There is a Mexican woman who keeps a

HIDING MONEY.
Queer Places That Women Choose as Be-
ing Safe.
New York Journal. }

The stocking bank, the favorite hiding
place of past generation, has now be-
come almost obsolete, except with very
few old fashioned people in quiet, out-of-
the-way villages, yet there are many
methods of storing away money and val
uables equally as quaint, which are still
adopted by ladies'
An elderly spinster who resides in one
of the many ancient houses to be found
in Boston had set of stationary drawers
topped by cupboards specially built into
a huge closet in one of the rooms. The
lower drawer, instead of resting directly
on the floor, ran on grooves about two
inches above it. This lower drawer she
would pull out and place large sums of
money and all her jewel casees in the
space left below, and then replace the
drawer, which she kept filled with linen,
The old lady would always declare that
if the house was broken into and the
drawers ransacked, no one would think
of pulling them right out, and that her
hiding place was far safer than any
bank.
Equally shrewd was woman in Cleve-
land. who whenever she had occasion to
leave her home at all, would put her
money and jewelry in the coal scuttle,
covering them up carefully with several
LAYERS of coal. This might have proved
a somewhat risky experiment IN the win
ter months, when the fire had to be fed,
but the owner felt that no burglar would
ever dream of looking in coal scuttle for
yaluables.
Another lady once confi1ed to the wri-
ter tn at If she had occasion to leave her
house she invariably placed her jewelry
in her old shoes, which were placed
alongside the new ones. Quite lot OF
valuables can be forced down into the
toes without giving the slightest evidence
of the value therein. /
OF other hiding places. perhaps, the
most popular, especially for paper money,
is the big family Bible. 1t is quite q
customary thing in out-of-the-way coun-
try houses to thus secure any valuable
papers in the possession of the family.
lea caddies and sugar bowls make ex cell

an old dress hanging in an unconcealed

let's.
One old lady the other day took hcr first
railroad ride from a Central New York
town to this city, SO that she might draw
her savings from the bank here and place
them in the country institution at home.
Her money had been here through the
panics of 1873 and 1898, but she thought
it safer now, while the war with Spain
was on to take it out and place it nearer
her. She would not trust any one but
herself to come on and draw the few hun

SWORD STAINED WITH BLOOD.
How Volunteer Used Souvenir to Very

A memb Der of the Seventy first Infantry
showed Yesterday in Broadway cafe to
an interested lot of spectators his sword,
W hich, unsheathed, was seen to have a
dark-ooIorea stain and rust on the end of
the blade.
"That is the blood of q Cuban, said the
soldier, "and ! was thesman who ran him

rations precious as gold, that had saved

whether it was Cuban, Spaniard, white

and made terrific lunge through the

a murmur. / was sorry that life should
be SO uselessly sacrificed, but when the
officers saw the man with my sick COM
rade's rations in his death grip l was ex-
onerated from all blame and even COM

when crust of bread is more precious
than a wad of Government bonds, and a
oanteen of water is Kings ransom.
This was one of those times The Cubans
about us were filthy and repulsive They
had been SO long under evil Spanish in
fuences, suppose. that they simply went
the Dons one better at their own game
There is sword that did one thief up

ON give you 500 for it, - said the pro-
prietor of the cafe
''Not much" said the hero OF San
Juan. II was never much of a souvenir
crank, but this is trinket shall keep
as long as l live" And he moved away
only to be surrounded by another group
of interested people, who offered him the
best to eat, drink and smoke there was in
the house in return for a repetition OF the
true tale right from the lips of the bronze
hero right from the 'front.'
