MISSING TREASURY NOTES.
Mysterious Theft of $500 in the
Treasury Department

Mysterious Theft of $500 in the
Treasury Department
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--Another irregu-
larity has been discovered in the treasury
department, arising out of the mysterious
disappearance of ten sheets of paper, each
containing four notes Of the denomination
of IS and representing $500 in all. These
sheets were included II the regular delivery
from the bureau of engraving and printing
to the Unite / States treasury last Tuesday
morning. The packages were counted and
reported to be correct in every particular
before leaving the bureau. On reaching
the treasu er's office they were again
counted and reported correct.
ONLY NEEDED STAMPING.
The notes were all completed with the
exception Of being stamped with the treas
ury seal, and when that is added they are
ready for ISSUE Alter the packages in
question had been verified at the treasurer's
office, they were turned over to the sealing
division for completion. They were counted
there and found to be short ten Sheets
These were numbered in regular order, and
were in tho middle of the package. The
officer in charge Of the division refused to
receipt for these sheets, and word was sent
to the bureau for an explanation.
NO TRACE OF THEM FOUND.
A thorough investigation was instituted,
and, although two days have passed, no
trace whatever of the missing sheets has
been discovered. While it is possible that
the shee were misl id and may be recov-
cred, it is more than probable that they
were abstracted by some one thoroughly
familiar with the method of handling them.
The notes will readily pass for money, for
they lack only the treasury seal to be legal
tenders

That person who has lost his ability to en-
Joy the simple. unpretentious, commonplace

men and women OF the world who must keep
themselves toned up with unusual excite
ments, who no longer find anything to laugh
at, anything to weep over, and who are not
to be moved by any ordinary joys and sor-
rows. These people have sawdust hearts
They cannot smile over the spectacle of little
children dancing, over simple home happen
ings, over boys at play Everything for
them must be in the superlative degree, and
that is very sad indeed If we teach our
children nothing else We should surely teach
them to think of things outside their own
home circle, and to understand the subtle
sweetness of that touch Of nature that makes
the whole world kin.
