About year ago. ut one end OF the barn
like looking room of the Christian Assocla-
ton tranSacting business by the cold and
uncertain light Of dying March sun, there
sat forlo-n-looking company of innocentS
known by the rather imposing title Of Tn"
Committee on Nominations OF the Young
Mems Christian Association Their ages
were so far apart that it looked Il little slngu-
lar that they could all be crowded in under
the head Of . Young Men" but there was
sad similarity in their condition for, with
the exception Of the chairman, who. by-the-
bvc, was worth more than all the rest put
together. they were al single. The chair
man. doubtless with The view oturlkng them
additionally wrctched, had Just finished
very di>hearteniag statement ot the financial
condition Of tn" society. The imoccnts
looked at each other in helpless kind Of
way, and then at the Chairman, ~ il they
didn't in the least know what could he done.
and couldn't see why he should be cyclu@
them in that severe sort Of Wjv when It
was not their fault. They had not got the .AS-
sociation in debt; they could not help il
when the outsiders would not consent to
''Scc it" and join; they had tried a hard
a they could t. get new members. ana the
new members wouldn't be gotten and now
they could only sit down and look 1t one
another and wish they were dead, which
was all they thought could be reasonably
expected of them.
1T this moment Of gloom a sali0w and
Sad-l0okng innocent Of forty summers sug-
geStcd in hc~itatinC sort OF way, Lets
lets have a Fair" and then looked 50 fright
cncd thai everybody was sorry that he had
said anything at all. 4 handsome young
fellow on tie other corner OF the bench
said, " Why, that's the very thing This
raised cVerybOdy's spirits, That man
should have the pluck to >ay that anything

that struck everybody for its good sense,

doubted the mans sincerity. Heres What

FRAcrIoSAL CUEREScY.-In series of
regulations just adopted in the Treasury
Department at Washington, cUneerning
the redemption of the national currency.
we read that defaced fractional notes, if
whole, are not considered as mutilated
when presented for redemption nor is
an evidently accidental aimlnution redu-
cling the note by not more than one-tenth
of its size, reg aried as mutilation.
l. Fragments Of note will not be re-
deemed, unless it shall BE- clearly evident
that they constitute one-ha.f or more OF
one original note. in which case a nots,
however mutiated, will be redeemed W
proportion to the whole note, reeisonfng
by tif,bs. excepting three cent notes,
which will be reckoned by thirds,
>. Mu,ilation less than onc~terth, will
be diSrc garded, unless fraud alent but
anv mutilaton which DESTROYS more than
ouc-tenth of the original n~te, will reduce
the redemption value q shc note By one
fifth its face value, ST If three cent note
by onc-third OF lts original value.
3 Fragments Of d three cent note will
not be redeemed, unless such fragment
conStit1.t fully two-thlrds Of the note in
its origirul form.

dempiion must be i'll sums not less than
