HOW HE WORKED.
Forger Young Pushed a Smooth
Scheme With a Vim.
George Jones alias George Youug.
alias F. L. Young waived examination
before Justice Jones on five charges of
forgery and his bond was fixed at $5OO
in each case in default of which he
went to jail.
Young's method of operation was to
till out blank checks for any desired
amount and sign the name of any well
known citizen of San Antonio. He
would then make a purchase and give
a check in lieu of the payment. The
purchase would usually consist of
some bulky article which he would
have delivered to any address he chose
to give. Where he derived ills projit
was in the change lie received from the
merchant for the forged check.
He forged the name of County Clerk
Thad. W. Smith to two checks one
for $5.40 on T. C. Frost & Co.'s bank
dated December 7 payable to F. L.
Young and another on the Alamo Na-
tional bank for $O. dated December 11
payable to George Young. One of these
checks he presented S. B. Leatherby
a grocer of 2202 South Flores street
and another on George R. Karges. a
grocer of 302 Matagorda street. At
Leatherby's he purchased a sack of
flour and ordered it delivered to 320
Lubbock street. This address could
not lie found and the flour was return-
ed. Y’oung had given his check for
$0 saying that he worked at the court-
house. whereupon Mr. leatherby gave
Youug the change to make up the bal-
I ance of the $O deducting the amount
I for the flour. Witen he tried to cash
j the check at the bank he learned that
be had been duped.
The forgeries were all very poor
I ones and could be detected nt a glance
1 by any one acquainted with the origin-
I al signatures.
Other forgeries were. W. H. Sims for
$3 on Frost's bank dated December 7
1 | and passed on T. Heisser. a butcher of
' South Flores street; C. M. Yates for
i I $5.25. on Sullivan's bank and passed
t on V. Gardner of 401 San Pedro ave-
- nue.
Ravaire* of Americanuei.
Hie health of the college woman
leaves something to be desired. But
it is Americanitis rather than the col-
lege education that is to blame. Amer-
icanltis may be defined as the desire
to "get on” regardless of everything
else. It is Americanitis that prompts
the farmer’s daughter to get a college
i education and make opportunities for
herself better than those her mother
and father had before her. Therefore
she goes to a small college in a small
town with a preparatory department
attached where she often begins her
education as a “junior prep." She fur-
nishes a single room in which she and
often a room-mate study sleep eat
make their clothes and sometimes do
their laundrying. She keeps up in her
studies joins a choral class a literary
society and the Y’oung Women's Chris-
tian association; goes to chapel once a
day and twice on Sunday—and very
often falls in love and "gets engaged”
besides. At the beginningof hersenior
year she breaks down. She ought to.
It's the very least she can do out of
respect to herself as a human being.
Belen Watterson Moody in Scribner's.
Men Who Wear Vella.
According to the French traveler M.
Felix Dubois the Tourages (one of the
African races whom he describes in his
book about Timbuctoo) wear veils.
The rearing of horses oxen and goats
is their chief industry the milk and
flesh of these animals with the addi-
tion of dates furnishing their princi-
pal nourishment. For the protection
of eyes and lungs they' adopt a head-
dress of two veils. One the “nikab” is
rolled round the temples hanging
down in front to protect their eyes;
while the other the "litham” reaches
from the nostrils to the edge of their
clothing. The veils are never removed
even at meal times and the garb has
become so much part of them that
any one being deprived of it is un-
recognizable by friends or relatives.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
He Knew Why.
Mrs. Packinham—Don’t try to tell
me Josiah that the men are stronger
minded than the women. Look at the
suicide statistics. A great many more
men than women kill themselves. Isn't
suicide an evidence of weakness?
Mr. Packinham—Yes I admit that
suicide is an evidence of weakness but
there is a very good reason why so
many more men than women should re-
sort to self-destruction.
“I’d like to know what it is?”
“Why you know lots of men get mar-
ried to women.”
Being a good runner he escaned un-
maimed.—Cleveland Leaded.
Where Mosquitoes Are a Blessing;.
In Havana two physicians have hit
upon the happy idea of using mos-
quitoes to inoculate fresh arrivals in
the city against yellow fever. The mos-
quitoes are made first to contaminate
themselves by stinging a diseased per-
son. The inoculation brings on a mild
attack of the fever but when that has
passed away the patient enjoys im-
munity not only from the disease but
what is even more curious from the
bites of the insects that have saved
him.—Boston Globe.
Never Sees a Man.
In a certain small town abroad there
lives a woman hermit who for 20 years
has refused to look upon the face of any
man. A disappointment in. love caused
her to bury herself from the world and
to devote her life and fortune to deeds
of charity. Only a few favored and
loved friends ever see her face. She is
a clever musician and some of her
songs are still sung and admired.—N. Y.

A Kindergarten Surprise.
Teacher—Now children we will have
our verses.
First Small Child (repeating verse) —
“He that hath ears to hear let him

“Very good. Now the next little boy.”

hath a noth to shmeil let him shmell.
Great confusion among the kinders.—

Some Ground.for It.
Mr. Darley—l have been reading an

man from Berlin who told me that he
was a Germ man.—N. Y. World.
Ma’s Advantage
“Want to ride a bicycle do you?"
snapped the old man. “Your mother
never went whizzing about on the
streets on a wheel."
“Yes" retorted the dutiful daughter
“that is just what ma told me. She
says that maybe if she had she would
have caught a better-looking man.”—

A Rush for Indian Slnlden*.
There was a rusk in the matrimonial
■ market over in the Cherokee Strip
| the early part of August. In one day
Rev. Gordon performed the ceremony
' that united three w kite men to as many
1 Indian maids. The cause of all this
rush was the fact that August 15 was
the last date upon which qualification
as a Cherokee citizen could be made
and as each dusky maid of the forest
carried with her a dowry of 160 acres
of territory land squaw men were
made very fast. It has been the cus-
tom for many years for white men
to go into the Indian territory and
marry Indian girls but never was there
such a rusii among young white men
for Indian wives and the accompanying
160 acres of land. To become a lawful
citizen of the Indian territory all mar-
riages had to be made according to
the Cherokee custom. To this none of
the white men objected.— Kansas City
Times.
Women Clerks of *lie Dank of France.
As the result of long and careful ex-
periment the governor of the Bank of
France has now intrusted the. work of
detection of forged bank notes and of
debentures with altered numbers en-
tirely to a special corps of women
clerks. He declares that the keen sen-
sibility of their finger tips enables
them in handling a note to distinguish
the difference however slight between
the forged and the real article. The
means adopted for bringing to light
the falsified numbers on debentures
are rather more elaborate and consist
mainly in the distinction of the differ-
ence in the symmetry of the figures
and the ink used magnifying glasses
being used for the former and chemical
preparations for the latter. —Chicago
Tribune.
Mosquitoes and Flies Fight.
A Camden (Del.) farmer tells a story
of a queer combat between a swarm of
flies and mosquiioes over the possession
of a horse. The animal was grazing in
a meadow when a huge cloud of mos-
quitoes surrounded it. The horse be-
came frantic and rushed around the
field when a swarm of the big flies at-
tacked it. Then the cloud of mosqui-
toes and flics became mixed and the
air was filled with a strange noise but
every moment some mosquitoes or
flies were seen ;o drop to the earth.
The horse was covered with blood the
mosquitoes abandoning their prey to
the flies.—Chicago Tribune.
Not Trusting Her Er.r.
“Moreover" continued the ardent
wooer. “I have just returned froiA Klon-
dike. where I acquired a great quantity
of gold.”
"Would you mind writing that down
on a piece of paper Mr. Quartzcrush-
er?” inquired the fair girl.
“Certainly not but you surely do not
doubt my word!”
“Not at all” said the lovely one as
she carefully examined the words he
had written according to her request;
“but I have been fooled once before by
the sound of ‘g’ resulting from a
catarrhal pronunciation of the word
‘cold.’ ” —Detroit Free Press.
Rocky Road tor the Doctors.
In Beloochistan when the physician
gives a dose he is expected to partake
of a similar one himself as a guarantee
of his good faith. Should the patient
die under his hands the relatives—-
though they rarely exercise it—have the
right of putting him«to death unless
a special agreement has been made
freeing him from all responsibility as
to consequences; while if they should
decide upon immolating him he is fully
expected to yield to his fate like a man.

Hud to Hit Him.
Judge —Why did you assault this

Surgeon—Hurry up! Get the instru-

“Certainly it might; but don’t you
see that he’s unconscious?”—Cleveland
