Wien Leather Wac Mensy.

Wien Leather Was Meney.
 Leather was very early used as . currency, the Romans employing 1t for this purpose before either gold, silver or brass came into common use. His tory is full of references showing that leather was used by the ancients as g sort of circulating medium of ex- change. It is said on good authority that % late as during the reign of Louis XII. of France the country be- came so impoverished and as q con- sequence money was % scarce that little pieces of leather with a small silver nail driven through each were in general use as money. Some few specimens of this leather money are still in existence, but are only to be found in the possession of numisma- lists, by whom they are highly prized.

 There was an old negro in a small Tennessee town who had been steal ing a great deal. He would go all over the town taking anything he could get in the form of clothing or food One day he became very i'll. He grew worse, and 1t seemed that he was going to die. As death approached he began to re pent of his robberies. He called his son to him and told him to return all the clothing he had stolen. After this he became easier and went to sleep. In several hours he awoke.
 ''Mirandy," he said, "am Sam took back dem clothes .yet?"

UNNATURAL CRIME CHARGED.

Captured after an exciting chase,
during which the hunted man ran
through a furniture store in North

CLAIM NAVAL STATION is NECES-
sARY TO DEFENSE OF MOUTH
OF MISSISSIPPI.

1t is probable Representative Estop-
inal, Peter S. Lawton and others inter-
ested in the New Orleans naval base,
will make a final suggestion to Secre-
tary Meyer that a proper guarding of
the mouth of the Mississippi requires
the retention of the Naval Station at
Algiers. Mr.. Lawton had a talk
with Gen. Wood, chief of staff, and
pointed out to him the character of
the defense that must be made of the
jetties. The General knew Mr. Law
ton in Santiago.
Gen. Wood never thought of defend
ing the jetties by floating batteries as
the only possible way of putting the
whole Mississippi valley on a footing
of equality with the other ports of
the country. He has never been to
the jetties. He asked for all the data
the Naval Base ommittee has gathered
and said he would lay the matter be-
fore the joint army and navy board,
with a suggestion that 1t will not do
to foreclose the matter in the way
that has been suggested-that of de-
pending on the fleet to keep an enemy
from getting to the mouth of the
river.
The call on Meyer will be made as
a matter of formality, because there is
no desire on the part of the New Or
leans people to go ahead with a sug-
gestion that the defense of the valley
be taken from the navy without at
least courteous notice to the head
of the department that New Orleans
intends, if possible, to interest the
army people in proposition to defend
the harbor by means OF craft stationed
permanently at New Orleans, under
the command of the army, if the naval
establishment is averse to taking re-
sponsibility for conducting a defense
of that kind, because the ships en-
Jagged would not be a part of the fleet.

yelled out 10 those on the deck that he
was all right, and soon scrambled up
the ladder, putting on a cigarette that
he had in his mouth when he tumbled
in. He escaped with sprained hand,
and on leaving for home told the boss
he would be on deck to-day to take up
his regular work. Allen lives in AL.
