Something Else to Consider.

A young cotton worker and his
wife had been married only a few
months, but it was quite apparent
to the wife that her husbands af-
lection for her was on the wane.
John developed tendency to stay
out late at night, and now it was
early morning when his wife heard
a violent knocking at the door.
"Who's there ?" asked she from the
bedroom window.
s1t's me-" replied John meekly.
GIVE just come from the meeting.
We have been considering the pres
ent strike"
ooh, have you? Well, you can
sit on the doorstep and consider the
present lockout!'' was the retort.-

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor

eagerly sought for. There are many

not cure. Here is evidence to prove

the cure is lasting.

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
They Have Peculiar Qualities Which
Battle the Counterfeiter.

About the year 1919 great out
cry was raised against the Bank of
England for not adopting style of
note that could not be initiated and
at the same time preventing the
sacrifice of life which at that period
was common, the punishment for
forgery being death. The subject
at last became SO pressing that the
government appointed commission
ers to investigate the cause of the
numerous forgeries and whether a
mode could be devised whereby the
forging of banknotes might be pre-
vented.
Previous to this investigation the
directors of the bank had been en-
deavoring to remedy the evil, many
plans having been submitted to
them, all of which they we're
obliged to reject, says the Scientific
American.
The bank placed before the com
missioners $50 different projects
that had been recommended for
adoption and seventy varieties of
paper made by way Of experiment.
The result of all this labor was the
banknote of today.
The color of the paper is peculiar
and cannot be initiated exactly by
counterfeiters except at great ex-
pense. The combined thinness and
strength of the paper are also
unique. 1t is made in sheets large
enough for two notes. Each note
before it is sized weighs about
eighteen grains, and then if doubled
it is strong enough to suspend a
weight of thirty-six pounds.
The texture of the paper is also
peculiar. 1t has a crisp feel inva-
riably the same and such that bank
clerks of experience can readily de-
tect forgeries by this test alone.
Then the wire mark impressed in
the making by a frame, costly to
make and difficult to use, is prac-
tically inimitable.
Each note has thin, rough edges
uncut, not to be produced by any
mode of cutting paper that is not
devised expressly for the purpose
The paper for printing is dampened
with water in the exhausted re-
ceiver of an air pump. The ink used
in the plate printing is made Of
Frankfort black, which is composed
of the charcoals of the tendrils anc
husks Of the German grape GROUND
with linseed oil. This ink has {
peculiar and very deep shade O

tinted either with blue or brown.

Hotel Keeper and Robber,

A remarkable exhibition of pres
ence of mind stands to the credit of
James Dennis, an Australian hotel
keeper. One day he found himself
behind his own counter looking
down the muzzle of revolver held
by a villainous looking fellow who
was requesting him to put up his
hands. He raised them, but protest
ed. "Surely it doesn't take two OF
you to hold me up" The robber,
who had come alone, turned his
head to see who the other man
might be. In a flash Dennis own
revolver was out and the rascals
opportunity was gone.-Westmin-
ster Gazette.

w. c. T. U. NOTES.

Margaret Dye Ellis. w. C. T. U.
superintendent of legislative work
at Washington. writes thus on pro-
hibition through Indian treaties:
President Taft has been asked to
give earnest consideration to the In
dian treaties of Minnesota, of which
there are seven. Two Of these can
be abrogated, or modified, only by
Congress, two can be thus dealt with
by Congress or the President, and
three can be modified only by the
President.
Governor Eberhart of Minnesota
talked the matter over with the
President one day this week. Later
there was a conference in which
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
and the Minnesota delegation in
Congress participated.
1.-THE agitation in this matter is
the result of the efficient work of
Special Agent William E. Johnson
in his work of protection of the In
dians. The governor and members
of Congress are opposed to this or
der, and have appealed to President
Taft for final ruling.
"On Wednesday, December FL, a
hearing before the President in
charge of Ex-senator w. Blair was
granted the representatives Of the

Bureau, Mr.. S. E.. Nicholson of the
Anti Saloon League, and Mrs. E. S.
Shelton, president of the District of

Senator Blair urged that the
President should, so far as possible,
place the responsibility Of declining
this question upon Congress. as mat
tiers of this nature are not usually
settled by the chief executive, but
rather by the representatives of the
people.
Mrs. Shelton presented numer.

territory affected by the terms Of

that the President should in any case

It'll tell you. When a cowboy starts
