Managers and employees of great institutions are found to be little better than the thieves and housebreakers who prowi under cover of darkness, and almost every day brings its fresh scandal.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland holds
the only warrant for one cent ever
drawn by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury upon the United States Treasurer.
1t was in payment Of the balance Of
the salary due the Democratic chief
tain at the close of his term in 1897,
and it's issuance was made necessary
by one of those mistakes that are rare
on the part Of the expert bookkeepers
engaged in running the accounts Of
the government
Every quarter the President Of the
United States is entitled to three
checks-one for $4, 1866 and two for
$4, 1861 The table of methods Of
paying government salaries shows
that if the $4,000 year for the Pres
ident is divided into twelve equal in
stallments, one for each month, the
amount will be $4,166.66 %, but the
tWo-thirds of a cent cannot be paid
at the end of month, and so the
practice is TO send the President a
check for $4,1G6.66 one month and the
other two months of the quarter the
amount is 81, 1867.
In some manner President Cleye-
land failed to get a check one month
for the extra cent that was due him,
and when the books were balanced at
the close of his term it was detected.
With all due solemnity the officers of
the treasury drew the famous warrant
for one cent, and Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived it with the same amount of Sc
robustness. He has never cashed the
warrant.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in a young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds Of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia e. Pinlham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the

anything else. ut is "A mans job he
said land If a man is successful it ought
to be enough to keep him busy the rest Of

He said he was able to outline his policy
in this general way because he was not IA
miliar with any of the details of the office.
He had never visited the police headquar-
tiers and was not sure he could find it
without a guide. 1t Is his intention to
take things they come and If reforms
are needed he says they will be insti-
tutcd.
