District Attorney McPherson, cooperating . with district attorneys and post office inspectors of six cities, government authorities today planned to arrest leaders of an alleged gang of swindlers. In giving1 the evidence against the men a woman played an Important part. She is Miss Clara Kronage of Cincinnati. As a former employe in the Cincinnati offices of the alleged swindlers she aided the government by testifying before the grand Jury. The suspects are alleged to have operated throughout the country for the past three years under the guise of legitimate stock and bond brokers. According to District Attorney McPherson, indictments have been returned for the arrest of John R. Long, of Cincinnati, to be arrested in Buffalo; F. D. Minyard, Cleveland, O.,; J. Gordon Malcolm, now in Canada; George S. Hanna, of Chicago, and Thomas Fish wick of Boston. McPherson also said today the federal authorities in New ork are investigating the operations of another member of the party there. The specific charge in the indictment is the use of the malls to defraud. It was in Cincinnati that the investigation of the alleged fraudulent operations was begun. The alleged headquarters is said to have been the American Redemption company, Rochester, N. Y., and the Chicago Debenture company. McPherson claims that the brokers under indictment have secured from victims over the country about $500,000. It is said that in a ddition to the cities named their operations extended to Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., Duguque, la., and Dallas, Tex. '

The army is now busy making preparations for winter work and for holiday work among the poor.

Many of the World's Great Men Won Fame In Their Youth. Some of the greatest achievements in the world have been made by youth, and it will always be so in human history. David, the sweet singer of Israel, was a shepherd, a poet and a general before he was twenty and a king at the age of eighteen. Raphael had practically completed his life work at the age of thirty-seven. lie did no great artistic work after that age. James Watt, even as a boy. as he watched the steam coming out of the teakettle, saw in it the new world of mechanical power made possible by the old element turned and driven by a simple appliance. Cortes was master of Mexico before he was thirty-six. Schubert died at the age of thirty-one after having composed what may perhaps he called in some ways the most entrancing melody ever written. Charlemagne was master of France and the greatest emperor of the world at the age of thirty. Shelley wrote "Queen Mab'' when he was only twenty-one and was a master of poetry before he was twenty-five. Pn trick Henry was able to shape the revolutionary history of a new country before he was thirty and astonish the world by his oratory before he was twenty-six years old. At the age of twenty-four Raskin had written "Modern Painters." and Bryant, while still a boy of high school age. had written "Thanatopsis." Robert Burns wrote some of his greatest songs while he was a plowboy. London Answers.

How to Fasten Buttons. When sewin, n buttons place a pii across the top of the button and se-w over it. Then when enough 6titches have been taken the pin may be re moved and the button drawn a littl away from the cloth and the thread wrapped several times around th stem thus formed.

j How to Sew on Skirt Bindings. If a skirt binding is sewed on witt cotton thread it will remain in plac longer than If silk thread Is used. Some Word Beginning With H. Most persons aspirate the Initial letter of "humble" nowadays and write "a humble" Just as they write "a humbug" or "a humming bird." But there are very many who would not naturally sound an h in "humble" or in "herb," "hospital," "homage" or even "humor." Before the nineteenth century nobody did, though It is clear that the aspirate had become regular by "Da-rid Copperfield's" time, from the fat that Dickens harps on Uriah leap's " 'umble." The insistence on the h is comparatively modern. Medieval men not only said " abit" for "habit," but wrote it so, and the Bible has an "Hebrew." London Standard.

The 8tar of Brazil. The most important cut stone of Brazil Is that called the "Star of the South," which was found by a negro woman in 1S53. It was appropriated by the mine owner who gave her in return a pension for life. The stone was sold for $15,000. the new owner depositing it in the Bank of Rio Janeiro and receiving on this security a loan many times greater than the value paid for the gem. The diamond was at length sold for ten times the amount paid. It was finally acquired by a syndicate and cut in oval form at a cost of $2,000 by a firm in Amsterdam. An Indian rajah offered more than $500,000 for it. but was refused. A little later it was bought for the gaekwar of Baroda.
