MEANING OF FAT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever a prominent person dies. espe-
cially If he Is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Elk
press. This Is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a nag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the nag
OF the superior or conquering nation
above that Of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When ar army found itself hope
lessly beaten 1t hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above 1t Is for the flag of the great
conqueror of all-the angel of death.

DETECTIVE ARNOLD TELLS 1T.

"It is very difficult thing" said
Operator Arnold, formerly of the
United States secret service, "to get
get rid Of large amount of counter
felt money In this country without de-
lection, because of the safeguards
which are thrown around the genuine
notes. The plan Of protecting money
has received the greatest attention
from the treasury officials, and marks
and characters have been put upon
the bills which it Is intended shall
escape the counterfeiter's notice. 1t
would not be policy to tell what any
of these marks are, but it will not be
giving anything away to say that de-
fects are put into bills sometimes in
order to testify to their genuineness.
This is done on the supposition that If
a counterfeiter goes to work on bill
and discovers what may seem to be a
slight defect he will correct it, and
by doing so will furnish evidence of
his crooked work.
81 was put to work upon a gang OF
counterfeiters, however, which beat
the government at its own game. The
treasury department received notice
of a counterfeit from Boston of 500
bill on the First National bank of that
city The bill in question aroused
suspicion because the serial number
was duplicated. There was nothing
else about the bill that would excite
suspicion In the vignette of Lincoln
on the bank note an intentional de-
feet had been made in one of the lines
in the forehead and 1t was reproduced
in the counterfeit, and warning
was sent out calling attention to 1t.
within two weeks we had plenty
of work on our hands. for the banks,
in scrutinizing bills after receiving
notice, discovered several other coun-
terfeits of different banks. Reports
came to Washington from New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia. Boston, st.
Louis and other places Of the finding
OF counterfeits. It became very evil
dent that the country had been
flooded with the bogus money by a
very shrewd gang of counterfeiters. A
comparison of all the bogus bills indl-
Gated that they had all been made by

A FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
TO relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Observation-Disclosures - Is caused
by what is put into the stomach in the
way of improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength Of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled
When this state is reached, to resort
TO tonics is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
diminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
of heavy. greasy. indigestible food
and take on Grape-Nuts-light, easily
digested. full of strength for nerves
and brain. in every grain of 1t. There's
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.
al am an enthusiastic user Of Grape
Nuts and consider it an ideal food"
writes a Maine man:
81 had nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an advertisement I tried Grape-Nuts
food. and. after a few weeks steady
use of it, felt greatly improved.
Am much stronger. not nervous
now. and can do more work without
feeling so tired, and am better every
way.
81 relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls as
the cereal part of meal. i am sure
there are thousands or persons with
stomach trouble who would be bene-
fted by using Grape-Nuts." Name CIV

Robert BroWninq's VIII.

Diligent search is being made o.
Florence, Italy, for the will of Robert
Browning, son of the famous poet,
but so far 1t has not been found. The
fact that there apparently is no will
is causing considerable gossip, as
the property, of which there is good
deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss
Coddington of New York, and from
whom he lived apart for years owing
to incompatibility of temper.
Browning's property in Florence in
cluded Casa Guidi, where he spent his
childhood days. When his mother
died the property passed out of the
family, and was acquired by him a
few years ago.

Peters, who was photographer, and
Sam Stetson, an engraver, were kept
busily at work getting out the plates.
They had some new trick that they
were experimenting on for long
while, and, after lot of failures,
they found what they were after.
Plates were made for the bills of a
dozen or more. banks, and Forbes.
who was a good judge, said that they
were the finest plates ever used to
stamp bogus money. Peters was
very reticent about the way the plates
were made, and, as it was none of
our business, we didn't care. Taken at
the very worst, Peters was only
half-hearted crook. He came of a
very good family in Georgia,
when the plates were about done
I went with Forbes and got three
presses, which he had sent to a 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. l 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 I finally took a trip to
England and found a 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 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 sew eral weeks we
sent 1t to Flatbush. The nsrer was
as good as the genuine paper. and 1t
did not take us long to start the
presses. Stetson was a practical
printer and fixed the colored inks for
the different plates. Then We all took
turn at the presses, and a fellow
SOoi0 NV AO1P wing q I'LL III VI OC-
light as the piles of beautiful bills
were stacked up in the cellar.
1--WE 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 colored fluid. We
We're now ready for the real business
to begin. A careful comparison of the
counterfeits with a 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 bank to have it's gen.
uineness tested. 1t 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 month"

Collective Housekeeping.

An English paper tells of an expert
ment in collective housekeeping in
what is known as Brent Garden viii
lage. The dwelling houses contain all
Improvements except kitchen. Meals
for everybody are cooked at a CEN

there or sent home. A four-course din

7 lowing the Civil war were
the halcyon days of the
counterfeiter. The coun-
l try was fairly flooded
with bogus bank and
treasury notes. No man, when he re-
ceived a bill, could tell when ne pre-
scented it at 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
same serial number; for that was the
only means by which Forbes coun-
terfeit could be detected.
It 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 the excellence and activity of the
United States secret service have also
served to render the finer forms of
counterfeiting a lost art. Therefore
1t is interesting to review the rise
and fall of the greatest of them all,
the Forbes gang.
I knew Ned Ormsby, one of the
members of the gang, well; quiet,
dignifleI little man, gray about the
temples, aud when he told me the
following story the pallor of the fed
eral penitentiary was still upon him.

arises whether this is a suitable manner

such eminent Americans. whose names
are inseparably associated with the es-
Enlistment and development of the
American republic. These buildings were
not designed as memorial structures. but
as strictly utilitarian additions to the

give them memorial names long after
their completion and occupancy would
hardly be an adequate method of honor

memorials to them have been before the
country for a number of years. and are
even now being pressed actively by their
respective admirers. Associations have
been formed for this purpose. and doubt
less in the course of time either by pub
lie subscription or by congressional ap-
propria ton. the funds will be provided
for the execution of designs. To give
the names suggested to the two buildings
would probably check these enterprises
effectually. There are those who would
greatly prefer to see both Jefferson ana
Hamilton memorialized in Washington py
artistic creations such as those that nave
been erected for statesmen of later ana
in some respects less valuable activities.
There is danger. too. that the bestoWal
of the suggested names would fail of the
fun desired effect with the public. IL
is necessary for purposes of distinction
that these two buildings should be iden-
tilted, respectively with the House and
the Senate. and it is altogether probable
that. whatever memorial names might be
attached to them, they would continue to
be known by the designations which they
have borne since their erection. II there
is a sincere desire in Congress TO honor
Jefferson and Hamilton on national
scale ii should not take the cheap ana
possibly Ineffective form OF fastening
their names upon already existing build
ings. but should go To the length of ap-
adequate sums for the crea-
ton here of symbolic or practical memo
rails definitely designed to pcrpetuate
them.
