a Small Kindness,

Many years ago when sewing ma
chimes were i'll their infancy, if indeed
they had been invented, little elder
ly bachelor entered the parlor of his
boarding house and in way peculiar
to himself made this request:
(Which of you ladies will hem a
couple of handkerchiefs for me?"
There was well bred sniff of dis
approval but not ono asserting voice.
The only one that broke the silence
recommended him to take the hand
kerchiefs to seamstress who attend
ed to such work.
ats pretty lonesome to have no
women folk belonging to you," said
the OLD bachelor, "but l guess 1 can
get along. Thank you, ladies, for
your kindness" and he bowed him
self out.
At the same moment a timid hand
detained him, and a low voice said
in his ear:
"Leave them with me. II will see
that they are hemmed neatly. have
friend who will do them-for com
pany."
"Take Them said the old bachelor
Gruffly; "much obliged. I'm sure"
She was gentle woman, although
she sewed for a living, as all women
did in that day who did not teach
school.
She replied not to Tie jecrs of her
companions w!cn she sat in the par
lor as her work, except to say that it
was small thing to do for a fellow
being.
"But he is miser." they persisted.
Nevertheless the handkerchiefs we're
hemmed and returned to the owner,
who did not offer to pay for them, but
did within the year marry the gentle
soul who hemmed them.
The thereafter Of their married life
reads like fairy story. Both have
passed away from the prosperity which
surrounded them, but in the heart of
the city of Boston there is marble
block that was built with the accu-
mulated interest of the fortune be-
queathed to their son, who is no other
than Montgomery Sears, the million.
aire. This story, unlike most stories
is true.

had traversed Prussia in its whole eX.
tent, in the first six months of 1872,
and that more than One-half Of this
immense force had been quartered for
above three months in its unhappy
provinces. By the convention of Feb
ruary "a, 1912, the furnishings made
for its support were to be taken in
part payment of the arrears, still
amounting to nearly 100 millions of
francs, which remained unpaid, of the
great military contribution of GAO mil
lions levied on Prussia after the battle
of Jena. But though the French au-
thOrities with merciless rapacity, en-
forced the new acquisitions, they never
could be brought to state them, in
terms Of the treaty, as a deduction
from the old ones. The French hosts,
like cloud of locusts, passed over the
country, deVouring its subsistence,
plundering its inhsbitsnts,and wrench
ing from them, by the terrOrs of mill
tary execution, the whole cattle,
horses and carriages in their posses
sion. The number of horses carried
off, before September in the single
year of 1912, in East Prussia alone,
amounted to 22,7OO, while that of the
cattle was 10000, and that of the
carts seized was 13,349. The weekly
cost Of Junot's corps of 10000 men,
uusrtered in lower Silesis, was 100000
crowns, or $4,000 (Sterling) and that
of all the rest of the army in the same
proportion. These enormous contri-
buttons were exclusive of the furnish
ings stipulated to be provided by the
states, by the treaty of February "a,
1912, which were also rigidly exacted;
and of the arrears of the great contri-
button of 1906, the collection of which
had become, by the total exhaustion
of the country, altogether hopeless" "
ALLISON, vol. XI, p. 224.)
The arrears above mentioned, which
were rigldly exacted; are given in
Count de Segur's expedition to Russia,
as follows:
"Two hundred thousand quintals of
rye, ZOO of rice, 2 million bottles of
beer, 100000 quintsls of wheat, $4,000
of straw, $4,000 of hay, million
bushels of oats, 10000 oxen, $1,000
horses, $500 wagons, with harness and
drivers, each capable of carrying a
load of 1900 pounds weight; and,
finally, hospitals provided with every
thing necessary for 10000 sick" (Vol.
I,p.22.) IA quintsl is 112 pounds
That is the way the "honest money
man collected arrearages of taxes from
an exhausted people, when there was
no money in the country. 1t will be
remembered that Napoleon got his
foothold in Prussia by protesting to
be republican, and proclaiming "Wsr
on the palace but peace to the cottage"
This hypocrisy divided the people and
gave him easy victories, At a later
date, when his treason to liberty be-
came manifest, it was too late for the
people to help themselves. At the
time of the above deVsststions and ex.
actions Prussia was. an ally of France
and furnished her quota of men in the
grand army, for the invasion of
Russia.

1t didn't take Adam Smith or Hume to
teach me the effects of a small or con-

the other hand, wherever money is
scarce, times are, hard, prices low and
labor unemployed and tramping the

Third-As to the supply of the paper
currency, for all seem to agree that all
the gold and silver we can have will
not be adequate to do the business of

arises: Shall the government, as rep

currency for the common benefit of all,
or shall it confer the privilege of fur
it upon a favored few at a
greater or less cost to the people and
the certain benefit of those so favored
