| DOROTHEA $ CAREER ;
:|; By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON. 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

COMPLETE COUNT
FOR GOV. FINANCES
Accomplished in Remarkably
Short Time of Three
Weeks.
Washington. ? 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

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. Allen, his successor,
for the cash and securities of
the government held in the treasury.

PRODIGIES ARE
INCREASING:
I
I
Font! 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."

GOLDEN RULE
HELPS BUSINESS
Head of Cincinnati Manufacturing
Company Gives
Results.
Cincinnati, O.?Since employes of
the 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. So th?
chain of the operation of the Golden
Rule has completed itself.
