SMALL BILLS ARE ScARcER
Dwindling in Number of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Ex-
haustion of Silver Bullion,

Washington.-The treasury depart.
ment is having difficult time in filing
orders from national banks for one and
tWo-dollar bills. The volume of free
currency of these denominations has
Deen dwindling at very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or five months. and is
now so small that it is necessary to limit
the number that may be doled out to the
banks.
The shortage of money is charged by
treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton of the silver bullion. AS is gener-
ally known, silver certificates of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as guaran-
tee for the paper money. When con-
gress stopped the purchase Of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remained in
the possession of the government a tre.
mendous amount of the uhcoined metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since, but practically
the last bit Of 1t was coined in February
OF this year, when the mints turned out
$4,000 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume of circulating currency in
the most popular form OF money-the
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning of every days busi-
ness treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port of the number of free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day, and this limit is rigidly
adhered to. 1t frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tions for addition notes cut in half
Sometimes their demands are honored

WELLS OF THE DESERT.
Are the Property of the One Who Digu
Them and Are Not Always
Dependable.

When the "tenderfoot' nrst strikes tn,
desert country he is surprised to lear
that he is expected to pay for the waite.
he uses for himself and for his beast A
little later, says the author Of THE Mys.
tic Mid-Region," he becomes indignan,
upon finding himself unable to purchase
even a small quantity because of the
extreme caution Of the proprietor OF
some desert we'll where he has expected
to replenish his stock Of water.
1t is not an unusual happening for the
desert-traveler, who has toiled hours
over the burning sands after his supply
OF water has been used up, to find the
desert-dweller unwilling to spare drop
OF his scanty supply. Not all deser,
wells are dependable, and sometimes
the solitary dweller of the oasis finds
his supply exhausted. He then has to
haul all the water he uses 40 or so miles
until such time as the winter rains come
to replenish the vein which feeds his
we'll
Men tortured by thirst become des-
perate. A thirsty man knows no law
save that of might. Not long ago re.
spectacle citizen of q little California
town had occasion to cross the desert at
point where water-holes were few and
far apart. He depended upon obtaining
water at certain ranch, established nj
one OF the oases on his route, and when
he arrived there he and his guide and
burros were In sad condition. having
been several hours without water. He
gave his guide five-dollar gold piece
and told him to see the rancher and pur
chase the water necessary to carry them
to the next watering place. It happened
that the rancher's well was in danger of
going dry, and he declined the money.
He refused to part with any water.
Pleadings were unavailing, and the
guide returned to his employer and re-
ported his inability to make DEAL Then
the staid citizen arose, and, with a ten
iollar gold piece In one hand and a re- |
'olver In the other. sought the rancher.
There is ten dollars for the water. II
you VIII sell It," he said, "and II not. I
hall take 1t, anyway! Now which shall
I be?"
There was but one reply to an argu-
nent OF that kind; the rancher sulkily
'ccepted the money, the brackish water
vas drawn from the well, and the Jour
icy was soon resumed. As result of
his transaction, however, the rancher
vas obliged to take 4O-mile Journey
'ver the desert and back, to replenish
is water-supply from another well.

silkworms in Ribbon.

Some ambitious silkworms OF the
neighborhood Of Venice have woven
by themselves ribbon three yards
long and three inches wide. When they
reached the chrysalis stage. instead of
weaving round cocoons on the twigs
prepared for them. they preferred to
travel up and down the smooth side Of
strip Of wood nine feet long and
three inches wide. Back and forth
they went. spinning their silken web.
until at last they made a beautiful
ribbon, transparent In its center and
golden yellow at the heavier edges.
The scarf is amazingly strong for .
fabric so delicately woven.

cided to prepare bill for presentation
to the state legislature which will pro-
vide for uniform Interpretation of the
license law in all counties of the state.
The decision to form a blacklist of
"dead-beat patrons" was the outcome
OF comparison of worthless checks
and drafts by the members. Every
man in the meeting had at least one
worthless check or draft that had been
passed on him by some one of his
guests.
charles f. Federman, the secretary,
counted them all up and announced
mat the hotel proprietors in the state
mad been mulcted for more than $780,

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 2.-Dan Patch
against his own world s record, which
embraces all the choice marks from
quarter of mile to two miles, sulky
and wagon included, coupled with
Cresceus, one-time champion trotter of
the world, will be the double harness
bill offered as an attraction at harness
meetings within another year.
The purchase of Cresceus by M. w.
Savage, and the queries as to the flu
ture Of the famous "two- minute track'
here by Mr.. Savage, indicates that the
former trotting champion and the pres
ent king of PAGERS will be sent on a
tour which will be noteworthy for the
first time in harness history that pac-
ing king and champion trotting stall
lion have been exhibited against time
together.
On top of this statement, however,
comes the announcement that there is
sure to be protest at the coming meet
ing Of the board of review of the Ma
tional Trotting association against the
acceptance of the recent record Of 1:5S
registered by Dan Patch in his mile
without WIND shield.
! There will be no trouble over this,
said NJ. W. Savage last night. "The
only protest that can be filed is that
Dan, holding the 1:55 mark cannot go
back and hold the 1:5S mark. I do not
really care whether the mark is &C.
cepted or not as the public knows Dan
