Mail Sacks That Have Been In an Acci-
dent Are Sought After.


dent Are Sought After.
A group of railway postal clerks, just
in from a run, stood in the transfer Of
fee at the Pennsylvania station the
other morning, waiting for the cable
car to start up in order to get home,
says the Washington News.
'"Tell you, felt a bit scary on this
trip" observed one of the men as he
knocked the ashes from his pipe and
glanced at the clock.
'What was the matter? Inspector on
the carp" asked one. "Flat wheel?"
queried another.
'Worse than that. Forgot my red.
Left it in the Office. First time for six
months"
where did you get yours?" asked
the tall man with the sandy beard.
'I've had it long time. Cub gave
it to me, and he got it from the Fat
Nancy wreck" was the reply.
Just then the whirl of the cable be-
came audible in the clear morning air,
and the mail singers made run for
the avenue.
Whats red?" was asked of clerk
who was still lounging in the room.
For reply he opened his valise and
drew out dingy red mail sack. 1t
was plain canvas pouch, such as is
used for mail matter of the lower
classes, and, save for the color, did not
differ from any one of the 100,O0O or SO
that the government owns.
'Once in awhile we have a little
smashup, you know" he said, ''and oc-
casionally some of the boys get hurt,
or worse. Our cars are pretty danger
GUS places in the event of an accident,
and, if there is any damage, why, it's
usually felt most in the mail or ex-
press car. 1t isn't often that they
are serious, but now and then one of
the boys gets smashed, and then there
is naturally some blood around, and it
gets on the mail sacks In the old days
the government very considerably
used to put such sacks out of use, for
you can't get the stain out. Then some
genius conceived the notion of dyeing
them red, but that only served to mark
them.
Every business has it's supersti-
tions," he continued, "and l guess we
are no exception, for some of us have
an idea that 1t is lucky to have red in
the car. / don't know why, I'm sure,
unless it is on the principle that the
same sack will not be in two bad acci-
dents So when one comes our way we
freeze onto it, and try to keep it handy.
"Of course" he continued, rather
shamefacedly, sit seems like a queer
kind of feeling to have q reminder of
that sort around, but it's all in the
way you look at it, and there are lots
of things just as foolish other people
do"

a fne burst of speed at the end, but In the

trial heat of the hundred-yard dash Wefers
beat Crum by a few inches at the tape in
10 1-5 seconds. The Western man had evil

! TO MOVE THE CROPS.
Treasury Department Busy Sending
Ont Small Notes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The furnishing
of small notes and silver dollars TO meet the
demand for money to move the crops Is
likely to absorb the energies of the Treas
ury Department during the next few weeks
more than the demand for gold The de-
mand Is not so active this year as 1t has
sometimes been and Is not expected to be,
because the national banks better
equipped than usual with small notes. their
surplus reserves are larger and the treas
ury itself has been making its recent ship
ments OF money in notes of s. and $40.
There Is a large supply of both these de-
nominations in the currency reserve vaults
of the treasury. The supply of notes for
81 and 81 Is not so large, but can be in
creased IL necessary. There Is little discrsm-
ination In the demands on the treasury as
to the character of the paper currency sent
out. so long as Ii Is in new bills for small
denominations. The usual policy of the
department Is to unload silver certificates
as far possible. to follow these by Sher-
man treasury notes, and to retain the old
legal-tender notes until the last. The diff
fusion of small Sherman notes in distant
parts OF the country prevents their presen-
tation at the subtreasuries for redemption
In gold and the boarding of the legal-ten-
ders cuts of in a measure the excess OF
currency redeernable in gold at New York.
