I Khow.- 'tjl;g\ffi"l qid not ‘deserve all that 1got; but ‘@ great many people-thought I was not abused half efiough. P veas Jut to work upon.the case ‘the .day .the robbery was discovered, ‘which as’on a Monddy morning. A tery-singular ‘state: of ‘things was fornd ‘at the bamk when. Caghier Bell «thiewy open:the doors of the vaults to ‘begin the. day’s busineds. . All the ‘elerks Were présént at their desks, as ’:i.,t;,e;:_bbol{,,si_:\\‘e'm ‘kept in another safe, which was in chargé of the head book-fi;‘,ée;péi’-’;U’l’héjcz‘,l‘sh-ie\r entered the vault ‘to” take- out :soyne bills to put in the .di"a'\_?&’éx‘j"xiiflgu\ his ‘desk.. A moment later he staggered outand fell into a chair. ‘He was.not able to speak for a moJment: The _(_;lefrlg{it-i_ gathered :zroq’nd ‘him, thinking. h¥ ! had ‘an attack of hedrt ‘failure, “to which ‘he was sub-ject.”-He anhounced, when he got con‘trol’ of himself, ‘that there was no -money in.the vault! but he-did not say -that there had been & robbery. - L “ARter -a’ short.: consultation, the ‘bankfwas . clesed’ for .the day, and ew;r‘:{thmg 'fiw_as‘\ just as it had been fourid :When I got there.- I made a ‘careful examination of all the windows dand ‘doors: There was no sign that ‘thieveés had forced an 'éngrar}ce.‘ The vault; aecording, to the statement of Cashier ‘Bell and all the clerks, was locked “when’ they reached the bank. The paipt on the doors had not even ‘4 slight scratch to show that they had Been tampered with. The deeper I ‘went into- the affair the more mysteri‘ous" it -became, I made up my mind \t,hai't‘,?’éi)m.e'onp ‘had robbed ‘the bank ‘who ‘was perfectly familiar with the gale and the methods of doing busiG | ~“I had a.private consultation with ‘the president and directors, and got from .them' the history of every man who worked in the bank. go far as they ‘knew . it. »Every employe had a gilt‘edged reputation, was proiminents.

opened. This loo‘ked,liké‘; promising lead, so.I pushed my inquiries in that direction. I learned when the cashier had opened the safe on Monday morning that .the other clerk was not pres:, ent. It was evident then that the cashier” had both' keys. The president avould not beliéve me when I told him of the state of affairs. It was a strict file of the bank that the keys' held by each man should mnot be surrendered to @ny one except by order of the president. o . . “I then centered my attention on Casbier Bell and began ‘to weave the net ‘cieser and closer about him.. 1 learned . that Bell Ea‘d' requested “the clerk to give him the. keys about a week before the robbery. The clerk was going to attend a ball, and the cashier hiad told him to let him have the keys, so he leed not report as early as usual.at the bank. The clerk gave up the keys. The cashier did nof return them, although the clerk askeds for them. Then I lefrned that Bell had been {speculating through a broker.in \\'a;l'l street, and,-as near as 1 could get at it: had lost about $B,OOO in a year, which was news to the bank officials. : . Sl e

| '“l.found out that "ihg cashier had E.hefl'd several iim,erviéWS with strangers, -and -another startling fact-—that on' the ‘night of the robbery Mrs. Bell hadawakened and found that her husband Iwas not in bed. She ‘did not know %wgore’ he wasg, and had not thought of asking him. There were several other isuspici(ius,dirc‘umstances against Bell 1 -becam® convinced that if he did not commnit the robbery himsel}, he must certainly hav,\e- had some kndwledge of ‘it., i . G Seit g Ao o . “There were also many _facts in ‘Bell’s' favor; but the. 'ban;k - direc: ‘tors became convinced, after!carefully weighing all-the evidence, that he was guilty, and he wag arrested.. I never saw a man who took his arrest so hard, and justly se, as it afterward turned out. ‘He had a_hearing,.and ¢0 strong’a case WLS mad_e'nué against him that he wag h‘)e\d for trigl. - “Shm‘tfy after this:there was a fire Yn :the house of a Mrs: Libby:-Larsen. Being & bit of a fire filend, I went to see the country boys work. They did such. good work -that they saved the house. 1 went into the place, afid in a closet on the second floor I picked up a.piece of wax. It would not have ‘been noticed by any one not familiar with the methods of thieves, but I saw at'a glance that: tt 'had been used to make an -Impressi'oxi' of two keys. I slipped it into my pocket’and made a careful examination of it:in my room. The impression showed that the keys were of intricate eonstruction, and the thought flashed across my mind that ‘they were Very simnag ‘to the keys of the; vault in the bank. I obtained-the keys without telling any one my business, and found- hat they flited per .fectly. This was new light on the mystery. It seemed to be convincing 'proof that Bell had accomplices—-prob-ably the strarigers he had miet. - “Tcould' not understand; however, how it was -that a ‘wax Impression had been made of the keys.which Bell had in his possession. Whyigo to all this trouble when the keys themselves could be ufed at any time? . “I took a peep at Mrs. Larsen without her knowing it. I tell you I gave a fump. when T recognized her as Anv nle .Skidmore, the wife of Bill Skig. more, a well known bank sneak. At last I” began to see daylight. Annie was,stopping at the house of a'neighbor, after Dbeing burned out, and I learned that she had recelved $lOO by felegrdph from New York the day of the fire. The wording of the telegram did net throw any light on the case. “To my surprise and delight, Annle, ‘the following day. after I récognized her; left Kingston, and went to Albany. She showed her cunning in doing this, as the same night she took the train for New; York. I knew from this. secretive m@vement that Annie had something important that she was trying -to hide. I could tell by her easy: movements that she thought. she was safe. T telegraphed for a couple of detectives to meet me at the depot, as I could not tell what wouid turn up.

| “Tt was lucky that I ala so, for irv Ethe depot; walting for Annie, were . | Wily Mitcheil and Bill Noble, two of | the brightest crooks|in the land. They ‘ spoke. with her a mo%xent. “T knew that | they were making ©an. appointment*l ‘from .the movement of her head. I | sent the two men after Wily and Bill, Eand 1. went after -Anni‘e.‘ She went to_} | aiprivate house in' Fourteenth street,- | remained there two hours, and then, ‘went ot with a gray wig as a dis-« | guise. . | yoo s 0 b | “She wagwell known in this city. I | surmised that she was going to meet \ fher-partners, and was convinced of it | “when she reached the corner of [Greene street and” Clinton place. ' T | saw my -partners taking a pipe on a 'house in Clinton place, and I quietly | arrested Annie. T locked her up in the | Mercer street station, went back to. ' my, partners, and arrested Bill and | Wily when. they appeared on the | street.” They gave us the laugh, but 'that night I gave Annia the third de- | gree. She finally broke down and told 'all about the robbery and the part ' Wily and. Bill-had played int. . . | . “They still pretended their - inno{cence until T produced the wax im!presslon of the keys. Then they were Jready to “confess, and gave up the { gtolen property to lighten their sen;.t\énce I recovered all the money €x- | cept: $30,000, and.sent my humble apol--I‘&s?,}’ to Cashier Béll. o

Fall 4s a season of the year when too many farm flocks are. neglected. Often the sheep are left to take care ‘of themselves, grazing in a back pasture on short, dried up grass and with warm stagnant watef to drink. .Experienced sheepmen have found such treatment.to be unprofitable. BreedIng ewes‘that are.good mothers, heavy wilkers and have raised one or stwo lambs must have a period, of rest aftér weaning their jambs, if expecte(fi to ‘uphold 'their vitality, thrift 'and proAduce a crop of strong lambs the| following season.. : ; . The lambs should be weaned by the middle of August if they wére born in _Mai@" or April, as is the cgse in most farm¥flocks. Naturally the ewes will be in’rather thin.condition after suckling their lambs all summer, but care must be taken not to feed -them too nutritious and stimulating feeds at this time on account of the‘danger of the heavier irfll}(ing‘ ewes getting spoiled udders: If the udders of these ewes seem to become = congested, proper measures should be taken to prevent them from spolling.” Drying up may be induced by partially milk: ing out the udders a few times at two or three day intervals.' Two. or three milkjngs at most will' usually suffice. ." . Culling the Ewes. The flock qQught to be closely culled before breeding begins - in .. the fall. Those ewes that have-.not proved to be good producers and do not furnish enough milk to raise at ledast one good ‘lamb should be culled out. Others that have broken; mouths or whose uddetrs have become spoiled ‘in any _ way should be sold to the butcher as soon

) Keep Chickens Growing. Now that the chicks hdve all -been hatched and a good start made in their .growth, see to it that they have ‘every advantage possible to contihue their growing. - By all ‘means, if they ars intended for laying or breeding stock, give thtm as much free range as possible, for this is the leading element in securing rapid and strong dewelopment in, raising chickens. You ‘may not be situated so as to give them mich of a run, but do the best you can, for it means much in building them up for husiness. e . . - Hens for Market. Hens that cease, laying ‘that are intended for market need not be sold at a loss. Just before selling confine for ten days or two weeks, and give them all they will eat of a mash composed of equal parts of bran, middlings and cracked, -corn. Keep - ground beef scraps and grit before them, all the time. Don’t confine in coops, but put a number together in a small yard ‘They will, if fattened up “in good s_hape, not only weigh a pound ot more, heavier thaa they otherwise

as they can be brought dinto good enough. condition. At this time the owner should ‘be well enough acquainted with the performance and record of the various ewes to know which ones to dispose of and which ones to retain. Later, the lambs may be culled. Of course the best ewe lambs should be reserved for the further improvement of the flock and the inferior ones sorted out ‘to be sold, with the wethers. Uniformity in type and size should be observed at this time, 'as well as vitality, thrift, capacity and a good fleece. s , . “Flushing.” ' The term “flushing” is applied to having the ewes rap‘ifldl'y'gaining in flesh at the time the rany is turned with them fer mating. This is a practice ‘now in favor and is extensively used by.the leading breeders in America and Great Britain. ‘lt is not only intended to encourage the'ewe to take the.fam early, but to bring the whole flock to. wean as near one time and as uniformly -as possible. - Then, toq, it has been found that whenever ewes and rams are mated that are both in a strong, vigorous condition ‘a higher percentage of twins may be expected. Rapé will probably flush the flock befter and mgore cheaply than any. other known: feed. However; if this is not available an aftermath of clover is good, and some sort of grain, especially oats, will prove highly satisfactory, though expensive. Cabbage is also recognized as a sheep feed that will ‘accomplish the same results. Lt Kill tfe Weeds. . ‘Mow the weeds along the roadside.

' This Mixture Kills Them. ° The season is at hand ‘when the red spider louse is liable to take possessgion of your poultry houses, saysthe Poultry Journal. A good lice killer can be made as follows: One galon kerosene, three pounds tallow, two ounces creolin; putythe three in a vessel and place in a dish of hot water and they will all unite. Paint or spray once a week the parts of the house where the lice are or are liable to be, and your poultry houses will be free from lice. -

» Poultry Industry. Probably many will be surprised to learn that the poultry industry is the second largest In-the United States; Seing exceeded only ‘by dairying, and that more than ’5300,000,000 is spent annually for poultry and eggs. . ol ' Summer-hatched chicks are a risk when allowed to run with the older ones, as they rc¢h them)j their feed.

. THE NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW. . As shows and expositions are supposed to emphasize progress, to bring out by comparison new and better methods-.of operation, and as this is an era of close margin in business, the best minds of .the country-are constantly engaged in evolving;low_éost of production; and marketing methods. It is reasonable to expect that an‘industry involving a billion of dollars annually, as' does the dairy, industry in America, must have the best brains of the day working out improvement in the vast problems.that are attached to fts many branches. That this stupendous industry might recdive its proper recognition among t!# lworld's activitles, a few patriotic men organized this association for the purpose of holding an annual dairy show that would be a short course in dairy husbandry unequaled anywhere:else, mapping out a iine of work to produce an educational event that would supplement the work of our agricultural colleges, whiQh was much to be desired in the dalry world, and each recurring show taking advantage of dxpXience gained -in 'the previous showy h mproved until it is today solnewhe near what its founders intend it shall be. | _ ) Twelve hundred to fourteen hundred head of the best breeds of dairy cattle are promised for exhibition this year, belng judged ,by competent trained experts on type and performance, with all records 'of petformance and’ cost of- production avalileble, with what is ‘best in the arts of breeding and feeding .developed .by _masters' in the Industry placed at the #isposal of the visitor, and with the nighest achlevement of the genius. ot man on lines of caring for and marketing dairy products befere! you, the 1?12 show premises to surpass all its predecessors, and: it would indeed be a laggard who would not justify time -and expense of attendance upon this great show. Within its portals the old-timer can gain miost useful knowiedge for his dally, farm activities, and a beginner can equip himself with the groundwork for embarking upon a successful dairy enterprise. . The handful of men who'commenced ths show have been supplemented by several hundred others from all over the

i country who from contact were con- | vinced of the integrity of purpose of its founders -and desh‘ed, to become {dentified with “the work undertaken. A 8 success eath 'year crowns the efforts”of the management, the feeling takes root with the dairy people that | this show should be the mecca to which ‘all men interested in dairy 'r'progress should make an annual pilI grimage and bring their fellows with them in goodly numbers. . | ' This show is the mart for exchange { of experiences and-ideas that have | made or broke those following the [ lines disclosed: It is the mart where {"all that is best in dairying, be {t | breeding, feeding, - fitting for show yard, or developing to- the highest | standard of production for market pur: l poses 1s discussed; where all that ig modern in farm and dairy machinery i 1s displayed in practical manner.

It is a farmer's show, the less pretentious scale you farm on the more need you have of its teashings. The railtoads are doing a great work along their respective lines and they, 'together with the agricultural and |'dairy press, are rendering valuable }euppon to this show. Thia show is held in Chicago every year. This year ! October 24 to November 2. Adv. ! .
