Carlisle Reopens With New Students.
Carlisle reopened on Tuesday, Jan
uary 9Th, after having been closed
down for little over two weeks for
Christmas holiday. By Tuesday
morning Carlisle, which looked rath-
er lonesome a few days before, was
alive with cadets and the hum of
school life had recommended. The
cadets began to arrive on Sunday
night, and continued to come in
through Tuesday. They seem to have
enjoyed their vacation, and we hope
they will be the more ready to do
their best work from now on until the
close of the year.
A number of new students were en-
rolled after the holiday vacation.

BIG FRAUD WORKED.
Crook Posing as Citizen of Bamberg,
Gets Money in Many Cities.

For the past several weeks some
smooth criminal work has been oper-
ated in a number Of Southern cities
with the aid of the name of one of
Bamberg's leading business men,
who is now endeavoring TO apprehend
the crook and have him dealt with.
A number of drafts have been cash
ed in various places drawn on the
Bamberg Banking company against
the account of Mr.. G.. Frank Bam-
berg, some of them signed in the
name of F. M. Bamberg, but nearly
all Of them signed G. Frank Bam-
berg, Jr. Most of them ranged in
amount from SIS to $50, and the to-
tai amount of these forgeries thus
far received in the local bank drawn
on Mr.. Bamberg is approximately
$3.50 with more coming in each day.
Of course they are not being paid at
this end and either the endorsers or
the parties cashing them are the los
ers. Nevertheless, it is annoying to
Mr.. Bamberg to know that some one
about the country is posing as his son
and in this way defrauding people
with the use of his name, and he has
accordingly wired the police depart
ments of several cities to be on the
lookout for this accomplished GRIM
inal.
So far no arrests have been made,
although a certain young man from
this section of South Carolina is sus-
picioned on his past reputation and
some other circumstances involved.
Whoever it is began his work against
Mr.. Bamberg by drawing draft in
he then jumped to States
boro, Ca, for his next one, and has
also sent them in from Macon, Sa-
vannah, Birmingham and other
points. 1t is known that he is stop
ping at the best hotels wherever he
goes, and it seems that he is travelling
and living in elegant style.
One of his latest ruses heard from
was carried out in New Orleans by
which he fleeced a former Bamberg
citizen, Mr.. S. G. Mayfeld, out of
800. In this instance he represent
ed himself as Mr.. G. Frank Bam-
berg himself. He wired Mr.. May
field in Holbrook, Ariz., that he was
at the st. Charles hotel, New Or
leans, and was in need Of some mon
ey, further requesting that he wire
him Sta there. Mr.. Mayfield, not
suspecting anything crooked, at once
" ired G.. Frank Bamberg, st. Charles
hotel, New Orleans, 500, feeling
that possibly he might need little
more than he asked for, which idea
was doubtless appreciated by the
would-be Mr.. Bamberg. Mr.. May
field in some manner soon learned
that it was a fraud and telegraphed
Mr.. Bamberg a long message about
it, so that since then efforts to catch
this human eel have been made from
both directions.
He is working fast and it is difficult
to keep a line on him, but the dates
and places from which the drafts, etc.,
come indicate that he ha sheen con-
stantly proceeding West. He is. ev-
identity experienced at the game and
his work is skillful and Of a high
order, but such operations cannot
continue forever, regardless of how
smooth, and it is believed this ex-
pert will soon be captured.

BERGER AGAIN DENIED .
PLACE IN CONGRESS
Claim of Milwaukee Socialist Rejected for Second Tme
Vote of House Members Being Two Hundred
and Twenty eight to Six-Gets
Support From Manu.

Washington, Jan. 10.-VictoP Ber-
ger, Milwaukee socialist, reelected
from the Fifth Wisconsin congress-
ional district, after he had been re-
fused membership in the house, "be-
cause he gave aid and comfort to the
enemy was denied his seat again
today by vote of 22S to 6.
The house acted in little more
than, an hour after Berger had pre-
sented himself to be sworn in. Chair
man Dallinger of the elections COM
mittee, which held Berger ineligible
the first time, presented resolution
barring Berger and reviewed the
reasons why Berger was excluded at
the special session. Representative
Mann, Republican, of Illinois, Voigt,
Republican, of Wisconsin, and Sher-
wood, Democrat, of Ohio, spoke in
support of Berger's right to seat.
"This is a representative form of
government, Mr. Mann said, "and
this we must maintain inviolate if
the people desire it.. Berger was
elected by the people of Wisconsin.
They have right to be represented:
: Request for hearing on Henry H.
Bodenstad's right to the seat denied
Berger has been made before Chair
man Dallinger. Bondenstad, a Re-
publican, was defeated by Berger by
q majority of 4,S06 votes in the spe-
cial election. The committee pre-
viously held Joseph P. Carey, Ber-
gers opponent in the first election,
to be ineligible. Chairman Dallinger
said today that at the time of his
first election Berger was only under
Indictment under the espionage act,
but that he had been convicted before
the second election. This, he added,
would strengthen Bodenstad's case.
Those voting to seat Berger were:
Mann, Harreld, Republican, of Okla
homa, Griffin, Democrat, of New
York, Sherwood, Democrat, of Ohio,
and Sisson, Democrat, Of Mississippi.
Representative SABBATH, Republican,
of Illinois, voted present.
Berger declared in a statement
after the vote that the house action
was zone of the worst attacks onithe
representative form of government
ever witnessed in this country"
'.It is really a denial of the right
Of people to elect the citizen of their
choice" he said. \
Speaking to his resolution, Chair
man Dallanger said Berger was ex-
cluded the first time mot because of
his so-called radical views, not be-
cause he is ineligible to membership
under provisions of the constitution. !"
sThis will disqua1ify him perma-
nently," he declared. "The people
of Wisconsin may ,reelect him, and
there are some who contend that if
the people want him in congress he is
entitled to a seat, but man excluded
as Berger has been can never be elig-
ible membership"
Representative Voigt, who was the
only member to vote to seat Berger
the first time, spoke in favor of seat
ing him today.
81 am more firmly convinced than
ever" he said, "that Berger is en-
titled to a seat. If he is traitor,
then there are $4,000 traitors in the
Fifth Wisconsin district.
"'There are," a score of members
shouted.
''Then there are traitors in your
district" Voigt retorted.
''Not at ALL" came from various
members.

At one Of the boarding houses Of

The head-cheese was purchased
from farmer living near the city
and was apparently all right but near
ly all who partook Of it developed
alarming symptoms of ptomaine pois-

tients died, and the most Of them were
out the next day. Physicians who at
tended those who had partaken of
the head-cheese were Of the opinion
that the symptoms were those Of
ptomaine poisoning.
Several Of the patients have sworn

TOBACCO.

Cuba is the dimple in the face of
the southern ocean, about which play
the smile Of sun and laughter Of the
sea.
Her tobacco fields are looms where
the shadow shuttles of the clouds
weave into the warp of serried rows
the woof Of dream and mystery and
spin the silken patterns Of Reflec-
tion's wondrous tapestries.
In her tobacco leaves are stored the
poppy's subtle charms.
Amid their fine traced veins q zenie
lives who, summoned by the touch
of fire, builds with easy necromancy
the palaces of dream, down whose
halls you see the forms of long ago,
and in whose salons memory's fingers
touch the strings of unseen harps and
fill the air with music strangely sweet.
And it brings calm judgement to the
physician matching his skill against
the threat Of the mournful messenger.
These leaves! They hold a reper-
toire of dreams. Dreams wherein
you hear the plash of fountains and
the sound of children's voices and
catch the beat of passing wings.
Dreams that never leave, or will or
can come true, but dreams where
the tired man finds rest.-HOpe

PEANUT BUTTER A GOOD FOOD

Peanut butter, many people think,

Food experts have known for a long
time that ueanuts were rich in protein
and fat, two things that the body
needs. Within the last few years
these scientists have also learned that
there are many kinds Of protein and
that only those which supply every
thing needed to make body portein
can be called perfect or complete.
These complete proteins are found in

Brownsville, Texas, March H. Those critics who are the Hast word' in judging baseball players, big lea que or sand lot, had the St. Louis Nationals "sized up" within 30 min. lutes after their arrival here for the spring training season.
 Most of the "critics" should have been in school when the train bear ing the Cardinals pulled in, but "absent" was written opposite many names in the Brownsville public schools that day.
 And the transfer man who hauled effects from the railroad station to their hotel didn't need the several helpers he brought with him. There were at least two boys to every hand bag and if it had double grips, four youths encircled it.
 The parade to the hotel gained more youthful recruits, and by the time afternoon practice was over the boys had learned the name of every player and knew each one by sight.
 "That big guys Clemons, the catch er,' one voice piped. And that other fellows Hornsby, the, bird Hickey wouldn't sell for s130.000--or some thing" another yelled.
 And so, one by one, the Cardinals heard their names spoken with the awe of admiring youth, as they were placed in their niches in youths imaginative "Hall of Enviable Fame"
