The "BaItimore PLAN of Currency Re-

form.
A. H. Hepburn, in the December Forum
The Baltimore plan proposes to amend
the national bank act so as no longer to
require government bonds as security for
circulation, but provide a safety-fund in
stead; to allow banks to issue circulation
to 80 per cent of their paid-up, unimpaired
capital, and, in an emergency, IS per cent.
All notes of failed banks are to be redeemed
by the government, as under the present
law A guarantee, or safetY-fund, equal
to 3 per cent of the outstanding circulation,
is to be accumulated and maintained by
gradual taxation upon such circulation.
From this fund the government is to re-
deem notes of failed banks. The govern
ment also retains a prior lien upon the
assets of failed banks, including stOckhold-
ers' liability, as now provided by law, in
order to replenish this safety-fund and pro-
tect itself against possible loss. Practi-
cally, the only change is to substitute a
guarantee-fund for government bonds as
security, the other changes being incidental.
The details are open to discussion and i'm
provement, but l believe the principles to
be right.
Just such law as the one proposed by
the Baltimore bankers is now in successful
operation in the Dominion of Canada, ex-
cept that the Canadian law allows circula-
tion to the par of unimpaired capital, and
the government assumes no responsibility
for the redemption of failed banks notes
beyond the application of the per cent
fund The law has proved eminently sue
cessful and satisfactory in Canada. In the
light of these facts no one can dispute the
safety of the plan.

The Averted Tragedy:
or, The American Folding BED.

CHAPTER l.
Eugene McFadden had been up an hour
or more, but she had not yet left her bed
room. She sat on the edge of her folding
bed reading letter which her maid had
just brought to her. A cold smile played
upon her lips as she finished reading the
mssiye. ut is frank proposal, 'she said
to herself; al do not love him, but he is an
English lord, and will accept him."
CHAPTER II.
"a gentleman to see you, miss" said
the servant, entering and handing our her
oine card. The beautiful girl looked at
it and said, as a dsdainful smile curled her
lip:
"a furniture clerk whom l met at the
beach last summer. | am not at home"

clerk of the furniture firm of Ash d Cher

John Jones paused.
The door was again opened, and the serv-
ant reappeared with horror bleached face.
MY MISTRESS she gasped.

turning pale.
'She is folded up in the folding bed"
John Jones dashed upstairs, four steps
at a time.
CHAPTER V.
John Jones, as we have said, was a fur
niture clerk. He knew the secret mechan-
ism of the folding bed. One touch of his
finger brought the bed back to its former
position. a

in his arms.
"And by you," she sobbe3, as she hid
her face on his bosom.

Three weeks later Eugene McFadden,

furniture clerk.

lord embarked for Europe, and the last
words he was heard to utter as he left our
shore, were:

An old miser named Bloomgarten of
Norton, Kan, finished the job of starving
himself to death recently. He would buy
nothing to eat save crackers and cheese,
and ate as little of that as he possibly could
and live. When the hard times came on
he reduced his allowance and starved to
death. He left $4,000 in solid cash.
A boy II years old, living in Ansonia,
Conn, met death in a singular way re-
Gently. AS he was coming down stairs he
slipped, and to save himself from falling,
seized a skylight rope that hung over the
stairway. The skylight closed suddenly,
drawing the rope up quickly, and it became
entangled around the boys neck. He was
snapped off his feet as quickly as if by a
gallows drop, and his neck broken.

An amusing incident occurred at the
close of sam Jones's sermon at Pulaski the
other day. Stepping down from the pull
pit, folding his hands across his breast and
looking solemnly over the audience, the
great reyiyalst said: 81 want all the
women in this crowd who have not spoken
harsh word or harbored an unkind
thought toward their husbands for a month
past to stand up one old woman appar-
emily on the shady side of 80 stood up
Come forward and give me your hand, ="
said the preacher. The woman did so.
whereupon Jones said: "Now, turn around
and let this audience see the best looking
woman in the country" After taking her
seat, the revivalist addressed the men
Now, | want all the men in this crowd
who have not spoken harsh word or har-
bored an unknd thought toward their
wives for month past to stand up"
Twenty-seven great, big, strapping fellows
hoped out of the audience with all the
alacrily of champagne coIks. Come for
ward and give me your hands, my dear
boys Jones gave each one a vigorous
shake, after which he ranged all of them
side by side in front of the pulpit, and fac
ing the audience. He looked them over
carefully and solemnly, and then, turning
around TO the audience, he said 81 want
you all to take good look at the ~ big
gest liars in the state of Tennessee. -

The Custom of "Treating.,,

There is pending in the Massachusetts
legislature bill that is intended to do
away vita a custom that is the source of
a great deal oG evil. The custom referred
to is that of treating" to 1.-the drinks. :"
Thoughtful people commend the bill, the
thoughtless ridicule it.
Much of the drunkenness that is so
prevalent in the land comes from the Gus
tom of treating 1t leads men to drink
more than they want and more than they
can with safety
A man enters a saloon for a drink and
finds a friend there. At once, owing to
the custom of treating" he feels an OBJ
legation to ask his friend to drink with
him, or his friend asks him to join him in
taking a drink. The invitation is almost
invariably accepted. The man who &C
cepts the invitation doesn't like to be I'M
der an obligation. Therefore he suggests
they have another drink, and the sugges-
ton meets with favor In the meantime
one or more other friends may appear upon
the scene, and custom requires that they
shall be invited to accept drinks" The
treating is kept up until each one has
taken three or four or perhaps a half
dozen drinks" The man who enters the
saloon for one drink leaves 1t after having
spent much more money than he intended
TO and perhaps more than he could afford,
and with an amount of liquor in his sys-
TEN that units him, to great extent, for
business.
The treating custom is an imperious
one. The man who does not treat" TO
the drinks is apt to be thought mean.
and the man who refuses to accept a
treat" is liable to give oifense.
If treating were prohibited drunken
ness would decline and even moderate
drinkers would consume much less liquor.
A man then could feel free to buy a drink
when he felt like taking one, and would
not be in constant danger of getting a
jag on.
The Mass achusetts bill is a good one.
! 1t ought to be passed, and a similar bill
| ought to be passed in every other state.
