"For heaven's sake, George, what's
the matter?"
"I've lost twenty 100 bills."
"Where?"
"Where? What nonsense! If I know
where wouldn't I go and find thein?
I've been robbed."

"One of the customers of the house
camo Into the olllco last evening when
I was nlonc and Insisted on paying me
52,000. I told him that I would not
receive It, as the safe was locked and
I didn't know the combination. Then
lie said he had to take a nighl train
for New York nnd I must receive It.
us ho wouldn't carry It with lilm.
Fearing he would report mo to tho
firm nnd they would blame me, I con
sented and gave him a receipt. After
ho had gone I put the bills In my In
side pocket and started for home, t
nan remember leaving the otllcc and
walking a short distance. Then mv
memory stops. At tho end of a blank
T was lying on tho sidewalk with a
crowd around me. Tho first thing 1
did was to put my hand in my pocket
o feel for the bills. They were gone."
"Gone? Oh, George!"
"A couple of policemen took me
home, nnd mother persuaded-me to go
to bed."
"But what was the matter with
you?"
"Why, tho policemen sny that 1 wan
undoubtedly followed by some person
or persons who sandbagged me and
took tho money. Any one could see
Into the office, for the gas was on and
the curtains not drawn. They may
have seen me counting' the bills nnd
making a memorandum of their num
bers after the customer had gone."
"You have the memorandum?"
"That's what troubles me. If I hud
that the bills could bo recovered. I
nn't remember what I did with It."
"Don't distress yourself, George,
dear. Since you remember making It,
wo must find It. First the offlce must
be ransacked."
"The offlce has been ransacked and
nothing found. I don't believe I left
it there."
"Xor I. It would bo more natural
for you to take It with you. I hope
you didn't put It In with the notes."
"I don't know whether I did or not
My head aches yet, and I can't re
member much of anything."
"Do they blame you at tho offlce?"
"Oh, yes. They say that I had no
business to receive the money under
Hie circumstances."
"And do they intlmnte have they
shown any disposition to suspect
jou"
"They don't say so, but they look it."
"George, that memorandum must be
found. You may have put It In some
safe place In tho office so unusual that
It will be very hard to find It You
must nttend to that. I can't help you.
If you put It In any of your pockets I
will find it, for I will go home with
.you nnd turn them all inside out
"Cheer up. Come; lot us go to your
home, nnd I will make a search."
"First give me your coat."
"Ilere it is."
"Now your vest nnd trousers."
"Hero they are."
"Your hat. You may have put the
-money In the lining. No; it Is not in
.any of your pockets nor your lint. Did
you have on gloves?"
"No."
"You wouldn't have put it in your
shoes. I've examined all your outer
clothing. I don't suppose you have
any pockets in your underclothing?"
"Not except in my nightshirt, in
which I have a pocket for my handker
hlef, but," contemptuously, "I didn't
have on my nightshirt on the street."
"Certainly not. Have you got on the

to put on this morning."
"What did she do with the soiled

"Oh, my dear, you are wearing me

"If you will get me tho soiled shirt.
I'll not trouble you nny more."
"Hero it is in tho closet. But 1 must
say that it seems very ridiculous to
overhaul a shirt to find a memoran

being married about the singular ways
women have of getting at things, and
it may be that, after all," very con

ROAD BUILDING PKCSl'KRors.
Tin he equally In Times of Finan
cial Depression.
Thrt work of road building Is pe
cullar tmong the Industries of men
from the fact that It seems to thrive
equally In prosperous times and in
perlodb of financial depression Tho
season of 1307, when the ti.1e of na
tional prosperity was at Its Mood
point, broke all previous records lor
the amount of money expended and
the mount of work accomplished In
highway Improvement. The season
of 1901, with that tide somewhat
checked, though It is fcolleved. not
ebbing, is already giving promise of
greater deeds tnan Its predecessor.
In what are termed good times the
people demand road Improvements
for their comfort and plea. ure. and
each new carriage or new automobile
makes a new recruit to tho army of
good road advocates.
In less prosperous times, and when
o.her industries aro closing their 11
fices and plants and many men are
being thrown out of employment,
thereby causing a glut In the" labor
market the appropriations of States
and municipalities are continuous
and the public work goes on. Mine
than this It goes on at an accelerated
p.ice. for when labor Is cheap it is
possible to make each dollar do more
work and, hence more square yards
of pavement and more miles of ma
cadam are laid.
At the present time, judging from
press reports from all parti, of the
country, there Is more street and
highway work projected for the com
ing season than ever before.
Some local newspapers are assert
ing that these enlarged undertakings
are for tho special benefit of the un
emp.oyed, which statement should
not be permitted to go unchallenged.
It Is wise business foresight for ci.y
or county officials to secure labor
which Is the largest item -jf expon9
for public worlis when it it to be had
cheapest. It is not the part of wis
dom, uowever, to make places lor
untrained and unskilled help on
works that are to be permanent as
far as possible. Neither dees it mit
igate the charity when an incompe
tent laborer Is fed at the public crib
Instead of at tho public soup house.
Road building, to be permanent
and satisfactory, requires brains and
experience in ail the workers, from
the superintendent to the man with
the tamping bar. If the help an
be employed S' as to alleviate ne
cessity without Interfering with the
quality of the work, so 'much the bet
ter, but the quality of the work Is
the main consideration to which all
other things, even the charity of tem
porary relief, should ba subordinated.
Tho increased construction of public
works during a period 01 financial
stress is merely a business question
of buying labor when It it, cheapest
Ohio Road Improvement.
Tho mtomoblle Club of Toledo
was organized recently by men prom
inent in the local business world,
and a charter secured. Tho club be
gins with a membership of 100,
which it is expected will be increased
speedily to 300 or GOO. Its princi
pal object will be to co-operate with
similar clubs in other places in urg
ing legislation favorable to good
roads. In speaking on this question,
B, D. Libby, president of tho club,
said. "We call it tho Automobile Club
of Toledo, and that namo might
easily mislead, because the club Is not
entirely devoted to furthering the
ends of motoring enthusiasts, but
we had to use the term automobile
In order to affiliate with the most
powerful organizations in tho coun
try, which are working in the inter
ests of good roads In America, and
which are almost entirely tho out
growth of interest, in the sport of
motoring.
"Toledo, until the oiganlzation of
this club, was the only town of con
sequence in the country that did not
have some sort of good roads organ
ization. The business men of tho
town, drivers of automobiles and
others, have shown great interest so
far, and we feel sure that this club
will 'lecome a strong Influence for
better highways in this section of the
State, and as ducn an influence, the
club deserves tho active support of
everyone Interested in Eeelng the
roads of northwestern Ohio become a
credit instead of a disgrace to this
part of tho State."
Good Roads Bill In Congress.
It is estimated that more bills for
the improvement of the public high
ways of the country were introduco'd
In Congress at its opening session than
ever before at one session. Among
tho bills was one b Senator Latimer
of South Carolina. Representative
Flood, of Virginia, also Introduced
one, which in many respects appears
to be unique in regard to originality,
It provides that the Secretary of
the Treasury at the end of each fis
cal year, take ar account of all tho
funds in the United States Treasury,
and after deducting from that sum
the amount required by law to be
kept In the Treasury to Immediately
provide for the distribution of this
surplus, not exceeding $25,000,000
annually during the continuance of
the law, on a per capita basis, to the
States and Territories.

LincolrVs Tribute to Washington.
Lincoln sail of Washington: "Wash
ington Is the mightiest name on earth
long since mightiest in the cnuse of
civil liberty, still mightiest in moral
reformation. On thnt name a eulogy
Is expected. It ennnot be. To add
brightness to the sun or glory to the
mime of Washington is alike impossi
ble. Let none attempt It. In solemn
awe pronounce tho name, and In nnk
cd, deathless splendor leave It shining
on."
Lincoln's First Political Speech.
"Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens I pre
sume you all know who I am. I am
bumble Abraham Lincoln. I have
been solicited by my friends to be
come n candidate for the legislature.
My politics nre short and sweet, like
an 'old woman's dance.' I am In favor
of a natlonnl bank. 1 am In favor of
the international improvement system
and n high protective tariff. These nre
my sentiments nnd political principles.
If elected I will bo thankful, if de
feated it will bo all the same."
Homemade Valentine.
The 14th of February has come
around ngnln, and, of course, every
body Is beginning to think of vnlen
tlnes. Perhaps you may be glad to
have a few Ideas for "homemade" val
entines, which nre nlwjivs nrntHnr nnd
! more interesting than those you buy.
Take an envelope of nny shape de
sired and open It out flat by slipping
a knife underneath the flap and so
loosening tho mucilage. On tho inside
print the following verso:
To you I send, dear Valentine,
This faithful little heart of mine.
Its every beat Is full of love
For you, my own dear turtledove
The word heart may bo pictured in
stead of printed or cut out nnd pasted
to the envelope. Tho samo way with
the turtledove, the turtle being green
nnd the dove a soft gray.
Fasten the envelope again and on
the outside write:
If you but break, dear Valentine,
This binding seal of wax and twine
And look beneath you'll surely see
The greatness of my love for thee.
Tie it with a pierc of red twine or
ribbon, then seal It with red wax or
any other color you happen to have,
and the valentine Is complete.
Tha Lien's Mistake.
A British officer was shooting in
Somallland. One night as he lay on his
bed within his tent a Hon made n sud
den spring over the rough fenc which
had been put up around the encamp
ment The Hon took no notice of the nui
mals, but went straight to tho sports
man's tent and seized the sleepqr for
tunately by the hand only.
It must have been a terrible awaken
ing for the officer. But somehow ns tho
lion changed Its grip for the man's
shoulder it got hold of the pillow in
stead nnd then decamped with its
prize. Next morning the pillow was
found In the jungle nt n distance of
several hundred ynrds from the en
campment. What a disappointment it must have
been to the hungry Hon when he dis
covered his mistake!
Old Rhymes. -
The common little rhyme beginning
"Thirty days has September," if not
as old as the hills at least is as old as
1590, for In that year it was printed
in London in an old arithmetic. This
is how it reads in its original form:
"Thlrtie dales hath September.
April), June and Novomember; Feb
ruarle eight an twenty alone; nil tho
rest thirtlo and one."
The rhyme beginning "Multiplica
tion is vesatlon" Is likewise not nn
outburst of modern scholars, for it Is
found in a manuscript of even older
date, 1570:
Multiplication Is mlo vexation,
And Division quite as bad.
The Golden rule Is mle stumbling stule.
And Practice makes mle mad.
Omitted Words.
Can you supply the seven words
omitted? They must all bo formed of
the same six letters:
A sat in his gray.
Watching the moonbeams play,
On a keg that In tho bushes lay.
And tho leaves with their took up the
song,
Thou the brave. Thou the strong.
To thee doth of great battles belong,
John Barleycorn, my king.

vertical wall, turning In tho air, alight

There are various preparations soV
by manicures to remove stains under
the finger uails. With careful laws
most of these can bo relied upon, but
If there is any doubt about a special
preparation substitute lemon juice.
As a stain remover it is excellent
and the woman who keeps half 11
"eniou on the stationary wushstaml
where sihe washes her hamU rarel;.
will havo to blush for the unslglitlluuto
of her nails.
Oxalic acid Is also good, but is tu
Jurlous to some skins. It should be up
plied with a bit of cotton on tho end of
an orangewood stick. In using the
lemon the tips of the fingers can bt;
nibbed Into a section of it. Later rinse
well with clear wuter.
Stains on the sides of the fingers are
quickly removed with a moist pumlee
.stone. This is Invaluable to get off the
first blotches after preserving, paint
ing or doing nny disfiguring work. In
cases where the skin under the mills
has roughened a little powdered pum
ice can bo moistened with lemon juice
nnd applied with an orangewood stick
Never scrape away a stain; it rough
eus both cuticle and nail and becomes
a dirt catcher rather than dirt re
mover.
Soaking the tips of the fingers In
olive oil will help to keep the skin
about the nails In good condition.
Sweet Cream Face Bath.
When a woman's face is Inclined to
dryness In cold weather the less she
uses water on It the better, for the
water Is drying and will aggravate tho
condition that other agents which arc
cleansing may soothe and even heal.
A person who Is willing to take tin
trouble to use sweet cream dally 01.
her face will give the best of treat
ment. A tablespoonful of cream Is sul
ftcieut for this bath. To every table
spoonful of cream should bo put tei.
drops of tincture of benzoin. This h:t
tor preserves tho integrity of the erean
and is un excellent application.
To use this mixture a small bit o:
old soft linen should be saturated and
the fuce then thoroughly wot. Tli
thront and the flesh behind the ear
should nlso be bathed. Then with
the finger tips the surface so onolntei'
must be rubbed gently for five minutes
This will send tho creum Into the pore,
and loosen the dust. The face must
then be wet with more cream. ThI.
Inst wnsh Is to remove the soiled ap
plication. '
Before retiring is tho best time for
this work. The Inst anointing must
remain on all night. In the morning
the face should be wiped with n lotion
of one-eighth glycerin, the other seven
purts being rosewatcr. The wash Is
inteuded to have just enough glycerin
in It to prevent the astringent action
of rosewnter.
Sunning the Hair.
The reason that some women's hair
is so thin Is because, they never give
the air a chance to get at the scalp,
especially with the number of rats worn
nowndnys. But, even if you do not
wear them, give your hair a sunning
nt least once n week nnd every day if
it is possible. Your hair needs such a
treatment, and so does your scalp, for
the cold dries tho natural nourishment
and thus the balr is likely to become
dry and lusterless. Take all the hair
plus out of tho hair, remove-all the
tangles by running the fingers through
it then seat yourself in a comfortable
scat by the window through which the
sun is streaming. Toss the hair about
from time to time and massage the
scalp to got the glands working prop
erly. Part the hair in different places
so the sun will get all over tho sculp,
Do this for an hour if you can; but, If
not. half an hour is better than none.
You need not fear headache unless It
is the hottest part of the summer.
For Motorists.
The woman who motors should take
more care of her complexion in win
ter, for It Is now that much havoc is
wrought by biting east winds. Before
starting on a long drive she should al
ways rub cold cream into her face and
ou returning should wipe it off with
equal parts of rosewater and glycerin.
The tendency to wrinkles which is
produced so often by frowning when
motoring is prevented if the face Is
bathed with sour milk, the approach
lug wrinkles being gently rubbed in
Dip opposite direction.
Braid Invalid's Hair.
"When caring for a patient with
long, heavy hair I arrange it in two
firm braids," writes an experienced
nurse.
"Fastening two long, soft ribbons or
strips of cloth at tho top of tho braid,
I wind It closely to the end, again se
curing the strips carefully.
"In this sheath the hair lies smooth
md untangled, only needing to bo
cared for once in several days and giv
ing the sick one the least possible an
noyance." A Qood Fottenr.
Olive oil is an excellent fattener.
Borne can take a tablespoonful after
each meal easily. It stimulates and
makes active the digestive organs,
clears the complexion and' maker the
ves bright and sparkling;

Every mini deems that he has pre
cisely the trials and temptations which
ire tho hardest of all for him to bear,
but they are so because they are the
very ones he needs. Ulcliter.
