on.
In 1892 they finished tenth and repeat
ed in 1895. The season of 1893 found
them once more the cellar champions.
In 1894, 1895 and 1898 they managed
to cling to eleventh place, refusing to
be pushed to the bottom rung again.
In 1896 things took on a brighter
look and the team pulled up in ninth
place at the finish. The season of
1897 was banner one for the down
trodden Washingtonians, for they
climbed to the seventh rung, finishing
as proud leaders of the second divi-
sion teams in the 12-club circuit.
Washington dropped out of the Ma
tional league again in 1900 and joined
the new American league under Ban
Johnson in 1902. In an eight-club cir
cult the team dropped to sixth place
in 1902. They claimed the cellar
championship in 1904, 1907 and 1909.
The seasons of 1908, 1906, 1908, 1910
and 1911 found the Washington rep
resentation struggling along In sew
enth place at the close of these re-
spective seasons
Summing up the record of the
Washington team for % seasons we
find they have won seven cellar cham
pionships, finishing in 10 seasons as
runners-up for the tail-end gonfalon,
three times on the third rung from the
bottom of the ladder, once in ninth
place In 12-club circuit and last but
not least leaders for the first and only
time of the second division.

Demaree is the leading pitcher of
the Southern League. He is no raw
youngster, but this is the best season
he has ever had. He has been roam
ing around in the minors about five
years, and once had brief trial with
the Yankees. No Southern League
pitcher has held the enemy to as few
runs and hits as Demaree. He has
eight or ten shutouts to his credit,
and it is largely through his efforts
that Mobile is in second place.
Demaree was one of the pitchers
who shut out the Giants for thirteen
innings in Mobile last spring when the
champions played a scoreless tie with
the Sea Gulls. He is Highlander
with ability to mix 'em up" and
knows how to work batsmen. His
speed is not remarkable, and he is not
a big chap.

Family Taste and Ingenuity Shown In
Knckknacks of Uncommon

for Novelties.

The teas given to forthcoming
brides are graced by the most charm
ing favors. The best of the trifies are
bought at the high-class confection-
er's, where they are to be found in
a more novel and elegant form than
elsewhere, but smart florists also show
some very pretty things for this pur-
pose, as we'll as most of the large
department stores. Here and there,
too, one sees a tea table embellishee
with homemade knickknacks of |
common cleverness, some of thes
ltating the shop articles, and
inspired by the family's own tas -
ingenuity.

rounds of paper need to be cut the
required size and the edges pasted

The novelties strictly for bridal use
are always in pure white. There are
tiny dolls dressed as brides, wedding
trunks, slippers, little satin bags con-
tanning rice or confetti, wedding bells,
wee automobiles holding flowers or
candy, etc. Occasionally a groom in
black get-up, with the traditional white
boutonniere, is shown in this snowy
gathering, and one such little gentle
man adds a very realistic note to the
decorations of the table. Painted fig.
ures on cardboard bedeck place cards,

if anybody in the family has a gift for

are printed they are cheap enough.
