fractional silver currency can now be
obtained.
Secretary Sherman long hesitated before
he could decide to do this. II was sug.
gested to him and urged upon him many
weeks ago, before he left Washington on
his vacation tour. Indeed, his decision
may have been sudden, US he yesterday
stated, in response to an inquiry how the
$40. .OOo0 would be put in circulation, il
at ali, that he had not given the subject
any thought. His objection has always
been that 10 authorize the issue OF silver
dollars would be simply to disburse them
at one window OF the Treasury, and re-
ceiye them nj another for customs dues:
but tho Secretary has determined TO make
the experiment. Itistrue tho circular will
state that the sole purpose is to facili-
tate the circulation OF standard silver dol.
lars as currency, and not that they may be
received for customs, either by themselves
or in the form OF silver certificates. The
officers who are TO receive deposits OF cur
rency as a basis OF obtaining silver dollars,
are expected TO see TINT that object is car
ried out, But these officers wilinot have
detective power to follow every silver dol
lar that Il mid out by the Sub!Treasury or
depository. and in event the person first
receiving the dollar could be forbid TO use
them for customs purposes, It would not be
possible to run to the person to whom, in
Ike course OF business, the person
receiving them might transfer them.
The Treasury proposes, in fact, to
send out, at It's own expense for trans
portation, silver dollars in sums Of not less
than 1000 or more than 10000 to any one
person who may make corresponding de-
posits in currency with any Sub Treasury,
designated depository, or national bank
designated as a depository. In addition to
that, for the present at least, all national
bank notes sent for redemption in multi.
plies Of 81 900 and not exceeding $4,000
will be redeemed in standard silver dollars.
This means undoubtedly the beginning OF
resumption in silver dollars. The Treas.
ury authorities are OF opinion that the
Treasury HAS margin enough OF gold to

Abernethy followed her to the hall,
pressing her to take back her fee
or let him give her another pre-
scription, but the lady was mex
orable and left the house.
The famous DR.. John Radcliffe
was brusque with almost every one.
He told an old lady who had OBJ
tanned admission on false pretenses
that "he neither knew what was
good for old women nor what an
old woman was good for" Rad
cliffe had rough humor which APP
preached wit. He once told a pa
vier, who had dunned him for a
small amount, that he chad done
his work badly, and then covered
it with earth 10 conceal it," The
man answered very significantly:
"Mine is not the only bad work
which the earth couceals." Struck
with the retort, the doctor paid the
man, adding a guinea to the amount,
observing that he was a wit, and
must therefore be POOR. For 60
ing to the continent to see and pre-
scribe for the Earl of Albemarle,
Radcliff received $4,000 and the
offer of baronetcy, and his pa
tent gave him $4,000, diamond
ring of great value, and large sum
to pay his travelling expenses. Sir
Henry Thompson, for having sue
cessfully operated on Leopold, late
King of the Belgians, for a disease
of the PROSTATE gland, received the
enormous fee of 100000, with the
knightly order of Leopold. Sir
Ashley Cooper's ANIMAL income on
ly amounted to $500 in the fifth !
year of his practice. But when
Professor of Compare
tive Anatomy in the College of
Surgeons in 1918, it had risen to
the large sum of 100000. 1t is
said that Sir Ashley lectured as
usual on the day he was married.

AFTER ALL.

The apples are ripe in the srehard,
The work OF the reapers is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
iss In the blood of the dying sun.
At the cottage-door the grandsiro
- sifs, pale, in his easy ehSir,
whilea gentle wind Of twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneelng beside him;
A fair young head is prest
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come,
or the flying blast of trumpet
AMI the rafting roll Of drum.
Then the grandsire speaks in a whisper
"The end no man can seei
But we give him to his country,
And We give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The rose-buds fringe the door.
And over the grassy orchard
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty,
And the cottage is dark and still,
There's a nameless grave on the battle field,
And . new Que under the hill.
And pallid, fearless woman
BY the cold hearth sits, alone;
d. And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on in a steady drOue.
