fact that is o generally known. and
II doubt if ever published, and that
is the weight a new treasury single

sustain without breaking. Director
Meredith furnished me with the figures.
and they may be accepted as official
and accurate.
"A single treasury note measures
BIS inches wide by IA inches long, and
will suspend Al pounds lengthwise and
81 pounds crosswise. Notes are printed
four to a sheet. A sheet will suspend
los pounds %lengthwise and Iii pounds

"The remarkable strength OF a Uni
ted States treasury note may thus be
seen at a glance, and l venture to say
that not one person in a million would
have guessed the great tenacity of the
paper which, when properly printed
and stamped, becomes good money"
The cashier had interestedly listened
to the treasury experts explanation of
the Notwithstanding n necessarily
resisting power of wear and tear of our
paper money, and then he said:
You see, it is this way; Bills stick
together, see, and we cashiers have to
make up any shortage out of Il own
pockets, and that's one reason why
we snap and jerk the bills SO hard. so
we will not pay out two for one, as
might be done. Again. a two dollar
bill is frequently mistaken for a five,
and vice versa. and by counting out our
money as If it were drops OF u life
blood we are less liable to pass out
one for the other"
The two gentlemen paid their ac-
count and agreed as they passed out
that the cashiers excuse was lame,
and that it was a good thing for the
rest of the public who handle money
that the breaking strength of our treas
ury notes is so high, or there would be
nothing left Of them after they had
passed thru a dozen cashiers hands.

DOLLIvER AND IOWA IDEA.
TWashington Press.

Delivers mastery presentation of
the Tow idea" to the senate. when
he crossed t~runcheons with that dough
ty warrior, Senator Aldrich, Of Rhode
Island, has brought him into the lime
light as a vice presidential possibility
with Mr.. Roosevelt at the head of the
ticket. The iowa idea" like the Iowa
man. is getting rapidly to the front, and
1t was quietly suggested among some of
the older senator's today that Senator
Dolliyer would make a splendid vice
president. 1t was also limited that Gov.
Cummins wouldn't be averse to Dolliver
going on the tail of the presidential
ticket in 1904, for in the event of his
election Cummins would then have a
chance to crafty the ambition of his
life by running for senator, and he
might be elected to the unexpired term
of Deliver and be elected to the full
term commencing March 4, 1907, the
time OF Delivers expiration. 1t is
known in Washington that Dolliyer
would welcome his nomination for vice
president, for it might be n stepping
stone to still higher honors. Deliver
has ambitions. and as he is still a young
man, his friends believe that he has
splendid chances for the presidency.
