The money counters In the United
States treasury We're startled one day,
bays Theodore Waters In the November
EyerybOdy's, by the appearance of a
remarkable looking fat man who en-
tered the department and told a strange
tale He said he was an Ohio farmer
and did not believe In banks, and SO
had buried his money in the ground
for safe keeping He had dug 1t up
and was Mortified to find that 1t was
slowly turning to dust, as notes will
when long buried.
Panic stricken, he gathered the dis
integrated money into an old pillow
case, bound it around his waist beneath
his clothes and started for Washington,
He Travelled part Of the way on horse
back, part Of the way on an Ohio river
steamboat and part Of the way by
train. During the journey he never
once took off the pillowcase. He even
slept with II on. The officials Of the
treasury department found 1t difficult
to make him part with 1t.
He did not want to go with clerk
to hotel for fear the clerk might rob
him, but as 1t was manifestly tmpos-
sible for him to disrobe In the office he
had finally to submit. They got the
money at last, and the condition Of II
was so bad that the treasury expert
had to be called to decipher Il So
great was her skill that the farmer
lost only few hundred dollars out OF
$4,000.

The most inexcusabls thing in the
world Is to unjustly abuse decent cit
izen.

old enough to know better unless they
are also too old to enjoy meanness.
Every man needs a chart to tell him
the degrees Of kinship in his family
but his wife knows them 50 well she
can say them backward.
The truth about some people who
seem to be doing so much Is that they
always put things of until the last
minute and then have to rush.

but the late bird has as good an argu-
ment: He gets his rest which the early
bird misses and has never yet starved.
