SUM M Err NIGHT.

Oh, silent night
Oh, smothering stiffness
That settles down on dropping bough,
Thou hold'st the earth in breathless slumbef
Awake, but now.
Gray mists arise
From dew-wet flowers
That lend their fragrance to the night;
And languid float on breath OF summer
An incense light
A pale moon shines
On weary grasses,
That bend their heads with mournful grace.
Then sinks behind the white clouds floating
And wells her face
Heat quivers oft
In lightning flashes
Along the soft gray northern sky,
And Eliminates the grand old forest
In shade near by.
A bird sings out
In broken stanZaS
From yon tall bush with blossoms fair,
Dream songs that, sung in drowsy snatchcs,
Arouse the air,
And echoes find
In hidden music,
That soft descend from rogiens high
And wake the sleeping, sultry breezes
To softly sigh.

"Shake what? whom?" asked his
aunt.
"Why, those sisters of mine. They
don't behave themselves. Why should
they snnb a girl because of her pow

"Why, indeed? doubt if they could
do as well, if left penniless. All! Tony,

Miss Barton had ascended two flights
of stairs, entered hall bedroom and
taken off her hat and jacket She sat
down in crealy old rocking chair and
indulged in a few tears. Exactly why
she cried was problem to herself She
was accustomed to loneliness; reading
was its antidote. She understood the
treatment accorded her by her neigh
bors 1t was very weak and silly to
fret; for her time was all to be occupied
for weeks to come, and what more
could she desire? Suppose she had no
work-no means of paying her board
then, indeed, she might be excused for
sobbing like a baby. But she was
fully aware that when she was without
engagements she never dreamed of cry
ing; she went out and looked for some
thing to do. Perhaps she WAS hungry.
She had several hours to wait before
dinner would be ready in the close,
heated dining-room, filled with table
boarders, where she gladly presented
herself at six o'clock every evening.
Having decided that it was hunger,
and not wounded pride that had as
sailed her, and being healthy of mind
and body, she opened n drawer, helped
! herself to crackers and chocolate, and

Miss Barton felt her cheeks warming
with delightful anticipations Forum
ately, if the world is afflicted with
purse-proud people, it is blessed with
warm-hearted, thoughtful, human men
and women, who keep the balance on
the right side.
On the Wednesday evening following,
Miss Barton found her hostess con-
versing with tall, slight, attractive
man, whose age was rather battling
owing to his fairness and bright ex-
preston. She presented him to Miss
Barton, and observed that the girl
blushed prettily and seemed rather
more shy than usual.

that as the English surpass all other
people in opulence and commerce, so do
they surpass all other peoplein the mag
nitude of their commercial and banking
credits. The credit system, which is
part Of modern civilization, and which
has grown with it's growth and strength
ened with it's strength, and is one Of its
glories and necessities, like most other
benefcent agencies, brings with it some
disadvantages. One Of the greatest of
these is it's tendency to produce COM
mercial and financial crises, which the
wit of man has as yet found no sufficient
means to prevent.
In contrast with the violent monetary
fluctuations Of England and the less Vio-
lent fluctuations of the other highly
civilized nations Of western Europe are
the stationary conditions and the repose
of the non commercial nations, and
especially Of eastern Asia. There may
be nothing praiseworthy in this quietude,
but 1T is none the less an existing con-
dition, and it is one Of the consequences
Of this condition that Asia never dis
turbs the world with bank panios, or
with any "jerks and changes" in it's de-
msnd for silver, which is it's money. 1t
takes more or less Of it, only as the mod
crate fluctuations Of actual commerce
enable it to command more or less.
Of all the reasons for adopting the
gold standard, this reason, to persuade
that it is the standard of England and
may become that of all western Europe,
should dissuade us most. We have
causes enough of fluctuations in our own
internal condition, and in the sanguine
and enterprising character of our people,
without adding to them, if we can posi-
bly, avoid it, that of an identity of cur
rency with a quarter of the globe most
subject from the nature of things to
currency crises and disorders.
1t was this view which governed the
statesmen of Holland when they adopted
the single standard of silver in 1847.
Their reasons, as given in letter OF S.
Vissering, professor of political economy
in the University Of Leyden, published
in the Journal des Economists january,
1876, were:
Because England, which then almost
alone had the standard of gold, was sub
ject to frequent monetary crises, and
that by adopting the same rule we should
run the risk of being involved in those
crises.
Because the mass of silver in circula-
tion, and the conditions of the produc-
ton Of that metal, give it a fxity of
value to which gold could not pretend.
The views thus held in Holland were

The comparative effects of the double and
SSngge standards upon the stability of
the money market an the United States.
It is important to consider whether the
steadiness of the money market in this
country will be best secured by the ex-
elusive use Of the n oney of England, or
by using money Of which one of the
constituent elements is the currency of
the non-commercial nations.
England has been conspicuous, GER
tainly for two generations, for the fre-
quency and violence Of it's commercial,
banking and monetary panics. The rate
Of interest of the Bank of England was
changed two hundred and twenty-three
times in the twenty-seven years begin
ming with 1847, and the range Of fluctu-
alton was from 215 to 10 per cent. 1t is
now per cent. In the one hundred and
twenty-five years preceding 1916, when
the gold standard was adopted, there
were only sixteen changes, and the rate
never fell below or rose above 6 per
cent.
The frequently recurring crises in the
London money market have been ascribed
by high authorities to the existence of
the narrow basis Of gold.
In testimony given before a parlia-
mentary committee in 1923, Alexander
Barring said:
A sudden change from peace to war,
bad harvest, or panic year arising from
oVertrading and other causes, immedi-
ately impose upon the Bank of England,
which Is the heart of all our circulation,
for the purpose of protecting itself, to
stop the egress of specie; sometimes even
to bring large quantities into the coun-
try. These indispensable remedies are
always applied with more or less OF re-
striction Of the currency and consequent
distress. No care or prudence
can enable the great bank to avoid occa-
sional resort to those measures Of defense.
x 1t is evident that the bank,
wishing to enforce the supply of specie,
can do so with infinitely increased
facility with the power of drawing gold
and silver, than if it we're confined to one
OF the metals. The greater the
facility of the bank to right itself, the
less frequent will be those sudden jerks
and changes so fatal to credit and COM
merce.
Similar views we're expressed in pam
phlet issued by Lord Ashburton (of the
house Of Baring) after the crisis Of 1916.
A more general reason for the instR-
bility Of the London money market is,

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Documents of the First Fourteen Con-
crosses Found In the Senate Basement.
The former assistant librarian of the
senate, Mr.. E. T. Cressey, has made q
most important discovery among the 40
600 volumes, supposed to be useless,
which have been accumulating for years
in the basement of the senate wing Of
the capitol. After search OF months
he has found 70 volumes, hitherto sup
posed not to be in existence, which COM
prise the senate documents OF the first IS
congresses and the house documents of
the first nine. The Congressional library,
the Boston public library and the British
museum are all without these, and the
addition of them to the senate library
makes it the most valuable in the world
for references of the proceedings, debates
and documents of congress.
Almost FROM the adoption Of the con-
stitution all documents of the senate
and the house have been set aside in
small numbers for the secretary of the
senate. These were kept in bad order,
If kept at all, and were scattered In vari-
ous places. Just after the war, how
ever, they were all collected into the
senate library, which occupies d mum.
Der of almost impenetrable recesses in
the upper pert Of the senate wing and
also an equal nnmber of still more diff.
cult hooks and corners in the basement
near the heating machinery. This last
was a dry and safe place, but hardly amy.
body ever ventnred within its doors
The 10000 volumes accumulated there
were all supposed to be extra ones. Mr.
Cressev's discovery shows that they con
tain perhaps the richest single treasure
in the country.
The volumes are in good state o1
preservation, although they and many
others stacked in this unexplorel retrea
show traces of the worms. Many of tht
backs indeed are entirely gone, but thu
pages are intact, and the senate library
may now boast that it has for referenc,
complete documents of the senate ant
the house, all except those of the senat'
of the Second congress.
A few of the 10 volumes are bound il
manuscript, just as they came from th
authors, and some of them, as it is be
lieved, have never been printed. Dur
ing the first IA congresses none Of tn
documents was numbered, nor was thei
character indicated by marks. Thu
each must carefully be examined to as
certain whether it is an executive or
miscellaneous document or committe
report.

LAND CASES.
Two Important Decisions Affecting
Property Worth $1,000, 600.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.-Secretary
Smith has decided two important test
cases involving 81 zoo, 600 worth Of pine
land homesteads in the Ashland. Wis.
land district. One case is in the Omaha
limits, and the other in the Wisconsin
Central limits. In both cases the land
was given to railroads and subse-
cuently withdrawn and thrown open
for settlement In the case OF Fred
s. Newell vs.. j. j. Hussey, involving
the ownership Of the southeast quarter
of section II, township 40, range 2.
Ashland district, Newell moved for q
rehearing, which was denied. In re-
viewing the case, the secretary decides
the question whether settlers who went
on lands which had been expressly
withdrawn from settlement acquired
any shadow of right Of priority in the
negative. This means that all those
settlers who went on Omaha limits
lands before they were opened for set
Element had no more right to lle upon
them than any person who called
at the land Office on the day
OF opening. There are many cases In

as good as decided. The other case 10

point involved In this case IL the bona

being to hold the land by technical

other minor matters involved, making
