said It. And some of the fellows who
made the remark bad ssslstcd in
damning her to those depth; for none
who had ever visited her or her kind
ever did a thing to help her 10 a bet

I never saw Belle. Perhaps It U
to my own shame I say It, but I uevvr
did. But this I nay to people V6ryon
of whom knows me: She was lufi.In'

Thie treasury dpartment has about
decided to make smaller paper money
and to have all paper money uniform
. in design. According to present Indi
cations the plan will probably be car
ried out. The face of George Wash
lngton will be seen on all the f 1 bills.
This much Is due to George, the father
of his country. The children will thus
see him frequently, for there Is hardly
anybody, even In the most strenuous
times who doesn't catch a fleeting
glim pad of a fl bill once in a while.
The J2 bills will bear a picture of
Thomas Jefferson, the father of Demo
cracy, who drafted the Declaration of
Society curses Ihese wonieni but
r.uys we must have t'le curse; soclsiy
blasphemes them In daylight and
blesses them at night. Vv'lieo one of
them whom we have ax cursed dies
who blesses her? She is given a bur
ial In potters field: no heara. no
flowers, no prayers, no mourners,
Sometimes two or three faithful
friends from her own kind accompany
the dead-wagon to the cemetery. Let
one of the hundreds of met who con
trlbuted to her continued downfall die
and what Is the result? Fine casket,
flowers, often the funeral from a lodge
room (somietlmes from a church), mu-
ttiHowmlanpA PpnnlA ' will vet A
, . ' . ,., ale. carriages, eulogies, etc., etc., to
chance to see Thomas only about halt I 9 ' ' '
as often as they see George, but per
haps this is as it should be. The treas
ury department, being expert in such
matters, ought to know.
The 5 bills wll bear the portrait of
Abraham Lincoln and the $10 bills
will portray the late Grover Cleveland.
A good many young men working on
alary will probable see Grover for a
few minutes before their wlvfs or the.
bill collectors arrive and in this way
they will be able to beep a sort of
bowing acquaintance with the portrait
cf that notable Democrat. Andrew
Jackson's picture will adorn the $20
bills, and the superintendents, depart
ment beads, expert engineers and a
few others, will have an excllnt op
portunity to keep polished up, on the
personal appearance of the strenuous
old general. General Hrant's face will
llumlne the $50 bills aad few outside
of the bankers and lumbers will ever
get a chance to see him. Franklin will
adorn the $100 bills and the picture of
Alexander Hamilton, the father of the
treasury department, will be found on
the $1,000 bills. Franklin will be
eeen once in a while by a favored few.
white Hamilton will rarely be seen
excepting by newspaper men on sal
ary day. 1
Howewr It Is a pretty good system.
There may be many who will grow to
think that WaBhlngtoa wa3 tha only
great man who ever lived in this
country, but they can lor.ra or the oth
ers by reputation and by reading his
tory. -
If the treasury department could al
so devise means whereby there could
be more bills as well the public would
be greatly obliged.
THE COURTESAN CROAKED.
(J. D. Glllllan.)
"Belle croaked las, night." That's
the way the male habltuts 6f her re
sort, the hangers-on about the saloon,
your nausea, wny tnis amerence
when she Is the lesser sinner? The
answer is contradictory: Alan Is a lord,
woman Is a vassal, a lid the logic of the
world Is "As it was, is bow and ever
shall be." Thus the lesser becomes
the greater,
ome time ago In Welser, Idaho, a
woman whom some men bad degrad
ed was pursued to her room (her only
refuge) by a man of family whom she
had told must never visit her. In des
peration She shot and killed him and
then suicided. His lodge sent him to
heaven, a martyr with a crown of glit
tering gold. She lived some days un
der guard at the hospital, calling tor
someone with whom she might Bpeak;
not an acquaintance, minister or oth
er was called or permitted to see her.
I was asked to attend her funeral.
Not a dog that had ever hounded her
haunts in the darkness was there. Llke
the coyotes they are, they (some of
thom) stood afar off and watched the
half dozen of us start for the unhal
lowed grate. - ;. ' ; . .;'
I never have seen of these bruised
beings, however low, but I have been
willing to takra the no longer terrified
and tearless face between my hands
and plant a joyful Was of forgiveness
on the forehead and help her by tak
ing her to my own Home, or-pmcing
hjr elsewhere, to get into the better
life.
God have mercy on them! Society
will not. who can pray ror me peo
ple who destroy them?
