"This isn't because we secret service

a Chicago newspaper man. Being emf

for him.
Mr.. Lawrence said he was not fort1-

marks that the ranks Of those who in

81 remember" said Mr.. Lawrence,
that Mr.. Moran, in speaking of this
phase of the subject, said:
Zone day you may return home
from your business to find that the
neighbor with whom you had spent
many pleasant social hours and who
was considered in very way worthy of
your confidence has been conducting a
private mint, and is now under arrest
with every prospect of long term in
prison before him?"
A case in point cited by Mr. Moran,
was that of Charles H. Smith, once q
highly respected citizen of Brooklyn,
who turned out to be one of the most
expert and prolific engravers of false
money plates. Mr.. Smith lived next
door to a prominent city official, with
whom he often engaged in a friendly
game of ,croquet on the. lawn.
There Are Bogus Detectives.
AS dollars are counterfeit, so are
secret service agents. The bogus"
secret service man is a bold and merry
fellow. His method of operation is to
walk into a retail establishments Sa-
loon preferred-and after displaying
what looks to be a badge of authority
to accost the proprietor or bartender in
this fashion:
LET me see your two and five. dollar
bills. I'm secret service man."

once dives into his cash register and
dumps all his greenbacks on the coun-

convincing he generally succeeds in
finding a bogus So BILL after which he
departs, after notifying the saloon man
that he will hear from the United

so.

the way and demonstrated in his witty
operate satire that funny man" can
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 a 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

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 a magazine article dealing in a
most entertaining and instructive man
ner with the operations of the secret
service in experimenting counterfeiters.
1 know, I 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
it 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
RevoIutionized "Queer" Industry.
In his article on the secret service,
Chief Clark Moran calls attention to
the fact that the development of mod

photogravure and etching has revolu

eight to fifteen months to complete

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,

up United States secret service men
by their looks.
Mr.. Lawrence manifested, when ap-
