Those who have admiration for the
successful crook will view almost with
regret the passing from the scene Of
the notorious ALFONSO J. WHITMAN.
forger. He was to the law what
Raffles was to the police. 1t was a
poor city that did not have its record
Of his crime, his arrest and his es-
cape. We doubt that any other GRIM
inal had such fine score: forty-seven
arrests and only two convictions.
This paragon Of refined thievery
started his maturity under the most
promising circumstances. He had n
college education and a million dol
lars. He lost the money but not the
learning. and he applied his intelll-
gence, which might have won him q
fortune honestly, to the task of get
ting what he wanted BY swindling
banks and business houses. All the
address, the persuasiveness. the cum
ming which he doubtless could have
turned into cumulative business cap
ital was used in single and dangerous
adventures through which he got
something dishonesty for nothing.
What his victims and his tempo
rary captors best remember him for
is not that he got the money, not that
he was usually caught; his real &C.
MUS was in going free. Once he
Jumped from a train, but that was an
exception to the rule, for his method
was to consider the law before COM
hitting the forgery and to find a hole
through which he later could escape.
Well dressed, perfect In department,
and as fluent as he was In the days
when he was in the Minnesota Sen
ate, he went into court as counsellor
to his own counsel. The little tech
nicalities and tricks with which he
had circumvented the law before the
fact of the crime would make an In.
teresting and instructive book for law
yers or scoundrels.
Men who knew WHITMAN In his
youth and who watched his evil prog.
ress used to say that he would have
been worth $4,000 a year 30 a slip
perry corporation, guiding 1t past any
legal scylla and Charybdis. But
WHrrxMAN travelled alone, and it was
down to Gehenna. His two terms in
prison, brief though they were, broke
his health and probably his spirit, and
now we find him back home in Dams
VILE, where he was born sixty years
ago, asking the town authorities to
send him to the poorhouse. The re-
turn of the native!

Propaganda That Tfies to Deceive
Newspaper Readers.

THE SUN has had forced upon it
recently a number Of unsolicited gifts

form OF handsomely printed articles
which we are invited to use in our
columns without price and without
credit. The articles are frankly
propaganda in behalf Of trade union

object to them. The manner In which
1t is suggested that they be used,

YOUR HAIR
Invention of an Expert
Chemist

You probably have tried all sorts
of remedies on your scalp without
getting the desired results, until you
have become discouraged and lost
confidence in all hair remedies. Thou
sands of others. like yourself, finally
turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and
have been so pleased with the re-
suit, they would never again waste
their time or money using anything
else.
Quinade is not an ordinary POM
ade II is highly medicated and is
real scalp food. Quinade stimu-
lates and nourishes the roots of the
hair, causing natural growth of
long, straight hair. 1t will make
coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky.
and easy to put up in the style de-
sired. Quinade will positively allay
itching of the scalp; and dandruff,
which is the real cause of most hair
and scalp troubles.
TO get best results from the use
of Quinade, one should shampoo the
scalp every two weeks with Seeby's
Quinasoap, a soap made entirely of
pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lath-
ers very freely and is a thorough
cleanser. 1t leaves the hair soft and
fluffy and imparts refreshing feel
ing to the scalp unequaled by any
other shampoo.
Insist on getting seeby's Quinade
and Quinasoap, asking for them by
their full name. Price is rs cents
each. If your druggist or dealer does
mt stuck thnsa two articlas ask
him to obtain them from his whole
saler for you, or send us the price
and we will mail them to you direct
