A good-looking, we'll TODD and
popular young bachelor of Siverton
was being leased by the young ladies
of a club for not getting married. He
said: cpl marry the girl OF your club
whom, on secret vote, you elect to
be my wife" There were nine mem
bers of the club. Each girl went into
a corner and used great caution in
preparing her ballot and disguised the
handwriting. The result of the vote
was that there we're nine votes, each
girl receiving one vote. The young
man remains bachelor, the club is
broken up, and the girls are all NOR
tai enemies, united in the one deter
mination that they will never speak
to that nasty man again.

Faithful to her promise, and with beat

dimly-lit corridor, in which reigned the
awful stiffness Of death. At the door Of
the 'blus chamber" she paused for an
instant, and giving one swift, frightened
glance around, disappeared into the re-
cesses of that mysterious apartment,
within whose walls lay hidden the silent
family secret of Granmore Grange. A

ORIGIN OF PAPER MONEY.

believed to Have Been First Issued by
italian Bankers Five Centuries Ago.
Paper money developed from the bills
of exchange or certificates of the
banks was probably first issued by the
italian bankers of the fourteenth cen
fury, says the San Francisco Examiner
Governments found it an easy way Of
obtaining money in times of necessity,
being, In effect, a forced loan from the
people Paper bills are promises TO
pay, and when the government issues
them in exchange for supplies or serv-
ice it has actually borrowed just as
much from the man to whom it pays
them. 1t, however, allows him to pass
this note in payment of his debts, so in
stead of being loan from him sinGly
1t is q loan from the whole people. The
ease with which the notes may be Is
sued has led many governments into
disastrous experiments in time OF war
or stress, the promises being issued Ia
such profusion that they became OF no
value. The continental currency issued
during the revolution by the American
congress, and the assignats of the
French revolution may be instaneed
Paper money depends for its vaiue on
the ability OF the authority That issues
1t TO give va1ne for it when payment is
demanded. When the issue of the civil
war wac in doubt the Ealue OF tho
greenbacks issued by the United States
sank to one-third their face valve, due
partly to a lack of confidence IN The
!. =
certainty that payment Of the notes
must be indefinitely postponed Even
when the war closed and there was 10
longer doubt OF the government the
currency was deprecated for thirteen
gears The government was IN the po-
sition of the man known TO hts neigh
boris as good, but slow pay" His notes
pass at a discount. The goFernnent
was known to be good for the amount,
and Ii was certain that IS would be
ready to redeem It's notes some day, but
that was not enough Tor tho man who
wanted to uso the money right away.
He thus passed the notes at a discount
The value E paper money thus de
ponds at any given moment on the
promise of the government TO redeem
it. II the promise viii be met when'the
notes gre presented they pass at their
face value. If there is doubt on this
point the notes must pass at discount,
greater or less according to circum-
stances If there Is no chance that they
will ever be paid they are worth moth
inget all As the United States gov
ernment has stood ready since 1879 to
redeem in gold any notes as soon as
presented, its currency passes without
question as to its face value.
