The first dawn of love came last
year, when solder friend OF Miss
Blowman was ordered out to India in
the spring.
He was attached to the same bat
terry as the bridegroom, and told the
gunner of Miss Blowman's charms.
Mccarthy wrote to Miss Bowman,
enclosing a photograph and asking If
he might correspond with her.
The permission was granted, and

to illustrate the point But the one
which particularly appeals to me is
that of John Davis, who recently
pleaded guilty in New Haven, Conn.,.
to making plates for counterfeit five
dollar notes. Davis is an old offender,
and the illustrative case which | have
in mind was one in which he was the
central figure years back. 1t was
known as the Bank of England plot.
Davis had manufactured in London
and had planned there to lay down
counterfeit Bank of England notes
representing a value In excess OF
100000. His scheme was to have his
confederates in each of the great
money centers--London, Paris, Ber-
lin, Vienna, ST. Petersburg and New
York, simultaneously exchange the
notes at foreign money exchange bro
kers' Offices.
The workmanship of the product
was almost perfect. The notes were
the closest imitation to the Bank of
England notes that have ever been
discovered
Soon everything was in readiness
for the grand unloading-except one
thing. The conspirators had not tried
out the money to learn how readily 1t
might be accepted. Accordingly two
of the men assigned to the New York
end of the plot went over to the State
bank on Grand street and offered
counterfeit notes representing value
of $3.50. The conspirators erred in
presenting so much foreign money for
exchange at one time to a bank in that
neighborhood. The officials of the I'M
stitution compared the offered notes
with genuine notes of the Bank or
England, but could find no difference.
Still the officials were suspicious, babe
the conspirators wait a few minutes
and called up the secret service office,
which hurried men to the bank
Inevitable Detail Overlooked.
A close examination of the offered
notes by the government agents
showed the color of the printing to be
true; the color, ply and size of the
paper to measure accurately with the
Bank of England requirements, and
the strong main features of the etch-
ing represented in the print were true
to shading. 3e
Yet, as always, the detail was there
to prove the counterfeit work. The
watermark of the spurious notes was
more pronounced than the genuine.
Further, and to me more wonderful
STILL tiny guard, carefully placed on
the genuine note, was lacking in the
counterfeit. 1t was little thorn
shaped protuberance extending from a
certain letter in the word denominat-
ing the value of the note. The tiny
little sentinel could be observed only
with the aid of a fine magnifying
glass. 1t would be found only acci-
dentally except by one knowing ex-
actly where to look for it.
The New York members of the con-
spiracy were arrested, but released
when they stood on the assertion
that they had found the notes in the
street.
However, that was not all for the
conspirators. Later, Davis was arrest
ed in London. He turned kings evil
dence, received a suspended sentence
and reward, and came to this coun-
try to try his hand. His confession
resulted in Is of the conspirators go

Samaritan and carry JOY to that house
hold. Let this be Christmas that ev-
cry body will long remember as one

Few of the law abiding residents of
the town fully realize the character of
IA number of hangers on that are max
ing Oroville their field of operations
just at the present time, and the con-
slant menace they are to life and
property. 1t is dangerous and a
most undesirable element, with the
disposition and the nerve to almost
commit any crime in the decalogue.
They have been preying on laborers
on the ditch construction, but no cit
izen is safe where such men have free
reign. From rolling DRINKS to bur-
glary is not a far cry, and if more Wig
lance is not exercised more serious
crimes may be expected. Many labor
ers have lost money and valuables
since work commenced on the irriga-
ton system that the public knows
nothing about. The bOldest hold up
that was ever committed in any city
or town was staged here Monday
evening, upon well lighted streets,
within a few feet OF crowds. Another
victim was plucked the same evening.
Men who commit such crime as
referred to would never hesitate at
murder, if murder would yield cash
return. Crime seems rampant and
criminals arc carrying Oh their nefar-
iOus game with hig Inland. The
town is inadequately pOliced. A single
officer, no matter how Jealous cannot
be everywhere, nor can he be expected
to be on duty "a houvs in the day. The
town authorities will have to provide
more police. 1t means an extra ex-
pense, but the necessity for an in
creased force is absolute just now,
and will continue to be until after the
first of the year. This paper is not pos
ing as an alarmist, it Is merely stating
fact as to conditions. What has Oc-
Cured here recently in the way of
robbery is evidence that criminals are
in our midst, that they will ply their
trade, and that there is real and not
imaginary danger of more crimes
than those already committed.

TWO TO three inches is the usual depth;
Cultivation.
Cultivation should be shallow ana
frequent Start the wheel hoe just as
soon as the plants are up being care
full not to disturb the roots OF the
young plants Hand wedding OF the
rows is not advisable because the pea
plant will not stand any disturbance
of the roots. When the vines nave
grown to such length as to tangle
the rows cultivation should cease. The
crop will mature without further at
tention Notwithstanding the weeds.
ROgueing.
By rogueing is meant the removal
of all plants that are off type and any
mixture that may have escaped the
sorter. These rogues may be detected
by the differenc in vigor of the vine,
by difference in color of the blossom
and in other ways. The entire field
must be rogued thoroughly, several
times if necessary in order to produce
the best crop of high grade seed that
is pure as to variety and true to type.
Harvesting.
Peas should be cut for seed when
the pods are fully mature and the peas
have become firm On small scale
the vines are usually pulled by hand
and dried for day or two in the sun
spread out on tarpaulin and then
failed out by hand. This does not in
volve as much work as one would
think. The peas can then be cleaned
by winnowing in a good breeze and
afterwards more thoroughly cleaned
| by tanning mill or seed cleaner. A
final grading and sorting by hand pick
ing must be done before the crop be-
comes ready for the seed distributor
No matter how large the crop, hand
picking is the usual method. On a
large scale the vines can be cut with
mower with special attachment to
lift the vines off the ground and the
Ithreshing can be done with an ordin-
AIRY grain separator fitted especially
with blank concaves.
Diseases.
The mildews and pea blight of the
more humid climates are scarcely
known here in the Inland Empire.
The most serious enemy of the pea
is the pea weevil, throughout the south
and the older pea growing regions the
industry has been crippled because
of the prevalence OF pea weevil Theo-
retically, the pea weevil cannot exist
or thrive in a cool night section, such
as the Inland Empire. but while We are
