'He might die" she said, meditatfvely,

suggestion.

why Gold IL Not Received at the Ranks
Without Delay.
do you know that gold Is the most
unwieldy of all the different kinds If
money now ia cfrculation?" said q
prominesst Washington banker to re-
porter
why sop" was asked
Because it is not bankabIe without
careful scrutiny.
@How is that?"
"Simply this: Take a greenback,
silver certificate, gold certificate. or
national bank note to your bank, and it
is received and placed to your credit
without moments delay. Not so with
gold. A few days ago a gentleman
brought TO our bank upward OF So, 900
in gold OF different denominations. and
was much provoked because we would
not receive it forthwith and give him
credit for the amount the faces of the
coin represented This we could not do,
because the law requires that gold shall
be redeemed only at its actual value.
Coins carried in the pocket for any
length of time naturally lose something
in weight by abrasion--probably but
fractional part Of cent ON a ten dollar
coin-but it is loss nevertheless, and
therefore bankers can not give credit
for gold deposits until the coin shall
have been weighed.
I'm the case in point my friend took
his gold to the Treasury Department.,
and was compelled to wait there nearly
an hour before he could get notes for it
Every coin had to be passed through tho
scales. and after the weighing process
had heen completed three coins-two $5
pieces and one $40 piece-were returned
to him as short in weight Before re-
turning short weight coins the depart
ment stamps on the face of each cross.
The owner is left to either send the
coins to the United States mint for re-
demption or to again put them in circu-
lation. Eventually the coins with
crosses on their faces will go to tho
mint and be redeemed at their actual
value. In many instances there may
not be more than several cents shortage
on $50 worth of coin. Business men,
however, naturally object to the incon-
venience, and get rid of their gold as
sOon as possible

Facts About the Queen or sheba.

It's rather late to learn the truth about
the Queen of Sheba. Nevertheless, the
Academy of Inscriptions is greatly exer-
cised about this subject One Of its
members thinks that he has discovered
that Slleba was in Arabia, and that the
queen was the mother of Aben Solomon,
who founded kingdom in Ethiopia.
She went to Jerusalem on conquest bent,
and would have liked to stay there.
But the wise Hebrew thought she would
be hard to manage. and more useful
ally in her own country. He therefore
sent her back laden with presents and
fred with ambitious projects. We may
expect one of these days to see her per-

The BENEFIT Of Newspaper rrain,nr.

l believe ] have done everything
which an editor or publisher ever has
to do, from directing wrappers up
to writing the biography Of President
within an hour after his death. This
means If the training be continued
through many years of life and if one
be under a good chief, that one gains,
of necessity, the ready use. at least, of
his own language. We newspaper
men may write English very ill, but
we write it easily and quickly. So
that TO US, who have been in The busi-
ness, sthere is something amazing to
hear clergyman say that he occupied
week in composing a sermon, which
was, at the outside, thirty-five hum
dred words i'm length. One can UNDER
stand absolute inability to do it at all
but no newspaper man understands
how man who can do it, can spend
thirty-six hours in doing it.
Ii you have to send copy, upstairs,
hour after hour, with boy taking the
slips from you, one by one, as they are
written, and you know that you are
never to see what you write until you
read it the next day in the paper, your
copy will be puEciuated carefully, writ
ten carefully, and it will be easily read.
That is one thing. Another thing
goes with it. You will form the habit
of determining what you mean to say
before You say il. how far you want TO
go and where you want to stop. And
this will bring you to a valuable habit
of life-to stand by what has been de-
cided. Napoleon gave the same ad-
vice when he said: "If you set out TO
take Vienna, take Vienna.u
For these reasons, / am apt to rec
ommend young men TO write for the
press early in life, being well aware
that the habit Of doing this has been
of use to me.-Edward Everett Hale.

probability is that all the good soil will be re-

it has the advantage over the sisal plant that
