Not Like a Tax Receipt.

Accustomed to have the political
boss Of his ward provide him with a
tax receipt, an organization follower
went to the same boss with a de-
mand for favor "Will you get me
a marriage license?" he asked.
"That I can't do" explained the pol
itician, because you have to APP
pear in person when you get a mar
riage license" This answer to the
political worker seemed evasive, and
he demanded to know: GLOW is it
that you can get me a tax receipt
every time there is an election? The
marriage license costs just the
same To this further inquiry the
politician gave a long explanation,
but it was not quite satisfactory to
the humble worker in the cause of

to render counterfeiting more and
more difficult.
Our own government guards with
extreme care every detail of the maa

Importance upon it's secret of getting
silk thread into the composition of the
paper itself.
The efforts of this government, how
ever, are not nearly so painstaking as
those put forth in making the fimsy
paper used for Bank of England notes,
which are probably the finest paper
money in the world These notes are
manufactured froA Tine Irish linen,

name) produce paper OF purity and
texture unsurpassed. The secret of
the security of the Bank of England
note against forgery and counterfeit
Ing is said to be entirely in the paper
itself and not in the printing.
In addition, the notes show water
mark so cleverly devised that an eX-
pert from the mill can tell by a glance
at the date of manufacture the very
name of the employee who made it.
The watermark is produced by a de-
sign countersunk in the woven wire
bottoms of the trays in which the hot
paper pulp is poured and dried. 1t has
never been successfully initiated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as of every
thing in the MILL There is, of course,
staff Of police constantly in attend

quarters, nine miles away.
The watchmen who patrol the mill
corridors every night must pass at
each quarter of an hour clocks of won
derfully ingenious construction, the re-
volving dials of which are pierced with
holes, which at the precise moment
the Waterman is due before them pass
over a slot. The Waterman pushes
through peg he carries, and the clock
ticks on. Should he not present him

to appear, however, the timepiece i'm

MYSTERY IN GlRL'SDEATH
La Grange, ILL.,, Police Fail to Learn
Identity of. Pretty Young Woman
Who Was Found Dead.

Chicafo, Ill.-In the morgue at
La Grange, suburb of Chicago is
the body of pretty girl, fashionably
gowned. Neither the police of Chi
cago nor the suburb have been able
to learn the identity of the woman,
or to determine whether she was MUIR
dered or had committed suicide.
A plain gold ring, with the initials
Il. F." engraved on the band, is the
only clew the police have to her
identity. An empty bottle that had
contained carbolic acid was found be-
side the body. The fact that the
girls hat was missing has caused an
investigation to be made on theory
that the young woman might have
been. murdered and the bottle left to
cover up the crime.

not help her and I tried several RENE
dies but without avail. Seeing the
