Sight of $7,OOO,OOO ON a Joy Ride

plishing anything of the sort, eight
heavily armed guards ride to and fro
with the seven millions.
And this extra precaution is due to
the change in the system of making
money. Until recently the money was
printed at the bureau Of engraving
and printing, but sent to the treasury
minus the seal and the number, so that
it was not real money until handled
in the treasury.
Now one machine does all the work,
including the stamping of the seal and
number These figures-the round
seal to the right and the number to
the left of the face of paper bill
stamped in blue-are what make bills
legal tender. Hence when the money
passes through the wonderful cutting
and stamping machine, which counts
bills out in lots of 100 after it is
through with them, it is ready to
spend and anyone who got hold of 1t
would have the real thing.
''It seems queer to some people that
we should take such precautions to
guard the money wagon" says Direc.
tor Ralph of the bureau Of engraving
and printing, but we think it neces.
sary. A stitch in time saves nine, as
we have been told from childhood"

tion of the four Spanish War vessels
is the passing Of the old sloop-ofwar
Portsmouth, forming the last chap
ter in the history of what is believed
to be one of the most interesting
ships in the old navy.
Launched before the beginning Of

an active part in that struggle, par.

African slave trade, fought in Chi.

the operations in the Gulf Of Mexico
during the Civil war.
The Portsmouth was built in 1S43,
and after a voyage Of one year and a

declared soon afterward, and her men
took possession of San Francisco, and
hoisted the stars and stripes there for

Uncle Sans Bug Sleuths After Cats

OF fact they do almost no good and a
great deal of harm. The difficulty in
following the question of the extent
to which they carry disease ia meas

world that many a child who, for no
apparent reason and from no discern
ibe cause, develops a case of diph'
iberia or scarlet fever owes its Illness
and often its death to the cat 1t has
been fondllng, Moreover, cats are as
susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs,
The highly pampered pet cat Of
the luxurious household never falls
to get out and roam around with the
ordinary alley cat. In many instances
the alley cat, which prowls all night
long with the pet cat, has spent the

an alley where smallpox, diphtheria
or tuberculosis is hid

tention paid to rats and the harm
they do, both as destroyers and as
spreaders Of disease. In this connec'
ton the cat has been pointed out as
a valuable aid In keeping down the

servation that only about per cent.

AS a matter of fact cats prefer
birds to mice. They will spend twice
as much time hunting birds. If one
keeps count of cats quarry during

harm would be done if the whole cat
tribe were exterminated but there
would be too much opposition to that

more careful about allowing their

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise

Children's taste is ofttimes more 40

food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate

boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
q. weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape

1t seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.

years he did duty on the plains

year since his graduation and when
ever his duties permitted General
Bates went back to the academy He
loved the old place. and on his last
visit he made a request that when taps
sounded for him he might be buried
in the cadet cemetery which lies al.
most under the shadow of the academ-
ic halls Within a few months of the
time that his request was made taps
sounded. and General Bates is at rest
in the little cemetery on the Hudson
plateau.
Brig. Gen. Hamilton S. Hawkins,
who died within the year, saw service
in the Civil war as a subordinate Off
Ger. In the Spanish war he distin'
guished himself. General Hawkins en-
tered West Point in 1852, but he failed
ito graduate. The academy had such
a hold on his affections, however, that
he asked before his death that he
might be buried at the place which
his boyhood experiences had endeared
to him. General Hawkins was a
southerner by birth, and with many
other southern officers who had re-
ceived their military education and
their lessons in loyalty at West Point,
he remained true to the union.
OF all the regular army officers OF
southern birth, who either rose from
the ranks or were appointed from civil
life to commissions, not one remained
true to the flag at the outbreak OF
the Civil war. OF the southern grad
yates at the military academy nearly
one-third remained true to their oaths
of allegiance and to the spirit of love
for a united country which the acad'
emy had inculcated.
