CONDITIONS THE SAME.

In old colonial days, as remote as
100 years ago, we find financial is
sues much the same as today. So
prominent was the money question
that much time and study was given
to the subject by the statesmen of
that day. Even the wise and learned
Franklin wrote at length upon the
absorbing topic. In reference to the
currency of Pennsylvania, in his au-
photography, the date of which is in
closed in brackets, the philosopher
describes existing conditions in his
own lucid style, the following ex-
cerpt of the same being reprinted
from a neighboring exchange:
"About this time 1928 there was
a cry among the people for more pa
per money, only fifteen thousand
pounds being extant in the province,
and that soon sunk. The wealthy in
habitants opposed any addition, be-
ing against all paper currency, from
an apprehension it would ~depreciate,
as it has done in New England to the
prejudice of all creditors. We have
discussed this point in our Junto,
where | was on the side of an addi-
ton, being persuaded that the first
small sun struck in 1923 had done
much good by increasing the trade,
employment, and number of inhabi-
tants in the province, since now saw
all the old houses inhabited, and ma
ny new ones building; whereas | re,
membered we'll, that when | first
walked about the streets of Philadel.
phia eating my roll, | saw most Of
the houses on Walnut street between
Second and Front streets, with bills
"To Let" on their doors, and man,
likewise in Chestnut and Other
streets, which made me think the in.
habitants of the city were DESERVING
it, one after another. Our debates
possessed me so fully of the subject
that l wrote and printed an anonym
Gus pamphlet on it, entitled, "The
Nature and Necessity of a Paper
Currency" 1t was well received by
the common people in general, bu
the rich men disliked it, for it in
creased and strengthened the clamo
for more money, and they happened
to have no writer's among them abb
to answer it, their opposition slack
ened and the point was carried by
majority in the house.
"The utility of this currency be
came by time and experience so evi
dent as never afterwards to be mucI
disputed, so that it grew oon to fiji
ty five thousand pounds, since whic1
it arose during the war to upwards c
three hundred and fifty thousan'
pounds, trade, building, inhabitant
all the while increasing, tho l no,
think there are limits beyond whic|
quantity may be hurtful."

Altogether Too Sensitive.

PIONEER Press: Governor Nc

that he cannot possibly be right, be.

themselves what will be done. The
bad old party is getting supersensi-

ROMANCE IN LITERATURE.

He Tried the Profession, but Twas Not
as a Writer That He Succeeded.
There is a well known gentleman in
this city who, when a young man at col.
lege, fell in love with a professors
daughter. Of course there is nothing
remarkable about that. Both were
young, and she was beautiful. The pro.
fessor was poor, but he was wise. There
is nothing remarkable about that. Wis.
dom is often associated with poverty,
especially that sort of wisdom that comes
from books. The young man was also
poor, but he was not wise-he wanted to
marry the girl right off. And there was
nothing remarkable about that. But
the poor, wise professor told the poor,
unwise young man:
$50 forth; go and do something. ]
don't care what you do, but go and dc
it. Then We'll see about the girl. II
she really thinks she can't get along
without you she won't mind waiting q
year OF two. If she won't wait you
won't want her."
The poor, unwise young man filed the
usual demurrer, but it was promptly
overruled. Then he went forth.
The first thing he did was to go and
buy a package of cigarettes and sit down
and think. He did so much thinking OF
this kind that he nearly starved to death,
Then he tried something else and picked
up two dollars a week and twenty dol
lars worth of self respect. But he didn'I
see any opening for matrimony and triei
something else. This too failed. Their
he tried something else.
The professor said he was a shiftles:
fellow-a rolling stone.
The daughter said he was a noble
young fellow and would get there.
The young nan had that girl in hi
eye all the time. Yet he seemed to mon
key with the great world. He tried lit
erature-newspaper literature.
The professor said that settled it.
So did the girl.
It did settle it, for the young man
now unwise and young no longer, grew
to fame and wealth as the head of
great syndicate, makes $4,000 a year
married the professors daughter an(
hires the professor at fifteen dollars
week to kill copy.-New York Herald.

THEY are badly off for lady at
fractions at Townsend. "A polite

carried her conquests into that town

name in the paper in three places,

Messenger force have since been
able to report for duty. Townsend

sionary work by the Sorosis club

. STRANGE old lady came u

A STRANGE old lady came W from
Great Falls last week and for a few
days worked a plan of systematic
begging among our citizens. She
told a pathetic story about a widow
and a mortgage of $500 and a for
closure of the latter mot the former,)
and as a result received a handsome
sum from our charitable citizens.
The probabilities, however, still re-
main that her story was put up to
order, for it is quite sure that any
serving pauper widow in Great
Falls would have no trouble in lift
ing a $500 mortgage.
