Men Who Handle Millions.


:. The government Is more trustful Of
the employees in its financial center
than is any private corporation. In
the United States treasury the whole
output Of the nations currency Is
handled by men who are under neither
surveillance nor bond. The paying tell
er handles S40,000,000 or $50, 100000 q
year. The exchange clerk has every day
100000 in change at hand. The money
in charge of the keeper Of the cash
room runs from $17O,OOO,OO0 upward,
and the chief of the issue division
handles millions every day. Any Of
these men could get away with enor-
nous amounts of money and be reason
ably secure against detection for a con-
siderable length Of time. Nevertheless,
peculations from the treasury have
been few and small in amount during
its history. There Is an axiom in the
department which runs as follows:
Wherever money is handled there
is a point at which the honesty of the
individual must be the main reliance"
And so the treasury dispenses with
the services Of spoilers. However,
private business interests involving the
handling of large sums of money are
not likely to follow this example.
Spoilers may be an evil, but they are
a necessity in the present phase of
human development, and until some
psychological chemist devises a prep
aration to make men honest the type
is likely to persists. ii. Adams in

NEW SHORT STORIES
Witness Wasn't Interested.

Gardiner Lathrop of Kansas City
tells this: The witness had been de
scribing a murder, and he seemed over
anxious to convict the defendant The
defense was an alibi. The witness had
told how he had seen the defendant
slip up to the deceased, plunge jew
eled knife into his heart, and he had
even gone so far as to distinguish the
sort of buttons he had on his coat, al
though it was nighttime. The defense
got hold Of him something in this way:
"You say you saw this murder com
mittedT'
81 am certain of it, sir"
at was 8 o'clock at nightT'
Eyes, sir; the clock in the church
tower had just struck O."
81 believe you said you were about
rs feet away?"
Between 20 and 10 feet; somewhere
along there"
"Of course this killing was not done
under an electric light?'
''Oh, no; it was done in an alley.
There were no lights there"
Auu yet you Say you dlSlluCllS IL
member that you saw jeweled knife
In the defendants hand and that the
buttons on his coat had a curious little
cross on themT Then, musingly: And
yet you We're 70 feet away, and it was
a dark night? Now, are you lying or
were you drunk"
"Oh, said the witness, ''you can fig
ure 1t out to suit yourself. l don't care
anything about the case anyhow"
