$4,000, 900 Eorued In 1911,

albert S. Osborn, author Of 'Ques.
toned Documents and an authority
on the subject, declares that the forg.
cry loss in this country for the year
1911 is fully SIS, 100000" writes Frank
Marshall White in the Munsey. In an
article, "The Day of the F'orger," the
writer quotes Osborn as saying:
Clever penmen are leaving trail of
bad checks reaching from Portland,
Me-, to Portland, Ore. Banks and ho-
tells are naturally the shining marks
of the forger; but nearly, If not
quite, as much money is paid out on
forgeries by individuals, small store
keepers, and business houses as by all
the banks and hotels combined. A
large proportion. especially of the
unreported forgeres, Is IN amounts
of less than 500. II the forger OF a
small check has vanished, and only
a doubtful clue remains, the natural
impulse is not to "send good money
after bad" In most cases, nothing is
done, and tao criminal goes on his
way unhampered and unafraid. Banks
naturally do not care to have 1t
known that they pay out customers
money on forged paper. and II the
forger is gone they are not inclined
to take much trouble to find him"

in the show business by exhibiting a
remarkable negro woman, believed to
be 100 years old, and said to have
been a nurse to George Washington.
An old bill of sale was exhibited,
properly dated, concerning Joyce
Heth, then 54 years old, and evidence
was also furnished that she was
nurse to George Washington. Every
thing seemed SO straightforward to
the young man that he was eager to
become the proprietor Of this novel
exhibition, which he purchased for
81 600, $500 of which he paid down,
selling out his interest In the grocery
business, and the other $500 he Dor

was to make people talk and become
