tablo cans There wero ut Icast 5000 In
tho pile, ono Of which Jim selected ma
safcty deposit box on tho theory that rats
arc unable to bite through tin. After caro-.
fully placing his money In tho can Jim hid
1t In tho rear Of the pile In such manner
that he could easily locate that particular
can. Hero tho money remained undlsturb-
ed for another two years.
One night n convict "hid outn-thst f.
he was missing when tho line had been
counted in Mt the prison CUTE This affair
did not concern Jim directly, Tor he was
safely accounted for in his cell But the
guards in searching for tho hiding convict
invaded the limehouse and threw the 4, 900
empty cans into hollow bnck Of tho build
Ing, thinking that the prisoner might hive
concealed himself under tho pilc.
When jim went to work next morning
md discovered the condition of the bank,
he nearly tainted. Truly tho way Of the
wealthy convict Is hard, yet Jim did not
despair. His money was somewhere In
that half aero Of cana scattered about but
which Gun was tho question that bothered
the secretive Mr.. Winters. Tho yard was
full Of idle convicts on the incapacitatcd
list, and 1t would never do for Jim to sys.
tcmatically pick up can after can, oKa mine
the interior and place them In pile by
themselves. His follow felons. having
nothing else to do, might join In tho search
and find the money.
So Jim oRnin resorted to stealth and
strategy. From time to time he mingled
casually with the cans, occasionally pick
ing one over by accident and STOPPING list
lossiy to SEQ II 1t contained anything. Day
aftor day, outwurdly calm, but raging In
wsrdly and tossing wildly at night, Jim
toyed with tho tomato cana Ever and
anon he carried O couple into the lime
house as II to experiment. with new shade
Of whitewash. Tho investigation went on
for weeks, and 90 cunningly did the con-
vict continue that he nevor onco excited
suspicion. In time Jim fell upon the right
cnn, but he was almost physical wreck
and was laid up from mental md physical
exhaustion for over q wcok. With some
paste mntlo Of prison bread Jim stuck the
ragged bills, back down, to shoots Of the
pink tissue paper forming the inner pack-
age or wrapping for prison smoking TO-
bacco. Then no sent for Warden Auil, told
tho story Of the mutilnted currency and
asked the warden to have the bills redeem
cd. Tho warden ia holding tho $3.50 in
trust for Jim should he 1.-Two to complete
his sentence But 1914 Is long way of,
and Jim is 70 years old

A GREAT L.EADER.

"a IRlSA.l IflIADEls.
He has met his opponents ct every
point of assault and has waged the
war OF Democracy with q skill of argu-
ment and power of eioquence, and with
dignity and moderation of statement,
which shows him to be the foremost of
livir Democrats EIe Is worthy lead
er of the party OF Jefferson and jack
son, and not in all our history has any
party had a leader of whom it had bet
ter cause to be proud. I have not a
doubt that Virginia will give him her
electoral vote. and there is good reason
to believe that he will have a majority
in the electoral college. Be this as II
may. the Democratic party, which was
supine and impotent in the spring of the
present year, acquired new life and
strength upon the nomination of Bryan
and the adoption of the platform on
which lie stands at Chicago. The peo-
pie know that real Democracy, and not a
sham. appeals for their confidence and
suffrages. They know they have lead
er who does not say one thing and mean
another. The Straddlers and the two
faced who leave us will have their places
filled by earnest men who believe in our
principles and who will give US loyal
support and service. The Democratic
party was never stronger in IT'S vitality
than IL is now. And It's future has been
assured by its realignment on true
Democratic principles and by its nom-
nation of William ]. Bryan for Presi-
dent.
l cannot close without expressing my
admiration for the great service you
have rendered to our cause In your able
Journal and at the same time my E.a.e-
ful sense of appreciation for yoac per-
sonal Xii mess To me.
