'Place me under arrest, I am wanted

With this startling remark the

self-confessed forger confronted Cap

tain Hanlon. The captain looked at his

visitor in amazement, thinking that he

was an escaped lunatic. Lee did not stop with these few words, however,

but told a dramatic and pitiful story of

how the, clutches of drink had dragged

him down from a man of position to a

mere tramp.

"Once I had pride, honor and posi

tion," said Lee,, "now I am a fugitive

the curse that caused my downfall. I started the habit by drinking a bottle of beer; then I took two, three, four

Dun's Review, published today by R. Dun & Co., will say: "While aggregate demands upon the

leading industries were barely equal to expqectation, trade as a ' whole sustains rood progress. The volume

of payments through the banks exhibits notable gain and easier discount has widened the use of money. Weather conditions here and throughout the west were seasonal.

"Buying of the ordinary necesarles has been stimulated and general merchandise for future delivery indicates a gratifying absorption. Visiting merchants arrived in larged numbers and the cement exhibition and numerous concventtons brought together many commercial interests. The wholesale markets reflect increasing needs in the spring lines and improving selections Of fall needs. Manufacturing Shown Advance. "Manufacturing maintains a steady advance, production being on - a new high level, and the prospects gather strength from a notable accumulation of forward work in metal, brass, elec

tric, leather, and woodworking branches. The Iron and steel outputs run well above previous records and on a more profitable price basis. "Current transactions indicate more drawing upon the capacity in car building, motive power, fabricated shapes, wire, and farm implements. In rails the bookings were quiet, but there is much business impending with western roads, and furnace product is inquired for by an unusual number of moderate eonumers. Railroad financing develops encouragingly, and more urgent attention is given to plans Involving enormous expenditures for track relaying, equipment, bridge, and

peace negotiations in the near east. Rain and snow has been more widely distributed than for a- long time past, but this, while beneficial to winter sown .cereals, has retarded demand at retail and resulted in a continuance of flood conditions. "In the leading industries there is almost unanimous report of activity. Coal is an execptlon, however. Mild weather helps the building trades and iron and stel lines are also well employed. "Business failures In the United States for the week ending Jan. S3 were 366, which compares with 436 In the like week of 1912. Failure in Canada for the week ending Thursday were 43 in number, contracting with 37 In the like week of 1912."
