'While' tho happy American peoplo were living in igno rance of such an abomlnablo crimo, the papers oil ovor Germany and Aus tria, with flaring headlines, told about the bold "robbory of millions from tho United States treasury." At tho public resorts this villainy of Ameri can millionaire criminals was discussed ami for a few days oxcltomont ran high, even in financial circles, about the sensational story published by tho papers of Emperor William and Em peror Francis Joseph 's realms. Many papers oven published illus- tratlons showing features of tho in exediblo deed. A writer in tho Brook-cnn cruigorgj nnd woro flttod up for the lyn Kuglo stated that tho papor o!CXpeditlon in tho almost unknown preted the hop that tho North Amcrl.

And furtbormoro tho Gorman editors who woro taken in so easily know that America was tho land of tho millionaires; that tho coun try was said to bo in tho hands of tho millionaires, and that tho building of tunnels waB ono of their principal en gineering feats. All theso wero facts and pitfalls for tho credulous editors, who did not take Into consideration tho custom of pub lishing fnko stories on April tho first.

It was not until tho clever copyists had beon rcmindod that tho invention was mado on April fool's day that thoy learned tho publication had only been a fnko. In geographical knowlodgo not much could bo expected, and for this reason it was easily bellovod that tho robber flcot's vessels wero uolomuinu or vn inodations may bo found to do such - - - - - - w . ... i work. It must, however, bo considered a poor oxcuso made by theso German pa pers, which) claimed afterward that tho story was not printed as a mere news item and that fake stories ap pearing in Gorman papers would, more easily, be copied by the yellow jour nals of America. It may bo quoted that not all of the All Fools Day -fake originated with the Berliner Tagelblatt's correspond cnt. In a reeont novel by Alfred Hen ry Lewis, an unprincipled Russian no. bloroan, a society figure in Washington carries out tho plot to loot the Ueas ury. He learns tbat an old sewer Tuns close to tho vault. Ho buys a fast yacht, employs crooks from New York to do tho work, and Ingeniously de vises rubber bags to bo blown up as wanted by tho man who hasbroken into tho vaults from the sower. Each bag will carry 20 pounds of gold and will float down tho slow stream of the sower to its mouth at the Potomac. There, in dead of night, row boats will take tho gold to tho yacht. The plot is foiled only after the vaults aro bro ken into. Mr. Lewis is tho biographer of Blchard Croker. His story was not a joke. It was perhaps a triflo more ingenious than tho German journalist s imitation. Brooklyn Eagle. - What Ogon Needs.

Phllndefr phia Press. , . t TaKe Care Of Your Heart It is the engine that forces' the blood to every part of the body; this blood conveys the nourishment that makes fleshy bone and muscle; it also car ries off the worn-out particlcsv If the heart flutters or palpi tates, it is weak, and is work ing imperfectly, so that the body docs not get this nourish ment; it also fails to throw of the impurities, and they ro main to poison the system. If it is irregular, skips beats, or is painful, the heart is prob ably "leaky" and the circulation poor. These conditions arc dangerous.
