then, as the mountain breezes were

crowd stated that whether it did or
didn't he was there, and they were
going to have him, and off they rushed
him to the Glenwood Springs hotel to
show him the wonderful public bath
with the towns famous warm springs.
Now, bath before breakfast is a very
pleasurable thing to take, but the way
the president was to take this did not
suit him in the least The thoughtful
people of Glenwood had prepared
specially-constructed bathing suit for
the president, and dozen or so for
the members of the party, and the pro-
gram was that the president was to
patter down into the pool on one side,
while the multitude watched from the
other side. The president positively
declined this courtesy, and reluctantly

A GENERAL cleanup of the records
"A of the postoffice department in
Washington recently brought to light
list of postal routes existing in the
United States in 1909, together with a
schedule of the time in which those
routes should be covered. The PAM
phlets were issued by Gideon Granger.
who was postmaster general under
Jefferson in 1901 and continued under
Madison in 1909. They are the earli-
est records of their kind now in the
possession of the. department.
In front of each pamphlet is list
of the rules and regulations which
governed the distribution of the mails
just 100 years ago. They were brief
and to the point, and contained some
curious stipulations. In addition, the
pamphlet contained fines levied upon
mail carriers for delivering wet mails
and for other shortcomings.
The general rules were as follows:

pedite the mails and after the time
of arrival and departure at any time

Chickens Adopted by a Police Cat

From time to time their pitiful chirps
could be heard, and as night came on
these increased in frequency and
plaintiveness. The chirps came from
under stable in the rear of the sta
ton, where the two little foundlings
had sought shelter.
Members of the precinct command
say that during the evening the cat
appeared to be acting strangely. In
stead of roaming about the SQUAD
room, as was her usual custom. she
wandered about the rooms on the
lower floor of the station, and occa-
sionally made visits to the basement.
No significance was given her queer
actions, but many of the policemen
wondered why their feline mascot did
not visit them and get her usual even
ing pettings.
The next morning the cause of the
cats strange actions was explained.

WASHINGTON Sam is now
w too big, too prosperous and too
much in a hurry even to count his
money, and instead of counting his
coins by hand he simply runs them
through a sort of hopper, operated by
electricity, and an automatic register
shows how many go through. The
coins fall into bag and are tied up
and sealed, the government guaran-
teeing that the correct number are in
the bag.
The machine can make no mistake,
hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making
his guaranty. In this way all the
money is now being counted out at
Washington, to go to the subtreas-
aries and banks throughout the coun-
try. The treasury does a great deal
of counting of money, and for the
purpose women are employed rather
than men, as 1t has been found after
long experience that the women make
fewer mistakes. Hence the operators
who sit at the electric machines and
pour the silver stream into the hop
pers are of the female sex.
But there is one place in the life of
the coin where it must be counted by
hand, and that is when it comes back
to the treasury for redemption.
The money then must be gone over
by hand to separate the foreign, mu-

Pronounced Egoism Made
Him Something Of Bore to
Royal Ladies'.

Tennyson's egoism showed itself In
his inordinate fondness for reading his
own poetry aloud to anyone and every
one who would listen to him. There
is a story of his having been invited
by the princess of Wales to be her
guest on the royal yacht. A sister of
the princess, the czarina of Russia,
was also one of the party. Tennyson
was much overcome by the high rank
of the two royal and imperial ladies
and could do nothing but f1dget about,
except when they asked him to read
aloud to them; whereupon he would
take out volume of his works and de-
claim by the hour, gesticulating and
now and then moving backward and
forward from sheer joy at the sound
of his own words. This was ell very
well for while; but after time the
czaFlna tried to get him away from
his poetry and into general conversx-
ton Then the laureate grew very

will be compelled to cut it to make
good o.. his contract.
To prevent this threatened spolia-
ton a Sill was introduced in the last
session Of our state legislature au.
thoriziLg the forest, fish and game
commits Sioner to purchase 100 acres
Immediately surrounding the Grant
cottage for the forest reserve. This
bill was passed, but failed to meet the
approval of Gov. Hughes. Its purpose.
as will readily be seen, was to pre-
vent the destruction of the scenic
beauty of the surroundings of the
Grant cottage.
More recently this impending spolia-
ton of tic forest surrounding the
Grant cottage was brought to the at
tention of the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation society, and q
movement was set on foot for the pur-
pose of raising, ~ voluntary subscrip-
lions, sum sufficient to meet the pur-
poses for whics the aforementioned
bill was introduced. Henry Clay
Weeks. member of this society, was
appointed chairman of a committee
to take this matter in hand, and he il
now engaged in bringing it before the
public. The scope Of his activities,
however, has been somewhat enlarged.
and it is now his intention, if possible.
to raise sufficient funds to purchase
Mr.. Johnson's entire holdings on the
mountain. The sum needed to do this
is $4,000. Should he succeed in max
ing this purchase it will be complete
and ample protection against any fu-
ture destruction of tho forest on
Mount McGregor.
The lawn surrounding the Grant
cottage is now covered with beauti-
full growth of pine and oak. The 100
acres of land which it was proposed
to take into the forest reserve are
thickly covered with oak, chestnut
and hemlock, intermingled with scat
tering trees of other varieties, and
make very beautiful spot. The view
grand in the extreme. To the east,
when the day is clear, one may see
the peaks of the Green mountains Of
Vermont, and to the south a long
stretch of the valley of the Hudson
spreads out in panoramic view as far
as the eye can reach.
To purchase the 100 acres will re-
quire the sum of but $4,750. About
four acres of land adjoining the Grant
cottage property on the north side and
for little distance on the west, on
which stands cottage and a barn,
can be purchased for $1,700 more,
making the sum necessary to acquire
perfect title to all of the surround
ings of the cottage only s6,450.
The high estimation in which this
memorial is held by the public at
large and the wide interest already
shown in the preservation of it's scenic
surroundings seem to point to the ulti-
mate success of the present patriotic
movement

pieces, a work that requires very
quick precision, and women have been
found to do it exceedingly well. Usu-
ally they can detect counterfeit coin
by its color as it lies among the 9TH
ers on the table, but ii not then, the
operator captures it when she losses
it from one hand to another, for there
is false ring in its chink as it leaps
into her palm "It is remarkable" said
treasury employe recently, how
many counterfeit copper cents come
in, especially when one calls to mind
how little profit there is in making
them. Of course, as they are of such
small denomination, they can be
passed without much chance of sus-
picion being aroused, as few people
trouble themselves to examine q
penny. 1t has been found that most
of the counterfeit pennies are made
by Italians in New York city, and they
put them into circulation to a great
extent through peddlers and small
store keepers.
There are, by the way, some inter.
esting facts connected with copper
cents. The Philadelphia mint during
the fiscal year coined more than 1,OO0,-
900 cents and more than 100000
nickels. Up to just recently all the
cents and nickels have been made in
Philadelphia, but according to a new
law, passed by congress not long ago,
these coins may be made at any Of
the minis, and as a result the mint
at San Francisco last autumn put out
100000 copper cents. Just very
few years ago pennies had no circu-
lation at all west of the Mississippi.
In fact California did not recognize
them as legal tender, said an official.
