MONEY.

new method of sending small sums
through the mails, with little inconven-
ience to sender or receiver. Bills SINH
lar to the present one, two and five dol
lar paper, are issued by the government,
exactly upon the present plan. Upon
the face Of each are two dotted lines, the
use of which we will explain further
on. At first the money may be circu-
lated in the ordinary way, but when it
becomes necessary for small amount to
be sent through the mails, instead of
spending so worth of time in the pur-
chase of 81 postoffice order, you have
merely to open your wallet, take out
bill, insert in one of the blank spaces
the name of the person to whom you
wish payment to be made, sign your
name in the blank line below, attach
and cancel 2.cent internal revenue
stamp, and there you have a perfect
mode of transmitting money, as safe as
draft, as it will only be redeemed upon
the Identification Of the person present
ing it at bank window. The money
having reached the payee, it is endorsed
by him, offered and accepted at the
bank, and in due course of time sent to
the United States treasury, where it is
destroyed and new note issued in it's
stead, the government having already
been reimbursed for it's trouble by the
money received for the revenue stamp
attached by the payor. This is no
wildcat" money scheme; it does not
increase the circulation it in no wise
conflicts with the system now in vogue,
but it seems to offer safe, convenient
way of transmitting money through the
mails, and as the average American
business man is either too busy or too

Conservative has decided to allow it's re-

AT BAY!

AT BAY! after being trailed for
many weary weeks
by the crying pack of immaculate Re-
publican editors, has turned at bay, and
has already severely gashed a brace of
his tormentors. The State journal
having maintained discreet silence in
it's editorial columns, but allowed it's
exchange columns to serve as the sewer
through which flowed the spewings of a
bilious country press, the governor calls
attention to the fact that in the list of
signers to the petition praying for the
pardon of BARLEY, appear the talismanic
names Of the Journals corps of opinion
moulders, philosophers, poets and para
graphers.
M. A. Brown, editor of the Kearney
(Neb. Hub, having been Incorporate in
his denunciation of the governors
course, and having with extreme dis
courtesy, published personal letter
written to him by the latter asking for
a private conversation and an opportuni-
ty to justify the pardon, Mr.. Savage
in a letter to the public in general, and
Mr.. Brown in particular, informs the
people that the chaste editor of the vir-
tuous Hub borrowed nearly $14 900 from
bank in which state funds had been
deposited, and suggests that Mr.. Brown
pay the bank, that the bank may pay
BARLEY, and Bartley reimburse the
state.

Which man do you think the more
worthy of public sympathy, he who
weakly trusted those who came to WOO
from him the funds within his vaults, or
he who with fair promises and under
false pretenses of fidelity secured pos
session of the peoples cash, and now
advances the statutes of limitations in
estoppel, at the same time bawling for
the punishment of the state treasurer
who merely opened the door and allowed
them to take what they wanted, trust

loss to the state, and disgrace to himself

CaIiInG the Hours.

There is one place In London. and
Dnly one, where the ancient custom or
keeping a watchman to call out the
hours is still maintained. This Is at
New inn, which In spite Of Its name Is
one of the Oldest inns Of court. The
servants there are quite proud Of the
age of the place, and 1t was one OF
them who said one day:
"Why, sir. this inn was here In the
time Of Charles l."
After long pause, to allow this stun
ming fact to percolate through the brain
Of the hearer, he extended his arm and
added with emphasis:
"And it was here in the time OF
Charles H."
Some vague notion Of the disturb
ances which interviewed between the
two reigns had probably been floating
through the mans mind, but how an
existing institution could possibly have
dated from the reign of Charles I. with
out coming down through the reign Of
Charles II. he failed to explain.
Beginning at the stroke Of 10 o'clock
every night, the watchman In the yard
of New inn "calls the hour" In sten.
torian but musical voice:
'Ten o'clock, and alls well!"
The words are heard in the adjoin-
ing chambers and offices. Tenants In
Clements inn. whose rooms look into
the pretty yard and garden Of New Inn,
may hear these words every hour
through the night II awake. - New

tributed the cards by thousands in all
the Chinatowns of the United States.
They were inscribed with picture Of
the cigar, and below were the words:
Smoke this cigar. 1t Is the best on the
market, and two for five Is its price

later, my mistake. The words Lo Hen
Wong had written and which had
had autographed were: Don't smoke

every Chinatown at 8 cents a package,
are excellent
"Lo Hen Wong had got SO from me

much he got from the Gong company.

The Indian Duck Trick.


A little tin or earthen pan or some
times half a cocoanut shell supported
on three stones Is filled with water on
which Is sprinkled red powder, rem
dering it practically opaque. A little
duck of wood or porcelain Is placed
upon the surface, where 1t at first
floats, but at the command Of the per-
former suddenly dives, remaining sub
merged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that in the bottom Of the
vessel there Is minute hole through
which passes hair. One end of this
Is attached to the duck; the other re-
mains at the disposal of the performer
and Is attached, by means Of n pellet
of wax, to his tomtom or to one OF the
hands with which he beats 1t. When
he wishes the duck to dive. he pulls
the hair. When he desires 1t to rise,
be relaxes the pull.
There is naturally some amount Of
leakage through the pinhole. and to
cover this the performer takes care,
when filling the pan, to accidentally (D
spill little water. The ground being
thus already wetted, the fact that 1t
gets little more Is not noticed

No Word For Love.

In comparison with the English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo-
NOUS In some ways Of expression and
wasteful In others.
For instance, 1t Is impossible to "kick'
n man In French. You must give him
"blow with the foot" The Portu-
guese do not wink" at one; they "close
and open the eyes"
In the languages Of the American In
dians there is no word with which to
convey the idea Of stealing" perhaps
because the idea Of property is so
vague. 1t Is related Of one Of the early
missionaries that In attempting to
translate the Bible into Algonquin he
could find no word to express love"
and was compelled to invent it.

When called upon suddenly to reply to
