ward time bills to their European correspond

bills discounted and drawing their equivalent
demand bills against the credit thus created,
the exchange houses know definitely toe cost of
the credit utilized. This is not the case when
they draw their demand bills against open
credit for on such credit the rate is change

heard the story. and hardly giving
the other two miners time to collect
their thoughts he had grabbed the
Mexican by the arm and was drag
cling him toward the desert, exclai-
ming: Tell me where you saw my
child. Quick tell me-" 1t was a
fact that the Mexican had been
startled by the child. who seeing the
man rushed crying toward him for
succor. The Mexican was as diligent
as the others in the search when he
realized that out there on the desert
he had left lost infant. and his
companions had to run to keep up
with him as he retraced his steps and
soon had the child tight in his arms.
The miners took the fomily into

VALUABLE WHISKY.
Lost Fifty-Three Years Ago Will
Be Recovered From
Steamboat.

If the latest story which comes
out of the upper Missouri River is
true. the news will cause delight TO
lovers of good whisky. The same
report has been sent abroad at ir-
regular intervals for years. but this
time il seems to have some founda-
ton on fact. The story is to the eff
feet that after lying in the mud and
sand of the Missouri River for SO
years the old steamboat City of New
Orleans has been uncovered by the
recent high water. and It's cargo of
100 barrels of whisky will probably
be recovered.
The City of New Orleans was one
Of the early steamboats, which piled
the Missouri River. and was owned
by Captain La Barge. of st. Louis.
In 1852 the boat went up, having a
cargo of 100 ban rels of whisky for a
fur trader near Sioux City. During
the night the boat struck snag and
sank, the crew taking to the boats.
Originally the cargo was supposed
to have been valued at SIS. 200, but
whisky that has been ripened undis-
turbed in the dark for SO years is
worth much more than nine cents a
gallon to-day.
John Mccarthy and another Iresi-
dent of Bellevue were rowing to the
mainland, il is said, when they were
astonished to see the remains of the
old boat imbedded in the sand. The
story of the City Of New Orleans is
known all along the river here. and
the news quickly spread. Excite
ment soon was aroused. Mccarthy
made hasty examination, and dis
covered whisky barrels in the hold,
but none has yet been recovered.
Arrangements are being made here
to take the barrels from the wreck.

The Profession of Getting Hurt
Theodore waltea


Some years ago while preparing
an article on the ingenious strata
gems of people who pretend to be i'll
in order that they may be allowed
to occupy a soft bunk in hospital.
| was amazed to find a man who,
complaining of great pain in his
toes, was having them amputated
one by one merely that he might
spend the winter in st. Luke's Hos
pital, New York. That seemed the
very quintessence Of paradox, the
snatching of comfort from the lap
of pain. But there are people who
make regular business of getting
hurt; people who are eager to be
thrown down and dragged by trolley
cars, to suffer much bodily pain, to
be mutilated. even to court death.
for the sake of few dollars, And
the number of these gamblers with
fate is so great that when they flock
thickest, there also hurry lawyers
who are eager to share in the spoil.
These extracts and statements
give, however, but an mixing of the
real condition and its extent. Be-
fore me as l write are the signed
and sworn-to confessions of many
men and women who have entered
into conspiracies to defraud, who
have undergone torture to bolster
up case, and who have been cor
roborated by witnesses who were
ready to swear to any wild story
under the schooling of lawyers to
whom the crime of champerty would
appear to have become obsolete.
And this is true not only of one city
but of many, if not of all certainly
of all the leading cities: for | have
observed the condition in New York.
in Chicago, in Philadelphia, in Bos-
ton, in st. Louis. in Cleveland, and
found it fragrant indeed, and COM
munications received from many
other cities prove it to be well-nigh
universal.
