are lOosened and the unconscious
form is removed from the cross and
rapidly taken back to his home
where rude and generally rough
methods are used to restore the cir
culation of the blood if, indeed, the
victim is not already dead or beyond
help.
About the morada gather the rela-
tlves and friends of the crucifed
man. Anxiously they await the exit
of the priests and their assistants.
Sometimes, long hours after the cru
clfiXion, the onlookers realize that
there is no hope, that human flesh
and blood had been unable to stand
the strain imposed upon it. They dis
perse and still the priests have not
emerged.
Sometime in the darkness of night
the priests come out, however. They
bear heavy burden and with it they
disappear. In a lonely grave, un-
marked and its location known only
to them, they bury the body of the
victim. When day breaks again the
usual life of the morada is resumed.
No one asks any questions. There is
no need for them or for answers. The
PenitenteS understand.

drawn so tightly about the wrists and
ankles of the victim that the hempen
strands sink into the flesh, which
soon is pulled and discolored. The
pain is eXcruciating, but the victim
does not so much as groan as long as
human endurance can stand it. Ropes
are tied to the top of the cross and
slowly it is raised and dropped with
a thud into the excavation prepar-
ed for its foot. Then the ropes are
stretched out as guys and loose dirt
and stones tamped into the hole
around the cross.

PENNY, PENNY, who
HAS GOT The PENNY?
OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR
ONE CENT COINS, AND GREAT
SHORTAGE IN SUPPLY.

Penny, penny, who's got the
penny" is the question puzzling
treasury officials in face of a threat
ened penny famine.
Nobody knows the cause Of this
overwhelming demand for pennies,
but it is generally explained as re-
sulting from the consumption taxes
in the new revenue bill, which have
greatly increased the number of ar
ticles selling for odd cents.
Since their establishment the Unit
ed States minis have produced in
round figures three billion pennies,
or about thirty for every person in
the country. Where are they now?
1t is safe to assume half of them
have been lost, as one seldom sees
penny more than twenty years old.
This leaves an average of fifteen
pennies for every American, which
would be more than enough to do
business if at least half and probably
two-thirds of them were not in the
kiddies' banks
The mints are now working at top
speed to relieve the shortage. but
their output is only 100000 a day
At this rate it will be two months
before they have produced an extra
penny for every person in the coun-
try.

FOUR AND A HALF MILLION
HORSES ENGAGED IN THE WAR
Average of $4,000 of the Faithful
Steed Die Month at the Front.

Average of $4,000 of the Faithful
Steed Die Month at the Front.
There are 100000 horses engag-
ed In this war On the western front
the losses have averaged $4,000 hors-
es month. In eight hours fighting
along three-mile front at Verdun
the French lost SOIL horses.
More than 100000 of Americas
horses have been purchased for SER
vice with the allies. In the first sew
en- months of 1917 the value of
horses Shipped to Europe from Amer
lean ports was $25, 327,333 For the
month of July alone the value was
$l,377 POP. Wastage of horses means
an enormous money loss, which mere
money cannot now replace. Thirty
three thousand horses have died in
America while awaiting shipment and
5000 have died at sea in course of
transit.
America, with an army of 2,3OO.-
600 men, will require 100000 hors-
es to begin with, and shipload after
shlpload to keep the force UP to the
strength. The total need will exceed
a million year under fighting con-
dltlons, and may even be vastly
greater.

OF peanut prices.
They have advanced as high as
one hundred and thirty-fve dollars
per ton for running peanuts in car

one hundred and thirty dollars per

they have reason to believe that one

After inducing his victims to in
troduce him at banks where they had

worthless checks and disappeared.

Punshon later turned up in Mil
Waukee, where he worked a similar
game on several women. One of his
victims, Miss Kessell, met him on the
street a few days after she had dis
covered his duplicity and chased him
to the bridge.
Il wish they would send me over
the road for good this time" Pun
shon told detectives. I've tried to
reform, but no one will give me a
chance to make an honest living. Of
all the CRAFTS l ever worked the
check racket was the easiest. l had
cards printed with Noland's name
and the way the suckers fell for the
trick was a joke. Why, I had no
trouble at all in having the checks
cashed."
In the earlier stage of his criminal
career Punshon, after becoming ac-
quainted with women, through ad-
vertising for housekeepers, would
call at their homes and steal valua-
bles.

FORTY MILLIONS IN
RED CROSS WORK
REPORT TELLS WHERE MONEY
WAS SPENT BY THIS GREAT
MERCY ASSOCIATION.

Six months of effort to meet the
most far reaching appeals for relief
in history is described in a report to
the American people made public by

increase and on the recent basis of
expenses the council estimates that
the war fund will not last much be-
yond spring. So far about $88,000,-
600 in cash has been paid into the
fund by the subscribers.
Of $40,272,657 appropriated by
the council, $7,659,OOO has been ad-
vanced to chapters for the purchase
of material and will be refunded. For
work abroad $27,885,816 has been
appropriated, $2O,6O1,24O of the
amount going to France, where suf-
fering has been beyond description. 4"
For work outside France, exclusive
of $750,000 recently sent for emer-
