A CONSCIENCE fund
That Steadily Grows is This
Strange Account.
SOME QUEER CONTRIBUTIONS
From Various Sources Con.
science-Stricken People
Make Restitution.

Washington, April 1.-THE social
ed conscience fund" of the UniteC
States Government has reached an
other milestone in its progress, ant
by reason of recent contributions il
now amounts to a little more thar
100000. There is no more interesting
feature of the Government machinery
than the conscience fund" 1t is a
sort of non-sectarian confessional, tC
which conscience-stricken sinners who
have at some time or other fliched
from Uncle Sam bring their stories of
repentance.
In reality there is no conscience
fund" in the sense of separate and
distinct fund. All contributions ION
account of conscience" as they are
labeled at the Treasury Department,
are turned into the Treasury and are
paid out in the regular run of ap-
preparations. However, a separate ac-
count is kept of the conscience con-
tributions, and the departmental book
keepers are able to tell, on short no.
tice, the exact state of the "con-
science fund"
1t has been the policy of the Gov
eminent ever since the conscience
fund was established to exercise a
tender and solicitous regard for those
whose conscience impel them to make
restitution. Even when the amounts
involved are large the officials make
no attempt to ascertain the names or
whereabouts Of the contributors. II
has been one of the traditions of the
Treasury Department that no prosecu-
tions shall be made in such cases and
that mo questions asked" shall re-
main the policy. Most of the contri-
buttons are anonymous, but when
names are signed the department new
err permits the identity of the donors
to be revealed in the newspapers.
Acknowledgment OF the contributions
is always made through the public
press. Some of the writer's are re-
morseful for having used a few cents
worth of washed stamps. Others have
defrauded the revenues. Some have
received from the Government pay to
which they were not entitled, and so
on through a long catalogue of pecca-
dillos of which they feel they must
clear their consciences by restitution.
At least 10 per cent. of the money of
this kind comes from priests or preach
ers, who explain that the money is
returned to Uncle Sam as a result of
religious conversion following re-
vival.

FIRST CONTRIBUTION.

The first contribution to the con
science fund" was received in 1911.
1t was from a Government clerk who
restored $3.50 that he had wrongfully
taken. There were no more contri-
buttons until 1927, but following the
latter year varying amounts of con-
science money have been received
annually. The high water mark was
reached in 1902, when the conscience
receipts were s3S.S6S.22. The largest
item ever received came from Lon
don. The Consul General there trans
mitted a draft for $14,225.15, paid to
him in English money by. the Rev.
Plebendary Barff, vicar of st. Giles
church, London. The sum was intrust-

REMARKABLE STORY
Which Rivals the Best Efforts
Of Fiction Writers.
LOVE, ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY
Woven Tricky in the Lives
of This Ardent Ken
lucky Couple.

Ashland, KY, April lin a quiet
little farm house that stands on a
hillside in Kentucky not far from
Cannonsburg, in the ig Sandy val
ley, there comes the closing chapter
of story of romance, tragedy and at
the last, happiness, that makes fiction
read like prosaic reality.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out, Arthur Price and Syble
Stratford lived on adjoining farms in
the Big Sandy valley, within the shad-
ow Of the towering Cumberlands, and
through the years that ran from child
hood to young man and womanhood
Arthur and Syble grew closer and
closer in each others life until the
streams of their affection burst forth
into the mighty river of love that
was to know no end. Syble was eight
cen and Arthur just twenty-one years
of age when the clarion call of the
war bugle went winding through the
brakes of the Big Sandy and found
response in the brave youngKentuck
ian's heart. K was hard to say the
words to the beautiful Kentucky girl
he had learned to love better than
his own life, but when the time ar
rived for him to answer his coun-
try's call he laid aside the call of love
and turned his face to duty.
When he went away, dressed in his
country's uniform, a stalwart speci-
men Of young Kentucky manhood, the
last caress was from the blue-eyed
girl who loved him so well that she
whispered: "Ill wait, dear, until you
come back to me; I'll never marry
anybody else as long as l shall live"
And so Arthur Price went away to
Cuba in defense of his country's hon
or and fought with Uncle Sans de-
tenders until the battle of San Juan,
when he was struck down by bullet
from a Krag-JorgensOn, which tore
a piece from his skull and injured him
so seriously that for months he hover
ed between life and death-and in the
meantime word reached the little
farmhouse in the Big Sandy Valley
that Arthur Price was dead, and
pretty girl who had loved him so we'll
gave up all hope of future happiness.
For months, Arthur Price fingered
in the hospital, his mind blank, and
when he finally began to recover he
had forgotten his name, his home, in
fact everything connected with his
past. So he was placed on a trans
port with lot of others who had been
hurt in the war and sent back to New
York, but under another name. When
he reached the metropolis, he knew
nowhere to go and no one; even those
who had fought by his side knew
aught of his past or of the location
OF his home.
For awhile he drifted about New
York, believing his name TO be
