From MamarOneck
to Hackensack
By Marcus Strong.

If ever by chance or intent you
find yourself within the corporate
limits of Hackensack, see Siegel. You
will find him on Main Street
"Henri's Shop"-a little one-man
,haberdashery.
Henry Siegel, with his kindly smile
and gentle voice, is one of the best
living object lessons for the unduly
ambitious. If you are fed up on
magazine success stories, where the
poor and obscure invariably become
rich and famous, you will find Sc
gels life an interesting variation
from the usual balloon ascension
bunkum of current literature
Search your memory and you may
recall Henry Siegel of years gone
merchant prince, head of Siegel-
Cooper Company. The big store was
located at Fourteenth Street, New
York City, when lower Sixth Avenue
was shopping center. This Henry
Siegel had private mansion at Mo
maroneck which cost half million
dollars, with great stIbie of finest
blooded horses.
In connection with the big store,
Slegel conducted an extensive DanK-
ing business. The bank became in
volved To raise funds Siegel offer
ed his entire stock at a sacrifice
sale. The final crash came. For
having infringed some New York
banking law, Siegel received a Jail
sentence. But mark this-every
creditor was paid in full!
Oh, yes, the two Henry Siegels are
-one and the same-yet not the same.
Henry the haberdasher, is older, and
wiser, and more tolerant. He is not
melancholy or embittered. On the
whole, if one may judge from faces,
he is happier and more contented
man today than when the great
Fourteenth Street enterprise was
resting on his shoulders.
It is a safe conjecture, that there
are any number of weary and harass-
ed success" who would, if they dar-
ed, gladly slip from under their gall
ing yoke of riches and responsibility
es, and return to life of simple and
peaceful obscurity.
Henry Siegel has been up and is
now down. Ask him if life loses any
thing when viewed from the lower
level.-The Paper Book.

In the Days of 1927

The celebration of Christmas at old
Fort Smelling and Mendoza back in
S27-ninety-seven years agO-was q
noisy, genial, and even exuberant af.
fair. This is disclosed by faded
entry for Tuesday, Dec. rs, 1927" in
the manuscript diary of Lawrence
Taliaferro, the famous Indian agent
a document now in the possession OF
the Minnesota Historical society.
Christmas in camp started early, fol
Taliaferro records "Serenade this
morning at 3 o'clock by the Musicians
from Fort Smelling After this aus
picious beginning matters were quiet
until daybreak, when SO Rounds ~
the French inhabitants of the Post
with the usual compliments of the
Season" occurred.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the Christmas festivities was
the participation of the Indians, who
seem almost to have overwhelmed the
agent by the ardor of their greetings.
Writes Taliaferro: indians both Men
& Women called at II o'clock this day
in considerable numbers to See &
Shake hands & express the feelings

taken up within the last Eight years
from the Whites-the feelings of their

The Taliaferro Journal is one of the
most important historical documents
in possession of the historical society,
for it contains wealth of informa-
ton concerning Indian administration
and life on the frontier in the TWEEN
ties and thirties. The writer served
as Indian agent at St. Peters latter

Dwarf To Join Circus

Henry, the eighteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Bedow, of this
community will leave the first of
January to join the Robinson Bros.
circus at Kansas City with which or
ganization he will travel as one of
the worlds smallest men. Henry is
eighteen years old, but he is only
forty-four inches high. Otherwise he
is perfectly normal. His physical
features are all normal and he is
bright beyond his years mentally.
His lack of stature, however, makes
him a valuable attraction for circus.
a fact which Robinson Bros, quickly
recognized when they visited this
city last june They contracted with
him at that time to go on the road
with them next season, so he goes to
fulfill his contract the first of the
year. In addition to being well paid

The Check
FOrger's Wiles
Police Magazine,

Study of the claims made upon the
forgery bond departments of the vari-
Gus surety companies would lead one
to think that fiction writer COM
piled them. Many are incredible.
For example:
A crook walked into New York
bank recently, pulled check from
his wallet, filled it out, and then be-
gan to wave it as if to dry it. One
of the bank guards came up to him
and asked:
"Do you wish to cash a check, Mr..
= Mr."
weston is my name," said the
crook, "Mr. James R. Weston, of num-
Der Blank Broadway. l was just
wondering which line would get me
the quickest service"
"Why, that one, to be sure" said
the guard, where there were but three
men.
"Oh, thank you," smiled the crook
as he continued to wave his check.
When the three men had finished
at the paying teller's wicket the GU
ard and the crook stepped to the win
dow, the guard saying:
''Please cash this check for Mr.
Weston"
The teller looked at the check and
then at the man. He didn't remem-
Der the latter's face or his account,
but he cashed the check because, as
he afterwards explained:
81 assumed the man was all right
because the guard seemed to know
him."
The stranger did not, of course
have an account in the bank and
neither did any one by the name of
James R. Weston
And in the same vein is another
interesting case.
A man walked into Boston bank
and asked for the pass book of John
R. So-and-So.
The youth in charge of bank hand
ed it out. The crook saw that Mr..
So-and-So had balance of $2,7OO, so
he obtained blank check, wrote it
out. to cash for $4,000, forged the
signature and handed it to the teller.
81 am sorry, Mr.. So-and-So, but l
don't seem to remember you," said
the teller. Haven't you something
to identify you?"
"Here is my pass book" said the
crook, land here are few Cancelled
checks" And he handed both to the
teller, who quickly handed them back
you see we have to be very care
full" explained the man at the win
dow as he handed out $4,000.
All of which teaches the lesson that
banks should be careful to give bank
books to their rightful owners.
A forger was arrested in Chicago
recently who made his living by rails
ing checks of well-known firms. When
arrested he was asked how he sue
ceeded in getting possession of checks.
Simplest thing in the world" he
explained. Zone method was to go
to some prominent store, make a
purchase of two articles, and then
later return one by mail with letter
asking that check be sent me for
the amount due me. In all my ex-
periences l never failed to get a
check. frequently answered the adj
vertisements of substantial companies
and carefully made an error of two
or three dollars in the remittance.
Invariably, without my asking, check
came back for the difference. Although
these checks We're written on safety
paper and with a check-wriitng ma
chine / never had any difficulty in
raising them. Because they were the
checks of well-known firms / had no
trouble in cashing them"
This man was asked what he
thought was the value of safety paper
and figure perforating machines.

mo business should be without
both,' he said. "They won't stop the
experienced crook, but they will stop
the inexperienced ones and those
criminally inclined. But then there
is this to think about. Much has
been printed about safety paper
checks which are said to be absolute
ly forgery proof. l doubt very much
whether a check ever was invented
that was absolutely forgery proof.
Crooks know that if they can raise a
safety paper check their chances of
cashing it are very good because the
man receiving it thinks the check
can't be bad and so he cashes it."

The Educated Man

Henry Ward Beecher: Education is
the knowledge of how to use the
whole Of oneself. Men are often like
knives with many blades; they know
how to open one and only one; all the
rest are buried in the handle, and
they are no better than they would
have been if they had been made with
but one blade. Many men use but
one or two faculties out of the score
with which they are endowed. A
man is educated who knows how to
make tool out of every faculty
how to open it, how to keep it sharp,
and how to apply it to all practical
purposes.

that they were millionaires and held
a mortgage on the universe.
The Making of Big Men-The at
tention to little things and the doing
of the small things in business is the
mark of a really big man. The fell
low who thinks those things are be-

Tightwads There are all kinds of
tight wads in this world Some are

CHICAGO, October 81. Wheat
values showed considerable weakness
today during the early dealings, Liv-
erpool quotations being much lower
and Argentine forecasts pointing to
beneficial rains. On the downturns
in price here, however, houses with
seaboard connections took to the
buying side and helped to bring about
rallies. One house purchased more
than a million bushels in a few min
utes. Opening quotations, which
ranged from Is to 1s lower, with
December 140% to 1.41 and May
1.45h to 146H, were followed by
slight further declines and then by
recovery to above yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats were bearishly affect
ed by fine weather and by lack of
support on declines. After opening
at "a to 2a lower, December 1.0Sk Y
to 1.o47s, the corn market sagged
further and then recovered most of
the loss.
oats started 1s to n off, December

Local rates on some stocks always

APPLE EXPORTS HEAVY.
Increase Reported Over Same Ship
ments Last Year.

American shippers have been TAX
ing advantage of the foreign demand
for apples. Reports of the Interna-
tional Apple Shippers Association
this season to October Is show a to-
tai of o32,s11 barrels and 1,128,990
boxes forwarded from United States
and Canadian ports. Compared with
last year to the corresponding date,
this is an increase of 3 per cent for
barrels and nearly 80 per cent gain
for boxed stock.
In the leading British markets, best
Eastern varieties and grades were
selling from so cents to 81 per barrel
higher than year ago. but the pro-
portionate increase for Western boxed
apples was not so great. After re-
cent declines the British quotations
show no special net premium over
domestic prices, ana this may tend
gradually to decrease the export
movement.
