FOLLOWED A NOVEL ROUTE
Necessity for Caatloa la Placlaa;
One'sN Antoarapa oa
Paper.
There Is one chapter of English fiction
which reads almost exactly as though It
had been suggested by the testimony re
spectlng the psper upon which the certifi
cate purporting to witness the marriage
between Benator Piatt and Miss Wood was
written.' In that case, however, the novelist
discovered In the water mark of a paperv
upon which a forged Instrument had been
written a date showing that the paper had
been made a year later (han the date en-
tered upon It, conclusive evidence being
thereby furnished of forgery. (
.But that novel wal. written thirty years
ago, and in alt of criminal procedure1 since
that time, with a single exception, - there
has - been' no record Of a forrery having
been discovered In this way until the trial
of this case sgalnst Senator Piatt.
In the course of the trial the senator tes
tified that he had put his name to a blank
piece of paper at the request of some one
who pretended to desire his autograph and
that It was In the blank space over his
name that the Jotter purporting to have
been written by him to this woman was
written. As cautious k man aa Senator
Piatt would, It would seem, have had a care
about the manner in which he bestowed his
autograph.
Some years sgo aa action was brought
against a merchant doing business near
New York upon a not for 13,000. Ills de
fense was that while the signature to that
note was undoubtedly his, yet the body of
the Instrument was never made by him
Tha nots waa brought to this city and sub
mitted to a chemist for a test. With his
chemicals he gradually brought out In
faint, but yet readable words, the body of
a letter which had been written by this
merchant.
The forger had obtained the letter and
obliterated, aa ha thought, the body of It,
retaining only the signature and then writ
ten In the tfrms of the Jlota, which be
easily got discounted. One glance at the
faintly restored original letter was suffi
cient to prove ths forgery.
David Davis, when a member of tha
I'nlted States senate and Its presiding offi
cer, counseled senators, who were' his
friends, that whenever they signed their
name to a document 4 hey so do It aa to
leave no Intervening space upon whloh any.
thing could be written.
To explain why he gave that advice he
ssld that when he Was a Judge In Illinois
before President Lincoln called him to the
supreme court of the t'nlted States an ac
tion was brought before him on a note. The
signatures were genuine and the maker
of it did not deny It. but no Insisted Shat
the body of the note had been written over
tha signature, although In a somewhat nar.
row space. His contention was accepted by
the court and there was confession of the
forger afterwsrd. .
Thereupon Judge Davis decided that
whenever' he had occasion to sign his 'name
he would write It so near any preceding
writing that the Jlnes would almost touch.
All Ms correspondence after that time
showed this characteristic, regarded by
many as one of the best Indications of that
caution for which Judge Davis was distin
guished. Holland in Philadelphia Press .

SCHOOL GARDEN IN TEXAS
Practical Work Sapplesneats the Test

Schools.
The school garden fystem of San Antonio,
Tex., is on an established practical basis.
It Is said that this city has mora gar
dsns attached to Its schools than any
place of its si is in the wortd. There are
48 of these cultivated plot attached to
the twenty-nine pub) to schools. The gar
dens are in charge of sohool superintend
rmts, but the work of planting-, cultivating
and harvesting the prod nets of each is car
ried on by the pupils of the school to which
ths garden belongs. The gardens vary from
one-tenth to one-quarter of an acre. It Is
estimated that the total acreage is more
than 100, or equal to that of a good sited
farm.
The boys of the schools take a great pride
In their ' gardens. ' Th teachers declare
that since the gardena wero established the
boys are much more Industrious In their

The climate of San Antonio Is peculiarly
adapted to the operation of the school gay
den system. The work can be carried on
during practically the whole school term.
Certain vegetables can be grown success
fully during th fall and winter. The spring
gardens are planted early in February and
tha products are matured and harvested
by the time the school term ends In June.
An enormous quantity of vegetables is
grown. The boys take such a keen Interest
In the work that tljey give little time to
playing the games that usually consume
a good part of the time of young students.
There ts much rivalry among the different
schools oytr the gardens.

in tke public schools of Ban Antonio. Tha
youths are given a basic training In farm
ing and gardening and are enabled to put
their knowledge to practical UN In the gar

FORT RILEY, Kan., Juha 20. (Special.)
After ten days- of Inconvenience Hood
conditions are over with, as far as this
post Is concerned. A shortage of fresh
meat and other packing houne products
and a dearth of jKitatons was keenly felt
by the men. J lie inanuuy oi me pacsina
houses to forward supplies was the cause
of the shortage In moat, while the shutting
of of pfactically all railroad transporta
tion -brought on the potato famine. The
first shipment of potatoes was receiver
Tuesday, when a car was brought to tha
post bv a roundabout route. All of the
organizations were Immediately notified,
and In a remarkably short space of time
the car waa half emptied, the nutritious
vegetable being carried to the troop and
buttery kitchens by the wagon loud. The
potato la not as a rule, considered a deli
cacy on the bill of fare, but the lack of
supply created a hunger for the food that
only largo quantities could appease. Mail
was fremiently over due from two to three
days. The way the Engineer bridge over
the Ksw at this point stood the test of the
high waters speaks volumes of praise fur
the skill and worKmananip or me engmrer
.Ibaltallon from Fot La venworth, which
constructea n. uresi uniut-n uu
that were over three feet In diameter were
hurled against its piers by tha flood, but
through it all there was never so much as
a tremor In the structure. Details were on
the long bridge day and night to remove all
drift, but their labors were almost un
necessary. The Kaw will soon be down to
normal at this point.
Eleven polo ponies which were purchased
at Alva. Okl., for the Blxlh field artillery,
were stalled at Wamego, while enroute to
the post by the hlKh, water. The animals,
which cost from M to 8150 a head, were
unloaded from the car and cared for by
the local livery stables. A detachment was
Bent from this post to bring the animals In
overland and they arrived Wedneaday In
splendid condition. The ponies are for the
use of the officers and enlisted men of the
rtalment. -

to leave the pout Saturday, but midnlk'lit
found him once more in his quarters. H"
lett Junction City on the Missouri, Kansas
Texas, nut got no further than Amerli im.
about forty miles from the post. The Neo
sho river had gone on the -rampage and
washed out about 800 feet of track. When
he returned i near Junction City the Smoky
Hill river had risen rapidly during the day
and he was compelled to ride on a handcar
over a water-covered tratk and across a
bridge that was being threatened by the
rapidly raising . flood. In company with
Colonel M. M. . Macomb, Sixth field artil
lery, also ordered to Washington for duty
on tha general slaff, he left on Tuesday of
this week over tliu Union Pacific and the
Santa Fe.
Private. Henry ' Perkins of .the Seventh
cavalry, a garrison prisoner, made a during
escape from a sentry on Friday, while st
work near the post crematory, and is still
at large. Watching his opportunity, he
dashed down a steep Incline to the timber
along the river bottoms. The sentry, who
was mounted, tried to follow him, and In
forcing his horse iown the bank narrowly
escaped serious Injury. The prisoner made
his way through the wood snd was soon
lost to- view.- It Is assumed that he swam
the Kansas river, which was then a'
flood stage, with drift coming down the
current, for his shoes were found on the
river bank shortly after by searching par
ties. A week before tha same man tried
to escape by going, through on of the tele
phone conduits in the post. The man had
been In the service but eight months and
enlisted in Oklahoma.
