The Artichoke.

Artichokes were not held in estima-

that the archychock hath a naughty
Juice and giveth evell nourishment to

surprising when we learn that 1t was
the root Of our crown artichoke. which
they used to eat "bothe rave and sod

UNITED AT DEATHBED.

Mother separated from Her Daughter
for Twenty-Nine Years.
Beside the deathbed of Mrs. Jane
Williams. who died at McKeesport, Pa,
last week, her daughter, stolen from
her twenty-nine years ago, was re-
stored to her. The relatives of the dy-
ing woman gathered in the room de-
scribe the meeting of the long sun
dered morher and child as affecting in
the extreme. 1t was at first hoped that
the Joy of receiving back her child
would enable the aged woman to re-
cover, but her health was shattered
and though she rallied at first she died
holding the hand of the child, now a
grown woman, who had been stolen
from her SO many years before.
Mrs. Williams for many years resid-
ed in Chicago, in the days when the
Illinois metropolis was not large city,
many of her relations being residents
of that state. While in Chicago she
married Mr.. Williams, who, however,
died in 1869, leaving her with two chill
dren, of whom the youngest, Mary, was
about 2 years Old at the time of his
death. The older children had reached
the school-time stage, but the baby of
the family was thought by relatives not
to be strong. and they feared that the
mother would not have the time to
give it due attention.
Relatives desired to adopt the child
shortly after the death of the father,
but Mrs. Williams objected, saying

broken up and that she would not let
her little daughter go away from home
under any consideration. Several times
efforts were taken to induce her to
give up the child to those who were
richer, and, it is claimed, more able to
look after the child's welfare. but to
no avail.
Then when little Mary was about S
years old. while playing with some lit
tie girls in the street not far from her
home, woman accosted the group of
children and asked them whether they
would not like to have some candy.
The children, naturally enough, assent
ed and the stranger led the girls to
the nearest candy store, where she
gave them a treat all round. Then
Mary got into vehicle standing near.
together with the stranger, and abso-
lutely disappeared.
The police were notified of the dis
appearance of the child and for many
months close investigation was car
ried on, but without result, and when
the months heightened into years and
there was still no sign Of the child
most of the friends of Mrs. Williams
believed that the child was dead. Not
so the mourning mother. Never year
passed that she did not make some ef-
fort to find out where her child had
been taken. but until recently use-
lessly.
About twenty years ago she went to
Gilpin observer., 1901-12-12

McKeesport and made her home with
her son. Last summer she was strick-
en- with Illness necessarily fatal in its
character and about two months ago
1t became apparent that death was not
far of. With the approach Of death
the longing OF the mother for her
child grew more intense and five weeks
ago the relative who had taken the
child wrote, saying that the little girl
had grown to womanhood and married.
This fact was made known to Mrs.
Williams and Immediately arrange
ments were made for the daughter to
join her.
The daughter. now Mrs. Annie Mad
den OF Liverpool. England. was sent
for and arrived a week ago. The dy-
ing mother recognized her child in
spite of the years that had passed since
their cruel parting and aied holding
her hand.

BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS.
Currency Macerated at the Treasury II
Used by the Car RuiIders.

Currency Macerated at the Treasury n
Used by the Car Builders.
1t is the commonly accepted belief
that the old currency redeemed at the
treasury department is absolutely de-
stroyed. Such, however, is not the
case. A single wheel of locomotive
represents many millions of what was
once good paper currency. From a
bank note to car wheel is quite a
radical transformation, but it happens
every day, and to become supporting
atom in the revolving mass is the ul-
innate fate of every sciled 81, $40 or
81 600 bill.
Between $5O,C0O,O00 ana $500,000,000
worth of paper money is cancelled ev-
cry year in the treasury department in
Washington, and after being macerated
car wheels and the government gets $40
a ton for it from the manufacturers.
The destruction of soiled paper cur
rency goes on daily and is in charge
of three treasury employees, who repre-
sent respectively the secretary of the
treasury, the treasurer of the United
States and the comptroller of the cur
rency. Bundles of the cancelled notes
are dumped into the big macerators
and crushed into puttylike mass. The
pulp is then treated with an alkali,
which extracts the ink: the stun is
dried, shipped in bales and forwarded
to the car wheel manufacturers.
For every note so destroyed, unless 1t
has come from national bank In liqui-
dation, a new one of the same denom-
ination is printed at the bureau OF
printing and engraving. All this work
costs the government nothing. The
national banks pay the expenses. al
