NEW JOB IN BANKS.
Little Soap and Water Improves
Paper Currency.

An official of the United States
Treasury at Washington recommends
the washing of bank notes and other
paper currency. If the bankers of the
country only knew" he says. "the
great difference that a litltet soap and
water makes in dirty bank note there
would be more clean money in circula-
tion. If you have never seen the opera
tion just spread soiled note upon a
marble slab and use little brush that
has been well soaped and go to work
scrubbing, lightly, of course. But a
few strokes are necessary to secure a
clean note. I give my personal atten-
ticn to all the paper money brought
into my household, and can tell you l
feel repaid for the little work it causes.
| can see every reason why there
should be person employed in the
banking houses for this particular
duty. Certainly the neglect in doing
so gives ample cause for complaint
from the patrons concerning the dirty,
oily notes that are too frequently
handed to them. They may be full of
germs which, Of course, are dangerous
and this risk could be easily e1imi-
mated by the simple use of soap and
water.

WALKED BESIDE DEATH.

Felix Donnelly, one of the miners
lost recently on the Mojave Desert
faced horrible death that almost
robbed him of his reason. For days he
wandered over the burning desert
without food or water.
On November II he left Randsburc.
Cal, to guide William Mcleod out to
work on Wilson Canyon mine, in the
Angus Mountains. 1t was a Journey
of about seventy miles, and was made
without mishap, in spite of the fact
that their horse was In poor condition,
land seemed hkely to give out at any
Noment
He left the mountains next day to re-
turn, expecting to spend the night at
Sanderswell but he got lost toward
evening. All that night and tho next
day he drove about on the desert in
search of the well. During the second
night he at last came to the well, only
to find it dry. There was not drop
of water in it. ''''-

These Fowls Knew When the Roost
Was in Danger.

people generally thinks turkey
have the least sense of all the domes-
tic fowls" said Frank Wilkinson, a
Virginia farmer, the other day. but
I've got some that seem to have more
gray matter than great many human
beings know. One night short time
ago my wife and l and some visitors
were out driving in the evening. AS
was putting up the horses after
returning home l noticed my turkeys
were not roosting as usual in the big
buttonwood tree by the barn. Instead
they were perched on the fence posts
and in the limbs of other trees. 1t
struck me as mighty funny, as tur-
keys on the place had roasted in that
tree ever since l could remember
mentioned it to my wife when l went
in the house, and she said she had
noticed it when we drove in and
thought 1t peculiar. That night about
midnight hard wind and rainstotm
came up and the old buttonwood blew
down. Now, how did those turkeys
know that tree was doomed? At sum
down there was no sign of a storm,
and the buttonwood was fully so years
old and apparently as stanch as ever.
tell you, I've had great respect for
the judgment of turkeys since then"

The horse was exhausted and fell to
the ground, so Donnelly unhitched II,
and putting some hay in front of it,
started out on foot. He intended to go
to Ell Paso Peak tunnel, where he knew
there would be plenty of water.
He wandered for days, how many
he was unable to tell beyond the first
three, for after that he often fell into
stupor, from which he would get up
and travel on. Every time he came in
sight of a mountain he would think it
Ell Paso Peak, and would exert himself
to reach it, only to be disappointed. All
this time he was suffering most in
tense agony and realized that he was
perishing from thirst. The cool nights
refreshed him little, but the hot days
were horrible, and he expected each to
be his last. He became almost wild
with the terrible thought Of the death
he had to face.
At last his strength gave out and he
fell down, unable to rise. The usual
stupor did not come upon him for
hours, and it seemed he would have
to lie there and watch death come.
But at length he became unconscious.
He was found lying there with his
head under bush by Portuguese
sheep herder, who took him, still un-
conscious, to Indian Wells. He was
cared for there until he could be taken
to his home at Randburg.

BLEW CAPTAIN OVERHEARD.

Captain Mark Clark, SCARED in n
dozen places with a Siberian cyclone,
has just returned from a year-and-a-
half trip filed with interesting eXpe-
riences through Russia, Siberia and
Mongolia.
Captain Clark has been erecting
boats in foreign countries since 1880,
and has had many thrilling eXpe-
riences. but the ones he has just passed
through capped the climax. During
the twenty-five years he has set up
three boats in Venezuela, one in Span
ish Honduras and three on the Yukon,
in Alaska.

schooner had lost every bit of canvas,
except the foresail, and, under the
pounding of terrific seas, had sprung a
leak. her cargo Of granite having

men fought for life.

men We're with difficulty prevented, by
comrades not as far gone, from lying
down in the boat to die, vessels light

raised their voices in united cry.

rescued.

FOUGHT A FIvE-HoUR DUEL


A hot pistol and shotgun duel oc-
Cured near Senoia, Ga, between ].
w. Entrikin and Clinton Morgan. For
some time there had been bad blood
between the men and rumors were
afioat to the effect that Morgan would
kill Entrikln at the first opportunity.
The latter is q bailiff, and in anticipa-
ton Of trouble went fully armed. A
few days since a man went into Entri-
kin's Office and placed some papers
with him TO be served instantly on
Clinton Morgan. Realizing that a cri-
sis had been reached in his feud with
his neighbor, Entrikin concealed two
weapons on his person, and took q
friend along to act as witness, realiz-
ing full well that when, in addition to
their original quarrel, Morgan learned
his mission there would be trouble.
In about twenty minutes they had
arrived within twenty yards Of Nor
gan's house, At this jupcture Morgan
himself appeared, and before Entrikin
had time to serve him with the papers
he jerled his shotgun from behind the
door and commenced to fire toward the
approaching men. Both hastily sought
shelter behind trees and rapid fusil-
lade ensued. Morgan had hts pockets
full of shells, and as fast as his charge
was exhausted he would shove others
into the chambers, thus keeping up a
hot fire at any portion Of the bailiff's
body that was exposed.
Entrikin answered with his revolv-
ers, until finally both men We're badly
wounded and could not leave their
posts Then came blockade, for both
were afraid to even hang out a white
handkerchief lest it draw the fire of his
enemy. Entrikins friend was unarmed.
For nearly five hours this ludicrous
situation continued, until finally a
friend of Morgan's came up, and plac-
ing the latter on horseback, covered
his retreat. The bailiff was taken back
to town.-St Louis Republic.
