Souvenir Hunters Steal the Silver

the souvenir collection of many Amer.
lean homes there soon may be hidden
a piece Of silverware or china, worth
but little intrinsically, but highly
priced because it came from the CAPT.
tol Of the United States. Therefore
the walters will have to be on the
alert. Not that those who may dine
in the senate restaurant are really bad
folks, but simply because it's human
to gather mementos and especially me.
mentos that belong to Uncle Sam.
Every taxpayer feels that he's paid for
the little old thing a thousand times
over, anyway.
In addition to the supply of new
silver the senate restaurant also
boasts of the installation of a telauto-
graph, an instrument that writes at
long distance. No longer will it be
necessary for the waiter to yell Draw
one" down an imitation silver tube.
The order will be written in the res
taurant room above and at the same
time 1t will be reproduced by the TEL
autograph down where the chef holds
sway.
The telautograph, however, is fast
ened down. It's not in the danger that
besets the new silverware today.

believe l have that much in my peck.

check for the balance"
will the kind brother please come
forward asked the pastor, while the
congregation struggled to get
glimpse of the man with the money
Innate modesty kept Blanchard
from going forward until three pillars
Of the church came to his seat and
escorted him to the pulpit. There
he made an eloquent speech on the
happiness it gave him to be able to
send missionary among the heath:
er, not negleeting to tell his audience
how easy it was for him to do this
because providence had been kind
enough to put him in possession of
a copper mine in Arizona rich
enough to send missionaries to the
furthermost ends of the earth and
keep them there till all the heather
had seen the light.
1t was a notable effort, delivered
with convincing simplicity and before
tn congregation was through with
Blanchard he had sold $4,000 of stock.
The expense to Blanchard Of seeA,.e
the missionary was $1,000. so that the
days work showed a good balance in
his favor. This was the beginning Of
the Blanchard mining boom.

Merchants in all parts of the coun-

Whatever other customs may

reindeer-drawn sleigh, automobile or

but the Christmas tree on which his
packages are hung continues to in

This year, indeed, New York has
set new record in this respect, since
over 100000 Christmas trees we're
imported to meet local demands. Fig

family, this means that at least half
the homes in the city had a tree this
winter.
