Uncle SANS Conscience FUND.

In the vaults Of the United States
Treasury at Washington there Is the
sum Of 1920, 1926. which is entered
upon the books of the Treasurer as
Miscellaneous receipts from persons
unknown" and which sum constitutes
what is known as the Conscience
Fund.-" IS it is supposed to come from
people who have at some time defraud-
ed the government and who wish to
make restitution by refunding the
amounts of their peculations.
This conscience fund.-" said Treas
ury official, "has been steadily increas-
ing for sixty years, until now it reaches
the enormous sum of nearly $3.50, 900.
The first money OF the kind received by
the Treasury was $3.50 received in 1927
from an unknown person, who explain
ed in his letter that he was refunding
for some customs he had once defrauded
the government of. Since that time re-
mittances of all amounts ranging from
8 cents to $1,000 have been coming in.
They come from all over the country,
and even from foreign lands.
"a great deal of this money is receiv-
ed from priests and ministers. who write
that some sinner in their parish request
ed them to send it in. During the small
pox epidemic in Canada a Catholic
priest sent us draft for $50 which a
dying Canadian had given him, confes-
sing to have stolen that amount from
the United States government, but not
giving the details. Frequently nothing
accompanies the remittance to indicate
what it is for, but generally line OF
two of explanation is given.
''Another time we received o letter
containing four 2 cent stamps, but not a
line of explanation. This, believe, is
the smallest contribution ever sent in.
Another letter, postmarked at Kansas
City, was received, inclosing ten $5
bills, with note saying, This money
belongs to the government
"In January we received an official
envelope postmarked at New York, and
containing $1,000 in bills-one of ST.
600, two of $500 and five of $780,
They were all cut in two, with a small
piece cut from the center, and the word
cancelled written across the face. A
note incloscd ran thus:
Here are $500 in United States
bills, mutilated SO us to insure the gov
ernment's getting the money. Whatso-
ever man sows that shall he reap. |
have sowcd the wind, and am reaping
the whirlwind.' This is next to the final
payment due. God grant me a speedy
release.
I'VE had received $500 dollars from
New York shortly before. and circum-
stances connected with the remittances
indicated that they were both from the
same party. IN Y. Sun.

Henry George. the writer on economi-

Washington, is at work on his memoirs.
There are over sixty thousand per-

Gen. FarRsworth, who was in the

duck-hunt on Maryland waters, says
that the President handles a breech-

John c. Calhoun is on record as hav-

There are American hams, writes Mr..
Sala, which when boiled in champagne
are palatable; but, as rule, both ham
and bacon in America, as in Australia,
are very nasty--hard, intolerably salt, a
great deal too lean, and clumsily
smoked.
The word salary comes from the Latin
salGrian', literally salt money, from sal,
salt which was part of the pay of
Roman soldiers. So the, young men
who say jocularly, when they draw their
pay, that they are taking their sugar"
are wrong; they are getting their
''salt"
The longevity of women who are for
tunate enough to marry soldiers is
shown in the fact that our pension rolls
bear the names of about 10000 widows
of the veterans of 1912. The brides Of

quite surpasses belief

By several witnesses Mr.. Barker
proved the death of Alice's father to

Captain Harris was then called.
Aftera few preliminary questions, he
was asked to state the precise time of
Andrew Hermon's death.
EXACTLY four minutes before six
o'clock on the morning of the 25th of
December" was the answer.
"Are you quite certain Of that?" Mr..
Barker continued.
"Quite; it is entered Oh the log-book." "
Mr.. Barker paused q moment.
SIS there any necessity for proceed

opposite counsel, with winning smile.
"You have quite made out our case.

"If you please, Brother Tompkins,"
Mr.. Barker replied, with killing polite
ness, and the self-possessing air of q
man who, If beaten, didn't know it yet,
"I have not quite finished with the
witness"
"Be good enough, Captain Harris, to
tell us where your vessel was at the
time of Andrew Hermon's death?"
"In latitude-degrees and-minutes
south, and longitude-degrees and

"When it was o'clock on the even
