UNCLE SAM'S
Methods of Guarding Vaults of the
 United States Treasury.

Washington Special Chicago Trib- to how easy it would be for handful of determined desperadoes to make away with rich haul of gold and sil- yer as it is being transferred to or from tko vaults of the treasury on one of the business thoroughfares of this city At any hour of the day a curious crowd can be seen standing about the heavy platform at the Fifteenth street entrance to the treasury, upon which small iron safes containing money are being placed in transferring currency to and from the treasury. Speculation lated for making away with large amount of Uncle Sam's gold. Those who indulge in this wild speculation are not aware of the danger whics would attend such an undertaking. In the first place, it requires at least three .pen to handle each safe, and it would be almost an impossibility to wrest these treasure=laden boxes from those who have charge of them. Even if this should be done, the robbers would not be able to get away with the booty, as within an incredibly short time num- Der Of government employees armed to the teeth would be on the spot. It is not generally known, but inquiry de- Feloped the fact that the seedy men who loiter around with no apparent aim in life are expert marksmen. These men can shoot equally well with either hand, and would furnish highly entertaining sport for any one whc should attempt to rob Uncle Sam. They are employed by the government at good salary. Aside from these ex- pert marksmen at the man entrance of the building will be found number oi watchmen, each of whom is provided with a rife. Seereted ill one of the rooms are two gatiing guns, and it would require but a shor1 time to bring all these arms into play. To the lay man it would seem to be an apparent iy easy matter to steal some of the governments funds. but it is safe to say number Of lives would be for feited if such a foolbardy attempt were made.

Ing miracle. like many another, both
ancient and modern, is easily and nat
urally applicable. Yet it may be that
the miraculous salvation Of Patrick
O'Shea, which | witnessed during my
brief visit to Roundrock, belongs to an
other and more wondrous order of phe-
nOmena.
O'Shea was tall young Irishman of
cheerful and engaging countenance
and fine military carriage He was
clerk In an architects office In Boston
and was well on the way to be an ar
chitect himself. His employer was In
the habit Of visiting the Maine coast in
summer and thus had made the ac-
quaintance of Augustus Webster, ESQ.,.
who has more money than any other
man In Roundrock Harbor This is
not saying that he Is millionaire.
however.
Mr. Webster decided to remodel his
house In such q way that 1t would still
further adorn the landscape and &C
cOmmodate more summer boarders. He
was getting too old to sleep on the
kitchen table In the press of business
during the heated term This decision
was reached In the last days Of winter
and was communicated to the Boston
architect, who sent down O'Shea to
draw plan or two and estimate ex-
penses.
O'Shea became the guest of Webster
after the excellent fashion of. the coun-
try. and he won all hearts during his
first evening In that household by his
genial department and ready wit. He
had no true brogue. for he had been
well educated In the schools of Dublin,
but his tongue was Irish for all that,
and Its peculiarities lent special fla
vor to his inexhaustible fund of stories
He was accepted as what Is called a
character" and the whole town was
interested in him before he had been
there "a hours.
1t was Monday, March Ia, when
O'Shea arrived. and he had expected to
return on Wednesday, but an examina-
ton of the house on the forenoon fol-
lowing his arrival convinced him that
the changes desired by its owner
would be no easy matter to embody
IN plan, and so, at dinner, he re-
marked that he would probably have
to remain over the holiday

OShea stared into the face of his
host.
You won't be forgetting St. Pat
