owing to the misspelling of a single
word. In 1888 several hundred thou
sand greenbacks were Cancelled before

ploye was convicted for attempting to

with the intention Of selling them to
collectors.
The Austrian government IS so in
tolerant of mistakes that 1t cancels
documents not only on the ground of
serious mistakes or misspellins, but
even as the result of a misshapen let
ter. The use of a small instead OF a
capital B in the word 'Briefe" led,
short time ago. to the destruction of
$4,000 forms issued 20 the various post
Offices.
The Washington times., 1906-04-08

In 1850 an Austrian designer of bank
notes signed his name in tiny letters
at the foot of a drawing The en-
graver copied the name, and before the
mistake was discovered 10000 notes
were printed, all OF which had to be
burned.
A symbolic -ure on another Aus
trian note was maliciously given a
beard, which could be seen II the note
were held at a certain angle in the
light.
Before the union of ITALY more than
one attempt was secretly made to turn
official papers and notes TO propagan-
dist uses. A custom house regulation
form was so spaced by the compost
tor that the initial words in every line.
If read consecutively. were a declara-
tion against the papal claim to govern
Rome
In another case the spacing of words
in certain bank notes was so arranged
that by drawin~ a pencil line in par
ticular way a rude outline or the arms
of Savoy resulted. These notes, OF
course, never saw the light. the device
being too obvious to escape detection.
IN 1901 a Spanish engraver was
The Washington times., 1906-04-08

heard boasting that he had signed his
name on every one of ten thousand
bank notes just about to be issued.
When called up and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION he declared that he had been
joking. But an examination of the
notes showed that certain letters in
one line were raised a microscopicel
distance above those next to them.
These raised letters spelled the en-
ploye's name Seven hundred and fifty
dollars was the price paid by the aU-
thorities for their engraver's joke
The Kaiser's persistent Interference

Of course, the rabbits do not

the higher criticism has hard-boiled
them.
The limited field Of its pictorial
possibilities proves that Easter, of
all our festival days, is the most
vague and shifting in our conception.
1t belongs TO oil religions, although
the pagans invented it. Going back
still further to the first spring, we
can see Eve choosing with pride a
new green leaf from the tree ficus

Now, the object OF this critical and
learned preamble is 10 set forth the
theorem that Easter is neither a
date. a season, a festival, holiday,
nor an occasion. What it is you
shall find out if you follow in the
footsteps of Danny McCree.
Easter Sunday dawned as it
should. bright and early, in its place
on the calendar between Saturday
and Monday. At 5:24 the sun rose.

and washed his face at the sink. His
mother was frying bacon. She look

countenance as he juggled with the
round cake of soap, and thought of
his father when she first saw him
stopping hot grounder between
second and third twenty-five years
before on a vacant lot in Harlem
where the La Paloma apartment
house now stands. In the front
room of the fat Danny's father sat
by an open window smoking his
pipe, with his disheveled gray hair
tossed about by the breeze. He still
clung to his pipe, although his sight
had been taken from him two years
before by a precocious blast of giant
! powder that went off without per-
! mission. Very few blind men care
for smoking, for the reason that they
cannot see the smoke. Now, could
you enjoy having the news read to
you from an evening newspaper
unless you could see the colors of
the headlines?

ENsLAvING OF THE CHILD.

Vast Armies of Puny Children Wear
ing Out Their Unhappy Lives.
The factory wants the child. There
Is little to suggest the Magic Piper in
Its whistle, yet the summons brings
the children scurrying down the bro
ken stairs of poverty and want, and
the factory doors close upon them by
tens Of thousands leaving their child
hood outside. The factory wants the
child and will pay for him; the child,
and often his parents, can see no value
in a birthright as balanced against a
little handful of silver; only the state
and the disinterested public are left
to care and protest.
Perhaps the present attitude of tenn
pered humanity, which still allows
children Of thirteen to work all night
and keeps boys and girls of nine from
ten to fourteen hours at the spindles for
wages ranging from ten to twenty
cents, will seem as incomprehensible,
one hundred years hence, as the past
factories does to us. But the new
measure Of what is humane cannot be-
come established unless we know
clearly what is happening and how
and where the children are at work.
Knowing, we must care. Ruskin said,
Luxury. at present. can only be en-
joyed by the ignorant; the cruelest
man living could not sit at his feast
unless he sat blindfold."
Picture an army Of one million,
seven hundred thousand children, all
under fifteen, and then realize that

to school and playground, but to the

the number of girls, one hundred and

increase had been added to the popu-

labor agitation of the past few years,
