KEEPING UNCLE SAM BUSY.

Truly, these Ire strenuous days Tor marine has not sunk 'merchantnan with the loss of several American lives, British battleship holds up shipment of innocent cargo to some neutral port, pr, some foreign dip lomat busily enga ges htrnself in fo- menting labor troubles within the borders of the United States; in lieu of any of these, e few Mexican ban dits gather on the southern shore of the Rio Grande and, for want of something better, shoot over the American line. To alleviate the sit uation somewhat and attract the at- tention of the old gentleman in different direction, a bevy of Haytier bandits go out on the warpath in their own home town, Port au Prince, and Uncle Sam has to go down there and stop the riot While the War Department is training business men for the duties of soldiers an eX-Presl- dent tackles the Secretary of War and gets him into a political argu- ment.

Tears for the Traffic Squad.

By way of a diversion from more distressing topics, let's consider the traffic poiceman's winter overcoat.
 Waterbury's bill of dress for the police department provides for an official winter overcoat which may be described as a uniform frock coat. II is tightly buttoned and fits the manly forms of our protectors of the reace to perfection. Put one upon a husky officer and send him out to patrol the streets in winter at his normal cruising speed of two and one half miles an hour, and 1t will keep him warm.
 But suppose he is traffic officer, and instead of patrolling his beat has ,o stand H. one spot on windy street corner several hours without relief. Will tie same overcoat keep him warm? It will not He needs some thirg warmer, looser and heavier.

"BillenlEiques."
(BostOn Herald.)

Mexico has ben extensively engaged in the delectable pastime of making money. About two billions of dollars of engraved certificates have been issued since the revolution began. These notes are given the curious name "Billembiques," which is but a Mexican effort to compass the pro- nunciatton of the American name "William Weeks" once a paymaster he used to give orders to the peons for small sums to carry them along until next they aligned themselces be- fore the cashiers window. The local merchants would accept the notes with the signature of the accommo- dating paymaster as good currency, and they were EickTamed "Billemhi- ques.'' By simple transition the terms came to be applied to the rev. olutionary paper money.
 First, it is said, Carranza manufact- ured paper to the nominal value of 6,G00,0O0 pesos. ard those bills were accepted for time at about three quarters the common value of a sil- yer peso. Then Villa thoughtfully provided himself with a small hand press and a tramp printer and also went into the paper money industry. When his stock of materials gave out he struck off a quarter of a million notes on scapps ofbwrapping paper. The prints1, saw ,.ah opportnnity to favor his, own rers onal peckets and struck off thousands of notes on; his own account. then loaned the. appara- tus to various friends, who followed his example.

Moreover, one rebel captain aftr' another has hit upon the idea of financing his campaign by the printing press and the die, the net result of which is that at the present time it is said that square meal costs $f00 in many parts of Mexico. And this means that the new secre- tary of the treasury, when Mexico at last shall resume constitutional gov ernment, will have his troubles.

The most that can be said In nvOr
OF the present announcements being

the shipping possibilities from Aus
