Here who secured without a woman apparent difficulty between $1,000,000 | and $2,000,000 from bankers and other business men without having any real security to offer. The mystery is deepened, rather than explained, by the statement of Mr. Reynolds, representing the bank that is one of the chief sufferers. Mr. Reynolds says that he helieved Mrs. Chadwick to be the natural lauguter of Andrew Carnegie. . He accepted this story, as he accepted alleged notes signed by’ Andrew Car. negie, as suilicent evidence. He says now that he made no farther inquiries in the matter because he deemed it hiis duty to protect the story of her birth. With equal ease she made raids upon the strong boxes of other individuals and institutions, and sed obligations that in the total alunost unbelievable. The conceive the success of such a ruse as this. Suppose any man or woman were to cousult a bank officer in St. Paul with a view to the acceptance of security as collateral for a. loan, Lhese securities being signed by some well known millionaire. Would any cock and bull story like that of Mrs. Chadwick avail? Would any man give up the money until he had in- vestigated the genuineness of the ‘The whole story carries more ied” finance than any of the tales that Mr, Lawson has to tell. We do know that incidents of this | kind happen from time to time, that swiudling operavions are-carried out successfully upon the grandest scale, and that the diselosure fails to reveal why they should have. been success: ful. Search for an explanation falls back upon the ancient hypothesis that there must be some occult infhuence akin to hypnetism by which these swindlers east a spell upom the minds of men and temporarily destroy the judgment. There-seets to be absolu- tely no middle ground between th supposition and that of downright! partnership in fraud. We think that any banker or business man could be challenged safely to produce any otner possible explanation of the history of this most extraordinary Chadwick case and other like it.-St. Paul Globe. rFROCEEDINGS OF Village Council of Village Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

The eggs which escape the vender of bait will turn to larvae, which at the end of three years’ pro- bation will themselves tread a meas- ure in the air and die at the end of sixty minutes of true existence.” HER MONEY ALWAYS NEW. os: | German Woman Used Hot Iron With Good Effect. | One of the tellers of a prominent | savings bank was discussing some | peculiarities of his business. “We | get money over the counter in every imaginable condition,” he remarked. “Most of the time notes are handed to us in a dirty, crumpled state that makes difficult handling, but there is one depositor who always brings bills in an immaculate condition. This ‘s an old German woman. The bank notes she hands in are as crisp as if | they had just left the treasury. It used to puzzle me to account for the | 4 crispness of the old notes she brought along—nrotes that by appearance had been in use long enough to make them as limp as rags. So one day I remarked about it, and found, to my surprise, that the old lady carefully ironed all her bank notes. She ex- plained that she liked to have new money, and pressing with a hot iron made all the old bilis like new. 1 thought her fad somewhat fociish at rst, but later it occurred to me thet it would be a geod thing if people everywhere ironed their bark notes.

A little over ninety two years ago the guns at Salamanca in Spain were roaring, not to be stilled until the road was clear for Wellington to march to Madrid. The “iron duke” was very busy completing arrangements for the impending battle and had not thought about breakfast. His dutiful staff had | denied themselves in order to keep him company. At last they got some {| thing spread $n the ground behind a farmyard wall. Wellington rode in and they tucked the leg of a chicken into one of his fists and a chunk of bread into another. He munched as | he sat in the saddle. Suddenly he set spurs to his horse, calzed on them to follow, threw his leg of chicken over | his shoulder and galloped as if for dear life. He had sighted the French at a gap in the hills. Chinese Bank in New York, There are a number of prosperous Chinese bankers in different cities in the United States, but they have al- ways located in the Chinese colonies. Within a month sevegal of these Mon- golian financiers have commenced to spread out in several sections of the | New York financial district. Now one of them has opened up a banking es- tablishment in Wall street itself. A few days ago a brass sign covered with hieroglyphics was hung up at 1 Wall street. It is the first sign of a Chinese banking firm to appear ~ Wall street. Big Mirror. The hotel Savoy in New York plumes itself upon the possession of \ the largest mirror. in the world.
