The ceremony waa performed and while the couple waited the preacher filled out the cer- tIdeate of marriage SIM aadeed fhe widow to Mtgn It a* a witness. BIih algned what she thought waa the eertiflreto, never thinking to auapect the preacher of tny duplicity. The preacher then foldod the paper and handed It to the young groom and, ae they stood waiting, ho gave them a lecture on their respective duties to each other in tlirir future partnership, on the sanctity of the marital rela tion and on the virtue of forbearance. "And above ail." he concluded, "let a i-ro be a religious air always In your me." . The couple went away and after pray er* the proa<-h«»r and Ills wife retired for the night. The next morning they went away, after offering to pay for their ac commodation. which the widow refused to accept. A short time thereafter Mrs. IfafTler received notice from the Farmers* flank of Klnora that her note for $1,000, duly executed by her and flue at a certain date, was In Its hands for collection. She hastened to the bank to asssure them that there must be some mistake. She had no not.- out anywhere. Hut tho bankers produc'd the note ant' sin* had to arknnwh'dKo that ft waa her signa ture upon it. "Hut I never signed It, unless I did It In my sleep," she sold. For n long time she could nut remember when she could have signed It. The bunk officials told her to think hack over overy time she had signed her name In iho last month. Hhe did so mid told of the Instance of her signing tho marriage cer tificate. 'That's It." exclaimed tho bank cash ier. "That's the omne gang of swindlers that has been working all through In diana." When she thought she was signing n marriage certificate, she was signing a S |e for $1,000, which the alleged breach- kept concealed beneath the other pa pers, only exposing to her view the bot tom edge of It, upon which she affixed her signature. The next day he took this note to the bank and discounted It find disappeared. Mra. Ilnffler will havo to pay the note. Lightning Hod Swindle. This la .the very newest "con gome" to be worked upon the honest farmers of this country. It Is an evolution from and an Improvement on the old lightning rod fraud, by which farmers of the southwest were swindled out of enor mous sums that probably aggregated millions of dollars. That also was work ed by Inducing the farmer to sign a pa per which afterward turned up a* his note for from $100 to $ft,oog. Miss May Heavy entertained a party of young frienda at a beautiful Christmas on Vfnevllle avenue. Covers were laid for twelve at the beautifully appointed table, which had a lovely centerpiece of fruits and flow er*. and the bonbon* and crystallsed fruits all carried out a pretty red and green scheme.

Tills was forgery, as well as getting money by false pretenses, and was a very dangerous gi\me, but very few of II* operator* were over An Improvement on that swindle w as worked more recently In certain parts of Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas during tho oil and gas booms there. It wan customary for tho producers of oil and gas to travel through the country that waa supposed to he underlaid by oil and J rns and get the farmers to sign mineral rases, which entitled the operator to prospect for them and to pay tho In nil owner 10 !*>r cent of whatever was found and aold. A swindler, pretending that be xm an agent for nn oil or gsa company, would get lh* farmer to sign wlmt ho thought wo* a contract for the mineral rights to the oil under Ida land, but tin* docu ment would turn up In the local bunk with his signature to It. The law gives the victim no redresa In such cases, even though It Is plain that he was swindled. All It Is necessary for the holder of the note to prove la that the signature to the note Is genuine and the note Is cottsettblO. winter m man travelod through Kansas selling aeed for a wonderful new flower which had Just been Imported from Si beria.

The farmers did not know thst there Is no chrysanthemum that grows “ vine and so he sold a packet of ee II rents In nearly every house he *d. When the eeeds were planted In the enrlna they come up ns common nut clover, but by that time the swindler waa far away. Swindling the Farmers. There hns boon many seed swindles, some of them on gigantic lilies. On*_Pf the flrst amt moot successful of tlisn* was the "Russian oats swindle. It waa worked from New 3ork state.
