"That cheek looks suspicious"
with the intuitive caution of the
trained 'hanker said the eerk when
a check came in for $120.28 signed
presumably )y K. H. Luke. "We'll
investigate before we pay." And
they did investigate pud did not
pay.
Mr. Lukes name was forged to a
number of checks. Some came in
to the First National bank last Mon-
day and each day since that checks
have been coming. On Tuesday three
checks came aggregating $217 n:id
yesterday checks came one for $T0
one for $10 another for $70 a snwill
one for $S and still another for $10.
The signature looked very much likj
the signature of E. B. Luke the
well known music dealer of thin
city hut they were not quite smooth
enough to pass over the scrutiny of
the trained banker and none of them
were paid.
As told in the Kansas iCity Post
here is how It all happened:
Five years of toll for two das
of unutterable Joy is the exchange
made by Edward H. Luke soldier of
fortune and gay deceiver. If he had-
n't had the same name as Kdwnr.l
n. Luke a promin"nt and wealthy
resident of Ardmore Okla. things
might have been different.
Liifo? pleaded guilty to forging the
name of the other Luke to a check
for $130 and was sentenced by Judge
Latshaw to five years In the peni-
tentiary. It was on April Fool day that a
thought came to Luke. He was dis-
heveled and worn. He looked like
the sad requiem of a misspent life
but something of the spirit of April
fool came over him. 'He slouched
Into tho Jenkins Music company
store and told them he was Edward
P.. Luke from Ardmore Okla. He
was in truth a "hard looking cus-
tomer" but In business one soon
remembers not to go too far on
looks.
Somebody shook hands with Mr.
Luke and started to talk of tiie
weather while Mr. Jenkins rushed
bark to the desk to look up Hrad-
street's opinion on Luke.
Mr. Jenkins there spied a record
that was almost too good to be tr ie
It read something like this: "Ed-
ward n. Luke music store Ardmore
Okla. A'AAAAAAA." Translated this
means "highest-rating-highest-eredit.
good-for-a-milllon-if-hefcays-so; word
is-better-than - a bond-because-you-migiht-lose-a-bond."
"Sell him the store if he wants 1t"
shouted Mr. Jenkins to the creJlt
man.
And the credit man did the best
he could. He sold $700 worth when
he stopped to 'breathe.
After tha'; It was easy sailing.
Luke sauntered out to Browning
Kl-ig & Co
The King Sounded Good.
There was something alout that
King part that appealed to Luke and
when lie came out he was attired
like a prince. The credit man at
Browning-King had called up Jen-
kins and received the reply "Oh.
he's worth a million if he says he
wants it."
Luke went out and bought some
diamonds. First he visited Hirsch-
field's then he called at Martin
Brenner's. He was sparkling iMke a
cut glass display window when lie
emerged and the jewelers had fat
checks and the Jenkins recommenda-
tion. This was almost pitiful to Luke.
He wanted something more and "he
determined a valet was the proper
thing. So he hired a lonely negro
to play the part and wherever Luke
went ho waa followed by the ne-
gro servant.
He stopped at the Baltimore and
every time he handed out a check
he remarked "Today is April Fool
Isn't it? You want to remember
that." And in chorus before Judge
Latsha.v this morning they said they
diJ.
Didn't Like the Music.
Luke went to the Torino cafe and
didn't like the music so he sent
back to Jenkins and got a grapho-
phone which was presented to the
proprietor.
At the Baltimore he wanted his
valet to sleep In the same room on
a cot as Ihe didn't know how to get
along without him but the clerk
objected.
The police found Luke's hobo
clothes in the check room at the
Baltimore and he was made to don
them while the new raiment was re-
turned to its claimants.
Now Luke sans valet sans exqui-
site raiment and with only bitter
thoughts for company Is in the coun-
ty jail waiting for the next expedi-
Hon to Jtfferson City.

MILLIONS OF SEEDLING TREES.
Reforestation Being Done by a Prai-
rie State Curious Enough
'Chicago April 7. 'Ite-forestution in
eastern states largely has been done
from a prairie state a curious fact
disclosed by shipments through Chi-
cago of millions of white pine and
spruce trees grown in Illinois by a
man who has devoted a lifetime to
the study of evergreens and how to
grow them. In one year It Is said the
shipments chiefly to New England
made by D. Hill amounted to three
million seedling trees. On his farm
at Dundee the long fuzzy rows of
pines spruces hemlocks larohes and
other tvergreens comprise billons
of seedlings destined to be transplant-
ed to the rugged slopm of the White
Mountains and tho Appalachians. The
seed is planted in a hot house and
transplanted to the open ground
when a few inches thigh. Each kind
by itself Is allowed to grow in rows
so thick that they are one long
fuzzy mass each tre shoot serving
as a protection for its neighlior until
they attain a tdze wnen transplanting
Is necessary. The depleted sock of
Christmas trees for New England
and other stat s now is being re-
p'enished annually at the rate of mil-
lions? if not billions the growing
of white pine and other trees fo'
lumber having been found more prof-
itable than growing corn although
"the crop" can be harvested only
twice in a lifetime.

MISSING WORDS REACH HIGH WA-
TER MARK FOUR WORDS
WORTH $1.25 EACH.
Out of at leimt one hundred lists of
words sent in to the missing word
man since Monday not one contained
a correct list of the four words omit
ted from the- page of ads on that day.
Many however got two out of the
four words and some got right near to
tiie two that were needed to complete
the list.
We felt positive that after reading
the tip dropped yesterday that some-
one would send in a correct list today
and claim the four dollars due lust
night but none did and today the
award runs up higher than It has yet
been five dollars for the first correct
list received after today's Issue ol
Tiie Ardmorcite.
Now you no doubt would be will-
ing to work hard all day long for this
amount of money here's a chance to
make it for a little perseverance Just
the close lvcrusal of n page of ads.
Yesterday and this morning a nnm-
ler of replies have been received
from men who are willing to test their
skill as proofreaders in an effort to
pick up four dollars. Today no doubt
there will be more of tho masculine
suasion get In tho game 'cause some
men think Hint five dollars Is more

sess at one and the same time with-
out the opportunity of taking It from
the man's trousers while he sleeps.
The salt outlined yesterday evident-
ly was not proicrly applied by those
adopting it and the contest man hard-
ly knows what kind of a tip to give
those who are working eo hard to win
this nice piece of pin-money really
enough to pay a week's board. All
kinds of words have been suggested
by those competing for tho cash
premiums and when wo compare
them with the four innocent words
we have purposely left out of the
page tho wonder to us Is how in the
world they can be so nearly right and
yet lie dead wrong. There we un-
intentionally used the two words
needed by many who tried to supply
them but failed and so right here
In this story these two words apiear
In type simple unassuming words
that you use hundreds of times a day
in fact they form an expression
made by most every person wiio
speaks the English language and all
other languages as far as we know.
Remember that these four words
are now worth a five dollar bill and
provided no correct list is received be
fore Sunday they will net the finder
six dollars.
(let busy right now we're anxl
ous to change these words and mnke
it easier for the contestants.
