Ijj ' 1 ' Dorothea ripped open the otticial looking envelope and run her eye rapidly over the conteuts of the letter and then at the place on the inclosed check filled in to the amount of a thousand dollars. Somebody had died, no matter who, aud her share of the deceased relation's estate uow lay in her hand to do with as she would. The state of Dorothea's feelings may be more readily understood perhaps if the reader be Informed of the things that had been uppermost in her mind all day. She had been living over again her triumph of the night before, when * as star performer at the dedication of 1 the new library, she had won laurels : far beyond her greatest dream of sue- < cess. Of course everyone knew she could play; and she played the organ Sundays, and figured conspicuously on the programs in all the local concerts. But no one In Parsonsburg had ever heard her sing before. Not even Mrs. Pressing* who lived in the other half j of the bouse, except perhaps a little humming whei? she was hurrying through with her dishes to go to the movies with Charley. I Dorothea, therefore, was as surprised as anybody when on the day before the library concert she had dls- j covered something. She hu<l found the soprano's part of the offertory for Sunday lying on top of her piano after the choir had gone ' home from practice. She glanced over the notes, first humming the tune, then crooning It, and finally opening her mouth and letting out the full round notes. lCcstacy took hold of bet. She had never known what a joy it was to sing. Cu._ it one wouid surprise rarsonburg and sing nt the library instead of playing the serenade from Chnminade that she hud intended. I And so Dorothea had stood upon the platform in the auditorium of the new library and ha<l sung, and not the least of her triumph was the look of perplexed surprise on Charley Totten's face. Dorothea was silent on the way home. Life, which before that day was carrying her straight into matrimony, with Charley's heart and home as u port, had suddenly turned In its course and was heading for the harbor of career. Already grand opera was looming large, and she had vlsloriR of herself as lirunnhllde and Caruso as Siegfried wooing her with the soft notes of his wonderful tenor. And so, when the check for the thousand dropped out of the clouds to light-' en the way, there was no doubt Id Dorothea's mind that it was all heaven-; sent. She 'phoned to Charley. "I'm leaving in the morning for New i York," she said. "I wish you'd come' around tonight. I've something to tell. you." Hut when Charley saw his dreams of happiness lading and the girl he adored slipping away forever lie voiced a pro-. test. "There isn't much in that game, j girlie. You've got a mighty line voice, j but it takes years of hard work, and, then some, to get anywhere, and not j always then. Besides, Dolly, 1 was; Just going to tell you. I've had some j good news myself, and 1 was going to J ask you if you could get ready to he i married next month. Uncle Ned's writ-; ten for me come on and he's going to j give me a dandy position in his bank' You can still live in New York and you ! won't have to work so hard as you will at your music. 1 can't give you up, Dolly." Hut the magical door had shown Dorothea visions she could not forget. "I'm sorry, Charley, but I feel that I cannot waste my life being merely domestic. I think it's my duty to go ahead and make the most of my talent. Besides, it. looks like fate when a thousand dollars drops from the skies like this. No, it's all over, Charley. I hope you'll be very happy* Good-by, now. I must pack." A year sped along. Food, lodging and lessons at ten dollars apiece hud played ducks and drakes with Dorothea's fortune. There were tlxe years , of hard work ahead, years in which more money would be needed, and years, too, at the end of which nothing was certain. She had discovered j a thing or two also?that New York - i had thousands of musical students with 1 as >?ood or better voices than she had.! The money went. There was not.lv>1 in? left hut to go hack to teaching music In I'arsonhurg or to find work in New York. She would rather have died than to own up to defeat in her own town, s<? she took a course in stenography and finally answered an ad. Of course It was Charley who turned : from the l>lg mahogany desk when she Tn <stnn n COnS^Lr ?' ?

A complete court Df the government's cash has just, been made for the first time in twelve years. The total approximated thirteen billion, five hundred million dollars and included all cash and securities held as reserves against currency outstanding. The count was made by a special I committee of three, assisted by eight! accountants and by fifteen laboiers who were used to move around the heavy sacks of gold and silver. The men delved into great vaults in the treasury building and took stock of j.;o!d, silver and paper money and se curities, many of which had not seen the light of day since shortly after William Howard Taft was inaugurat ed President and a new treasurer of the United States appointed in 1901). The accountants in entering the vaults passed grim visaged guards who day and night sit on the lid, to prevent any possible attempts at an unauthorized raid on the treasury. The vaults themselves are supposed to be burglar proof and are oi massive concrete and steel construc tion. The storage sections are kept under seal and this was the first time that some of them had been opened in twelve years, for when John Burke became treasurer aftoi President Wilson was first inaugurat od he accepted the count of cash in the storage sections, which had not '' efi! opened since the previous count in 1909. The accountants handled money of every possible denomination from the lowly copper to $iu,000 bilis. Many Oi the bills, particularly those of ihe large denominations, such a^j $1,000 were in sheets of four each and held as reserve against currency of smaller denominations in circulation. Thousand loddar .bills in circulation arc few and each bank in the country is kept supplied by the treasury with a list of them with their numbers, so that if perchance any arc extracted from the treasury illegally the holder will have extreme difficulty in realizing on them. The count just finished was made necessary by the retirement of John Burke as treasurer and was completed in the remarkably short time of three weeks through the use of electric counting machines. Loose coins passed through these machine* instead of being counted by hand as was necessary in the olden days. Pa per currency wasf counted by the niece, but stored coins and currency were counted by the sack or package in cases where the wrappings were unbroken and the seal on each intact. In Too Large Vaults The main supply of the government's money is stored in two large vaults, but there are a number of smaller ones in the various division* of the department as well as in the cash rooms where cash' payment? are made by the government. Gold coins stored in the vaults were counted by weight. The gold is kept in sacks, sealed with tho treasurer's wax seal and containing $5,000 each, weighing about 18 pounds and 7 ounces. First one sack was weighed and then the others were examined. If both the seal and covering were found intact they were weighed against the first or test sack and K f.he results was the same, were passed and counted. However, if a sea! was broken or tho sack torn or there was appreciable difference in weight the contents were counted by tho piece. Standard silver dollars were counted in tho same way as th^ gold coins. Thev are stored in sacks containing 1.000 and weighing about 00 pounds. Wo1,1; on the silver coin was lessened officials said, bv the government's melting 100,000,000; silver dollars under the Pittman act, j for sale to the British government i to relieve the silver famine in India \ during the war. Paper money is stored in paperl packages making a tube of about ?'' inches each way and containing 4,000 notes. On each package is stamped the amount and the denomination of the nntos A wnv i? nf. tached. Except where a broken sr i1 or package necessitated an actual count of the contents the paper ir tlie vaults was counted by the pack-, ap:e. Sealed packages of paper mone\ are accepted from the bureau of enjrravinj* and printing as correct when the wrappings are intact because the ': "iir? division of the treasury maintains an office in the bureau and in reality counts all the paper money1 PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN \ * / I m SMEGST* When Folks want *v2ytiling Done, they go to J.

Coins of smaller denominations? quarters, dimes, nickels and coppers ?stored in sacks were counted in the same manner as the silver and gold by taking the weight of p vtcst *.*?H< for each denomination and weighing the other sacks against it. Upon completion of the count the storage compartments of the vaults were sealed with the seal of the special committee and a receipt was given to Mr. Burke, the retiring treasurer, by Guy F.

Parents are Asking Each Other the "IQ" of Their Little Hopefuls. (By Clara Savage.) New York.?This city* is threaten-! ed with an epidemic of child prodigies. Susan Mitchell, aged 8, began it. Every one who knew Susan had thought that she was like any other I'll) t ? i iniio gin o! nor ago. I wouM have' thought so myself, when 1 saw Susan if I had not known Die results of the} Binet-Simon tests, through which tin- ! "vho'ogical ai'thorties of Teachers college put her. The tests show that though she might he eight, physically, she v.a 1 !, mentally. That set fond narantr j all over Greater New York to think ting. Perhaps they had a little prodigy in their homo. Interest in the | subject is spreading to such an extent. that soon no child in the country ! i .uy*bo e livn having their men- j tm! a?*e ( >) ' > 1 ; !or?,d j complete without its prodigy. . [>f her intellectual superiority to children her age. I found her at the outof-door school she attends on the roof of a New York hotel. She is a chunky little blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl with "Dutch cut" straight, light hair. You would never guess that at 4 she could tell the time in French or | that she early dispensed with nursery rhymes and substituted songs, the words and music of which she made up herself. She now writes stories which authorities of teachers' college declare would be a credit to a college freshman. Asked what books she like to read, she said: "I row reading about prehisf'-' icn r.nd animals." She is apparently, entirely familiar with tho dinosaur and calls the pithecceanthropus by his name. "Have you curly hair?" she suddently asked me, and when 1 admitted I hadn't, she said, "I'll show you something. I always wished my hair was curly, and it isn't, but now I've discvered something to do about it." She seized a lock between stubby thumb and forefinger and began to push the single hairs back, toward her forehead. The result was a somewhnt sn.*\j*ly, but rather fluffy 1 effect. Probably every woman with straight hair lias practiced that par- \ tieular trick at crucial moments. When Susan Mitchell demonstrated it at the age of 8. 1 know indeed that she was a child marvel. But how are you to teM whether |. your offspring is just ccmmr-n prod- | lgy or uncommon prodigy? You can got the tests, and then if you can per suadc Mary or Johnny to hold still lone: enough, you can try them in your own home. Begin by asking: him to point to his nose, eyes, mouth and hair in succession. A child of three is expected to point correctly < to three out of four. A child a few ; years older may wonder if you haveij lost your mind when you try this test; on him. He may even remark that vour mental af'c is ^ot what it ought to be but don't let that embarass you.! Ask him something harder?one of the! questions in the fifth test for four-1 year-olds, for instance, "What must you do when you are cold?" If he is a city child he may reply, "Row with the janitor," but you can not be sure from this that he is a prodigy. "Tell the difference between stone and egg, between wood and glass, betweeen a fiv and butterfly"?that's a test for seven-year-old, according to Binet-Simon. Tho last test oi an is a list oi iuu I words which the child is expected to define. At eight years of age the average child should be able to define 20 word.; according to psychologists: at ten years, HO words, and so on. Susan Mitchell was able at eight to define -r>0 of the 100. The test begins with "grown" and "orange" but does go on to such hard words as "disproItrgy, limpet, homuncuhis," and others. When you have finished testing the chi'dren try it on any adult who may bo hnndy and soe what happens. "What is your little Alice's 1Q (intellectual quotient)?" one New York mother was heard to ask of another. "My Gladys ifc 10r>.32." It may bo greek to the uninitiated, what, they are talking about, Tt moans they have put their young hopefuls through all the tests, computed their correct answers in terms of months, according to printed directions, thus ascertaining the mental age of the child, .divided the mental ago by the physical age, and thus arrived at the "IQ" or "intelligence quotient," in the language of psychoj logists. Simple, being a parent nowadays, isn't, it : Give Sick, Bilious Child "California Fig Syrup" "California Syrup of Fi^s" is the best "laxative physic" to tfive to a sick, feverish child who is biiious or constipated. Directions for babies and children on bottle. They love its fruity taste. Beware! Say "California" or you may not get the genuine recommended by physicians for; over thirty years. Don't risk injuring* i your child's tender stomach, liver and bowels by accepting an imitation fitf syrup. Insist upon "California." ?a!

Nash Com., a manufacturing Bonqorn of this city voted to take i\ voluntary vacation if necessary to l^ive work to unemployed, there has been further developments in tb.i^ business which is being run on the Golden Rule basis. Mr. Nash outlined these recent steps. "Business men of Chattanooga, Tenn., have' become so interested in results obtained by application of the Golden Rule to this business that they have subscribed stock to ouen a Tonnessoo rnmnnm'. "Employes arc so much interested in the Golden Rule that they conducted a service in the Cinicinnati People's Church in January. "Arrangements have been made to conduct classes in business management and economics for employes. "Business has expanded so much since employes presented their petition proposing they take a vacation that a new shop has been opened. "This growth has employed a large number of men out of work and with the reopening of activity for the spring the need of Nash employes stepping out to make room [temporarily for others has passed." Mr. Nash said he had salesman in many other cities and that the goods of the firm were sent to nearly every state in the union, "1 am not interested in this business simp.y from the standpoint of production but from seeing what results can be obtained when everybody works from the basis of doing to others as he would have done by,'' Mr. Nash said. "I am not interested in making money. I have already more than I ever dreamed of having. In fact, I am worried about the money, for I have seen too many crimes committed under the shadow of great wealth. "That the Golden Rule pays in the operation of a business, 1 think has been demonstrated in ours. "W/i ? in- wmv. j uiuiiuiuciurer can produce the results* that our workers do, when they know they are working for themselves and for the good of others around them. Increased output of course would not count and we would have broken up if we had not had the business. But the Golden Rule works right. here too. It has gotten us the business. Through the period of depression as well as through the [period of high prices we have kept (right on growing. "Incidentaliy we have written into the charter of the Chattanooga factory that it shall be co-owned by t no worker4-. The man who subscribed stock 1 insisted should give themselves in a measure to the work. "We have treated our customers as we would be treated.
