ton. A Partisan chemist. Schlum-
berger by name, told the bank officials
that it would be an easy thing to re-
produce the new notes, offered to
prove his statement, and also suggest
ed to them new process Of his own
invention which should make counter
feiting impossible. The directors Of
the bank declined to accept any sug-
gestions and contented themselves
with warning the chemist not to att
tempt to initiate the new. violet note.
He did 30, however, and his limitations
appeared as a supplement TO an issue
of LIE Moniteur, printed on thick paper
and with the words 800 Lizards" In
stead Of 200 Francs" The joke VAS
on the bank, but It cost Schlumberger
800 francs flne, while the editor Of the
Journal was fined 100 francs.
Paper money, with all the safe
guards which governments attempt to
throw about it, is peculiarly suscept-
ible of counterfeiting, and In the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Krausz so long as paper
money exists so long will counterfeits
be made.

The Little Old Story.


There was once q little old man and
a little old woman, and they lived in
little old house on a little old farm.
They had little old cow and little
old horse and little old dog and a
little old cat
One day the little old man dug him
load Of potatoes and started on to-
the little old town to sell them. The
little old woman took a little old
bucket and went out to the little old
barn to milk the little old COW. But no
sooner had she began her milking than
the little old cow picked up her little
old feet and kicked the little old wom-
an over. She was SO badly hurt that
she could not set up, SO she lay on the
ground calling to the little old dog,
''rpsy, Tpsy, o, Tipsyr?
The little old dog came and walked
around the little old woman and knew
not what to do. By and by she be-
gan saying, eco for your master,
Tipsy! Go for your master, Tipsyw
The little old dog, who was sitting
1colng at her with his little old
tongue hanging out Of his little old
mouth, trotted of down the road to
town.
He found the little old man in a
store, where he had just sold his po-
tatoes and was. putting his little old
pocketbook into his little old pocket.
why, bless me, here's Tipsy!' the
little old man cried when he saw the
little old dog.
Tpsy took the little old mans coat
edge between his teeth and pulled it
it. ''Tipsy, Tipsy! is there anything
wrong at homer the little old man
asked him; and when the little old
dog kept on pulling, the little old
man ran out to the little old hitching
rail, United the little old horse, jumped
in his little old wagon, and whipped
up the little old horse to as fast trot
as he could travel.
When he finally got to his little old
house he saw no little old woman any
where about, so he quickly drove back
to the little old barn, and there she
lay, still grOan1ng on the ground.
The little old man picked up the lit
tie old woman in his arms and carried
her into the little old horse and laid
her on the little old lounge. Then they
sent for the little old doctor, and he
came in his little old buggy with his
little old fat gray horse and gave the
little old woman a little old pill, SO
that she was soon well again.
But they all knew that If It had not
been for the little old dog the little
old woman might never have got well,
so they gave him the best there was
in the house to eat; but they sold the
little old COW to the little old dairy
man, who lived in little old house
back of a little old hill. And every
day the little old dog Tipsy would trot
down to make a visit to his friend the
little old cow.-St Nicholas.

Taft Is Not Surprised.

Washington, May 1.-Secretary
Taft, when made aware of the presi-
dents plan to leave Colorado on May 8,
showed no surprise, for it was known
to HIM before the president left Wash
ington that he was very doubtful of
his ability to carry out his wish to re-
main in the hunting country util the
middle of May. The president told SEQ
Rotary Taft that he feared he GOULD not
remain longer than May 8. and he con-
sequently had formed an alternative
program based on that telief. There
is no pressing emergency here requir-
ing the immediate presence of the
president.

Always Clever, In Ancient az Well as
Modern Times.
Writing In the New England Maga-
zine, Sigmund Krausz furnishes an In
teresting article ON ancient and mod
ern cOunterfeiters. The beginnings OF
this unlawful art have been traced to
the eighth century, B. c., when coun-
terfeiters were quite as clever as their
modern successors Gold and silver
plated coins were certainly known 70
Herodotus, and it is said that Poly
crates cheated the Spartans by paying
them tribute in counterfeit gold coins.
There is no evidence that any one
undertook the counterfeiting Of the
iron currency of ancient Sparta.
In the matter Of paper money and
It's counterfeits, history takes us back
to 1000 B. c., at which time China was
making use of leather notes. These
were counterfeited by the wholesale,
and the same thing was done 1000
years later, when China issued the
first real paper money. It is to be re-
marked that the Chinese did not take
kindly TO the paper currency, and the
government printed on the face Of
each note kindly warning that those
who refused to accept 1t would be be-
headed. This paternal act readily Sc
cured at least outward popularity for
the Issue.
London Is the favorite stamping
ground for counterfaters, and from
this place As headquarters hundreds Of
thousands Of counterfedts are sent out
every year. One consignment Of
|prayer-books, stopped at the Russian
frontier on its way from Nngdand, was
found to contain $1,000 counterfeit
notes Of denominations ranging from
5 to 80 rubles.
France has had her troubles with
the counterfeiting fraternity. On one
occasion gang had counteffedted the

expected that Minister Bowen will
start for Washington today, although
he may wait over one steamer.
Mr.. Bowen will make his statement

deal with the case himself, and not

bulk OF important business which will
confront the president on his return to

Johnny was an Injin big
In feathers, paint and other rig;
His wigwam fell, and, strange to tell,
A paleface Mammal was his yell.
Next he was a frightful bear
Behind the sofa was his lair;
He growled until he bumped his head,
When "Boo-hoo-hoo!" was what he said.
Then he was 4 pirate bold
And sailed away in quest Of gold;
His bark capsized, but, lucky chap
He swan ashore to some ones lap.

When Injin, bear and pirate king,
As soon as troublous times annoy,
Can turn to mammals little boy!

70 INVADE U. ?. TERRITORY.
New York Reports Hlll Lines Are "a
Enter New cield.

Enter New rleld.
New York, May 1.-The Central
News says: James J. Hill IL 70 in
wade tho Union Pacific territory with
new railroads, branching ont from hia
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
according to report credited in high
quarters in Wall street.
IAN era Of competitive railroad
building is to be substituted for the
disastrous competitive buying Of stock
that has disturbed Wall street lately.
IA truce has been declared between
the HILL Morgan group and the Stand
ard Oil party in the tsook market only.
It is generally understood that e. 81.
Hartman has turned 90 many Of his
stocks into cash that he no longer ia
the dominant power in Union Pacific.
The Standard Oil having found him
lacking in actual stocks has made a
treaty with Morgan and Hill that
leaves Hartman in the company mere
~ as nominal master.
"But this treaty does not bind the
hands Of either party, and the Hill
Morgan people propose to settle the
problem Of freight rates by building
roads into the disputed territory. They
thus will have club with which to
enforce peace, irrespective Of courts OF
stock markets.
The particular field to be invaded
first is that served by the Oregon Short
Line. The Great Northern already
completes with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company at Portland.
But it is now stated that lines are to
be dropped from the Great Northern
into other portions of the Union Pa
ciflc territory, Southern Oregon. Cali
fornia, Utah and the great Middle
West are to be invaded if the present
plans are contaminated.
"The Great Northern is in a posi-
ton to convert assets in it's treasury
into enough cash to build the proposed
lines without adding to it's capital ac-
count. The Northern Pacific is also
remarkably strong with regard to as
sets available for new construction.
