An interesting case is that of a woman living itar Hlamiltn. o., who wais burned to death. Shi had a Il.cketlHues with lir containing spvelty ,dollars. Her children sInt the Iocketbo-lk with its charred contents to the treaury de. a partimnt, and Mrs. Brown picked out thit" ;eveuty dollars inld iblntitied it. A great leal of tile miiny that co.mes in is partly bunled. Wherevli r a part of the burnedl monev can lie i leitil+od and a satisfactory affidavit is furnmhe. as to the facts the governmeeit ristoires the amount to the .i,-lr. 1But if a note is entirely destroyed the government is just so imuch ahlled. Much of tile mlnoey which culoies ill f, r redemption has been dilamaged in rail road wrecks. When a car is iurnned ill a railroad wreck no attempt is made by the express company to remove tlhe money front the safe. The safe is sent direct to the treasury deplrtnlent and opened there. The tniney is usually in a pretty badly charred condition. It is taken out, and the treasury experts go over it and identify as illmuch of it as can be recognized. Two years ago a plk age containing $22,000 was talken frin l a1 wreck near St. Louis, and all of the money was identified and restored to its owners. A favorite hiding llace for money with men who have no faith in banks is in their cellars. A Philadelphia man sent $260 which he had buried in a tin box under his cellar floor. When he took up the box he found the money mildewed and rotten. The lackage as it canme into Mrs. Brown's hands looked like a bunch of tobacco leaves. It was almost impossible to distinguish the character of the notes with the naked eye. Mrs. Brown was picking apart the pieces bit ! by bit andl arranging thelm onl slips of brown ltaper cut to the size of a dollar bill. She said that she expected to iden tity the whole of it. One man sent in some time ago forty two dollars which had been taken from the stomach of a goat. The goat was not worth forty-two dollars, so he was sacri oed. The identificaton of this money was not a very nioe task, but it was com tively an easy one. When Mrs. ,mm dropped the sticky mass into a basin of water the bills came apart and were very easily identified. This is not the only goat case which has come to the redemption division, and it has happened that even cows and pigs have been scori -_ed to recover money which they had swallowed. There is one case on record wher a baby swallowed some bank notes, and a emetic saved the money sad poslbly the baby. Babies do not 'enlt swallow an entire bill, but many afidavis are rceived accompaning por tin of bdil which my that the missing poroms wore swallowed by babies and "therefosr wholly destroyed."

Mr. Theodore Roosevelt is a practical politician and has some good stories to tell of his experiences while in the legis Isture.

"But, my dear friend," Mr. Roosevelt would say. "it's unconstitutional." "I never allow the constitution to come be. tween friends," was the reply, end then becoming very indignant the man would add, "Mr. Roosevelt, the constitution doesn't treat little things like that."

The rat had doubled on his track and was flying up the street again with the dog several paces behind. In between the feet of the personage dodged the rat. The dog essayed to follow by the same route and got tangled up with the feet. Down came the personage, his gold headed cane flying in one direction and his gold rimmed spectacles in another. Then and there he offered a few remarks that wrung from the boy an admiring tribute. "GCosh," said he, "you can cuss" In the meantime the rat was on hi way up the street, and the pretty young woman who with her "CGeorge" had emerged from the doorway, was walking down the street engaged in conversation. "Yes, he was just as nice about it as he could be; said it wasn't any trouble st all. He said- Oh! O-ww-w-w-w George! E-e'e-e-e-e-e! It's a rat! Help! It's coming this way.

George let out a terrific kick thai landed in the stomach of the Iprsuiti dog. By way of retaliation the dog took off part of one leg from George' trousers, and led across the street bowl.

The rat, intead of tak lag this chance of escape, rushed fran rcally across the street sad back aain, with the boy, who had co up, fo-lowed by the personage, hot on the tral. The parsonage was regarding with ndles gueed admiration the pretty girl, who, with garments gathere ad held up lightly in one hand, was standing on tiptoe on the box viewing the chase. George was looking at his trousers. The owner of the truck came out of the saloon in time to see his property rattling down the street. As he started after it, leaving a trail of profanity be. ind him, a gaunt cat sauntered out of the saloon. Before the teamster had caught his borse the aet had pounced on he rat and put an end to him. Then the dog avenged his woes by catchinag her by the back of the neck and shaking the lif out of her. The boy hit the dog with a brick on general principles. Then he returned to the personage, the boa, eorge, and the pretty young woausa The latter was saying: "Oh, dear! I was so scared.
