& Soft Answer.

Young Sloan was never noted
for his perfect breeding, and
though as a college student he was
sometimes a trifle the worse for a
late supper, he never forgot to be
true to his code. On one such Oc
casion, after a most determined
effort to enter a house which he
believed his own, he was met at
the door by the scantily attired
master of the mansion with in'
formation as to his whereabouts,
and the added news that the
household had a sick wife and
child upstairs VINO had been dis
turbed.
Sloan made aOject apologies,
and departed; but bis hone seem
ed to elude him, aud the same irate
householder was brought to the
door by Sloam's knock for admis
sion.
Didn't l tell you this was my
house? cried the indignant man.

we were for time practically de-
pendent on my mothers uncle, an
eccentric old gentleman, rather
fond of money, called Hodgkinson
'Maddock IS neither more nor

Gold Alone Insumcient.


From the st. Louis journal Of Agriculture.
If there werc no other objection
to the single gold standard than that
there is not enough gold to constitute
the standard money of the world, this
should be sufficient According to
statistics compiled by the government,
the worlds production of gold in 1892
was $lse, ,0O0, 900, whereas the amount
produced in 1855 was $155,0OO, 900.
The annual production from 1851 to
1898 ranged from 500, ,000, 900 to $685.
OOO. 900, making an average Of some
thing like $120, 100000 In other
words, :he increase in gold production
does not begin to keep pace with in-
crcasing population, and the demands
of commerce.
tits estimated that the worlds stock
Of gold is less than $4,000, OOO, 900,
whereas the total public and private
indebtedness Of the United States
alone, IL estimated by good authority
At &2O. 900 ,OOO, 900. But even if 1t is
only ouc-half that, there 10 not enough
oold in the world to pay half our own
debts. Yet the "financiers" want
system that will make all debts pay
able in gold.
The United States has stock ofgold

600 to 5000, 600, OOO-only enough to

one year. OF course it is all right If
we pay in gold values with labor
and labor's products; but gold being
scarce, gold values are high, which
means low prices for the products of
labor, and hard times for the labOrers.

went TO Mr.. Adams, and returning
the same way, they marched down
by Uncle Bill HammOnds', and up
the street, turning at Mr.. Bonner's
shop. From there they returned
down the street. They marched next
to the Masonic hall, all the vast
