created a most striking monu-

a more practical if not nobler
purpose in the years to come. At

ALL HUMANITY MUCH ALIKE
Only In Early Life Does the Average
Man Imagine He Is Different
From Others

One Of the great discoveries that
come to US as we advance in life is the
fact that deep down In the human
heart all men are alike. In early life
We think we are different from the
rest of the world, but as years go by
we find that this is not so, that other
men have the same hopes and aspira-
tons, the same troubles and anxieties,
the same y~earnings after happiness
and peace. We learn this from our
friends, from those who tell us their
troubles and ask for sympathy and adj
vice. Then we learn 1t from books;
from the works Of great poets and
writer's, and especially from biogra-
phies and autobiographies.
As a child / was sensitive and shy,
and felt that l was peculiar in this re-
spect, and different from the others,
who always seemed to take themselves
for granted. And yet I have discov-
cred that this is the universal lot of
all men. G. Stanley Hall speaks Of
a newly revealed and grave danger
that works countless tragedies in life
that the child's feelings of inferiority
should become dominant and make him
feel In his earliest years that he is
condemned to a low level Of existence,
without respect, appreciation, admira-
ton or love-" Thus the chronic teaser
or hector may do great mischief to the
tender soul of the child. The child is
always asking himself subconsciously,
do l look worse or better than
others?"
This tendency lasts with most men
all their lives. We are all the time
comparing our lot with that of others.
As Emerson says: "Every ship looks
romantic except the one WI are on :"
and again, Every mans life seems to
him covered with the slime of failure
and defeat, while that of others seems
ideal" 1t is a great help to know that
men are alike in this respect. I could
give a long list of well-known men and
women who suffered from this sense of
inferiority, incapacity and defeat, fol-
lowed by moods of gloom and melan-
choly-men like Tennyson, Ruskin,
Lowell, Symonds, John Stuart Mill

A protest has recently been raised

ground that this plant is a cause Of

be done to encourage its prevalence.
A statement now has been issued by

Solid Heat,

Another of the problems that our
army in France disposed of in a prac-
tical way was the supplying of fuel
for heating and cooking purposes in
the trenches. Solicited alcohol filed
the bill because it was safe, conven-
lent to handle and burned without
Udor. Or smoke. AS a result of the de-
mand, huge factories were built to
produce this novel fuel. Now new
uses must be found for the vast out
put of solicited alcohol.

out heater and various other devices,
has again come to our rescue by in
venting a special kind of portable
stove, ideal for picnics, camping, boat
ing and other outdoor excursions.
The stove is made in the form of a
suitcase of heavy steel and is provid-
ed with a hinged drop which forms
the front of the stove when it is
erected. Folding feet beneath the
stove serve to raise it an inch or so
above the surface on which it may be
placed. The fuel is supplied in the
form of cans, which are placed be

Both Suits and Dresses.

Owing to the proportions of tn,
present demand for women's wear,
the coming fall season promises ia
see suits and dresses bought in equal
amounts. Only a short time ago In
the history Of the dress trade it was
always a question Of a choice between
the two styles Of garments, with rare
ly a time when both were equally
good. Manufacturers of dresses hold
the present demand for quality re-
sponsible in a measure for the field
that exists for both suits and dresses,
and as long as both maintain high
standards they stand the same chance
Of acceptance. This stabilizing OF
conditions has been a decidedly vel.

and it was the kind of laugh one de-

There was a softened note, a tender
touching note to it. For the moment
those people-all types and classes
were represented-forgot the heat of
the city, forgot their business, their

human.
And the reason-a foolish, trifling,
insignificant reason it was, too. Only
a kitten, a tiny, tawny creature meas

nosetip to tail, was slowly, and quite
leisurely picking its way ~diagonally

So small it was that it must leap,

FORGERY PLOT IN
FEDERAL PRISON
Gigantic Swindle. Operated From
Within Walls of Fort
LeavenWorth.
SCORE UNDER ARREST.
S~ubtreasury Checks and Checks on
Private Concerns Printed In Prison
Printing Office - Confession
Reveals Amazing Plot

Chicago.-An amazing story Of for.
gerry and counterfeiting. carried on by
a band of % men in the federal prison
in Fort Leavenworth, was revealed
in this city through the arrest of sew
eral of the participants.
The arrests, which were made after
six weeks work by Peter Drautzberg
and w. G. Harper, assistants to Capt.
Thomas 1. Porter, chief of the Chicago
district of the United States secret
service, turned up the entire conspir-
acy.
The forgery, from which perhaps
100000 has been realized through the
use of many names of prominence, in
volved the printing of 1000 subtreasury
checks, calling for $100 each, as well
as checks on private concerns, such
as the United Fruit company Of New
Orleans. The printing of these was
done in the prison printing office at
Fort Leavenworth.
Also Forged Letterheads.
In order to get paper on which to
print the private checks the prisoners
had to obtain supplies of tNe best bank
paper. So they wrote for samples to
the leading supply houses Of the coun-
try.
On a large number of the phony
checks the name &c. Shelton Williams
was written. These checks passed
more readily than any, it being hastily
assumed by the recipient that it was
drawn at the instance of John Shelton
Williams, high treasury official.
The denouement came through the
arrest of an innocent man, a former
soldier who had been a prisoner, but
who, it developed, had taken no part
fn the swindle. This youth was seized
