The story of how an Anderson man was instrumental in the capture of a ? "green goods" man in Jersey City, N. J., & . has just come to light. The story was told today by Postmaster Cochran. . Last July Mr. M. Seligman of this city received a letter from a "green goods" - ~ operator in Jersey City. It was the reg.V ular "green goods" circular, telling how the man had secured possesion of some plates from the government printing ofnee and was able to offer money "just as good as the genuine" at a very "low price. Mr. Seligman showed the letter to Postmaster Cochran, and at Mr. Cochran's suggestion he sent a reply. In the meantime Mr. Cochran communicated with the pOjStoffice authorities in Washington. In a few days Mr. Seligman received another letter enclosing a $1 bill as a sample. Mr. Seligman turned this bill over to Mr. Cochran, who in turn sent it on to Washington. Tbe. "green goods" man said he was not doing a mail order business and that f a1! transactions mast be made in person He requested Mr. Seligman to come to Jersey City at once and to send him a, telegram after be left Anderson to an address which he furnished. This address was sent to'Washington, and in a few days Mr. Seligman sent the "green goods" man a telegram. A government detective was watching, and when the telegram was delivered the detective put the man under arrest. The man gave bond for his appearance at the trial, and then skipped out, forfeiting his bond. He is in hiding now a fugitive from justice. Mr. Seligman yesterday received from the post office department a check for $1, , in payment for the bill which he sent them. The bill which the "green goods" man sent him was genuine, of course, and was sent as a decoy. The postoffice officials kept it, but they sent Mr. Seligman a check for it.?Anderson Mail.

A TREED AND TRUE FRIEND. One Minute Cough Cure contains not an atom of any harmful drug, and it has been curing coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough so long it has proven to be a tried and true friend to many who use it. Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., says; "Cohghing and straining so weakened me that I run down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. After trying a number of remeaies to no avail, One Minute Cough Cure entirely cured me." For sale by H. F. Hoover. i t';X . I 6 y. w Haccac i I UUlJWJi 1 Come Where Where the PF ANK B HINTS FOR FARMERS ; i How to Kill a Piar. Some butchers stun pigs before sticking them. Whether the animal is stunj ned or not it should be laid on its back, i where it is held until stuck, says American Cultivator. Then one man standing astride the body with his feet close 1 against its sides and holding its front 1 legs can easily control it while the oth- 1 er does the sticking. The knife, nar- i row. straight bladed, eight inches long, 1 Is inserted into the hog's throat, after j making an incision through the skin, ( just in front of the breastbone. The , point of the knife is directed toward l the root of the tail and held exactly I in line with the backbone. When the < knife has been run into the throat six * or eight inches, the depth depending on the size of the hog, it should be given a quick turn to one side and withdrawn. The arteries that are to ( be cut run close together, just inside of J Vio hroocthnnp and Will both be CUt | I when the knife Is turned, provided it 1 is sharp on both sides of the point. A 1 pig killed in this way will die in a 1 very few minutes and will bleed out ] thoroughly. , ( The Care of Hone/. < A cellar is one of the very worst places that can ,be found for storing honey. There are few cellars in which .< the air is not somewhat damp, and, as j honey readily attracts moisture, the ] drier and warmer the storehouse the better. In a damp cellar extract honey becomes thin and will often ferment, and with comb honey the case is still ( worse, for the appearance as well as , the quality is changed, writes A. Glen- ] wood in Epitomist The beautiful | white surface becomes watery and < darkened; drops of water gather on the f cappings and run over the surface. In- 1 stead of keeping honey in a damp eel- ' lar, keep it dry and warm?in fact, alj most hot It will not be too warm . with the temperature at 100 degrees. Where salt will keep dry honey is safe. I If one is fortunate enough to have a ! dry, warm garret next the roof, no I better place for honey can be found. . The Farm Wood Lot. Just now there is a demand for timj ber of nearly all kinds, and many j farmers are selling everything they i have that is marketable. This is in | most cases a very unwise policy, j The wood lot should be a part of ev ery well conducted farm and, if properly treated, may be made a very prof! itable part There is nothing to be I made, as a rule, by keeping trees after they have reached maturity, as then ; ; they will soon begin to deteriorate, but I it is decidedly poor policy to sacrifice : the best young trees merely because ' some one offers a good price for them. ; Timber values are not likely to j shrink, and the farmer and the rest of the world will need lumber and firewood as much ten or twenty years from now as they do today and more. ?Cor.

People Willln* to Saeriflee AIL "Thousands of people in Japan are suffering intense poverty on account of the war," said N. W. Werry, an Englishman, who In a trip around the world left Japan a month ago, says a Washington special dispatch to the New York Post Te found in Janan.H he continued, "among those left at home no great grief for relatives at the front Every person deems It an honor to have a part in the struggle! We found that poverty grows dally In Japan and that business Is retarded by the heavy war taxes which have been placed upon the country. . "Yet there Is no sorrow. In passing through Japan or In living there casually you would not know that a war was going on, draining the best in the population. Now and then flags are displayed, and In cases of great victory there Is a celebration, but otherwise there is little outward sign of conflict The condition of poverty that I have mentioned is, of course, beneath the surface. When the wounded soldiers return large crowds meet them at the station, and they are regarded as the greatest heroes ct all time. "The Japanese are the most patriotic race imaginable. The glory of their A* " * ? ^V?A<lA Tt-Krt country is me reiigjuu ui uivoc t, uu fight In the field. The women have banded themselves together to help. Every day hundreds of them go voluntarily to the hospitals to cut up lint Every material for the comfort of the troops is thought of, and the busy hands of the women act as a fitting complement to the bravery of the men. "In Japan they are sure of ultimate victory. With this faith they are willing to sacrifice everything in the country to make it possible. They believe that the war may last four years and are prepared for all that comes." "BURNING BUSH" SECT. Why Indiana Follower* of Hew Religion Insist on Going to Jail. The "Burning Bush" is the title of a new religion which has reached Muncle, Ind., and since it appeals to the fanatics it seems to be spreading at an alarming rate, says a Muncle correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle. Men, women and girls have been arrested and fined for disturbing the progress of other religious meetings, and they insist upon going to Jail, claiming that God ordered them to do so. ' The efforts of the followers to break up meetings of other denominations have resulted disastrously in several places. In Randolph county the operations of the "Burning Bush" followers have become so Jx>ld that they attempted upon various occasions to stop meetings of the Methodist churches. They believe that they are the elect and that all disbelievers will go to eternal punishment Miss Bessie Ford, a pretty young woman, is one of the leaders, and she was recently convicted, having been charged with disturbing religious meetings. She, together with Mrs. Mary Painter and & man named Hamilton Parsley, who have been introducing the faith In .'Randolph county, Is being held at Winchester for her actions in various churches where regular services were being held. They all claim that they will go to prison and suffer punishment, since it has been the will of the Lord, f The work of the new religious sect has wrought up many localities, and the promoters have many followers. Not until now have they Invaded the churches of the towns, and every effort Is being made to confine their work to the rural districts, but this, It seems, is impossible. AN EDUCATED HORSE. Milwaukee Animal That Has a Talent For Flflrurea. Hans, the famous German horse, whose ability to do sums In arithmetic and other difficult feats has astonished German scientists, has a rival in Milwaukee, says a dispatch from that city. The Milwaukee animal does simple sums, but his education has not progressed so far as that of Hans. The same charges that are made against the German horse that the animal does not do the sums of his own accord, but gives results by marvelous powers of observation, are repeated In this case. TA Vifo nmnor flVOfffl 11 IB tuau auggcaicvL wo vrruw ? hypnotic Influence over the anlmaL The horse is known as Colonel Dixon and was a common delivery horse In the service of a caterer, when his education was begun. Isaac Goodman Is the discoverer of the animal's ability and has only been giving the lessons for two months. He professes to believe that when he gives a sum to do the result is transmitted to the brain of the home by telepathy. When Colonel Dixon Is asked to subtract 8 from 5 he taps twice. When asked how many letters there are In the name of a visitor he taps the number provided Goodman knows the name. ? * Horses ai ct From and ' amberj SPRING The Spring Season is all want to tone up your sys "tired feeling."
