HAUNTED.
Have you a garden where you walk
and see
The golden flowers of spring
Crown the new greenery
With newer poisoning?
A garden all green growth and witch
cry.
And does the purple evening come for
you
Slow star by slow white star,
Trailing it's robe of dew
With not a sound to mar
The peace, save bird calls falling faint
and few?
All, well, have no garden for my feet
To tread The walls of stone
Press on the bitter street
Where I drift by, alone.
Dreading the VOLTS glare in the eyes
/ meet
And yet. have you not sometimes
turned your head,
Just bending to a rose,
Thinking you heard the tread
And stir of one who goes
Down old remembered paths-but now
is dead?

The United tates treasury has been
enriched to the extent of $4,000 by
| the voluntary contribution of an IN
known individual whose conscience
would not allow him longer to retain
money he had t.lched from the govern
lment Others have been moved bV
the still small voice to do nkeWlsA.
and the total amount SO far returnea
to the Golfers of Uncle Sam is some
thing like half million. The man
who sent the latest bundle of bills %
the secretary of the treasury wrote
note in which he stated that he hao
already paid double the amount ne
stole and still his conscience was not
satisfied rare and most troublesome
conscience, says the Salt Lake Trlb-
une.
There are those who will say that
peace will not come to this mans
troubled mind until he Stands up IL
meeting" and confesses his fault. but
that is an uncharitable view. His con-
science ought to be satisfied and IN.
ward peace assured by a three-foi1
restitution of the amount he hlched.
Very few people would be awake o
nights after having paid once. others
with still more elastic consciences
repent of what they have done, bu-
fail to make any restitution whatever.
So it will be seen that the most recent
contributor to the fund has been sore
ly smitten and that he possesses a
most vulnerable conscience, an lncon-
venient conscience for one who mas
transgressed the law, but against
whom no suspicion rests.
There be those who frequently eX-
claim that their conscience will not
allow them to do this, that or the
other thing, and they are not always
honest. Henry VIII, after he had gaz-
ed upon the charms of Anne Boleyn,
professed to have been pricked by MS
cons ience on account OF having ma :
ried his deceased brothers wife, but
one of the courtiers shrewdly observ-
ed that the conscience of the KING
had crept too near the other laoT-
Anyway, he put the queen aside, mar
ried the gentle Anne, beheaded hef
and continued to take wives one at
time until he had six Of them to ms
creditor discredit, shall we say! Il
is nowhere stated that his conscience
ever troubled him after he got rid OF
Catherine OF Arragon.
On the other hand, men in nearly
all ages of the world of which we have
any record have gone down to deasa
for conscience sake. Countless others
have been reviled in high place for
doing what they conceived to be
right, and have endured lifelong SUI
fering from the poisoned arrows OF
malice, envy and hypocricy. 1t is con-
science that holds society together a
spite of all our lapses and makes life
worth living and wealth worth possess
ing. But it must be good con-
science, not one that needs searlnS
with hot iron.
As to the man whose conscience still
troubles him after making restitution,
we believe he could find peace and
happiness by alternating the sufferinss
of the poor and afflicted instead or
sending any more money to Uncle
sam. He would certainly be doing
more good and be entitled to more con-
sideration. Still, he must follow the
dictates of his own conscience.

with the proposition offered by the
firm said that it was a winner and

people saw it and none knew of the

Emergency Money
is Fast Being Put
Out of Circulation

What little OF the emergency currency
under the Vreeland-Aldrich law actually
put into use in Omaha during the fall
when the war scare was causing some
financial fluctuation Is now being rap
idly retired by the banks of Omaha that
used It. Only part of this emergency
currency available 20 tho banks Of
Omaha was actually called for and used.
The local bankers kept their heads well
and realized that n there was one
place In the country where bankers could
get along without calling emergency
measures II was in omaha this year

and the great crop conditions of the
state and this section OF the country
Even the crop-moving fund allotted to
Omaha by the federal treasury as an

crops was not all called for by the
local banks.

flow OF American gold 10 Europe. There
was even talk OF panic at the time. Some

house certificates which they passed for
currency. i'm their mad effort to prevent
their currency from flowing out OF their
grasp. The Omaha Clearing House as
ISOLATION held meeting after meeting for
some ten days. and there was talk OF
doing as the eastern banks had done.
Wiser counsel prevailed. and Il was
shown clearly by some OF the leading
financlers OF the city that the Omaha
banks had plenty OF money and that
there really was no need OF fear. Thus
Omaha stood out almost alone among
the cities OF its size In not issuing GER
