HERE'S A DETECTIVE YARN.
/ Tells the Governments Secret OF

Two weeks ago one of the local
banks caught during the day a coun-
terfeit $40 bill 1t was such a clever
counterfeit it would pass anybQoy but

more of the bad Bills were found IN

came from ST. Joseph, Omaha. and st.

for them.
Then thu, governments machinery to-
protect its currency began to work. But
there was nothing mysterious about It's
working In the office of the secret
service here, Mr.. Tate sat all afternoon
smoking and looking at specimens, OF
counterfeit currency. Huge CLOUDS or
smoke rose from his pipe. That Kept
up all day. The reader of detective
tales who believes the secret service
works in a mysterious way would have
been distinctly disappointed. But at
last the pipe dropped from the lips OF
the man sitting at the desk in the fed
eral building with whole pile OF
greenback in front Of him. Fe took up
two bills and compared them carefully.
Then he studied them again, noting
every little curve and characteristic
mark. He stepped to the telephone

at morning from Jesse Purdy's store

crossing waterways In fashion that

Greatest Crop Year.

The government estimates
that the value of five crops this
year--co corn wheat, oats, rye and
DHckwheat twill total 2 billion,
seven hundred and seventy
seven million dollars, which ex-
ceeds the value of the same pro-
ducts last year by two hundred
and fifteen million dollars.
The hay crop, according to
the governments final figures,
is larger by 6.500,000 tons than
the November estimate made it
appear, but it is about 5000, 600
less than the record crop of last
year-72. 691, 900 tons.
Business through a part of the
year has been brisk, and had it
not been for a number of dis
quieting events on both hemis-
pheres there would have been
exceptional activity in all
branches of industrial and
mercantile enterprise.

Though at the time misunder-

The Decem Der number of the
Southern Good Roads" maya
zine published in Lexington, N.
c.. contains a several page
article on road building, written
by w |. Lee, highway engineer
of Tazewell county, formerly Of
Staunton and Augusta. The
article is illustrated with six or
eight cuts, showing progress of
road building in Tazewell county,
under Mr.. Lees direction, and
also with a cut of the author
himself. Most of the cuts are
pictures of bridges which Mr..
Lee has CONSTRUCTED on original
lines. The article holds first
place in the journal and is given
over to a technical and practical
discussion of highway contribu-
ton as carried on by Mr.. Lee
and his forces. Two interesting
charts are also given, one an
Organization" chart for "force
account" work and the other a
table showing the estimated cost
of construction, etc.
A great deal of Mr.. Lees work
in Tazewell is done on entirely
original lines, and its success is
due &c &c . .he s genus Of Mr.. Lee

are unique, and have occasioned

The Chris { Of Christmas.

Christmas is not merely the
holiday, the pagan feast drest in
Christian robes, with the green's
of the old chaplet only torn in
two and the pieces crost together.
1t is this; but it is. or should be,
this and more. 1t should be the
day for Joy, but for Christian
joy; for family delight. but for
this because our Lord has sane
titled the family and made the
household, yea the whole house,
hold of man, sacred thing.
Hset not the feast obscure the
festival. Let not the mirth abash
the glory. Let not holiday sup
pant the holy day.
For It is the Lord Jesus Christ
whose name the day bears,
Christ who was incarnate for
us, who died for us, whose
mission is the hope of the world,
whose teaching is the foundation
of all that is sound and hopeful
in our civilization.
That Christmas Day is ill OBJ
served which does not contain
the recognition of the Lordship
of Christ. We do not say special
public service, in the house of
worship, tho that is well; but
at least by reading the story in
the Holy Gospels of the Savior's
birth, singing with the under
standing some song of praise to
Him who appeared while
shepherds watched their flocks
by night, "and some meditation,
and some prayer to the Redeem
er of men, and some strengthen
ed resolve to live a life on earth
which shall be like the life of
Him who was born in Bethlehem,
So, with the gifts we give, let
us not forget the Gift we have
received. All things has He
given us-the world, life, death,
things present, things to come
all are ours. but chiefly Him.
self; and thanks unto God for
his unspeakable Gift" Shall
not the wonder. the aflluence,
the freeness of the Gift stir up
gratitude. love IN our hearts.
There is no name like Jesus, no
love like Christs. There is no
beauty, no grace, no pardon
like His. When the son of Amor
looked on the ineifable glory
and listened to the ceaseless
Ter Sanctus, and was aflrighted
because he was man of UNI
clean lips, and heard the UNI
hoped assurance of full pardon
uttered from the throne beneath
the Seraphim, then he longed
to do errands of grateful service,
and he cried, Lord, here am !

love Him better and serve Him

Editor the News: Your article
i'm last weeks News entitled
shall the farmer lose his boy,
was read with much interest.
lThe sentiment was good and
generally speaking l believe the
country boy makes a mistake
when he goes tpthe town think
ing it is all sunshine and
pleasure in the city. On the
farm the boy may quit most any
time he chooses, and take in the
fair or picnic or a show or any
thing that comes up. While the
boy who is in the town cannot
afford many such luxuries.
When you go to town and get
Job you are wanted all day every
day. and often a part of the
Iii ght. know by experience and
even if you do get off you are
not making anything and board,
room rent and washing must be
paid for, work or no work. Yes,
the town affords many pleasures
not found in the country, but you
will not be in the town long be-
fore you will find many there
who would gladly go to the
countryif they could get there.
l know country life is some-
times a little dull and believe
in MANY cases if the father
would try to make it a little
more pleasant for his boy at
home, he would not be so likely
to want to go to the town.
1t is also true that some town
folks are so ignorant that
think they any one living in
the country is a back number
and an old fogys, some of them
even make sport of a country
boy. On some cases this causes
the country boy to wish to live
in town where people know so
much.
But some times the boy is not
to blame for going 10 town, be-
cause HIS ldIlier may Own d
small farm and have several
children 10 divide it among,
and he may not have the money
to buy land or even if he has the
money he may not be able to
find land for sale at reason
able price. We have what is
known as money sharks in the
cities and we have land grabbers
in the country who are alw avs
on the lookout for land for sale,
and when they once get an acre
you couldn't buy it for love or
mony.
These men often own from one
to five thousand acres of land
and you could hardly buy enough
to bury your mother on. SO often
the country boy is forced to go
to the towns to make a living,
but it is much the best to stay
in the county when it is possible
to do so.-X.
