anticipated that still another one

necessity of transmitting the cur

the transformer.

One of the few mail swindles which
touched the wealthy classes exclu.

to many hundreds.
Among other swindles carried on
through the mails are inducing bet

letic contests, selling worthless goods
through misrepresentation, obtaining
commissions on fraudulent orders,
selling divinng rods for locating min

cotton deals, brokerage frauds, obtain
ing money by impersonating other per
sons, obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses, selling state rights and estab-
fishing fictitious agencies, selling un-
fair gambling devices, using "no-fund"
checks, matrimonial schemes, selling
cancelled postage stamps and Mexican
money, obtaining expense money on
promise to sell stocks, collecting fees
for imaginary positions, selling rights
to a patent many times in the same
state, securing advance payments on
goods not delivered, obtaining pay
ment from relatives of deceased per-
sons for goods supposed to have been

In 1914 more fraud orders were Is

sinninn While in DANGER.

Though there is no definite rule laid
down in the British naval regulations,
yet it has become an unwritten one
for the officers to instruct their men
to sing when they are in great danger,
as for instance, when their ship has
been mined or torpedoed and is sink

Thus many of the men on board the
Formidable went bravely to their
deaths Singing "Tipperary." A popu-
lar song, as rule, is ordered to be
sung because most of the sailors
know it, and collective singing puts

The division OF winnings from the

more elaborate schemes during the
five years are stated by the federal
authorities to have cleared millions,
while others got hundreds of thou
In other cases the post office inspec-

before they had chance to fleece any
large number of victims.
The scope of the fraudulent mail
business in this country may be gauged
TO some extent from the simple state
ment that $4,000 complaints concern
ing schemes to defraud were made to
the post office department during the
last fiscal year, in addition to the rou-
tine inspections of the post offices.
Approximately 100 different kinds OF
swindles are included in the schemes
whereby the mail operators have gath
cred in the coin of the innocent since
1910. Schemes for stock selling and
for treating disease by mail are the
two swindes which have netted more
money than any other kinds. In the
report of the solicitor for the post Of
flee department it is stated that in
1914 of the frauds suppressed through
the issuance of fraud, orders-which
bar the mails to the schemes specified
therein - the most profitable were
those operated for the treatment of
disease. In 1913, on the other hand,
it was stated that "the stock selling
proposition seems to appeal to the
public more than any other one fraud
scheme unearthed."
OF the medical frauds the report for
1914 says:
"These schemes were insidious, VIZ
cious and highly detrimental to the
public welfare, while the methods pur-
sued were the most unconscionable
with which the department had TO

the courts they were also the most

CUSTOM OF TEA DRINKING
Love 5rewed the First Cup, According
to Legend Believed
in China.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as drink, and how it
originated is told in a pretty little leg
end that dates from 1000 years before
the coming of Christ, says lreland's
Own.
A daughter of then reigning soyer-
eign fell in love with a young noble
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances and he occasionally
gathered few blossoms and had them
conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man endeav-
ored TO give her few flowers, but
so keen was the watchfulness of her
attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On leaving her room she put the
twig in water and toward evening she
drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterward she had
punches of the tea tree brought to her,
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form OF
! fiattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment, and with such pleas.

be ugly. He used to scowl at the lit
tie doc when he met him. But on a
certain night Dutchy, having had
more than was good for him, felt In
the mood for trouble.
Jim Moffat and Phil Duggan, who
were seeing him back, at the request
of the town marshal, tried to pull him
past the stoop, but Dutchy shook
them away and stood facing the lit
tie doc, who was tanning himself at
Miss Lidas side.
II you're a man you'll come down
from behind woman's skirts and
talk face to face!" screamed Dutchy.
The little doc came down. Miss
Ida let out a cry, but there wasn't
anything to be done for Dutchy was
a big man and he could have smashed
Phil and Jim with blow of his fist,
to say nothing of the little doc.
The doc came up TO Dutchy and
looked keenly into his eyes
"Ha, the furor Teutonicus, l see!"
he said to himself, as though sum
ming up the condition of patient.
And then, while Dutchy was still
showering him with insults he caught
hold OF his hand and felt his pulse,
quite in a professional way.
You'd best go home to bed,
Dutchy," said the little doc.
Dutchy stared at the doc in speech
less anger for few moments Then
he shot out his big fist and caught the
doc on the mouth, knocking him down
and cutting his lip open.
"IIave you spunk enough to fight,
you little shrimp" he roared
The little doc, very pale. stood be-
fore Dutchy, not attempting to defend
himself
"IIo!" roared Dutchy. Nice sort
of man you're going to get, Miss Ida,
Why, Id fight the little whippersnap-
per with one hand tied behind me-"
Then, being somewhat pleased with
his work, Dutchy permitted Duggan
and Moffat to lead him home, still
breathing out threats of what he was
going to do TO the doc next time
he caught him on Miss Lidas porch.
What Miss Ida said to him is un-
known, for she sat In a sort of daze
while the little doc was being knocked
down However, 1t was noticed that
the little doc didn't call on her for
day or two, and next time he
dropped in Jim Moffat was there, hav-
ing apparently been restored to favor.
And though Miss Ida was friendly
enough with the little doe, anyone
could have seen that things weren't
quite the same.
For however small man may be, it
is expected that he will do something
when he gets hit across the mouth,
instead of picking himself up and smil'
ing, as the doc had done. And Miss
Ida was certainly placed in an un-
comfortable position, for no girl likes
going with coward.
