It is not very difficult to hide money In

no human being has ever yet found a

"Why doa't these people loasa private

"r-cause their business is so scattered.
If they had private wires they would be
compelled te hire aa o;erator in every

telegraphing was done between two,
three cr ten cities it would be economy,
but is cheajxr to send the messages over
