STEALING NOTES.
"One form of laxness which cost the
oonfederacy large amount of their paper
notes was their carelessness in ding
the unsigned notes in the offices. The
printers were allowed to take these notes
in any quantities they liked while at
WORK, and one of the men got into the
habit of carrying oil fifty dollar notes
every day. OF course, it was necessary
for him to commit forgery in signing
them, but there were SO many different
signatures ON the notes that 1t was not
easy to detect q spurious one, and this
enterprising individual had taken some
$500, 900 of notes before he was found cut.
Then he was promptly sentenced to be
shot but this was in 1865, when Shcr-
man was close at hand, and the sentence
was never executed. After that, how
ever, detectives were set to watch the
men while at work, and strict account
ing was kept.
"When the confederaoy began to get
into desperate financial straits, it adopt
ed curious shift to pay the printers.
and instead of giving them it's own notes
1t allowed them to print notes bearing
their own name, and rsde enable in con-
federate bills, and the extent TO which
these private notes might be printed was
practically left to the firm itself. But
down to the very day whom Sherman's
men marched into Columbia the work
men who had been brought from Eng
land were paid in gold, as their contracts
called for, and in the last days they were
almost the only persons In the employ of
the confederaoy who did receive their
pay In gold, SO that on every pay dsy
they were besieged by brokers, who
offered them appalling premiums for 1t.
"In April, 1865, when the confederacy
was in it's death throes, the whole out
put of the presses, which had turre out
nearly billion dollars, at that time
would little more than have paid 70 r the
three printing establishments. Then l
got pass from Gen. Lowell putting me
beyond the confederate lines, and made
the best of my way to New York to make
money more slowly but in more durable

The Mouse and the Rabbit.

A mouse endeavored to convince rab-
bit of the advantage of wearing a long tail.
"You," said he, care not admitted to
the best society, like myself, and I do not
doubt this is the sole reason. Certainly a
long tail does give one an air.
While the two friends were arguing a
kite swooped down upon them, and each
betook himself to his hiding place. The
rabbit was fairly hidden, but the mouse
was easily discovered and drawn from his
place of refuge, into which he had not time
to draw his boosted badge Of society. AS
the kite bore off his prey the rabbit re-
marked quietly, "My friend, thu mouse,
would have been better off had he not been
quite SO distinguished. Chicago Record.

any degree of warmth can be maintained

constant supply of fresh air is obtained
from the boiler and engine rooms down

But ali are honest and sincere.
That is why any one can prove fol-
himself the genuineness of Puritana
cures.
Puritana patients get well.
This is fact.
There are reasons for it.
Puritana is the discovery of Prof
Dixi Crosby.
He wasthe greatest New Hampshire
physician of his day.
He was at the head of the Dart.
mouth Medical College for genera
ton.
He used common sense, and found
that disease or health came to the
body through the stomach.
He scientifically compounded a
stomach medicine from the harmless
products of nature.
This is Puritana.
It makes the stomach right.
That is why it makes the health
right.
With a sound stomach no one can
help being well.
That is why Puritana patients get
well.
Chemists say that Puritanais good
medicine,
They also say it is well made.
The materials are the purest and
best that money can buy.
