name Of Mr.. McGahee. He attempted TO
Traders bank, in Peters street, but the
cashier, suspecting crookedness, detained
him and sent for an officer The amount

is accused of forging the names of Mr.
Howell and Mr. Grinnell to checks for $50
each, which were rendered to two down
town department stores. Boatfleld de-
MES the forgeries, and protests that the
checks were given him by another man
with instructions to present them at the
respective stores.

presented note, in the first instance
signed by Mr.. GrinneI asking that SIS

that the remainder Of the $50 check be
returned to him in change.

and other downtown stores were warned
to be on the lookout The next check
presented was indOTsed with the name Of
Mr. Howell. 1t was accompanied by
note similar to the first.

had no account in this particular store,
and, as the credit man already was on
MS guard, the game was nipped, Boatfield
being taken into custody. He insisted at
the time that he was merely acting as q
messenger, and went with the credit man
to Whitehall and Alabama streets to
point out the man he said gave him the
note. He failed to find him and was
locked in the police station.
Detectives give his story some credence,
however, and are making every possible
effort to find the man..

dazzling operator, by isaac F. Marcos
son in his article, "!he Millionaire
Yield Of Pittsburg," III Munsey. One
of them deals with tho erection of his
famous hostelry, says the writer.
about IL years ago Nicola built a
million-dollar hotel III an out-of-the-
way corn.field. People thought he was
insane. Now he has reared about It
a whole civic center, which includes a
memorial hall. an armory, and fine
clubs, and will In time embrace the
new University Of Pittsburg. It was
Mr.. Nicola who vivified a string Of de-
crepit railroad properties, and sold
them to George J. Gould as the nu-
cleus of the Pittsburg division Of the
Wabash system. He is a dreamer Of
indomitable will, and he has seen
some OF his big dreams come true"

A sneeze between midnight and

lucky, one or three very unlucky, and

4 girl was riding toward Hoicomb,
riding like the wind on a wiry pinto.
Behind her was an escort OF four
Yaqui maidens, who did not display
the grace and abandon of their leader.
She brought her horse up standing
within few feet of Holcomb's own.
and the adventurer say that she was
not Indian at all, but pure Spanish.
Her creamy, oval face, full scarlet lips
and eyes like pools of black water
made her very attractive.
The black eyes appraised Holcomb
swiftly. He sat his horse like cow
boy. but the pack animal behind was
laden with the outfit of the prospector.
He was bronzed by hot suns, and his
handsome face carried an expression
of bold fearlessness that just escaped
recklessness.
'Senor," she said abruptly in Span

"Why?" demanded Holcomb abrupt

slender peaks arose from the gray OF
the desert into the hard blue Of the

tents Of the town were grouped on a
shelf just above high water.

Formation Of Gas In the Stomach
Calls for Immediate Corrective
Precautions.

Gas in the stomach always means
abnormal fermentation. When you
have it you are suffering from indiges-
ton.
Normal digestion is effected by
"fermeuts.' that Is, by very active
little chemical substances formed
within and by the digestive juices
from elements secreted for that pur-
pose. But these normal ferments yield
no gas as result of their activities.
When gas is formed, it means that
other, and an altogether different
class of ferments. are at work. Those
that form gas are organized ferments.
They are not chemical substances.
They belong to the plant kingdom.
They are Of the family of bacteria
The yeast plant is closely akin to
them. There are many kinds. The

Model Sermon.

A correspondent, a churchman,
somewhat moved by paragraph re-
garding sleeping in church, wrote that
he has no particular objection to the
congregation going to sleep, when it
has an excuse for doing so. But, I"
he writes, Il want to ask you what
you think Of this: I attend a church
where the assistant sleeps during the
sermon, and few Sundays ago he
had tho nerve to tell the rector It
was the finest sermon he had ever
heard him (the rector) preach, when
he had been sleeping through it,"
This Is certainly very shocking. We
submit, however, that If the assistant
slept calmly through the sermon he
could do no less than compliment It.
