A Ridiculous
Affair
Continued from page 7

PerShing came In. l should have SAID
this was near half past five and everybody
except Miss Lewis and had gone. told
Miss Lewis she could go then, and called
Pershing into my ROOM"
The treasurer paused q moment and
contemplated the opposite wall thought
fully.
at seemed pretty clear to me, he re-
sumed, "that Pershing must have put the
counterfeit money in there, because no.
body else, so far as knew, ever touched
the cash in the safe; and if he had put the
counterfeit money there, it was likely he
had taken out good money in it's place.
OF course, if he was guilty | wanted him
to confess, and talked with him for some
little time-maybe ten minutes. But |
couldn't get anything out of him. He just
said he didn't know anything about it.
at seems Miss Lewis, instead of going
home, fingered out in the hall few
minutes, being excited and curious to
know what would happen. Then she'd
gone downstairs, and was lingering around
the front door when Mr.. Green, on his
way home, came across her, and she
told him about the counterfeit money.
So Mr. Green came Immediately up to
my office, where | was still trying to get
Pershing to confess. | took him into the
vault to show him the counterfeit money;
and Pershing slammed the vault door
shut, locking us in there, and ran
away"
JACOB GREEN nodded and drove
claw-like hand into the mat of his
short red beard.
"An hour later" he said to the third
man, "some woman telephoned to the
watchman to come and let us out of the
vault"
He looked along the table at Sara and
added perhaps this young lady can
tell us something about that"
"I?" cried Sara. "How should know
anything about it?'
"The watchman was rather under an
impression it was your voice. the presi-
dent replied drily.
How should watchman know my
voice." she demanded; and before he
could answer, she inquired: "Who is this
gentleman, please?"
She referred to the third man, who sat
on the same side of the table with her,
three or four feet away. He was a burly
person, WlJn Deelv shoulders ana u nedVy
face, marked with patches of fine red veins
on each cheek. His eyes, half hidden
by puffy eyelids, were singularly dull
looking
"That gentleman" Jacob Green re-
piled, represents the United States Gov
ernment-which, of course, is interested
in all cases of counterfeiting.
But this isn't case of counterfeiting,
she asserted positively. "Counterfeiting
is putting bad money in circulation. This
money never was put in circulation. 1t
was just put in safe. That's something
entirely different, isn't it?"
"Well, that's so-thats so," the man
replied thoughtfully. "Of course, if he
simply put the money in the safe and
never tried to pass it outside" His
singularly dull-looking eyes contemplated
Sara's eager face, and he repeated, much
impressed: "Of course, if he only put the
money in the safe But very likely he's
been passing counterfeit money outside,
too"
mo, he never has!' Sara answered
with prompt vigor. "He has never passed
single bit anywhere!'

IMPROVE OUR OPPORTUNITIES.

We have learned with much regret
and surprise that only few OF the wo-
men of our race are taking advantage
of the excellent opportunity to improve
and enlighten along domestic science
lines that is opened to them at Elich's
Gardens, Mondays, Thursdays and Fri
days of each week.
That they are made welcome and
the same consideration and courtesy
extended to them as to the women OF
other races, has been tested In the
fullest sense. They are made part,
as it were, of this large class and dls-
elimination is unknown. Women who
have devoted the best part of their
lives to the study of the culinary art,
speak in the highest terms OF the good
results to be obtained by attendance
and state that each day they attend
they learn something new and pro1lt-
able as well as exceedingly palataDle.
So many times and in SO many
places the doors Of opportunity are
closed against us that it would be well
and wise if no other good was ac-
complished to show our appreciation
of the invitation to become part
of this summer cooking school, where
no color line is drawn. Send your
daughters who are the coming moth
ers and wives of the nation. NO fee
is charged. Your season ticket can
be secured gratis at Daniels &. Fish
ers store, or at the Denver Gas &
Electric Light Co. office, by register
ing your name. The same ticket ad-
mits you through the gates of the Gar
den. The lecture begins at p. m.
each Monday, Thursday and Friday
We would be exceedingly proud IN
a few issues hence to announce that
the attendance of our women has won
derfully increased and perhaps thru
this avenue of opportunity may open
up larger and greater advantages II
we show our appreciation, interest and
adaptability to higher things.-C. NJ.

WEBSTER CITY is
"CLEANED" BY TAKERS

Webster City, Sept 29.-Webster
City has just been cleaned" again by
corps of fake magazine solicitors.
For the most part their victims have
been women, for the magazines they
have claimed to sell have been the va
rious we'll known women's monthly
papers.
The crew made a very thorough
house to house canvass of the city.
The magazines were offered at ridicll-
lously low prices Ito introduce them"
The price was so low that they got an
order from almost every home.
But the magazines failed to como
and inquiry brings the news from the
publishers that no solicitors are work
ing this territory.
There is no clew to the men who
worked this fake here. The same
thing, however, has happened several
times in the past few years. The fax
ers seldom take more than so cents
from victim, hence no one takes any
particular trouble to catch them.
Hence they work almost unmolested.

FOURTEEN WOMEN
WAN DIVORCE
IN SEVENTEEN SUITS FILED AT
kEokUK co. ONLY THREE
MEN SEEK SEPARATIONS.

Sigourney, Sept 29.-The October
term of the district court of Keokuk
county will convene on Monday morn
ing, Oct 4, with Judge Henry Silwold
presiding, and j. O. Linabury, official
reporter. The bar docket issued by
the clerk of the court, G. G. Utterback,
shows there are for hearing at this
term of court seventy-five probate
cases; six criminal cases and on the
law and equity side of the docket
there are 156 cases. OF the 156 cases
on the law and equity side of the
docket there are seventeen divorce
actions based upon the various
grounds are the wives asking for sep
aration from their delinquent husbands
and In the remaining four cases the
husbands are the plaintiffs. This is a
larger number of divorce cases filed
for any single term Of court in many
years past, and If only fair percent
age of the divorces asked for are
granted this term will surely be a
record breaker for divorces.

NEW TREATMENT TO
SAVE ON FENCE POSTS

Anes, Sept. 29.-By effective creo'
sote treatment many species of sort
wood such as willow, soft maple, cot.
tonwood, ETC., now considered almost
vauleless for fence posts, may be made
to last twenty-five years or more and
the annual cost Of these less durable
posts reduced one-half. AS Iowa
spends $4,00O,0OO year for fence
posts, creasoting makes possible a
saving of millions.
D Experiments that have lasted over
Va period of twelve years conducted at
the Iowa agricultural experiment sta
ton, have produced some valuable re-
SUITS in connection with value and
methods of fence post preservation:
These results have been incorporated
In a new bulletin, No. 158, which has
jus. been published by the expert
ment station.
]. Since the quality and amount OF
ssreservation in piece of wood, and
bt the wood itself, determine largely
us length of service, it will be seen
that many Of the inferior soft woods
ictually have an advantage, over the
Nhar woods in that they take up the
preservation more readily.

LOUIS MURPHY TO
BE SUIT DEFENDANT

Dubuque, Sept. Or. Louis Muir
ply, collector of internal revenue fol-
the state Of Iowa and resident OF this
city, has been made the defendant In
a suit to be instituted by the Tele
raph-Herald, a daily newspaper In
this city In which Mr.. Murphy IS re
quested to pay to the paper the sum
OF $6,070.37.
This amount, it is understood, rep.
resents the principal of the settlement
made by the paper in connection with
the suit for libel brought by Joseph J.
OFT in 1910, together with the court
costs and the interest thereon from
that time to this.
Mr.. Murphy at that time was EN-.
ployed on the paper in the capacity OF
editor, and It is said, wrote some edi.
torials which brought about the libel
suit.
! Strange rs it may seem, Mr., Murphy
continued as editor of the paper for
several years after the settlement Of
the libel suit and now comes the
paper with the demand that he pay
the amount they paid, together with
costs and interest.
