last Friday and through the efforts

standing in City Hall square, and it
was discovered by two boys about
10 years of age who said when queS-
toned at the city marShal'S office
that they had merely intended to
take a ride but that after they had
enjoyed a spin on Charles machine
an argument developed as to which
one should take it back. The conSe-
quencies doomed so badly that they
decided not to take it back at all. A
conversation with some other boys
aobut the bicycle was overheard by

in no way resembles United States
coinage. Nevertheless in certain
sections of the West it was once
quite extensively used for sale and
barter, and is still i;I.litedly en-
ployed. In brief this money" is
what has always been known to
the Indians as wampum and for a
long time, after the arrival Of the
white man, it was very much more
valuable to the original inhabitants
of America than the white mans
coinage. In fact the Indians
loathness to dispense with his
wampum is the reason for the ex-
istence right down to Our time of
a demand for this primitive cur
rency.
Whites Manufacture Indian Money
The Indians, of course, were the
first wampum makers but when it
became medium of exchange for
the early colonists and traders the
white men took up its manufacture
and have continued to make it long
years after the Indians themselves
have stopped doing so.
mere are several reasons tor
this but the principal one is that
by the encroachment of the set
tiers upon their territory, the In
dams have been gradually driven
away from the sea to the interior
plains where the proper shells for
the manufacture of wampum are
not obtainable. The white man
living near the coast can, however,
still secure all the sea shells re-
quired. Thus the Indians have
come to depend entirely upon
them for their wampun.
A Family Affair
Most of this wampum making
came finally to be carried on by a
few old families of Southern New
Jersey, foremost amongst whom
foH many years were the Camp
bells. From the early part of the

The wampum makers purchase
CARLOAD of conch and clam shells
for Is cents, delivered at their
doors, and when shell OF sufficient
thickness is selected it is broken
with hammer and chisel into cubes
of about two inches in length and
one-thwd OF an inch square. The
piece Of she'll is then securely
wedged into wise made of two
pieces of wood. connected with
hinge in the center. The jaws Of
the wise are opened and the shells
inserted. Then the wise is closed
tightly and held by pressure
against the grindstone. In this
manner, in short time, the edges
of the she'll arc rounded, and then
the drill is brought into use,

dian usage.
The second and third generations
of wampum making Campbells
supplied much wampum to John
Jacob Astor, who used it in buy
ing furs from the Indians. 1t was
probably Mr.. Aston who opened up
the way for the Campbells' extern
sive wampun trade on the plains
and in the far west, which has last
ed to the present, although its
manufacture is now very rapidly
dying, as the Indians have become
more and more civilized ard &C
customed to the intrinsic value of
the white mans money. Yet some
wampum is still made on the New
Jersey Coast.
A Wampurn Workshop
The interior of a wanlpum work
shop is as different as it is possible
to be from a regulation mint. In
fact in its primative nature it more
nearly resembles limekiln. The
floors are hidden from sight by
great heaps of shells, and the rude
benches and tools are covered en-
tirely with white-fying dust as the
shells are being ground and drilled,
and suggests the application OF in
Vulnerable coats of whitewash,
which in fact it really is.

mercy being shown to animals is
