Gels Money oh Bogus Check.
There came to light this week the
transactions of a stranger which,
through endorsing a chock, cost Louis
Peterson, of this city, three hundred
mid seventy-five dollars. On January
5th, a man claiming to be Harry
Wilson and representing himself as an
ajent for tho Kimball Piano Co., of
West Lincoln, landed In town and took
a room nt Mr. Peterson's lodging house.
Among his possessions wns n certified
check for $175 drawn by Ex-Governor
Shullenbergor, which ho exhibited to
Mr. Peterson and later had cashed.
After being in town for a day or two
he told Mr. Peterson that ho wanted to
buy property here, and calling on John
Grant, found that Mr. Grant was agent
ror just such a house as ho wanted a
two story dwelling opposite the ice
houses on Froryt street. Ho was to
make a partlul paymont on tho houso,
and later exhibited to Mr. Peterson a
check for $375 drawn on tho Central
Bank, of Lincoln, by J. A. Johnson
nnd mado payablo to Harry Wilson.
Ho must got this check cashed to make
tho payment on the houso and askod
Mr. Peterson If ho would endorso itfns
n matter of Identification. To this ro
qilest Mr. Peterson acceded, tho check
wns cashed at one of t)a local banks
and, a short time thereafter Wilson
loft town. The chock was forwarded
to tho Lincoln bnnk and roturncd here
with ' the information that J. A. John
son had no account nt that bank. It
then doveloped that Wilson was a
swindler nnd that Mr. Peterson had

According to railroad men who claim
to bo posted alfalfa is to be planted all
nlong the Union Pacific right-of-wny
through Nebraska, Wyoming and as far
west aa Odgcn during tho coming sum
mer. Tho plan of using alfalfa to fight
weeds and dust along tho right-of-way
was announced by this road a year ago,
but the details are just now being
worked out. The scheme is to givo
farmers the use of two hundred feet of
right-of-wny on each sido of tho tracks
on condition that tho space la kept free
of weeds and planted to alfalfa. This
will bind the noil together and return a
rich revenue to the farmer as well ob
enabling him to increaso tho forage
supply of the west. There are approx'
montly 1,000 miles of road between

A Doctor's Luck
D FRED L. YOUNG
Copyright, 1911, by American Press
Association.
My' friend and family physician,
Dr. Parmctcr, wns trying to Jolly mo
out of an 'attack of Uver troublo or
something of that nnttiro tho other day,
and wo got to talking of tho dlfllculty
of young professional tnen getting their
Btart
"Thoro was n time," said tho doctor,
'when experience was considered tho
great desideratum nnd no doctor that
hadn't a bald crown nnd white whisk
ers had much of a chance. Hut of
late years such discoveries in tho med
ical world havo been made thnt what
a doctor needs is to bo kept up in his
profession. I started hi tho day when
old ago was essential, and sinco I was
very young and looked llko a boy I
had no show at all. Did I over tell you
how I got my Btart?"
"No."
"I set myself up to practlco in a
suburban town whero a! very rich man
a Mr. Dllllugton had hlu residence.
I met him once on the truln going out
of tho city, nnd, with a viow to im
pressing him with my medical erudi
tion, I tnlked a bluo streak about tox
ins and antitoxins, transfusions and
germ colonization. Ho scorned very
much Interested, but that wns when
Pasteur Avns Just beginning his Inves
tigations, nnd Pasteur was tho father
of tho whole business.' I was foolish
enough to hope thnt Mr. Ullllugton
would bo ho Impressed with the Inter
est I took In tho new field I saw loom
ing up that If any of his family beenmo
111 ho mlRlit call mo In. Whether ho
didn't understand what I wns talking
uLoqt or wmh wedded to tho cxpcrl
enco. theory of a doctor's vnluo I don't
know, but tho sumo old coot continued
to be his family puyslclnn.
Ono day my henrt leaped In my
throat when Mr. Ullllngton's butler
en mo to my olflco nnd nsked If I could
find It convenient to call. The fact is
I wns finding it very Inconvenient be
cause I didn't mnko calls. I went at
once, but what was my chagrin to bo
taken to tho stable. Thoro wero Mr.
Bllllngton, a veterinary surgeon, a
groom and a coachman standing over
a $1,500 horse, who wns lying on his
sldo, ovldontly ready to glvo bin last
kick.
"I hope you won't feel insulted, doc
tor," snld Mr. Ullllugton, "at my call
ing on you to savo a horso, but ho's a
valuable animal, und my veterinarian
hero has given lilm up. Don't you
think you can help us out?"
"I wanted to'sny, 'Why don't you
cnll on your old bnldhead, who is
doubtless making n thousand or two a
year out of you?' but I didn't. I havo
n natural bent for making peoplo feel
easy about their sick 'and a special
nptltudc for bolstering up tho sick
themselves. I put ou tho wisest look
I could aud felt the animal's heart
beat. I didn't need to toll htm to put
out his tongue, for it .was hanging out
nlready, nnd meanwhile I was think
ing of some experiment to mako. As
for knowing what was tho matter with
tho horse, who couldn't toll mo a sln
glo symptom, I hadn't tho remotest
idoa. Presently an idea occurred to
me.
" 'I must rim over to tho drug Btoro
I said.
" 'Tom will go for you,' said Mr.
Bllllngton.
"I must go myself. I don't know
wlint they've got that I waut, and ,1
must find out.'
"Off I stnrted for tho drug store, and
when I got thoro I snld to the drug
gist: 'Qlvo mo something that's rather
bulky nnd harmless. I don't enre what
It is. I must havo it right off.'
"Ho looked about him, and, his eyo
catching nomo conrso bugs, ho snld, 'I
don't know of anything unless you
tnko ono of those bags of bathing
salt.'
" 'Tho very thing,' I enld. 'Glvo mo
ono nt once.
"Fortunately there was nothing
printed on tho bags to glvo mo away,
so I seized ono of them nnd hurried
buck to Mr. Kelllngton's stable. When
I got thero I found thnt tho veterina
rian had pronounced the horso dend
and had gono away In high dudgeon
bocniiHo it real doctor hud boon colled
In, which he considered a profession
al Insult I looked at the horso and
had no inoro doubt myself that ho
was dead than that I wns alive. Nev
ertheless, taking a handful of tho snlt
from tho bag, I sprinkled It on his
tongue
"It wasn't a mlnuto boforo that
tonguo began Blowly to move. It was
drawn into tho animal's mouth, tho
suit was swallowed, and tho tonguo
wns put out ngnin. I dropped another
handful on it, and nc.n it wan with
drawn and tho snlt swallowed.
"Well, sir, I kept on feeding tho
horso snlt, which hnpponed to bo ex
nctly what ho needed, till ho got up
and Btood on his feet.
"Everybody was astonished, lnclud
ing myself, but you can bet my as
tonishment didn't appear on tho sur
fuco. nilllnglmm wroto mo n check

Atto'ney, open do case."
Tho prosecuting attorney roso aud
said:
"Jim Turnleo, wha' fo' yo' kill Moso
Hnrklns?"
"I didn't kill Moso Harklus," replied
tho accused, much excited.
"Yes, yo' did; yo' know yo' did."
Turning to tho court: "Wo shall prove,
yo' holiali, dat do prisoner dono do

Tho stato attorney sat down, and
tho counsol for tho defense arose.
"Jim Turnleo!" ho said savagely.
Tho prisoner started.
"Wha yo' lookln' wild out ob dem
oyes ob yourn fo'? Yo hain't gwlno o

to provo dat you didn't kill Moso llar

prisoner's equanimity it failed. Jim
looked moro than "over as If ho must
defend himself by killing tho Judge,

ceeded: "Jim Turnlce, tell do co't wha' yo'

"I was In ma bed."
"What was yo' doln' in bed?
"Slcepln'."
"Hold on dah," Interposed tho pros'
ecutor. "If yo' was asleep how do

Tho prisoner looked ready to break
and run.

If doy was In a henhouso Btcalin' chick

"Do Jury finks dat If (ley was In do

Scientific Love
By WILLIS BEACH POTTER
Copyright, 1911, by American Press
Association.
A recent Interview of n newspaper
man with Mr. Edison, tho wizard of
Mcnlo Tark, brought out Mr. Edison's
statement that tho living body is a
mero machine, or, rather, that it Is com
posed of millions of mlnuto cells, each
having its own individuality. Ho com
pares a man to a city containing an
enormous number of peoplo llko Lon
don, New York or Berlin. Tho brain,
according to this doctrine, is n complex
camera or storehouso of lnuumerablo
photographic plates, each ono of which
has received an Impression during tho
man's Ufo to bo used on occasion; that
theso plates aro whut we call memory.
This Is a purely scientific view nnd
docs not pertain to tho soul.
Lord Tonterton, nn English noble
man, had n daughter who had been
engnged to bo married to a son of a
merchant prince. This young man,
Sldnoy Hough, died nnd left tho girl
disconsolate. Sir Percy Scarborough,
a friend of Lord Tcntcrton, had a son
who had gono through a similar ex
perience, no had loved Roso Mac
Alistcr, tho daughter of a Scotch laird,
nnd lost her by quick consumption.
Now, Lord Tentortou wns poor, and
ho desired to ally his family with tho
wealthier blood of England. Moreover,
his lordship was n scientist with orig
inal Ideas. Ho considered only tho
scientific part of love aud, looking upon
tho brain on the Edlsonlnn prlnclplo
of lnnumerablo photographic plates,
conceived tho Idctt of a gradual sub
stitution of Images on his daughter's
brain to change her memory of her
dead lover to a llvo one.
If this could bo dono with her it
might bo dono with young Scar
borough. Tcntcrton called on Sir Per
cy and proposed n scheme. Sir Percy
was much disappointed at his son's
failure to marry that tho family might
bo perpetuated and wnB ready for any
plan that would induce him to do so.
But Hugh Scarborough, like Edith Ten
terton, refused to bo comforted and
would not consent to tako another
mato. What Lord Tentorton proposed
was accepted for trial, and tho needful
was supplied by tho engagement of a
portrait painter.
Ono day Lord Tonterton returned to
his homo from London with a portrait
His daughter, entering his study, saw
it hanging on tho wall. Sho was struck
with its resemblanco to her dead lover.
Sho said nothing to her father, who
pretended to bo busy writing at his
desk, though ho wob really watching
her. Ho saw her gazo upon it for n
long while; then sho went out to con
ceal her emotion. Tho portrait was
that of tho man sho mourned, yet
slightly different Sho believed it to
bo tho likeness of eomo ono who very
much resembled him. Not long after
this Bho camo into her father's study
again under pretenso of asking a ques
tion, but really to look at tho picture.
It seemed to her that It had undergone
a slight change; but, being in tho same
place and in tho samo frnmo ns tho
ouo sho had Been before, sho thought
sho was mistaken. From timo to time
sho visited tho study to gazo upon tho
portrait, and every timo sho found
some slight change
Tho portrait had been painted by tho
artist employed to carry out tho
scheme, and ho wns gradually altering
it from a plcturo very llko her dead
lover to a likeness of Hugh Scarbor
ough. And whllo ho was doing this
ho was changing n portrait of Roso
MacAHstor to ouo of Edith Tentorton.
Sir Percy waa Imposing on his son
