Van in Washington Carted Mil
lions Of Dollars Through City.
Wagon Has Carried Bills That Would
Cover Road Fifty Miles Wide
from Atlantic to Pacific
Some Comparisons.

Washington.-Visit to Washing
toi who have their eyes open may see,
once or twice a day, big closed wag-
on drawn by three sturdy white horses
drive up Fifteenth street and back up
against the curb at one of the en-
frances to the treasury department.
There is nothing especially TO distin-
guish this wagon from lots of others,
except that there are usually two men
on the front seat beside the driver and
two other men standing on the back
step. But when the visitor notices
the number of packages that are taken
of the wagons. this extra complement
of attendants ceases to occasion COM
ment or surprise. 1t seems to be quite
natural, and the comings and goings
OF the wagon attract little attention.
Yet there is a romance about that
van which reaches out to every man,
woman and child in the country who
has spent a dollar bill or any other
amount in currency, for that matter,
In the last 26 years. For every piece
of paper money that has been issued
in the United States during that time
has first ridden in that wagon, and
the total equals all the money there
is in the world to-day.
A recent calculation produced some
rather remarkable comparisons. For
instance. the report says:
1T would take a string of hay wag-
ons 20 miles long to hold the money
that has passed through this old van.
II the packages were piled one on top
OF the other they would make a monu-
ment Is miles high. If the bills were
placed end to end the string would be
100000 miles long, or equal to ten
times the distance around the world.
They would carpet road so feet
wide from New York to San Francis
co. Their weight in coal would sup
ply the average family with fuel for
$50 years. Had an expert begun count
ing this money In the days of Colum-
bus he would have been half through
when President Taft was inaugu-
rated"
So Il is rather an interesting old
wagon after all. It's trips are not long,
although they are so important. II
brings the currency from the bureau
of engraving and printing, where 1t
Is printed, to the treasury department,
scarcely half mile away. The money
is packed in bundles, each weighing
1914 pounds, and each containing 1000
sheets with four bills 20 the sheet
The value of each package depends
OF course. upon the denomination or
size" of the bills it contains. One
| package which was composed alto
gether of $4,000 bills and was worth
Si0,O00,O00 was once hauled. That
was an exceptional bundle, but even
when the bills are OF the lowest de-
nomination, one dollar, the packages
are worth $4,000 each.
II is because of the value of its
loads that the old wagon is accompa.
MED by four men. two in front and
two behind, besides the driver. Uncle
Sam is not taking any chances on a
"hold-up" even If the drive is so short.
Each of these men is heavily armed
and ready TO tackle any man or party
of men that should attempt wild
West" display in the neighborhood of
| the wagon.

supported on Mars, and | personally
have been of the same opinion as my
eminent friend, Camille Flammarion.
the great French astronomer-my
countryman as well as my friend
that Mars is in many respects a world
similar to our own, peopled by beings
Of most intelligent order There is
every evidence of It in my mind.
The canals on Mars, first pointed
out by the Italian Schiaparelli. are by
no means hypothetical. They are too
regular in formation to be anything
other than the work of intelligent
minds and hands. They resemble
netting all over the face Of the planet,
the main canals extending from the
poles to the equator. At certain points
where a number of the canals con
verge there is what Lowell and other
astronomers now term cases These
points of conveyance are, believe,
big cities.
1T is. Of course. extremely improb-
able that any telescope will ever be
constructed so large and of such pow.

tect the fora or fauna of Mars or any
other of the inhabited planets. If other

UNEARTHS AN ANCIENT IDOL

A strange image, supposed to be an
ancient idol. recently was unearthed
by Charles A. Ashby, who owns an
extensive farm near Deer Park. Gar

carved stone about eight inches in
length which apparently has been in

of human being, we'll proportioned

A week or 2 ago Miss Phoebe
Hilderbrand, our fashionable
Idress-maker, was sent a second
hand city newspaper by her mar
Iried sister, who lives to the Co.
seat, in which Phoebe read a piece
about where the women of this
cOuntry are getting up clubs every
where and demanding the right to
vote at the eleckshions and else
where just like men do. Sich wo-
men call themselves sufferagetts,
lwhatever that means.
! Phoebe, who is a strong minded
woman herself, and has ALWAYS
been more or less interested in
women's rights, desided she would
get up a sutferagetts club in Bing-
vile to agitate the work of women
voting at our annual Bingville
town meeting. SO she went and
called a mass meeting of the wo-
men of Bingville at her home
last Thursday to disckuss plans
and spesihckashions for organizing
a sufferagetts club.
The meeting was attended by
about % Of the most respectable
women of Bingville. Phoebe. who
was president of the meeting, out
lined her plans for a sufferagett
club and Mrs. Cyrus HosbinS. who
was big in for II, made a moshion
that such a club be formed there
and then and that all present would
Jine 1t. The moshion was seek
onded by Miss Polly Whitcomb.
who IS old enuff to vote, being as
Polly must be near bout 40 and
wants her rights.
The moshion was disckust pro
and con. Mrs. Amos HilIyer, wife
Iof Our talented loryer and legal
lite, riz up and said she wouldn' t
be a member of no such a club be-
ing as she thort it was undigni-
fed for a woman to vote thereby
placing herself on an equal with
unskruplus men politishians. Mrs.
Elillyer then sat down. Phoebe
then spoke up and told Mrs. Hill
yer that of course IT was eckspeckt-
ed there would be some women in
Blngville who would have enuff
sense to cast a ballot intelligent
even if they had right to vote.
Follering which Mrs. Hillyer
called Phoebe cat and flounced
of home in disgust.
However, the vote was took and
IL women outen the whole number
present jined the club and pledged
themselves to promote women's
suffrage.
