SYSTEM OF HIGH FINANCE IS BUSTED

The moot astounding deal in high finance that could be conceived by a ‘•Get Rich Wallingford” has been taking place during the last two weeks in Brook, Goodland and Rensselaer. Young Clarence Rush who lives at Mr. Ayr, evidently concluded that he could outwit the banks or his mind is not functioning properly. Some time ago he went to Brook and drew a check on a Rensselaer bank for >125 and purchased a draft for iL When ,the chock was returned, marked no funds, young Rush was called on the carpet and at once he stated that he could straighten it out. He went to Goodland and at the Trust company drew a check on the Rensselaer bank for the >125, and purchased a draft payable to the Brook Bank and came here and paid off the protested check. It now became the turn of the Trust Bank to take up the running and when the check was returned to them they called up young Rush to make good. He went over confidently and explained that the check had been made on the wrong bank and as Tie needed the money he called up the First National Bank at Rensselaer and holding the conversation with himself reported that they would honor a check for >550. He took up the protested check at Goodland, bought a draft for >3OO payable to the Bank of Brook and paid off another check that he had drawn on the bank in favor of John F. Judy of Judyville. When the >550 check on the First National at Rensselaer was returned to Goodland he was again called to get busy. Nothing daunted him and be went to the Farmers Grain Co., at Mt Ayr, represented himself as having purchased his father-in-law’s farm, crop, tools, etc., and wanted to sell the corn, and would start to hard it that afternoon. He claimed that he; had 2,000 bushels of corn and want-! ed an advance of >6OO. He signed the contract that the corn was his and unencumbered, according to Manager J. -Roe of the Mt. Ayr Farmers Elevator Co. He was given a check for >6OO andwent to the bank once more and got the cash. He then hired an auto and started for Goodland. The fraud was discovered in time for the elevator company to notify* Goodland at the bank that the money had been fraudulently obtained and was theirs. The bank accepted the money and kept it I Meanwhile young Rush returned to ML Ayr. It looked as if his system was working as he had another >SO extra credit on the last transaction. At ML Ayr the Town Manhall apprehended him and the dream was all over. Young Rush has several bad checks to his credit among the Brook business men, given out during the past few weeks.—Benton County Review.

GOOD SENSIBLE TALK.

The world is full of life—rfiril of action. And yet there are thousands who loiter on the great race of life. They, pass along and leave no record of deeds to live after them. No laudable ambition seems to stir their sluggish souls. No soaring aspiration seems to throb in their hearts. They bask in the sunshine, and shun the conflicts where mind grapples with mind, living a brief day, and living in unbroken light. Our young men do not appreciate the privileges of this day. They do not make good use of the advantages which surround them. There are many, it is true, of them who are nobly struggling to do so, but hosts of others seem to have no ambition, no impulse stirs them. The world in its progress brings Ma sources to their very doors, but they have hot sufficient energy of character to reach out and grasp them. We see much to regret in society. The young hearts where lie the hopes of our country, are too ingloriously idle, or frittering away their usefulness and influence. Let a person pass through the country and mingle with the gatherings of our young men, and they will look with sorrow on the frivolous character presented. Why so much ill-breed-ing? Why so much vulgarity and profanity? Why so rude and repulsive a- disregard of all the little courtesies of life? Why is their conversation so grossly coarse?

We miss the heartbum politeness' that should characterize the con-; duct of the true 'gentleman. We even see those claiming gentility and respectability, treating strangers—nay, women—with marked discourtesy and insult And where is the fault? There are some "good old ways” which ought not to be dejpatted from counsels which should hot be forgotten. We deprecate arrogant,/selfish, and rmdtfve^ nmmners, which so generally marie tee character of the young people. There, is no truer mark of a gentleman than courtesy in the treatment of others. Stale slang is no accomplishment—it is a stam, tteflL bred retort degenerates into deiiber*tTh?’young man who thinks he is not a "blood young man’’ till he can show how little he cares for the unpretending, but shining qualities of modesty home simplicity, swagger and sneer a* all these sacred influencea—even at his own mother, and talk boldly about the foolish old woman, .but we would shun him as we would a ruffian.
