With the aid and by the influence of
farmers. who were led to believe that
this bill would help them settle a
hard question of light and fuel Many
of them thought that after this bill
was passed the average farmer would
be able to make alcohol on the farm
at low price. and that he could use
this alcohol in place of other fuel
The result has been disappointing to
such farmers. The price of alcohol
is still so high that it cannot be used

trees should be watched carefully for

And wait minute, you needn't agree right now, but meet me at ten o'clock in the morning and go with me to the Nine teenth National and see my friend for yourself"
 The two agreed to meet Cleland on the morrow and said goodnight. And what do you think of it?" inquired Floyd as they went down on the ele- vator. I'm a little afraid of it"
 Well, let's look into it, anyway" re- turned Solomon If there's a chance to pick up some easy money, I want it.
 On the following morning they were convinced that the deal was a good one when they went to the Nineteenth National with Cleland, and visiting the safety vault section of the bank, met Danny Roberts as that young man came out of small compartment in his shirt sleeves with a package of papers in his hands and a pencil be- hind his ear. Danny looked the part of busy clerk and they heard him whisper nervously to Cleland that it was all right" He added that he would be at the appointed place at precisely F o'clock
 The appointed place was small dingy office of dilapidated build ing on New street. Cleland ex- plained that it was the office of friend who dealt in curb stocks and was seldom in, but allowed him free use of the place. The trio were wait ing when Danny Roberts, carrying suit case, entered. He immediately took from the case two packages, ex. actly alike in appearance and as to outer signs and seals.

see a sure and quick profit, and asked for particulars.
 Its perfectly simple" explained Cleland. T once did young fellow a good turn and kept him out of lot of trouble. He's the trusted messenger in the Nineteenth National bank here now. This bank is the clearing house for lot of smaller banks and also gets the biggest part of the city's de- posits. They get thousands of dollars in old and dirty money every week which they turn in to the subtreasury on Wall street, getting new bills in re turn. This young friend of mine has been the messenger and made the ex- changes. He says they never even open the sealed packages of bills that he takes to them and which have been certified to by the officers of the bank. The subtreasury simply o Ks the amount on the back of the package and forwards it with lot of similar bundles to Washington, where the old and dirty money is never counted, but just ground up and destroyed. He has thought the whole plan out and says he can substitute a phony package for the one with the old bills in it. He has to have some one in the deal with him, for he would never dare to try to get rid of the old money. I saw him this afternoon and tomorrow he will have to make his regular weekly trip, and the package already is made up with s90,O00 in good money in 1t. All he wants is half for his share and can give him sf5.O0O in s1O0 and $500 clean bills and take the package.

Gambling in Green Goods
 By JOHN IRVING DAY Garnering the Gold by Unique Method, Originated
 and Practiced by Doc" Floyd
By JOHN WING DAY

Whats the game, Floyd?' inquired Jack Cleland who had visited his friends room in the hotel ten minutes after they had reached the big Broad way hotel
 Well, old top, you know what we are on here for" was the reply. You've got to sell an order of green goods to some one. You are lucky because I've already found your man for you. It must be some one, so why not our friend Solomon? He's already delivered himself"
 The trio met in the lobby of the hotel few moments later and Solo, mon insisted on having just one drink before they parted company for the day and then also insisted that they dine together that evening. The only dissipation Cleland would indulge in that evening after dinner was the the ater to which he consented to accom- pany Floyd and Solomon. After the theater, however, Floyd was indeed the gay man of law away from home for good time and he put Solomon through such paces as to endear him to the heart of that boisterous person.
 This journey through the tenderloin was followed by another. Solomon liked the gay life but was beginning to have a pain in his pocketbook, so that when the third evening after his arrival in Gotham, Cleland proposed another game of cards, saying that he wanted revenge for his loss on the train, there was ready consent on the

THE DIVORCE PROBLEM.

A clergyman college professor stren- uously protests against divorce and urges the necessity of marriage tie that can be broken only by death. No sane person who honestly has at heart the best interests of society in gen eral will differ from the professor, but the difficulty with his proposition is that it begins in the wrong place. If the church and the law paid half the attention to marriage that they do to divorce the divorce problem would be reduced to a mighty small minimum. The blind, halt and foolish are permit ted to wed without let or hindranee The state and the church make no in- quiry whatever, says the Chicago Eve ming Journal. Anyone-eyen those manifestly unfit to marry-can be welded on request, a condition which manifestly makes for marital unrest and dissatisfaction, and is largely pro ductiye of divorce. Give marriage more safeguards, and the courts will find much less necessity to interfere with family relations. But those who expect to remove the effect without eliminating the cause are attempting a task very near the impossible.

 Well, I'll tell you on one condition D agreed Cleland. That condition is that you come in on the deal with me. I haven't got enough capital to put it through, anyway. There's no danger in it, and it's a sure way to make a big haul"

 According to an iron trade bulletin, devoted to Mexican development, it appears that the iron industry in that country is capable of wonderful expan- sion, says the New York Financier. The celebrated iron mountain of Du- rango, the Carro del Mercado, is of worldwide fame and it is claimed to be one of the most valuable iron de posits in the world, both as to quality and quantity. It is estimated to con- tain 300,0OO,00 tons of 70 per cent. ore above the level of the plains. There is another mountain near the mouth of the Balsas river which is valuable largely because of it's accessibility to the sea and, therefore, to the markets of the world. This mountain is be- lieved to contain over one billion me tric tons of ore low in phosphate and averaging more than 50 per cent of iron. Other deposits in the mineral regions of Mexico indicate possible yields of several hundred million tons of high-grade ore. and along the Pacific coast there are equally valuable de- posits.
