preached by a G O b e representative,
a marked dissemination to talk-about
the secret service.
"Its one of those things you can't
very well talk about, you know was
the way he expressed it. eff you did,
it wouldn't be secret any more
"But you must have run into some
interesting stories in your experience,
was suggested.
Come to think of it, guess have, "
replied Mr.. Lawrence, "but can't
think Of any right off the reel would
like to say one thing now, before l
forget it, and that is this:
The principal work consists of de-
tecting and running down the makers
and negotiators of counterfeit money.
Many times it gives us long and
weary chase, but the finish of the coun-
terfeiter is a sure thing. The brightest
and shrewdest manufacturer of bogus
United States bills and coin find them
selves up against it. some time.
'"This isn't because we secret service
men are any smarter than other detec-
tives, but that the pursuit of counter
feiters by the government never ceases.
1t is never abandoned.

department. Mr.. Wilkie was formerly
a Chicago newspaper man. Being emil
nently practical, he enjoys the conf
dence of every man in the secret ser
vice, and naturally they all like to work
for him.
Mr.. Lawrence said he was not fortl-
fled with any good stories of recent
counterfeiting in the st. Paul district.
The habit of initiating Uncle Sans
money had been on the decrease OF late
outside of the New York district, where
it is still industriously practiced be-
tween Interruptions.

the way and demonstrated in his witty

also be a successful writer for the
stage, Peter Dunno promises to main
tain the parallel still further. He has
dramatized his "Dooley Papers and
the public will soon have an opportun-
ity for closer inspection of the Irish
philosopher.
George AIDE never fully realized what
popularity meant until the phenomenal
success of "The Sultan Of Sulu'' dur

Chicago. His friends organized Club

If the paths of the violators of the
federal laws are dark and devious, so,
too, are the ways of the governments
secret service agents. 1t becomes a case
of setting a Tartar to catch q Tartar.
/ The United States government, be-
ing a concern of mammoth proper
lions, with manifold interests to pro-
tect, it behooves it to employ the most
effective means to accomplish and in
sure such protection.
Lest the gentlemen, or the ladies, if
you please-for "a. woman over sixty
years of age was recently convicted in
Minneapolis for making counterfeit
money-engaged in stealing from the
United States, should suspect that they
are being watched, the government
does not label it's secret service agents
as such. 1t simply details them on the
case.
If the offense was committed in
Portland, Me-, like as not a secret serV-
ice man from Portland, Or, will be as
signed to investigate the case. If he
fails to ferret out the criminals, the
government may detail sleuth from
clown Mobile" But the inevitable re-
suit is the fastening of the crime on
the guilty party, if it takes a lifetime,
for Uncle Sam Is a relentless, tireless,
pursuing, determined overtaker Of
wrongdoers.
Lawrence's Big District.
The governments secret service
agent in charge of the st. Paul dis
trict is J. w. Lawrence. This district
includes four states Minnesota, Wis
consin and the two Dakotas. Mr.. Law
renee, who was assigned to it in 1888,
has his headquarters on the second
floor of the new federal building.
He is the mildest, most inoffensive,
undesigning human being in the world,
is Mr.. Lawrence-to judge from APP
pearances, but you can't always "size
up United States secret service men
by their looks.
Mr.. Lawrence manifested, when ap-

Lawrence, "Mr. Herman Moran, the
chief clerk of the secret service di-
vision of the treasury department, who
has had an experience of at least
twenty years in the department, pre-
pared magazine article dealing in a
most entertaining and instructive man
ner with the operations Of the secret
service in experimenting counterfeiters.
I know, read it with eager interest.
81 remember Moran said that coun-
terfeiting money was not original with
this generation. The enterprise started
as long ago as 1852, but it took congress
over a hundred years to recognize the
necessity of it's suppression. In 1860
1t appropriated $4,000 for this pur-
pose, which was paid out in the shape
Of rewards to private detectives and
others for the conviction of the Offend
erS. Four years later the apprOpria-
ton was raised to 100000, as the
greenbacks' issued to pay the war OBJ
legations were being counterfeited by
the wholesale. The money was turned
over to the secretary of the treasury,
who employed a force Of experienced
detectives to suppress the manufacture
of the spurious currency. This was the
origin of the department now known as
the secret service"

In his article on the secret service,
Chief Clark Moran calls attention to
the fact that the development Of mod

Hence the big profits, if undetected.

fact that counterfeiting is the meanest
of crimes, because the loss falls often

phase of the subject said:

was that of Charles H. Smith, once q

who turned out to be sone of the most

rugged and robust than. the men.
She Is Always Cheerful.
But what is more to the point, you
will discover that the market woman is

You see we market gardeners do our
