largely in six per cent. bonds and early
issues of the Government four per
cents. These were substituted for the
cash, the investor cutting off the
coupons and getting the money on
them as they became payable. The
prospective calls upon the cash could
be readily estimated, and anything be-
;ond that limit was converted into
bonds. This state of affairs went
along smoothly for about two years,
the enterprising teller enjoying all the
privileges as TO coupons of blOated
bondholder.
Soon after the Oby Owen defalcation
became public, the directors had sud-
den spasm of vigilance, and, one day,
without moments warning, they
called upon the teller for his keys, and
were about to institute count of cash.
With an assurance and nerve that
struck the investigating directorsfairly
speeches., he said: Gentlemen, you
can not have the keys. will give you
my written resignation, according to
the terms of our contract, hut you
shall not have the keys to the safe"
The gentlemen were taken complete
ly by surprise, and knew not what to
say or do. Arrest was threatened, but
the teller was obdurate, and the direct
ors finally withdrew to talk the matter
over. This gave him his chance. and
slipping out with the surreptitiously
purchased bonds, he speedily converted
them into cash, and the right amount
was deposited in the vaults. BY that
time the objection to the surrender of
the keys was removed, and the direct
ors and bondsmen, who had been thor
oughly nonplussed and thoroughly
frightened by the refusal, found their
heaped-up thousands secure and the
bank on as sound financial bedrock as
it had ever been. The fact that the
teller had just disposed of large
amount of bonds, however, led to the dis
covery of the way in which he had been
usirg the funds of the bank for his own
emolument. and the resignation went
into effect. During the time between
the purchase and sale of the bonds
they had largely appreciated in value,
so that during the transaction the teller
had cleared between $4,000 and $780,
600 from the rise in value and the cou-
pOns The bank was none the poorer
from the operation, and attempts made
to compel the emplOye-tO disgorge his
profits were unavailing. Public prose-
cution would have given the affair I'M

the story has consequently been closely

Aunt Dinah and the Camera.

Speaking of Aunt Dinah reminds me
of Ben's attempt TO photograph her.
After all the family had been duly
taken, they suddenly thought of Aunt
Dinah, and rushed into the kitchen to
ask her. She beamed with delight at
the suggestion, but said, in 4 sort OF
shamefaced way:
Laws, honey, yer don't wanter TUX
an ole body like me-"
Eyes, yes. we do; come, Aunt Dinah.
come right along"' shouted all the
children in chorus.
"He, he!' chuckled the delighted
Aunt Dinah, beginning to divest herself
of her kitchen apron, "ef y amt gwine
fer to take no 'scuse, s'pose I'll jeS' hab
to be TUX. But go long, honey, 90
long! Is comm, rs comm sho'; only
jes' stoppin' to find sumfin to frow ober
dis yer nOddle.''
Sure enough, out came Aunt Dinah
presently in her best plaid apron and
kerchief, yellow turban on, and her
gold earrings cleaning in the sun. Ben
sat her on a bench in the garden among
the sunfowers, and she made first-rate
picture-much better than Ben had any
idea of, and far finer, after all, than
Miss Molly in all her grand attitudes.
But the moment Aunt Dinah was
seated she began to look grave; she
grew, in fact, more and more solemn
as Ben proceeded to fix things" till
at length when all was ready She had
stiffened into really formidable grim
ness.
Presently Ben had everything ar
ranged to his satisfaction, and coming
to the front of the camera he said, in a
warning tone, and with a grand air that
never failed to strike terror to the heart
of the ignorant sitter: "All ready now,
take care!" and Immediately pulled of
the little brass cap.
Aunt Dinah had been looking in an
other direction, but at these words
turned quickly toward the instrument,
and whether startled by Ben's action
or tone, or both combined, it would be
impossible to say: but she suddenly
started from her seat and fled toward
the house, looking back over her should
er with terrified face, as she cried:
"Run, chil'en! Massey sakes, run!
it's gwine to 90 off! Seed one o dem
yer things bust afOre now! Done knock
eberyt'ing all to nuffinr'
The children all laughed and shouted
at poor Aunt Dinah's fright, but moth
ing could induce her to 60 back and
have her picture taken.

solemnly. "Yo' kin go eff ye wanter,

Our FOREIGN Population.

The immigration into the United
States during the fiscal year just ended
vas more than twenty-five per cent. be-
ow that of the preceding year and ten

preceded that. The total number of
immigrants arriving in the year just
closed was 500. ia, against 77O. 422 last

over 10.OOO.OOO. The smallest number
IF arrivals in any single year in the
aalf-century aforesaid was in 1888,
when the arrivals were 1894. In 1912
The number for the first time exceeded
100000. Since that it has only
fallen below that number four times
n 1913, 1874. 1861 and 1862. Germany
continues to furnish the largest number

USury.

Our English ancestors thought that
it was shameful and unchristian to de-
mand pay for the use of money. While
they never declared that the taking of
interest was unlawful, they made stat
utes to limit the amount. In time their
views changed, and they saw that it
was Just that borrower should pay
for the use of the money loaned him, if
the charee-called interest-was not
exorbitant. A trader who bOrrOws
money to use in his business, and there
by increases his profits, ought to pay
for the use of the money just as he pays
for the rest of his stock in trade.
In nearly all countries the rate of in
terest is fixed by law. In commercial
countries it is also the rule that any rate
Of interest can be given and accepted if
the agreement to pay it is made in writ
ing The reason for this is that the
value of money like the value of any
commodity is changeable. 1t is high
when money is scarce and low when it
is plenty 1t is right that the dealer in
money should have the same advant-
ages as the dealer in any other article.
To take or agree to take unlawful in
terest is usury. If taken unintentiOn-
ally, or by mistake, the agreement is
binding at the lawful late.
Money-lenders resort to many expe-
dients to avoid the law. Some of these
are allowable. A lender may deduct
the interest from the face-value of the
note, thus obtaining it in advance.
An agreement that year shall be
twelve months Of thirty days each, for
computing interest, is valid. Com
pound interest may be demanded and
taken if expressly agreed upon, but the
interest must be asked for wien it falls
due.
A lender, who is obliged to borrow
the trouble of raising it. The courts,
however, always watch such cases with
suspicion.
When man borrOws money to put
into risky business, the lender may
charge more than the lawful rate. He
has right to receive pay for the risk
he incurs. 1t is always lawful to buy
up note in the money-market for less
than its face-value.
The laws on usury do not apply to
loans of anything except money. Any
sum may be charged for lending arti-
clcs of commerce
luxurious agreements are worthless in
the hands of the parties who make them.
In some places, notes bearing usurious
interest are not good in the hands OF
persons who bought without knowing
them to be so tainted. Nearly every
where. however, an innocent holder
may obtain his money.
Modern laws have made the usury
regulations of little account. To-day,
in civilized lands, they are only curl
osity of ancient legislation. Youths

David 'hi-ed" at once. He gave a
grand flourish. as if to say: "EOok out

Unfortunately for the Squire, he was
so excited over the fun that he forgot
himself completely, and only thought
about the half-bushel measure. Instead
of dropping out of the sleeps way, he
swung the measure on one side, in his
excitement forgetting that David al
ways shut his eyes when he charged,
and aimed for the object before him
when he closed them. The consequence
was that the ram did not follow the
measure, but boiling straight for the
place where he last saw it., struck the
poor Squire square in the stomach and
he and David went over the bank and
into the creek as if shot out of cannon.

bows.
But the story leaked out in some way,
and the Squire had to endure a good
