The Stag and the Lion.

A stag saw his shadow reflected in the
ater, and greatly admired the size of bis
horns, but felt angry with himself for hav-
ing such weak feet. While he was thus COM
tcmplating himself lion, which had es-
capped from circus, appeared OF the pool.
The stag got a hurry-up on himself and
kept with ease at q safe distance from the
lion, until he entered wood where his
horns became entangied. The lion came
quickly upon him, and, after remarkiHg
that beef was very high and that he really
preferred venison anyway, began TO eat o
light lunch off the stag's shoulder. when
it was too late the stag reprOached him.
SELF: ''Woe is me, These feet, which
desrised. would have saved me; but j was
stuck on my antlers, " hioh are now up
tree"
Moral-Too many horns always get a
man into trouble-except on Sunday, when
it is really an effort to get even a little
horn.-TFu tn.

took an elevator. Her husband saw
her from across the street and hurry

went to the Office where he knew his

had stepped in and out again and went
down in the next elevator.
In the meantime his wife had gone
down. and the elevator dispatcher said

The More We Borrow the Faster Gold vi
How Awny-A Remedy.

Tl1e More We Borrow the Faster Gold WIN
How Awny-A Remedy.
After paying into the treasury over
81, GOO. 600 in gold ia exchange for
ssgreenbacks," and thus replenis hing
the gold reserve depleted by gold exc
ports, the bond syndicate. in the face
of increasing gold exports. held aloof
and the reserve fell below the trsdi-
tional 500. 600. 600.
The expensive folly of endeavoring
to hold our gold is becoming more and
more apparent, yet rumors of another
bond Issue are becoming more and
more definite. The effect of borrow
ing gold is to make local imitation
and rise of prices. resulting in in
creased imports, return of our securi-
ties held abroad. and consequent in
crease of gold exports The more we
borrow the faster gold will flow away.
We can hold on to our gold and stop
the drain on the gold in the treasury
only in two ways: First, following
the advice of Mr.. Cleveland, withdraw
ing the 'sgreenbacks'' and treasury
notes this can only be done by adding
to our interest-bearing debit, and thus
contracting the currency and depress-
ing prices, exports of merchandise
would be accelerated and imports
checked, the balance of trade would
turn much in our favor and barring
the sale, by foreigners, of our securi-
ties, gold exports would be checked.
But with the falling off in imports our
revenue would be much increased,
facts which Mr.. Cleveland seems to
overlook, and the national government
as well as the people would be bank
rupted.
Or, second, instead of contracting our
currency and depressing prices we can
broaden the basis on which our paper
rests by restoring silver to its place as
money and thus raise prices. Prices of
agricultural products having been UNI
duly depressed, would be the first to
recover, and being placed on an equal
plane with our silver competitors, who,
now unduly favored by the premium on
gold, are driving us out of the Euro
pean markets, we would receive fair
prices for our exports, which would
rise in price faster than our imports.
The balance of trade thus turned
greatly in our favor and prosperity re-
stored, there would be no demand for
gold for export. Gold could then be
employed more probably in the United
States than elsewhere, and foreign
investors would have no incentive to
dispose of their securities. Placing
silver side by side with gold is the only
practicable way to maintain specie
payments. -Philadelphia American.
