SAFEGUARDING THE TREASURY.

Wonder frequently has been en-,
pressed by those visiting the treasury
building. where millions OF dollars IN
gold and silver coins. besides paper
money and other evidences Of value,
are stored. that the strong box OF
Uncle Sam has never been robbed.
The answer Is that the treasury Is
guarded night and day by both men
and the most modern mechanism.
Every vault Is connected with an cleo
trio alarm. so sensitive that the slight.
est touch OF the hand will sound a
warning at the once OF the guards
and In the police stations OF the city
OF Washington. A signal. long contin-
ued, would suffice 10 bring out the
troops at Fort Myer. three miles away.
Besides these mechanical safeguards
there is large force OF men engaged
In watching the treasury. The secre-
tary himself could not get into his
own room after ONCE hours unless by
the authority Of the captain Of the
watch. 10 whom all the ordinary keys
OF the building are turned over at the
close OF the business day. The vaults
are protected BY the most ingenious
Of time locks.

before Offering his gift at the altar;
but many men find Il difneult and
some even impossible to carry out this
clear injunction Of the Master.
Evidently John ID. Rockefeller was
one OF those who found the task OF re-
coneiliation a hard one. For years
he and his brother, Frank Rockefeller,
did not speak. and an enmity, deep
and bitter. was entertained by the lat
ter against the oil king. Frank claims
that John ID. wronged him and he
had registered vow not to speak to
him until that wrong was rectined.
Just what the specific injury was is
not publicly known. but Il kept the
brothers apart until recently. when
Frank and John d. met buried the
hatehet. and exchanged the brotherly
kiss. Just as II is not known what
Franks specific grievance was, SO II
is not known what were the terms OF
reconciliation. But they must have
been satisfactory to Frank; and now
John DIS Sunday school In Cleveland
may expect TO hear discourse In due
time upon the beauty of brotherly

Frank Rockefeller is little known
to the public. and is OF such paltry
concern to the biographer that his
name Is not even mentioned in Who's
Who. He was at one time interested
In ore mines In the Lake Superior re-
gion and was associated with James
Corrigan. q former business ally OF
