James Johnson, Captain of the
Indian Football
Team

Captain James johnson. the hustling
little quarter back and shrewd captain
of the Carlisle Indian school football
eleven. is considered by students Of the
game to be the equal of the best quar-
ter backs on the gridiron this year.
Johnson is snappy, heady player,
quick to see weakness in an opposing
team and just as ready to take advan-
tage of it. In the tricks of the gridiron
he is second to none. as was evidenced
in the recent remarkable contest with
the Harvard giants, in which the Indi-
ans, although averaging twenty pounds
lighter per man than their bulky oppo-
nents, were only defeated by one point.

on his own five yard line and, hiding
behind the entire Indian team, stuffed
the pigskin up under the back of Left
Guard Dillon's jersey. Dillon started
of down the field like wild man. with
both hands appraised, and had passed
the whole Harvard team before the
hump on his back betrayed the where
abouts of the ball. but 1t was then too
late, and he scored touchdown the
Harvards in the meantime having tao
kled every other Indian on the field
Captain Johnson also made the only
other score of his team by kicking a
goal from the field.

A New Yorker recently dropped .
81 600 bill in the cabin of n ferr.T boat

cover it because he could not remember
what its number was nor when it had
been issued.
This unusual case induced a man
who IL fond of statistics to ascertain
Just how many notes Of such large de-
nomination there are In the United
less surprise his fellow citizens, most
of whom have never seen anything
larger than a 500 bill off the stage.
From figures compiled by the treas
ury department it appears that there
was outstanding in the month Of JAN
uary of the present year $26,035, 900 in
notes of $1,000 denominatio
OF the treasury notes Of 1890 1854, 900

notes in such bills, $46,735,5 800 in gold
certificates and $4,000 In silver GER

that there were outstanding. according
to the treasury estimates, on Jan. 81
last 73,515ia $1,000 bills.
How to account for the fraction at
the end is difficult except on the sup.
position that one of the valuable notes
was accidentally torn in half by some
one who was in great hurry to pos
sess 1t.
Most Of the paper money issued by
Uncle Sam is in the comparatively
modest SO notes. and there are enough
of these floating around through the

of $40, 556. 1902.
Bills of the IS size come next in poipt

and these amount to 1886, J31 ,5GG.
Silver certificates comprise majority
of the smaller bills such as the ones

The treasury goes as high as $4,000
notes at times, but according to the
latest returns there is only one issue Of
these outstanding, while two issues of

Tall buildings and Nerves.


The result of carelessness In running
elevators is plainly shown IN the fol-
Lowing item from Good Health: There
isd no need of those sudden stops of a
fixing elevator. and its effect upon peo-
PIE with any sort of heart trouble Is
dangerous In the extreme. When 1t
comes to facilities for increasing the
army of nervous people, It is a mistake
to give the palm to the electric trolley
eur, the automobile or tire elevated
trains The tall sky scraper building
of the big cities Is q close competitor
of all these in the manufacture OF
nervous wrecks. Not one woman In q
hundred ean step into swift flying
elevator and be "shot" up to the tenth
story Of a scraper without feeling Of
ssgoneness" in the region OF the heart.
which, In the case OF many delicately
organized women. approaches very
closely to nervous collapse. 1t must
not be imagined either that the shoot
ing up and down In these steel cages
day after day has no effect upon the
nerves of men. They become accus-
toned to the sensation of being drop
ped from the fifteenth story to the
basement. The heart action is proof
against Its wear and tear, but their
nerves are not. There Is a. gradual
unconscious breaking down of the
nervous system.
