found out where she was, bu-
when Flood did find out he took
immediate action.
He wrote to his friend, Chas.
Furthman, clerk in the office of
former States Attorney John E.
w. Wayman, and told Furthman
he would like to have Mrs. Gold
man returned to New York.
(Furthman took trip to New

shown the sights by Police Lieut..
Barney Flood.

$24 from some unknown person

very formal documents, and are

with the explanation that the
signer is the governor of that

These extradition papers were
signed by John Dix" and there
was no explanation that "John
Dix" was the governor of New
York. The full name of the pres
ent governor of New York is
John A. Dix.

Flood had taken a dislike to
Mrs. Goldman. Flood is a politi-
clan. Flood gets all the easy,
soft jobs in the New York police
department. Flood is known as
''the handsome detective"
Flood tried to "get" Mrs. Gold
man. in various ways for months,
but always failed until March,
1911.
Then he did get" her. A
friend of Floods, a private de.
tective and a crook, named Sher-
ry, met Mrs. Goldman on the
street.
"How much money have you
got?" Sherry asked her.
81 have $24," Mrs. Goldman re-
piled.
"How much are you going to
give me?" asked Sherry.
"I'll give you half-$12," said
Mrs. Goldman, who knew Sherry
and knew that if she did not give
the money voluntarily it would be
taken from her.
"All right" said Sherry, and
took the SIP.
Then Sherry arrested her, and
handed her over to Lieut.. Barney
Flood, who charged her with
Stealing $24 from some person
unknown"
Now this is a charge that does
not hold good in New York nor
in any other state of the union.

EFFECT OF GRASS ON TREES
Experiments Made in England Seem
to Have Shown That 1t Is
Injurious.

At the Woburn experimental fruit
farm long inquiry has ben conduct
ed into the effect of grass on trees,
and the experiments which have been
carried out form the substance of the
thirteenth report of the farm, which
has just been issued.
1t has been shown that the general
result of grassing the ground. either
by sowing seed or replacing the turf
after the trees have been planted, is
the arrestation of all healthy growth
and the absolute stunning of the
tree.
A light and unhealthy character i'm
parted to the leaves is one of the FIRST
noticeable results of the action Of
grass upon trees. With trees that are
feeling the full effect of grass the
fruits are found to be small and i'll
developed.
The variations in soil temperature
are less when the ground is. grassed,
and this alone would be favorable to
the growth of trees; but this good in
fuence is outweighed by the dele
FERROUS effects.-London Daily Mail.

SCHEME WORTHY or CHICAGO
Plans for Beautiful Park That Will
Make 1t One Of the Show Cities
of the Country.

A long stride toward the realization
OF the Chicago Beautiful plan was
made just before the close of the past
year when, through the cooperation of
the city, the South Park commission,
the Chicago Plan commission, and the
Illinois Central railroad, the people of
Chicago regained control of the lake
front. The vexing problem of the loca-
ton of the Field Museum of Natural
History was also solved, and the beau
tiful structure will be erected in a GEN.
Park, which is in the southern por-
ton of the city.
In the deal between the city, the
South Park commission, and the Illi-
nois Central railroad, the city acquires
the riparian rights from Twelfth street
to Fffty-frst street, affording opportu-
nifty for the creation of island parks
for miles along the shore. The plan
calls for the extension out into the
lake of the present shore line by fill
ing, and the making of a narrow island
or strip of land about seven or eight
miles long, paralleling the shore line
from Grant Park to Jackson park,
about 400 feet out in the lake.
Between the extended shore line
and this outer strip of parks will be a.
lagoon, approximately 400 feet wide,
providing a calm, comparatively safe
waterway for canoeing, INCORPORATING
and rowing. Channels, giving access
from the lagoon to the lake, will be
provided at intervals, viaducts will
connect the island parks and the shore,
two great pleasure piers, extending
half mile out into the lake, will be
constructed, and a boulevard connect
ing Grant and Jackson parks, will be
built along the lake side of the outer
strip of land. Bathing beaches will be
constructed at various points, and the
island parks will be real Fairgrounds
for all of Chicago, where baseball, ten
mis- and all manner of outdoor sports
may be INDUCED in. All this will be a
part of chain of parks and boule-
wards which will extend 20 miles along
the shores of Lake Michigan.
The Field Museum of Natural His
tory, over which so much controversy
has been waged, due to the successful
fight made against its location in
Grant Park, will be located on made
land Immediately east or lakeward of
the present Illinois Central railroad
depot, which depot is to be torn down
and a new one built facing north,
fronting on Twelfth street and abut-
ting on Michigan avenue. In this po-
sition the museum will overlook Grant
Park, looking north.
The made land required in this
scheme can be provided, at practically
no cost, at the rate of 100 acres a
year, by utilizing Chicago's waste ma
terial.

Nothing is so disastrous as losing
ones temper When you feel so tow
ering, raging mad that you want to
fight some one.s take yourself by your
collar or forelock and conduct your
self to a place of quiet seclusion.
There endeavor to discover within
your head some few grains of sound
sense upon which to dwell long and
thoughtfully. What's the good of los
ing ones temper? Lots of times you
hand people undeserved rebukes, and
then it is tremendous nuisance try
ing to forget how unkind you have
been.
Be patient. Be patient with the

your own. Take care of your health,
your morals, and your spiritual self.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, it just seemed as
though 1 could tear the skin all of.
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
rted me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
| was so afraid l would have to give
up my employment.
My doctor said he didn't think it
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day saw a piece
in one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint.
ment and was cured. l decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before l had used one cake of Cuti-
