a Bill to Protect Holly Trees.

A unique bill that will be presented at
the next meeting of the General Assem-
bly, is being inspired by Mrs Robert j.
Lowry, one of Atlanta's most prominent
and philosophical women The bill will
ask that a law be made TO prohibit the
wholesale mutilation and destruction of
the holly tree, which at this season is be-
ing disposed of to such a great extent
and sent out from the state, its adapta-
bility as a decoration making it sought
for in enormous quantities. The holly
tree is one very slow of growth, and in
the worlds of Mrs. Lowry 'if this whole
sale destruction of the tree continues sew
eral years longer we will find our coun-
try entirely without one of its most
beautiful adornments. ! do not think to
satisfy the demands of the city at the sea-
son of yuletide we have a right to make
more demands upon the natural beau

Goodland. Kan, Dec. 23.-N. Z. Al
bertson, local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism, which had
crippled him so that ut times he could
not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. lie
had suffered for years. but was grad
ually getting worse till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
derful cures of rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and Mr..

INGALLS,, TRIBUTE TO GRASS.
Politically Described BY the Brillian

Politically Described by the Brilliant
Senator az Natures Forgiveness.
A beautiful tribute was once paid by
the late Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, to
grass. Next in Importance, he said, to
the divine prcfusion of water, light and
air, those three physical facts which
render existence possible, may be reck-
oned the universal benefcence of grass.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature-her
constant benediction. Fields trampled
with battle, saturated with blood, torn
with ruts Of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass grown, like rural lanes, and are
obliterated. Forests perish, flowers van
ish, but grass is immortal.
Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of
winter, it withdraws into the impreg
pabie fortress of its subterranean vital
ity and energies upon the first solicit
tation of spring. Sown by the winds,
propagated by the subtle horticulture
Of the elements. which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the rude out
lines of the world. lis tenacious fibers
hold the earth in its place and prevent
its soluble components from washing
into the wasting sea. 1t invades the
solitudes of deserts, climbs the inacces-
sible slopes and forbidden piInacles of
mountains, modifies climates and deter
mines the history, characte: and des-
tiny of nations. Unobtrusiye and pa
tent. it has immortal vigcr and ag-
gression. Banished from the thorough
fare and the field, it bides its time to
return, and when vigilance is relaxed,
or the dynasty has persisted, it silently
resumes the throne from which 1t has
been expelled, but which it never abdi-
Gates. 1t bears no blazonry OF bloom 10
charm the senses with fragrance or
splendor, but it's homely hue is more
enchanting than the lily or the rose. 1t
yields no fruit in earth or air. and yet
should its harvest fail for single year
famine would depopulate the world.

LETTERS ON PAPER MONEY.
Precautions by Government Against
Counterfeiters.

Precautions by Government Against
Counterfeiters.
Talking of counterfeiters," said an
ex-treasury official the other day,
puts me in mind of one thing that few
people outside Of the Treasury Depart
ment know about paper money. Many
notorious counterfeiters have been cap
tured through their lack of knowledge
of it,
Here the speaker reached down into
his pocket and fished out 81 BILL 1t
was a new one, and he pointed out
diminutive letter G on the right, under
the bills number, and another down in
the other corner.
''Now," he continued, II don't sup
pose you can tell me what these seem
ingly unnecessary letters are ON the
United States bills, nor what they sig
Nifty. Well, take any one of these bills
and tell me what the last four figures
of its number are"
The bill was taken and the treasury
man informed that the last four fig
ures We're $500. Almost instantly he
said: THE letter on that bill is B."
When the bill was examined the di-
minutive B was found on it in two
places.
Half a dozen other bills were SINH
larly tried ard the ex-treasury official
was able in each case TO tell what let
ter would be found on the bill. The
letter was always either A. B. G or d.
THE explanation is simple" said the
expert in paper scrip. If you divide
by four the number on any United
States Treasury note, no matter what
its denomination, you will, of course,
have a remainder of one, two, three, or
naught. If the remainder is one, the
letter on the bill will be A; if it is two,
the letter will be B; if it is three, the
letter viii be C, and if it is zero, mean
ing that it divides evenly, the letter
viii be D.
"This is one of the many precau-
tions taken by the government against
counterfeiters. 1t is not an infallible
precaution, of course, but you may be
pretty sure that if the rule does not
apply the bill is a counterfeit"

They are the .Pahonins, a warlike tribe,

also exhibited in dressing their hair,

Extreme Measures Taken to Relieve
the General.
An operation was performed at Detroit
upon Gen. r. A. Alger, who for some
time has been suffering from gallstones.
The patient bore the ordeal well and
rallied from the shock. Fear was felt
as to the generals ability TO undergo the
operation, but the ma!ady had reached
such n stage that drastic measures were
deemed necessary. His physicians ON the
day following the operation agreed that
he had an even chance to recover. The
general was on the operating table an
hour and quarter. Six hundred news
boys contributed to the purchase of a
floral tribute to be sent to him. Every
Christmas for twenty years Gen. Alger
has bought suit of clothes for every
newsboy in Detroit.

The Fideety Thing.

She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies are a perfect delight,
Her coffee a rich golden brown,
Her crullers and buildings just right.
But then, while l eat them, she tells
OF the care and the worry they bring,
OF the martyr-like tolls she endures,
o, she's such a fidgety thing!
My house is neat as a pin
You should see how the door-handles
shine
And all of the soft-cushioned chairs
And nicely swept floors are mine.
But then she so frets at the dust,
At fly, at a straw, or a string,
That l stay out of doors all | can,
She is such fidgety thing!
