Ore Ships on the Lakes.

The great movement of cargoes on,
the lakes has brought about remark
able developments, according to the
Engineering Magazine. A type of ship
was evolved for this service which has
superseded all other carriers on the
lakes. The hold is one long trough,
without stanchions or braces to inter
fere with unloading. The deck beams
are portal Orders worked into the
frames. The matches are spaced uni
formly 70 feet centers, to suit unload
ing machinery, and have telescope

BAD CHECKS WERE COMMON
Hotel Man Recalls the Ways of Some
Slick Swindlers In the
Past.

Owing to the great carelessness ex-
ercised in cashing checks, 1t used to
be possible for anybody who knew
the lay of the land to work off bad
checks on a hotel where l used to be
a room clerk said a former hotel
man yesterday. 81 hatter myself, how
ever, that of all the half a million dol
lars worth of paper l o. KID during
the half dozen years l was connected
with the establishment neither the
hotel nor l lost a cent.
"But time and time again l used to
witness a performance like this:
"A man would arrive and register
himself as Reginald w. Drexel, Phil
adelphia.' or give an equally well
known family name in some other
city. The head clerk would fall over
himself in his anxiety to give the new
arrival one of the best room in the
house. A little later, the stranger,
having inquired the name of the chief
clerk, would approach and speak to
him:
"'Oh, Mr.. Blank, my uncle told me
to see you and make myself known.
He said if l should happen to need
any money while l was in New York,
you would be able to fix it up for me-
81 shall be only too glad the head
clerk would reply. 1T was very
thoughtful of your uncle to remember
me. l hope he is well. Come right
this way
Then he would hustle the man, a
perfect stranger to him, over to the
cashiers window, and introduce him,
and say it was all right If Mr.. Drex-
ell wanted to get any checks dashed
or needed any money.
"'Mr. Drexel' would soon find him
self a little short and the cashier
would let him have a couple of hun
bred dollars or more perhaps once or
twice. Then the young man would
suddenly leave the hotel the next day,
with no suspicion being aroused, in
case he had drawn cash, for perhaps
a month or more, when his uncle In
Philadelphia, in reply to a bill sent
him, would Indignantly disclose that
Mr.. Reginald w. Drexep was an i'm
postor. If it was a check that young
Mr.. Drexel' had cashed, he was sure
to have gone before the bank on
which It was drawn could get word to
New York hat the draft was worth
less"

Farmer DELAYED Duel.

M. Rouzier Dorcieres of Paris, who
has fought many duels and directed
over 200 others, enjoys telling the fol
lowing story:
Two gentlemen who had decided to
settle a quarrel on the field of honor
betook themselves with their seconds
to a quiet country spot where they
would be free from reporters, photog-
raphers and spectators and where the
only witnesses would be some cows
~peaceably grazing in the field.
While the necessary preliminaries
were being carried out the farmer on
whose land they were rushed up.
Excuse me, gentlemen" he said
but is it a sword or pistol duel?"
Sword. But what difference can
that make to you?"

SAVED BY A GIRL
BY o n ELMER coee.

i was about at the end of my re-
sources, in fact stranded in Paris with
few friends, and my art education not
yet completed. Up to a few months a
benevolent half uncle in New York
had financed me. He had died and l
had no further dependence on that
source as his estate had one to 9TH
ers.

the students quarter chilly wintry
evening calculating my slim funds and
prospects. There seemed no way
open for me except to give up a cher
tshed proposition for a trade and re-
turn to my native soil. There came
a tap at the door.

and l reached my hand to seize the
strap and signal the driver to stop.
The hand of my companion shot for
