PAGE) FOUR TRACING FAKE BILL "Exciting Chase of United States , Secret Service Man. MANY HANDLE COUNTERFEIT. After Bank Clerk Dbcovtrs Spurious " Currency, Hunt Leada to Many Cltlee. Grocer, Original Owner of Bill, Provee to Be Agent For Organized Band of Counterfeitea. Cleveland, O.-The tracing of counter feit bills back to tbe persons resnonsl Jble for tlielr Issue Is a curious mid ex pltlng employment. The experts as clgned by (lie government to tbls work "are anions tbc nust skillful members of the secret service. The protection of the currency depends In large meas wre upon their efficiency, and the pains they take are almost Infinite.-The fol lowing catc Is one illustrating the dlf Acuities which the secret service people meet and overcome: A bank clerk hi Cleveland had de tected a cnuutcrfelt twenty dollar bill J. FLYXS, CHIEF Or OSITEW STATES SECBET SERVICE. In the deposit of a small retail grocer. lAn exiK?rt was sent for and undertook Ibe case. . lie found that the grocer had re ceived the bill from a shoe dealer, who bad it from a dentist, who bad it from somebody els, aud so on until the se cret service man finally traced the note to an invalid woman, who bad used it to pay her physician. When questioned tbis woman said that the money bad been' sent her by her brother, who lived lq New Orleans. The sleuth looked up the brother's antecedents and soon became con vinced that lie was the man wanted. The brother, however, soon proved to the satisfaction of the secret service man that bis suspicious were un foun'.ltd. indeed, it appeared that the money ha.l been received by the New Orleans man In part payment of rent .of e house he owned In Pittsburgh. Wbi e the xlcutli was a bit discour aged, lie' couldn't give over the case vrucn he had gone so fur. so he took tbe next train for IMttnlnirgh. The tenant of the house in Pitts burgh proved to be n traveling oculist, who Kpnt moot of his time in (he mid dle west, The tecret terviee man bad the good fortune, bowerer, to catch bim'"jiist an h lmd returned from a trip, and the man at nce recognized tbc bud bill as one that had been given bliu bya patient In Clercland, the very point where the euth bad started. The patient was a boss carpenter. Tie carpenter, an honest old fellow, said that he hud leceired the bill from a certain Perkins. The &ajd Perkins .was the small grocer In whose bank deposit the counterfeit had turned up. The expert flew to the grocer's as quickly as the taxi would take him and found it cloyed. The grocer had JJef t town. " Afterward it was Shown beyond question that the grocer was the agent of ail organized band of counterfeiters. Utssliop was a mere blind. That .the bill which he gave the carpenter should jet. back Into his own funds after trav eling all over the country was one of those mlruclcs of chance for which there is uo explanation.

Labor Cheerfully. Who art thou that complalnest of thy life of toll? Complain not Look Mip. my wearied brother. See thy fel low" workmen there In God's eternity, surviving there, they alono surviving; sacred baud of the Immortals, celestial bodyguard of the empire of mankind. To thee heaven, though 60vcre. Is not unkind. Heaven Is, kind, as a noble mother, as that Spartan mother saying wbilo she gave her son bis shield, "Keturn wUb it, my son, or upon If." Thomas Carlyle. Learn to Save It Is a certain and sure fact that not every one In tbls world can be rich. Neither' does every one want to be rich, but every man can. If ho will, form such a habit of thrift that when trouble overtakes him, as it must over take all, he will be able to ward off much of its unpleasantness. It Is a truth that goes without dis putation that many of the bitter things that come to us along with our trou bles are caused by the knowledge of the truth that bad it not been for ex travagance In the past the trouble of today would have been of less moment and more easy to bear. It's a good thing for a man to have friends upon whom be can depend In moments of adversity "A friend In need Is a friend Indeed" but the best friend that a young man can have when the storm strikes bis life Is a bank account that has grown from smalt to larger amounts, saved from bis salary by the habit of thrift that be has formed. Exchange. The Work That Pays. Lord Kelvin, tbe famous Scotch sci entist, used to tell tbe students In tbe Glasgow university that tbe thing that made blm make up his mind to get an education at all costs and to work with his head and not with bis bands was a remark made by a Scotch minister. "In Scotland," be said, "you can get all tbe labor you want for half a crown day. but there Is no country In tbe world where you can hire mind for half a sovereign a day. and some of it costs 100 an hour." Find the Joys. Many think themselves to be truly i God fearing when they call this world volley of tears. But 1 bellevo they would be more so If tbey called it a happy valley. Gwl Is more pleased with those who think everything right tbe world than with those who think nothing right With so many thousand Joys is it not black ingrati tude to call the world a place of sor- Off aud tormeut?

If your efforts you redouble There'll be brighter daya ahead awaiting you. Wbere's the uie of wbtnlng, moan ing or of wasting time in dron ing? Never yet have such thlnga pulled a fellow through. When you've trouble you must meet It. That's tbe proper way to treat It. Always bear bi mind "results" de pend on "you." 6 If you mean to conquer trouble you must take It "at the double."
