AN UNUSUAL CASE.

Ths Business Public OF London Surprised
80 Lsarn Of . Rich MANS IIiteracy.
The longer we live the less easily are
we surprised sc anything that happens.
It win scarcely be believed, though, that
one of the wealthiest and most prosper
ous Of the London tradesmen Of today
can neither read nor write, and that his
wife Is equally as uneducated as he Isl
A short time ago q letter reached him at
his private residence In the country, and
as he observed that some figures repre-
senting . sarge sum OF money occurred
among p.e writing he had the docu-
ment deciphered. II then appeared
that 1t was . letter from another trades
man complaining that his account, d
very large one, had NOT been paid, not
withstanding that repeated requests for
payment had been sent to the business
house in town. Until then he had no
suspicion that his firm owed even d
farthing.
He has placed the matter in the hands
OF solicitors, and already liz has been dis
covered that he has lost oyer O,OOOb by
the alleged misrepresentation or money
intended TO be used for purposes con-
nected with the business. As he Is i'm
menssly wealthy, and as his business il
in q very hourishing condition, even %
great D loss will not materially affect
him. Nevertheless it is 8 curious cir
cumstance that at this date in the nine
teenth century Q man has succeeded in
building up > vast business and has &C
cnmulated q large fortune In the center
Of London without either he or his wife
being able to read or write.-London

If you have been renting a

and think how much you have

If you are renting a farm figure

this rental would buy a farm here.

in South Dakota. Stop renting

The "Social Economist" for August opens with statesmanlike and pro- found review of the currency question. It shows that MT. Walkers bill to re- tire the greenback currency and sub- stitute certain other forms of paper money in its stead needs to be made more radical, so that the paper currency shall be issued by the banks only and redeemed in coin. It then proposes such a plan for the issue of notes by banks only, and for their daily redemption in coin at central agency. which is to be either federal bank, a national association of all the banks, or bank note clearing house. It then proposes a plan for having the banks issue and redeem silver coin as a sec ondary coin in aid of gold, receiving small commission on their issue, and each bank redeeming all the silver coin it issues, in gold at parw when presented in sums of five dollars. The silver coins are to contain weight of five grains less than would make their bull ion value equal to their coiu value. As fast as they became worth more than
 their coin value, they would of course
 be melted for this additional value,
 and the banks issuing them would thus
 be relieved of the necessity of redeem ing such as through rise in value would be melted. Thus bankers, wage-earn- CTS, retailers and jewellers would be in- terested in circulating silver, and both money metals would be fully utilized.

Brace inc Nerves,


 Sedatives and opIates won't do it.. These nervines do not make the nerves strong, and failing to do this fall short of producing the essential of their qui- etudc- vigor. And while in extreme cases-and these only--of nervous irri- tation such drugs may be advisable, their frequent use is highly prejudicial to the delicate organism upon which they act, and in order to renew their quieting effect increased and danger ons doses eventually become necessary. Hostetter's Stomacli Bittcrs is an eff cient substitute for such pernicious drugs. It yuiets the norves by lEacing, toning strengthening them. The con. nection between weakness of the nerv. ous system and that of the organs oi digestion is strong and sympathetic link. The bitters, by imparting g healthful impulse to the digestive and assimilating functions, and promotes throughout the whole system vigor il which the nerves come in for q large share. Use the bitters in malaria, con ] situation, bilious and kidney trouble.
