her faithful devotion to the sick and suf-
fering during those long sad years Of our
country's strife. Wherever most needed,
she was found laboring, and after peace
was declared, still she toiled on for many
months, Identifying and marking the
graves Of the thousands Of union men
who had died at Andersonville and
searching for the missing men from the
north. The following two years were
spent in giving lectures on her war ex-
periences.
But the strain upon her had been
great and It was necessary to give heed
to the claims Of her own delicate organi-
zation. Accordingly, she crossed the
waters and repaired to Switzerland to
take her much-needed rest While
abroad she continued her charitable
deeds, helping in the relief work Of the
Red Cross during the Franco-Russian
war.
It Is to the efforts Of Miss Barton that
we owe the introduction Of the Red Cross
work into the United States. About 20
years ago this work with its effective
methods Of relief in case Of national dan
ger or disaster was founded. In the case
Of the Johnstown food, the Michigan
fires, the Galveston calamity and many
minor misfortunes the Red Cross has
been at the front To prevent great and
awful suffering, relief must be prompt,
and 50 this organization has complete
provision and preparation to lend a hand
1t q moments warning. Many q dying
soul has looked upon Clara Barton as an
angel Of mercy, as she has gone to fits res
cue, needless Of the danger In which she
was placing herself, and thousands Of
living witnesses tell Of her unselish de-
Yotion to the lives Of the needy.
Miss Barton takes a great interest IN
The work Of the public schools. Patriot
that she is, she longs to see launched out
upon life q noble, loyal generation. She
feels that the effort being made to instill
In children a love for country is produc-
ing the true type Of citizen. Though now
An elderly woman, she still possesses
great vitality. Her face, almost stern
when in repose, Is marked with lines Of
strength; the soft, dark gray hair parts
back from an intellectual forehead. The
trail little figure. which has passed safe
" through so many dangers, is still as
bravely active as when the Red Cross
work first began. Fame came, but not
at her seeking. She has simply done
what seemed to her to lie at her right
hand.-Prairie Farmer.

The "Trip"

did you ever hear the expression two

In the south and west. Not ne person In

the term knows its origin.
Even a. late a. the close Of the
eighteenth century the silver coinage Of
the United States had not superseded
the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west
and south. Fractional currency was
particularly scarce and to obtain this
the Spanish 'milled' dollar was cut up to
make change. Halves and quarters, Of
course, suggested their own names, but
when the quarters were cut IN two the
word eighth was discarded for bft,' q

taIns some interesting information.
Il appears that during the year Just

Of mail found their way into the
dead house. That was s54,795 more
pieces than were reported during the
previous year-S5.0 900 q day year In and
year out, and the number constantly In
ereasing.
A little over one-thirtieth Of this num-
Der was delivered unopened. That means
that the skilled clerks In the once sue
ceeded In deciphering more than 800 900
apparently uninteIligible addresses and
starting them safely on their way again.
The clerks found S4s,634 IN money In
misdirected letters which were opened,
and drafts, checks and money orders rep
resenting a face value Of 81 .493y 563. Some
Of this money was finally delivered 70 the
persons for whom 1t was intended. but
the larger portion went to swell the
postal receipts.
To handle this business there are 1S5
clerks, and some Of them are marvels
IN the skill with which they can decipher
writing that apparently has no mean
ting. The most skilful Of ali Of them Is q
woman who draws q salary Of 81 800 q

Onigmas which she cannot master.
