A LESSON IN FINANCE.

The ease with which the banks
house have met the present financial
Stringency, as they have met others
finance that ought to instruct the
people everywhere. Warned by the
ated a sudden and enormous demand
for ready currency, they have again
authorized the issue of clearing house
certificates. This has done as much
as anything else to compose the pub.
lie mind, and to do away with all
possibility of a financial panic. These
clearing house certificates are moth
ing but an issue of notes against the
credit of the allied banks of the city.
They are good and answer all the
purposes of cash in the settlement OF
clearing house balances, because the
credit that stands behind them is
of a credit money that the coun-
try has seen. Though not entering
into general circulation, but passed
to and fro between the banks only
they do away with the necessity for
transactions, and make the banks
fairly impregnable against any de-
mand that may be made upon them.
The service which they perform, and
the ease and satisfaction with which
they do it. show the enormous value
and the wide possibility of an unim-
paired credit. They show, also, that
a bank currency, which these GER
tificates constitute as far as their
limited use extends, has some ideal
features. They will be issued and re-
tired according to the needs of the
situation. They will be ready on de-
mand by tens of millions whenever
business calls for them. They will not
remain outstanding as a permanent
addition to the circulating medium
when the emergency has passed, but
will be retired forthwith.
OF such a character should be the
paper money which the people use,
as we'll as that which is at the serv-
ice of the banks. Again and again,
in times of financial stress, the sys-
tenn of clearing house certificates has
been applied to the relief of the banks,
until it is perfectly understood and
appreciated by both banks and peo-
pie. Here is a model after which we
might we'll construct national cur
rency, open to none of the objections
that lie against the treasury note,
and answering perfectly the needs
of commerce and finance, which are
increased and denied, rather than
satisfied, by the evil currency sys-
tenn now in force. Congress appears
to be not yet ready to act nationally
and patriotically on the money ques-
ton We may hope, however, that the
model of credit circulating medium
which is furnished by clearing house
certificates will eventually compel
the attention of the people, and per-
suade them to adopt it in their own
affair

THE ART OF GIVING.

The fact that Christmas shopping
is likely to leave the purchaser for the
time being a physical wreck is gem
orally understood-it has permeated
even to the brain of the humOristS-
but the condition of heart and mind
into which the Christmas shopper
not infrequently falls. though a more
important phenomenon, has attract
ed less attention. 1t is sadly true
that unless one is getting gifts for
children, which is an always blessed
and satisfactory occupation, there is
likely to come reaction to the Christ
mas enthusiasm of the average giver;
a time when he wearies of the at
tempt to buy S. presents for Sl.50,
asks himself what it is all for, and
whether it is worth While, and darkly
inclines to think that it is as great
waste of money as paying taxes; and
that if he had laid out the tCtal
amount of his expenditure in purcha5-
ing some one needed article for him
self, and all his friends had done the
same, the result would have been hap
pier all around. Or else he signs inn
patiently and wishes that, if one must
make gifts, the matter could be re
duced to AN exact science and stand
on the same footing as other business
transactions.
This pessimistic reaction against
the holiday spirit has probably as
sailed every giver of gifts in his or
her day. In excuse it may be said
that sometimes it is born of an eX-
haustion of body which impoverishes
the soul, but i'm any case it is frame
of mind to be combatted. The beauty
of giving lies in the fact that it can
never be reduced to a science. 1t is,
and must remain an art; and the giver
must of necessity share the doloT
involved in that fact. To find the
results beautiful is the part of the on
locker; the chief share of the artist
in his work is discomfort and a sense
of failure In this reflection the dis
comfited giver may find some con-
ISOLATION, but there is still more to be
had in the familiar thought-sOme
times lost sight of, unhappily-that
gifts do not exist in and for them
selves, but merely as counters, repre-
senting human good will. The signs
may be poor and ineffective, but the
reality behind them is thing so
beautiful that it can gild even
thoughtless, Inadequate or reluctant
giving with some of its own glory.
Therefore, in whatever state of
body and mind Christmas morning
may find us, let us tolerate no such
insidious heresy against the doctrine
of Christmas time as to doubt wheth-
en- our small efforts to bestow pleas
ure upon our fellows have been worth
while. Let us rejoice in gifts given
and received, in charities done and
accepted; for, insignificant as they
may seem, they still are part of our
individual share in promoting peace
on earth and good will toward men.

DIslNHERITs THE SON
Tacoma Man Marries a Woman
Who Passed as His Fathers
Wife.

TACOMA, Wash, July G.-Henry
Veazie, aged o, has married his STEP
mother, aged 46. and his father, Will
lam H. Veazie, a prominent and
wealthy mill man and logger, has dis
inherited him.
For u years the elder Veazie has
lived here with Mrs. Veazie as his wife.
Two years ago he informed her that
she was not legally married to him, be-
cause the man who performed the cere-
mony was not legally permitted too.
However, a few months ago he and
Mrs. Veazie signed deeds Of all bis pro-
perty to his SOL Henry. This was
done, it is said, because of his credi-
tors in Minnesota and Wisconsin hav-
ing learned that he had made q for
tune in the west, we're preparing to
collect large sums due them. Ever
since Veazie told the woman he had
acknowledged as his wife that she was
not his wife Henry and his grown-up
sister, Grace, sympathized with her,
and about a year ago Henry found
that his sympthy had developed into
love. The elder Veazie now declares
that he was aware of his sons SYM
patty and affection for the woman
who passed in society as his mother,
but it appears that he did not in fact
realize until yesterday the deep devo-
ton of the son for the stepmother.
Mrs. Veazie is a st. Paul brunette,
who 20 years ago married a man
named Kennedy. He turned out to be
q worthless gambler, and she secured
a divorce, and resumed her maiden
name, Hattie Klingensmith. She has
a grown up ION here. Besides she has
three bright children of Veazie. Veazie
woman who is now reported to be an
ester, MINI. Saturday he returned
find that Hattie Klingensmith, who
really thought she was Mrs. William
III. Veazie, had married his son Henry.
He ordered them out of his house,
but did not disturb Miss Klingen-
smiths mother. who has been living
with the Venzie's for a long time. He
declared that he would disinherit
Henry, but Henry, from his suite of
rooms q few blocks away laughs at his
father. He knows that, inasmuch as
his father had Hattie sign the deeds
as his wife, that they are binding in
law, and that the Veazie estate, val
ued at $4,000, can never be wrenched
from him. He says he wanted to do
all he could to right the wrong done
Miss Killengmith by his father. The
marriage and exposure of the past
history of all concerned has created q
sensation in society circles.
