Money Ont Is Not Money In.

secretary Window says that the debt
has really decreased twenty millions
though his report shows ii TO have in
creased seven millions; the ex-
planation being that the pension
agents have drawn many millions,
which they have not yet spent. The
secretary counts the government money
in their hands as in his. Obviously this
cannot be done The secretary indeed
has no adequate means of knowing how
much of the money he has parted with
remains unexpended and at any rate
the debts exist for which the money was
drawn, and how can the United States
he said TO own the money which II has
already paid TO its agents in discharge
of its liabilities? The secretary might
as well count, as I'm the trcasury,the Gus
tom dues on goods in bonded warehouses,
that lac will get as soon as they go out; or
upon the goods In ships in port that he
will get as soon as they are unloaded.
If he includes in his debt statement, rs
resources, moneys in the hands of dis
bursting agents, clearly he should count
upon the other side, ms indebtedness the
liabilities which this money Is to be, used
to discharge.

a VERY honest woman of Massachusetts
has Just secured an interesting opinion from
the treasury department. She was robbed
Just before sailing for America and bought
clothing in England to replace what had
been stolen from her and claimed that ghc
should be allowed to bring in the new
outfit free of duty as wearing apparel in
actual use.' The department rules IA strict
construction of the statute and as the cloth
ing was new and not in actual use II must
stand duty. II the Massachusetts woman
had followed the common practice she
would have gotten in her goods without
the least trouble and at small expense. To
be sure prevarcatiun and bribery would
be necessary, but il Is very rare for tho
most dignihcd aud proud of European
travellers Ia stop at preVarication and
bribery when IL Is IL question of smuggling
In their foreign purchases without the
high tariff which many of them defend
as n blessing. Shortly before reaching
this side an official distributes among
the passengers a blank form on which
must be declared under oath the character
of goods that the traveller is bringing into
the country. The tourist under the guild
anoe of friendly old traveller ovcrcomes
| all scruplss and usually declares all his
! goods to be Of a non-dutinblc character.
| The boxes of gloves, the laces and dresses
are all for the time wearing apparel in nc
tual use, though deliberately purchased for
| friends at home. Then at the custom house
a couple of gold pieces drop into the out
stretched hand Of an inquisitiyo official
and the trunk straps are barely looSoncd
and reiastened. The total volume of this
petty smuggling business must bo cnor-
| nous and its demoralizing effect is appal-
ing. II is Il disgraceful fact that the Office
of customs inspector at the great steamship
docks seems to bo a dishunurabln one, and
that the very people who are bost able TO
stand the brunt of our high tarin, and who
by position and training should give eN-
amplos of a high sense of honor, will glcc-
fully practice these small frauds.

Cape May, the Oldest of the New
Jersey seashore resorts, has stood up
under the storm much better than its
younger rivals, which have been nearly
washed away, all the way up the
coast. Cape May has plume
in its cap. Our ancestors knew
what they were about In selecting
1t as their bathing place by the sea.
Atlantic City owed its origin to its prox-
unity TO Philadelphia, and all the other
little places sprang from the real estate
speculation which starts town with a
railroad, big hotel, and an excur-
sion house. Cape May, from its
years and deserts, has a record which
none Of these youngsters can reach. To
its unrivalled beach is now added its
demonstrated safety you can go there
with fair prospect Of getting back
alive, barring the mosquitoes.

How q Columbia, 8. c., Lady Utilized 1t to
Good Advantage.
When the Union troops were in Co
lumbia, S. c., the mayor of the city
went to General Sherman's headquar-
tiers, and mentioned that there was a
lady in the city who professed to be a
special friend of his. On hearing her
name, General Sherman remembered
her as belonging to a family with the
members of which he had been intimate
twenty years before, and he at once
proposed to the mayor that they should
call upon her.
On entering the yard, noticed ducks
and chickens, and general air of peace
and comfort that was really pleasant to
behold at that time of universal desola-
tion. The lady met US at the door. and
after inquiring about her relatives, l
could not help saying that was pleased
to see that our men had not handled her
house and premises as roughly as was
their wont.
81 owe it to you, General" she an
swered.
'.Not at all 1 didn't know you We're
here till few minutes ago"
She reiterated that she was indebted
to me for the perfect safety of her house
and property.
"You remember" she. said, ''when
you were at our house in 1915, you gave
me this book" and she handed me the
volume in question, on the fy-leaf of
which was written: '.To Miss -, with
the compliments of W. 7. Sherman,
First Lieutenant Third Artillery"
She then explained that, as our army
approached Columbia, there was
doubt in her mind whether the terrible
Sherman who was devasting the land
was W. T. Sherman, L. w. Sherman,
both known to be Generals in the
Northern army; but in the supposition
that he was her old acquaintance, she
armed herself with this book, and
awaited the crisis.
Soon the shouts about the. market
house announced that the Yankees had
come; very soon men were seen rum
ming up and down the streets; a parcel
of them poured over the fence, and be-
gan TO chase the chickens and ducks,
and to enter her house. She observed
one large man, with full beard, who ex-
ercised some authority, and to him she
appealed in the name of ''his General"
"What, do you know of Uncle Billy?"
answered the man.
why" said she, "when he was
young man, he used to be our friend in
Charleston, and here is a book he gave
me-"
The officer or soldier took the book,
looked at the inscription, and turning to
his fellows, said:
''Boys, that's so. That's Uncle Billy's
writing"
He at once commanded the party to
stop pillaging, and left a man in charge
of the house, to protect her until the
regular provost-guard should be estab-
lished.
asked her if the regular guard or
sentinel had been equally good to her.
She assured me that he was a very nice
young man; that he had been telling
her all about his family in Iowa, and
that at that very Instant he was in an
other room minding the baby.-Youth's

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
How Ono of the Boys Secured al Ample
Supply of Pork.

was once placed in a predicament
at Helena, Ark, in 1868. One dark
night l was on picket about two miles
from camp. 1t had been raining all
day, and was somewhat moist under
foot, as any one who was there will
very well remember. There were alli-
gators about, and their splashing in the
river and bayous was not pleasant to
hear, and the idea of being crunched
up and swallowed at one gulp was not
agreeable to contemplate. Once in
awhile one would be found out on land,
but not often. However, in wet times,
when the bottoms were covered with
patches of water from one to six feet
deep, their splashing could be heard
sometimes for miles as they would go
rowing about in search of food. AT
such times soldier out on picket in
swampy section would have a chance
to feel his hair stand on end four or
five times in one night, and when morn
ing came he would feel six or eight
years older and would hunt up look
ing-glass to see if his hair was white.
On this particular night l heard a
dozen in as many different directions,
and one or two between me and camp.
Finally l heard one big fellow approach
ing me, and from the way in which he
grunted and smacked his teeth, he evil
IDENTIFY had me on his mind. heard
his splash, splash in the pine leaves
and slush, nearer and nearer,
till he was but few rods distant. My
hair fairly lifted my cap, but held my
breath and kept silent, hoping that pos
sibly not having scented me, he might
yet turn aside; but no, slowly and with
much grunting he came directly to-
ward me till he was scarcely ten feet
distant 1 knew it was no longer of
use to keep still. My only recourse
seemed to lay in firing at him and TAX
ing to my heels hoping to strike tree
softly enough not to butt my senses
away, and small enough to climb. Do
not forget that it was pitch dark, but
all the same, by that keen sense which
danger always brings to man, To-
Gated the position of the reptile. 1
raised my gun silently, and in obedi-
ence to military orders, shouted "halt"
and fired. Immediately, and before /
could retreat, there arose one of the
most unearthly squeals 1 ever listened
to; just one, no more. There was a
''wah, wah," gasp, a little rustic of
leaves, and whatever it was, was dead.
Curiosity got the better of fear imme-
diately, and / struck match to find I
had bagged one of the finest shoats
roaming in the woods. Our mess had
spare ribs, tenderloin, boiled ham and
cold pork for a week.-C a. Headrick-
son, in american Tribune.
