Oriental Water Bottles.

Hebron, one of the oldest cities in
Palestine, has always been famous for
its Oriental water bottles, made Of
goat skins. Here are to be found large
tanneries, where these receptacles are
turned out by the thousands. Lying
upon the ground in rows may be seen
hundreds of goat skins awaiting pur-
chasers. Each skin Is inflated, either
with water or with air, so that the
buyer may know it is perfectly water
tight. The majority Of the skins used
come from Arabia, while large num-
ber are also received from the Leb-
anons. They are brought to Hebron
by the camel caravans and are pur-
chased by the tanneries and turned
into bottles. They pass through many
processes and a tanner will spend a
week upon a single skin before it is
rendered water-tight and serviceable.
From Hebron these old bottles are
sent to all parts of the East, thou.
sands going down into Egypt and the
Sudan every year. They are also used
as RATS. A number of inflated skins
are attached to light wooden frame,
which then not only readily floats, but
is capable of carrying quite a heavy
load. Such RATS are to be seen on the
rivers of Syria and also on the Eu-
pirates and Tigris.-Birmingham Post.

business with hian, taking care not to
arouse his suspicious. Then, when he
had secured his confidence. he went
to a nearby photographer.
There is a fellow around here" he
told the photographer, whose picture
I've got to have. He isn't anxious to
be photo5 raphed, either. What l want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty
seventh street and Broadway and wait
till you see me. I'll come out about
noon with my friend and when you see
US you can level the camera and take
the picture"
This agreed upon, Peyser went to
see the printer, with whom he had al
ready arranged to have luncheon. At
noon they rounded the corner of Twen.

ser talking eagerly to the printer as
they walked along. The photographer
was seated on a bootblack stand, hav-
ing his shoes polished, camera in
hand, on the opposite corner. He lev
eled the camera at the dishonest
printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand, the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street Then he rested his camera on
the wheel of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.
Say" said the printer to Peyser,
who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have
l done that would make anyone want
picture of me?"
"You!" exclaimed Peyser, with a
laugh. ''Nobody's 'mugging you.
Why, there does seem to be- camera
man, but how do you know he isn't
aiming at me? Guess I'd make as
good-looking a picture as you would.
"I don't like it, anyway" said the
printer, and the keen eyes of the de-
tective did not miss the nervous COM
preston of his lips. The printer
pulled his wide.brimmed hat over his
face and shrunk his chin down on his
breast. "They can get picture of my
hat If they want it. That can't be
much good" he growled.

Thursday the authorities were pre-.
pairing to circulate photographs and
detailed descriptions of the missing
attorney.
Rumors relating to the affairs of the
Eureka association crystallized Thurs
day morning in an application by In
spector Devine to Common Pleas
Judge ]. c. Reeves to appoint a liqui-
dator.
Court Appoints Receiver.
The court appointed former County
Clerk w. ]. Fritz receiver and fixed
his bond at $25,00O.
The receiver now has charge of the
associations affairs and will wind up
its business or reorganize the concern
as soon as the exact situation has
been ascertained.
The reason given by Inspector De-
vine for the position OF the institution
is that George w. Moss appropriated
large sums to his own use.
According to Ira Baumgardner, Sec
retary of the association, Moss stated
that mortgages recorded in the books
of the company either did not exist or
were worthless.
The entries have been made, Baum
gardner says, upon reports by Moss Of
the legality of the transactions. The
total of these invalid securities
reaches $4,000, officials say.
After their meeting with Moss off
cials of the association asked state
inspectors to investigate the affairs
of the concern.
Inspector Devine reported to COM
mon pleas court Thursday that the ac-
counts of the association are in an
unsound condition. He charged def
cit Of $4,000 or more and asked for
the appointment of the receiver.
Thought Institution Sound.
1t was only recently that state in
spectors concluded an inspection of
the books of the association and re-
ported them to be in first-class shape.
Officials of the association are not
blamed for the present position.
1t is asserted the operations of Moss,
held responsible for the suspension
of business, were conducted on the
outside. He is said to have posed as
representative of the association In
selling mortgages and making other
deals, but the money, it is said, never
reached the associations treasury.
That Moss deals were not all made
with him posing as representative of
the association is indicated by the ap-
pointment Wednesday night of re-
ceiver for his personal affairs.

supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He it was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races in the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets, which
were filled in at the time of the bet
ting, served as record of the transac-
ton, and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on presenta-
ton of the ticket.
Toms business with the poolrooms
and bookmakers had thriven and it
seemed that the neat little profit from
printing the tickets would continue so
long as Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr.. Eagan got
word that there were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to duplicate Eagan's
tickets, and every once in a while win

ticket instead of to the real winner.

day a different color was used for a
different set of numbers, and as this
code was communicated secretly to
