THE CLEVER TRICK
PLAYED TOO OFTEN
"General" Mayfield who Has been
Imposing on the People, was
To-day Sent to Jail in Default
of Bonds that Aggregate $800.
Other Cases Tried.
' General" Mayfield, the negro boy
who has been doing a land-office busi
ness in second-hand clothing, was ar
raigned in the Recorder's Court this
morning on four different indictments.
The first charge was for obtaining
two suits of clothes from Dr. A. M.
"Whisnant. Mayfield went to Dr. Whis
r.ant's home and pretended that he was
an employe of the Queen City Pressing
Club. Mrs. Whisnant gave him several
articles of clothing that were to be
pressed and cleaned and to be return
ed. As the clothing never was returned
Dr. Whisnant made inquiry at the of
fice of the Queen City Pressing Club.
He was informed that his property had
never been received there and that the
negro who secured the clothing, was
an imnoster.
Dr. Whisnant had about given up all
hope of seeing his clothing again when
a telephone message from the office
of Chief Irwin called him to examine
some clothing.
This morning he identified a coat
and vest and an entire suit that May
field wore, as his property.
Mrs. Z. V. White, who resides at No.
304 East Liberty street, fell a victim
to Mayfield's clever trick. Her husband
had a suit of clothes that needed press
ing and cleaning. Mayfield called
around and said the Queen City Press
ing Club would put the clothes in first
class shape for 45 cents. The negro
also told Mrs. White that if she did
not like the suit, after the work was
done, the Pressing Club would pur
chase the clothes. Mrs. White identi
fied Mayfield as the boy who made her
such fair promises, thereby getting her
husband's suit of clothes. The clothing
which was in evidence, was also iden
tified by Mrs. White.
Mr. H. A. Briggs, who lives out in
Dilworth, was another witness against
Mayfield. He lost a suit of clothes by
the same scheme that Mayfield practic
ed on every one. He identified his
property and Mrs., Scott, who delivered
the clothing to the boy, identified May
field as the boy who came after the
clothing.
Mr. T. J. Hutchison, assistant to Dr.
M. D. Hardin, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church, was another of
Mayfield's victims. He lost several ar
ticles of clothing.
After bearing all the evidence the
court held Mayfield in a $200 bond in
each case. There being four cases the
negro would have to give $800 security
in order to gain his liberty. He went to
jail.
John .Slaton, a hack driver, was be
fore the court, charged with obtain
ing money by false pretense from Al
lie Menola, a woman of the Tenderloin.
Slaton, it seems, went to the woman's
house armed with a note to which he
had signed Walter Caldwell's name.
Caldwell is also a hackman and ' the
woman had, on different occasions,
leaned him money. This note stated
that Caldwell was ill and wanted the
Menola woman to let him have $20.
The woman sent word that she did not
have the cash. Later, Slaton and Roy
Robinson went to Allie Menola's house
and while there they sacured $3.50, on
the strength of their story that Walter
Caldwell wanted the money.
The court held that both the ne
groes were guilty and each was re
quired to give a $200 bond.
Belk Bros' Purchase.
Belk Bros today purchased the en
tire stock of the Boston Shoe Store in
the Presbyterian Hospital building on
West Trade street. This stock will be
placed on sale Saturday. Mr. W. F.
Buchanan, the owner of the stock
closes out because he expects to make
his home in Washington, D. C.
The stock is being moved to Belk
Bros place of business, on East Trade
today.

FOOD AND STUDY.
A College Man's Experience.
"All through my high school course
and first year in college," writes an
ambitious young man, "I struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond of
cakes and fried things. My system got
into a state of general disorder and
it was difficult for me to apply myself
to school work with any degree of sat
isfaction. I tried different medicines
and food preparations but did not seem
to be able to correct the difficulty.
"Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I
had to do something, so I just ,buckled
down to a rigid observance of the di
rections on the package, and in less
than no time, I began to feel better.
In a few weeks my strength was re
stored, my weight had increased, I had
a clearer head and felt better in every
particular. , My work was simply
sport to what it was formerly.
"My sister's health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her mu
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
I had. Then, my brother, Frank, who
is in the postoffice department at Wash
ington City and had been trying to do
brain works on greasy foods, cakes
and all that, joined the Grape-Nut Ar
my. I showed him Tvhat it was and
could do and from a broken down con
dition he has developed into a hearty
and efficient man.
"Besides these I could-give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men
tally and physically by the use of this
food." Nam$ given by Postum Co.,

HEIRS DISCOVERED CASH
In Every Nook of Home They Found
Bonds, Mortgages, Etc., Hidden.
New York, Feb. 22. Bonds and mort
gages representing more than $1,100,
000 and more than $40,000 in cash have
been found hidden in a house at 184th
street and Morris" Avenue, lately occu
pied by Miss Maria Corsa, who died of
starvation and exposure on Monday of
last week, leaving an estate valued at
nearly $1,000,000. The money was hid
den in furniture, under carpets and in
almost every nook and corner of the
house.
Mrs. Mary Burnham, a first cousin of
Miss Corsa and one of the nearest rel
atives, has installed herself with her
sons, Willie and Oscar Schuyler. They
took possession soon after Miss Corsa's
death. Mrs. Josephine Liscom, an
other first cousin, is an equal heir with
Mrs. Burnham. ' ?
Several other claimants to part of
the estate ha,ve come to light since the
death of the wealthy old recluse. They
have engaged counsel to look after
their interests.
When Mrs. Burnham took charge of
the Morris Avenue house she had the
place cleaned and put in order. After
the funeral of Miss Corsa on Friday
Mrs. Burnham, with her two sons; be
gan a search of the premises. Every
piece of furniture was thoroughly ex
amined and the entire house gone over
and much wealth found. The money
found was in bills of every denomina

The Chamber; oComrnerce, of that
City will be Represented 'iV,the
Inter-State Movement .for the
Preservation ot the Fores is to
be Held Here. . :
The Macon" (Ga.) Chamber of Com
merce will join Charlotte in the move
ment looking to the preservation of the
forests. The Telegraph of that city has
the following interesting item :
The first organized interstate move
ment for forest preservation iri ' the
Appalachian water shed t will be given
its initial momentum in Charlotte, N.
C, on March 3, and will probably be
participated in by the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce.
The announcement of the interstate
convention comes in the form of an
invitation to the Macon chamber to
send a representative. The object of
the convention and of the organization
to which it is hoped that the meeting
will give rise, will be to crystallize
public sentiment and to formulate leg
islation both for the national and state
governments looking to reserving a
portion of such timber lands as are
still available, and to the replanting
of the forests which have been or are
being destroyed. About a year ago a
representative from the agricultural
department at Washington passed
through the South, urging upon the
commercial bodies the importance, of
concerted action looking to the. safe
guarding of the Appalachian water
shed. ;- ,
He pointed out that, all other con
sideration aside, denuding the Appa
lachians to any material extent of
their forests would mean bringing
down floods and droughts on the whole
area fed by streams from the moun
tains and watered by rains which the
wooded condition of the mountainous
regions now regulates, distributing
them normally throughout the seasons.
He further pointed out that while the
bulk of the entire Appalachian forest
country was already in the hands of
the ' lumber companies, considerable
tracts were still available for purchase
apart from the national government's
right to condemn lands .and buy them.
But he especially stressed the fact that
preserving the forests did not mean
forbidding the wood-cutter to enter
that hat was most needed was the
regulation of present forestry methods,
looking to the perpetuation of the for
ests as a commercial asset at the same
time that their present output, year by
year, was hardly at all diminished.
At the convention in Charlotte prob
ably all the sections of the central
South will be represented, and it is
felt that an organized effort on the
part of; the business interests of the
South will probably be effective in in
ducing Congress to take action. ?

MR. STOWE'S SUGGESTIONS.
Writes Interesting Letter; With Regard
To Acreage Reduction,1 and "Gives
Some Good Ideas to Farmers. .,..!
. Mr. Editor: Tlie papers just now
are full of advice to the farmers to re
duce, their acreage in cotton as a sure
means of enhancing i the price of cot
ton. If the people will only heed this
advice and respond to the appeals of
the Cotton Association and make the
reduction in acreage as recommended
by the Association, it will, certainly be
to their interest to do so. I can add
nothing new to the argument along
this much discussed line of thought,
but I do ask for a little space for a
few remarks from a different stand
point but tending towards the same re
sult. Many years before the Cotton Asso
ciation was organize I reduced my
cotton acreage to less than one-half
and in lieu of the cotton crop I sowed
small grain followed by a pea crop,
making two crops a year off of the
same land and the longer I practice
this plan the better I like it. This
change of proceedure gave me more
small grain and pea vine crops than I
had stock : to handle, so I rented to
some of my neighbors all the land that
I could not handle myself to be sowed
ii small grain and my rule is that each
man who. sows "some small grain gets
the refusal of the land he sows in small
grain to sow in peas. I furnish the land
and the seed peas and the renter sows
the peas and mows and piles the hay
and we go halvers in the pea hay crop.
While this rule pays the renter hand
somely it also pays me for the quicker
the peas are sowed after the small
grain is cut. the better it is for the
peas. In this way also, two crops of
vegetable matter are turned under to
feed the soil.
Now if it pays to reduce the acreage
in order to enhance the price of cotton
and nobody doubts this and if it also
pays to raise all our stock feed and
small grain at home and make cotton
the surplus crop. Then it pays from
both standpoints to reduce the cotton
acreage and ' when :we consider the
growing demand for pea vine hay on"
the markets and the good price it
brings and that machinery figures
largely in its production this is another
strong argument in favor of dotton
acreage reduction. '

only one of these testified that young

New York, Feb. 22. The work of ob

Claiche, the young French girl indicted
for the murder last July of Emil Ger
don, who is said to have enslaved her
in an immoral life was finished yester
day in the criminal branch of the Su
preme Court before Justice Davis. An
adjournment was taken until Monday
morning.
There was such difficulty in select
ing a jury owing to the frankness
with which the talesmen expressed
their sympathy for the prisoner. Many
declared that they would not convict
the girl under any circumstances.
In all, nine jurors were chosen dur
ing the day, in spite of the fact that
challenges were frequent. : '
Patience with Children.
- If we are notable housekeepers we
are in danger -of putting our carpsts
and curtains, our well-kept furniture
and our things in general before our
children. I have known a mother to
pass by 'without notice a rude or boor
ish on the part of a child, when she
came down like a veritable Day of
Judgment on the same little culprit
if his ball happened to break a pane
of glass. There are mothers who can
pardon-anything except an ink spot
on. the front. (pf a frockiO? a;ritf,ait.a.
garment. . Ink spots on character and
rentsin behavior are a thousand times
more injurions than a transient damage
to clothing or furniture.
Mothers need not discriminate.
Harshness and severity should never
be meted out to the child who is the
victim of an accident. With the most
admiration I remember the perfect
poise and undroken calm of a sweet
woman whose little girl had the mis
fortune to knock over a very costly
vase which had for her. mother prec
ious associations connected with her
wedding journey, in the Far East. The
vase stood on a table where it had
been placed after having been shown
to guests, who had gazed at it almost
with envy. In came little Barbara,
her doll in her arms, her feet caught
on a rug, slipped along the polished
floor ; she threw out a hand to save her
self from falling, and lo! the vase lay
in fragments at her feet. "Never
mind.Barbara," said the mother, gently
"you did not mean to do it. I am so
glad you . are not hurt, and that even
Dolly has not a scratch."
The object lesson in self-control was
worth going far to see, and ; its effect
would never be lost on the character
formation of the little daughter. Mar

Loveliest and most exquisite of the

In a suburban train, one summer day,
an Italian peasant took her seat by
my side. She was a mere girl, not
more than sixteen. On her bare brown
hand showed her wedding ring, and in
her arms she held a tiny infant, a wee
scrap of -humanity. Her face was ra
diant with pride and joy. From time
to time she lifted a corner of the veil
that hid the little crumpled face of the
bambino, peeped at it and looked up
with an expression so angelic, so heav
enly, that it made my heart warm.
. "Please let me look," I said. ' And
never queen, with greater triumph in
possession, displayed her princely off
spring than this youthful peasant
mother showed her little child. "How
old is he?" I asked. And the answer
came, "just , three weeks old today."

we tell you of a bargain it is a bargain and we
have tne Shoes to back up the claim:
