WhuIe EumiIic.. Sometime,

Sometimes whole families have to be sent
to their former homes or to places where
they expect to better their condition. 1t
frequently happens that families come here.
having been sent from other cities. on their
way to distant points, and the sanitary
officer finds il cheaper to furnish trans
portaticr than to keep them here depend
cnt upon the District Runaway boys who
come to Washington from other places
nave to he sent to their homes at the eX-
pense of the District and children who
are brought here and abandoned have to
be treated in a like manner Persons who
call and make requests, sometimes de-
mands, OF the sanitary officer. are all of the
opinion that there is unlimited fund for
this purpose. This is evident from, the
nature of some of the requests. Many of
the aDOicantS think nothing Of asking to
be sent thousand miles more away,
and become Indignant when told that it is
impossible to grant such requests.
Every morning during the past week
Sanitary Officer Frank has found several
prospective travellers in his office upon his
arrival there. and almost every was
anxious to get away for the holidays.
Wanted to Enjoy the Turkey.
A coored woman who was on hand early
this morning made the modest request for
a rourd-triD ticket between here and her
home.
This is rot a railroad ticket Office" she
was told.
Il know that" she said. but amt it the
place where free tickets are given?'
Sometimes"
II knew it,
What do you want with the ticket?" she
was asked.
why, man, everybody likes to spend
Christmas at home and eat turkey with
the family"
Where do your people live?"
Down in Charles county"
The sanitary officer expressed no sur
prise. and the disappointed applicant. as
she was leaving said she would go down
there even If she had to pay her own fare.
Another request that was denied was for
a ticket to bring a boy here from San
Francisco. The boy. ii was explained had
gone out there to work in a stable of race
horses. He taken sick and Is out of
employment. and his mother was DESTROYS
Of having him come home.
When Congress furnishes an unlimited
sum for transportation the sanitary officer
will be able to grant more requests.

A S2o,ooo,ooo FRAUD.

That Is What the Bridal Package In the
Government Treasury Is Declared to Be.
II hate to shatter pet delusion by
giving the facts in the case, said a
former clerk in the treasury department
at Washington, but fraud ought to be
exposed regardless Of consequences, and
the greatest fraud know of is the ia
nous bridal package Of the treasury
vaults.
II say famous, but it isn't famous in
2 general sense. It is famous only
fmong bridal couples. / don't know
how it is, but every bridal couple that
go to Washington on their wedding
tour-and 1t seems to me that about
nine-tenths Of the bridal couples Of the
country go to Washington-know all
about that package, and the bride can't
rest until she goes through the regular
routine connected with it. No visit to
Washington by stranger is complete
without an inspection of the treasury
vaults, but if his or her visit is nom
bridal one the fraud Of the package
isn't played.
II don't know who it was in the de.
partment that first imposed it on a bri-
dal pair, but 1t went, and it grows in
popularity every year. When the couple
enter the vault, the man in charge, aft
er few preliminary and perfunotory
remarks, reaches up on a shelf, takes
down package Of notes, and tells the
bride to take it In her hand, If she
hasn't asked for it the very first thing.
He then tells her that the package con-
tains $40, 900, 900 in treasury notes, all
in denomination Of $40, 900 each. The
bride is delighted, Of course, and when
she goes back home she talks for weeks
about having held $40, 1000, 900 in her
hand all at one time The bridegroom
can't resist enjoying that same pleas
ure, and he fondles the package awhile.
and the pair go away blissful over the
experience, while the treasury vault
man tosses the package back on the
shelf and chuckles.
''Now this is all simply gigantic
fraud on the young people. The treas
ury at Washington does not hold that
amount Of money. The bulk of the gov
ernment money is at the subtreasury in
this city That bridal package is a
gay deoeiver. 1t does contain notes to
the amount of $40, 1000, 900, of the de-
nomination Of $40, 900 each, but they re
not money, because they're not signed.
So instead Of having held in their hands
&s0, 600, 900 the happy couple have
fondled simply package that repre-
sented no more value than the price Of
the paper and the printing OH 1t. It
may be cruel to shatter this pretty delu.
sion, but my conscience forbids me to
carry the burden Of its concealment any
longer; hence these facts New York

It seems incredible that human being
could exist a quarter Of a century with.
out wink of sleep, but old John Suite
Is q Christian man, and he is willing
to make oath to the truth Of his asser
tion. The members of his large family
also declare that they have never once
caught him asleep, although he lies
down now and then for the rest and re-
freshment Of his body. During the long,
quiet hours Of the night, while others
lie still and comfortable under the re-
juvenating process Of natures sweet
restorer," Mr.. Suite rolls and worries
and vainly woos the drowsy goddess, or
else In desperation strikes out across
the fields and tramps till dawn. when
he returns to his home, eats his break
fast and goes to his work.
His nights are not all so spent how
ever. Some Of them he passes In COM
parative comfort, lying at full length,
gazing at the stars or closing his eyes
to enjoy awake the gentle dreams which
come to those who slumber.
Mr.. Suite is nearly 10 years Of age
and Is man Of wonderfully strong con-
stitution. He attributes his insomnia to
the undue use Of quinine. Twenty y-five
years ago he took 80 grains Of quinine
at one dose, and as q result there came
a ringing In his head which has never
ceased. He says the noise pursues him
day and night and renders sleep impos-
dble. Stutte Is pointed out to strangers
as "the man who never sleeps" and su-
perstitious neighbors warn their chill
dren never to come In his reach, as one
touch Of the old mans hand would
affiict them with lifelong insomnia.

A workmsn and HI. Work.

The wife Of friend Of mine is the
possessor Of thin gold watch chain.
It is something after the pattern of a
cable. Each link is finely finished, and
the workmanship is that Of an artist.
In examining 1t closely one would even
think that the person who made it was
in love with his work. It is a mechan-
ioal masterpiece. My friend made it a
gift to his wife about 10 years ago, and
1t is not only highly priced by her on
that account, but also because of its de-
sign and finish. A week or two ago one
Of the links broke.
II will get that fixed for you all
right, "said my friend. II know just
the man TO- take it to. He is not jew
eler, but q machinist by trade, and I
would rather give job like this to him
than to jeweler. He has mechanical
genius which runs to work OF this
kind"
My friend took the chain to the gen.
ius. He has small, mean looking
shop in an ancient, dilapidated building
In an unlikely street down town. he
examined the chain carefully and ap.
peared to become reflective over it. Then
his face Lit up with a smile as he said:
II remember this chain very we'll. ]
