EVERY BIT OF PAPER CURRENCY
HAS TRAVELLED IN OLD
WAGON.
For Twenty-Six Years 1t Has Been
Sole Means of Conveyance of
Green and Yellow Backs.

WASHINGTON, D.. G., Oct. Iii
Visitors to Washington who have their
eyes open may see, once OF twice a
day. a big closed wagon drawn by
Fifteenth street and back up against
the curb at one of the entrances to the
treasury department. There is nothing
from lots of others, except that there
beside the driver and two other men
standing on the back step. But when
packages that are taken off the wagon

and the comings and gOings of the
attract little attention.
Yet there is a romance about that
van which reaches out to every man,
,Homan and child in the country who
has spent a dollar bill or any other
ar1ount in currency for that matter, in
the last 26 years. For every piece of
paper money hat 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 today.
A recent calculation produced some
rather remarkable comparisons. For
instance the report says: 1T would

"king Dodo."

Probably the most fanciful as well
as ~laughable monarch the stage has
ever had in the long line of rulers
which have come from time to time is
jolly King Dodo" who m to the
Keylor Grand soon. King DOdo' is a
far cry from the conventional monarch
of thespia. Everything he does and
everything he say is quite original.
The merry old chap is looking for the
fountain of youth, and in order to
regain his lost years he resorts to all
kinds of doings. Finally, however, he
does find it, not through his own free
will, but through an accident, but
once that he is young again, he discov-
ers that youth. too, has it's drawbacks,
for In becoming a boy again he has
lost the love of a regal queen upon
whose possessions he happens to be
at the time, and to whom he has taken
a violent liking. Fortunately. it all
out as it should, for another
accident gives him back the years.
There is but one opinion to this comic
opera-"There is no King but Dodo.''

deals with a certain condition in social
life found in any large city, and also
with the methods employed by the
police in extorting confessions from
those accused of crime, and in doing
so, assuming powers never conferred
by law. 1t is worthy of note that the
play started a movement against this
nefarious practice on the part of the
police, which has had it's effect in New
York. where only recently New York's
chief police officer was compelled to
resign as a result of public protest
against his arrogant and dictatorial
methods.

Leslie Toke declared that the country
was rapidly r~elapsing into h~eathendom.
On all sides were complaints of empty
churches. of the detection of the
young. of an increase of vice and
personal indulgence, and a growing
devotion to materialist interests. One
of the causes was the divisions and
quarrels in Christendom, especially in
this distracted country. A drifting
crowd of thoughtful and disillusioned
young men and women of all classes
formed ready material for active ra-
tionalist propaganda. One of the fore
most indirect causes OF rat!Onalism's
growth was the system Of undenOmin-
ational education inaugurated in 1870.
The terrible leakage had a connection
with the economic and social tyran-
mics of modern England. The rapid
concentration of great wealth had been
by a positively scandalouS
expenditure upon Superfiuities, and

"The Shepherd King"

The success that a hitherto at
tended the efforts of Wright Lorimer
and his company Of players goes far
to discount-if not to discredit-the
wal sent up by those pessimistic peo-
pie who cry that the serious drama in
America is but the fad of the few
and that its adequate presentation
must eventually spell ruin for the
manager who is so foolhardy or over
confident of his public as to produce
it.
Within the last twelve months plays
of the most vital import have drawn
crowds of intelligent people to the
keylor Grand theatre and what more
hitting dramatic attraction could be
round to inaugurate the regular dra-
matte season at this popular house
than the Biblical story of the friend
ship Of David and Jonathan and the
rise of the former to be king over
Israel.

In the splendid climax to the third

passionate denunciation.
