Government Gold.

1t is contrary TO law for private
individual to buy gold from the mines

severe punishment. This somewhat
singular law is being enforced rigidly,
and quite number of well-to-do peo-

The term was drawing to a close.
when one day Professor Henderson an
nounced to his class that they could
bring their own copies OF Horace" to
the classroom on the next day. They
would do some reading at sight, he ex-
planned, and the class would be allowed
to use what notes were to be found in
their books. The next day, therefore,
Wilson took his Horace" to class.
The passage which was assigned to
him was the one which the former
owner had found so difficult and had
sought relief for his feelings by writ
ing Name" and "Mollie" on the mar
gin OF the page. Wilson, however,
buckeled in manfully, and when called
on translated with some fuency and
sat down.
The professor looked over the top
OF his glasses and said, rather sternly:
Il do not understand, Mr.. Wilson,
how you obtain the meanings that you
give to some of the words"
Wilson hesitated a moment, and then
happy thought struck him. Some
thing that he had seen in the notes
came to his mind.
II think, professor" he said, that
my text must differ from yours"
All sand the professor. Let me
see your text"
The professor took the book and
glanced over the page. His expression
changed in a moment. Old memories
seemed to come up, and he leaned his
head on his hand and looked steadily
at the book.
Finally he raised his eyes, and, hand
Ing the book to Wilson, said
You are quite right, Mr.. Wilson"
After the recitation was over, Pro-
fessor Henderson called Wilson to his
desk.
Il should like, Mr.. Wilson," he said,
ito obtain that copy Of Horace from
you when you are through with It,
il you have no objection to parting
with it. It's an odd edition, you
know" he added, in explanation, and
II should like to have it to compare

Several years ago a young man.
whom We will call II was employed as
night operator at a small town in IL
linois.
The second night of his service a cir
Gus arrived in town and with il great
many farmers from the surrounding
country. II went on duty at o'clock
in the evening. About an hour later a
stranger came in 10 send a telegram,
AS soon as he had written and paid
for the message the operator sat down
to the instrument and proceeded to tick
of the telegram, which was brief, and
read, not including address and sig
nature:
Have sean the party send NEE the
muney."
When the operator had nearly finish
ed sending the message the receiving
operator telegraphed back, What you
givin us?" referring to the spelling OF
the message.
The rules of the Western Union
Company prohibit any conversation on
the wire between operators, but never
theless this rule is frequently broken.
1t is also a strict rule that messages
shall always be sent and words spelled
as they are written, even if, as is often
the case. the words are spelled wrong
ly.
But at the time H took this job he
was as ignorant Of these rules as an
Indian, so to the operators query as
to what he was "givin him" he replied
thusly: Make it read: Have seen the
party, send me the money"
That's more like it," said the re-
ceiving operator.
Il guess the bloke that wrote it
never saw the inside of school," said
the sending operator.
The next moment he was chilled to
the marrow by the soft words that
waited DER his shoulder.
Young fellow, that was a cipher
message. l am a detective and also
an operator, | heard your remarks on
the wire, and if you don't send that
message the way | wrote it | shall sue
your company for 1000. And, further
more, if you don't take back and apollo
gize for the remarks you made about
my schooling | will pound your head
Off" These words came from the
"bloke" that wrote the message.

ogy was forthcoming and the telegram
sent again according to the "bloke's"
