HOW CRIMINALS BEGIN FIRST • STEPS _IN .Mle..eGUIDED • How Some Femme, Lew -Breakers Were Initiated Into • ' • • .Crime. • Druscovitchetee famous detective, once declared that while It was wonderful how some of the famous criminals he cap- tured bad become criminals, there were others' who appeared as if they could never have, been anything else. The first step in crime was made by persons of .the first class under the mostevaticue cir- cumstances--p.assion; temptation, de- spair—but, by the persons of the second class, through what seemed sheer crimi- nal instinct. • • • Many - of the most notorious -wrong- doers have, if their own impressions are te be relied on, been tempted to launch into crime by the most aocidental cir- cumstances. "Jim the Pennian,". the great jorger. whose forgeries created panic limong-Lendon bankers for several years, and who was at last brought to justice by the confessions -of two of-hLs accomplices, when he was oondemned Lo penal servitude for life said that the.idea of -forgery never .occurrid lo him till it was suggested by the chance remark of e casual acquaintance whom he inet frea Lcndon restaurant where -ho was dining. HIS FIRST FORGERY. Theestretriger chanced to allude to forgery that had been committed, and remarked -how clever a _pennelin ntlesl be to be ble to' Imitate a signature so cksely that a skilled bank -clerk could not distinguish the forgery from the real one. "Jim" thought it would be easy, and pen, ink and.paper werehrouget for him to• try his hand at imitating the stranger's signature. The result was. so wonderful that the stranger remarked: "You possess a dangerous gift. sir. A •man might. be tempted with it to do much, at a pinch." Till that. moment "Jilt the Penenan"---- theen James Seward, -the- barriseen des- perately in want of money—declared he. bad never thought- of forgery as a means of livelihood.

Girls who work a r e particularly susceptible to fe- male disorders, es- pecially those who are oblig.ed to stand on their feet from morning until night in stores or -facto- ries. Day in and day out thegirl toils, and she is often the bread -winner of the family. Whether she is "tick or well. whether it rains or shines, she must go to her place of em- ployment, perform the duties exacted of her --smile and be agreeable. Among this class the. symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become pain- ful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy. spells, with loss of appetite, until'life is a burden. All of these symptoms point to a derangement of the female organisin -which can be aasily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mlie. Aima Robitaille,78 rile St. Francois, Quebec, Quebc, tells what this great medicine did for her. She writes: Dear airs. Pinkham ' Overwork and long hours at the office, together wane neglected cold, brought on a very serious female trouble until finally I was anabie to go to work.

Mfai Robi MUNI• CIPAL MATTERS. • Ai the time for the municipal elec- tions is rapidly approaching, the inter- est in the matter is becoming more -in- tense, and the probability is we will have a keen contest. In -the last two years the taxes in this townoeikr have increased considerably. This is due chiefly to the increase in the county rate and to the change in the school •law made by the Whitney govern- ment which compels school sections to pay adequate salaries to teachers. A great many rate -payers, however, are taclined to shoulder the responsibitity Brads increase on the township -coun- cil and believe a change at the Coun- cil board would improv; matters. As a result there will likely be a -number of new aspirants for municipal honors. For the reeveship, M. T. Poucher, a 'man of years and much experience in municipal affairs, has annotiocedlim- self as a candidate and Mr. Jas McFar- lane a successful farmer and a mem- ber -of the council for - the past two years, ' is also a candidate.
