This little recreation. at present in

The game is played at night and be-
Gins with the upsettins Of an umbrella

sits up. If the bed saueaks, it counts tive
points in favor of the burglar. The
burglar receives three points in addition
for each oath of the householder.
The householder rises and seiZos his re-
vo!ver. II the revolver is loaded. the
hou scholder counts ten. II 1t can md his
slippers he counts fifteen.

fifty points, however for cach tack he

! hazards are made by (rocking -cl,airs,

There are many variations to this

DID THE REV. SAMUEL LEE INVENT
THE DOLLAR SIGN
To the Editor of the Free Press:

A special interest attaches to little
volume which l placed in the city library
a few years ago. 1t is supposed TO be the
first book in which the dollar sign % was
ever used. The introduction is dated at
Burlington. VI. January 81. 1897. Its title
abbreviated is THE American Accompt-
ant; Il Compendium of Federal Arith-
metic" and the author, "Chauncey Lee,

Of three judges of the superior court of
Vermont. of the president of Williams

This is the Rev. Chauncey Lee who was
for nine years the settled minister of
Sunderland. Vt. then came tn Burling-
ton and preached for the people here in

possible that he came at the request of

The table OF federal money occurs on

of the signs. One line above number

similar lines stand for cents; two lines

and the one for cents are used Throughout,

c. s. Northrup, the Chicago man
who came to Johnson City in connec-
ton with the sale of Hotel Carnegie
some months ago, has been convicted
of obtaining money under false pre-
tense and sentenced to the penitentiary
for five years by the Knox county
criminal court. The case has been ap.
pealed to the supreme court and will be
passed upon by that tribunal in few
days. In the meantime the bondsmen
have given Northrup up and he is in
jail The specific charge against him
is that he obtained DR., j. L. Spence's
endorsement to note for "a, 900 and
obtained the money upon it for the pur-
pose of using the funds to pay lien
notes on the hotel due the Travellers
Insurance Company and used the mon
ey for other purposes. The warrant
was sworn out by Dir. Spence after re-
peated efforts had been made to settle
the matter otherwise.
