HERBERT SPENCER.


he was astonished to hear young man,
whom he had noticed staring vacantly up
and down the street, ask him:
Where am IT,
The young man was plainly not intoxi-
Gated, and his air was one of troubled
earnestness, so the officer did not think he
was.
"Idon't know" replied the young man.
"What city am imp
When the policeman had answered ques-
tions in regard to locality, he in turn in.
terrogated the queer acting stranger, but
could gain no information. So he took
him to the police station, but no one could
shed light on the case, and the young man
was finally taken charge Of by DR. Daniel
Hughes, superintendent of the Philadel-
phia City hospital. DR.. Hughes immedi-
ately took deep interest in the case, and
for q month devoted much of his time to
an attempt to solve the mystery. To all
questions about himself the young man,
who had been given the name of George,
could make no reply. He remembered alb
solutely nothing Of his past and could not
tell what his name was or where he came
from.
George seemed to be very Intelligent,
however, and DIR. Hughes employed him
as his private secretary. All summer long
ne remained in the hospital, happy in his
employment and contented at all times ex-
cept when the subject Of his lost memory
was touched upon.
Last July an assistant physician was
engaged. He was DIR. Robinson. One day
the assistant went into DIR. Hughes office
and saw George sitting at a desk.
"Why, BertW exclaimed the young ply
sician. where did you come fromP"
George looked up without trace Of rec
ognition on his face and replied that he
was DIR. Hughes secretary.
"Why, Bert Spencer" continued DR..
Robinson, "you don't mean to say that
you don't know met"
George replied that he did not remember
ever having seen him before, and politely
refused to believe DIR. Robinson when the
latter told him that they had been chums
since they were boys together
DIR. Robinson told DR.. Hughes that the
supposed George was Herbert Spencer,
whose home was in Lawrence, Kan, and
that two years ago he had been pharma.
ceutical student at the state university In
that city. Spencer had disappeared, il
find any trace Of him since.
Spencer was persuaded to return to Law
renee, and his brother came on to accom-
pany him back. Herbert had to be intro

was ended, although his brother could not
arouse any recollection in his mind Of theil

MONEY GETS EASIER.
Bankers Put Out Enough to Accommo-
date Legitimate borrowers.

Bankers Put Out Enough to Accommo-
date Legitimate borrowers.
New YORK, Oct. 81.-The prevailing
monetary conditions were again the
dominating influence in the stock mar
ket. The rank and file of the traders,
figuring upon even more stringent rates
for call than had ruled the day before,
were prepared to see decline in stocks.
The actual movement. however, was
aggressively strong, the course of prices
being governed by the early intelligence
received by powerful speculative inter
ests that q combined effort should be
made by the banks to prevent rates
rising to a point likely to precipitate
disaster.
London prices for American securities
came higher, and to this favorable de-
velopment were soon added the inspirit-
ing semi official news that number OF
the leading banks and trust companies
had pooled their surplus reserve re-
sources, variously estimated at from
$15, ,000,000 to $20, 100000, and would
| put out as much money as might bt
needed by legitimate borrowers, though
| at rates not low enough to encourage
boarding. The extreme fluctuations in
call funds ranged from go per cent sooI
after the opening to 9 per cent at the
close. In addition, the bank syndicate
or pool loaned money for three days
transactions at 100 per cent, equal II
SO per cent.

Washington. February lat is not
unlikely that each State will have its
separate postage stamps. And that,
upon receipt of a letter you can tell
as far as you can see it, where it comes
from.
A bill has been introduced by SEN
ator Pugh asking that each State shall
have the privilege os issuing its own
stamp. The Governor of the State or
the postmaster. or the vote of the
people shall determine the nature Of
the stamp. The design shall then be
sent to the Postmaster-General, who,
upon approval shall pass it along to
the President of designated officials,
who shall return it to the State with
written consent
The stamps viii then be issued by the
post Office Of the State that has just
selected its private postage stamp, and
the burden of the expense shall fall
upon the taxpayers OF the State and not
upon the whole United States. The red
tape is TO avoid the possibility of any
firm advertising through the United
States postage.

HEARD IN THE PRoOF-ROoM.

How Poetry, Prose and Advertisements
Sound When the Copy-Holder is r.
citing Them.
If one of our modern graduate elocu-
tionists could hear copy-holder read
ing aloud in the proof-room Of a daily
newspaper, it would be very apt to
drive the elocutionist to drink. For
the benefit of those who have never
heard this class of reading, an imita-
ton thereof in type may be Of pass
ing interest.
In the first place, be it understood, a
cOpy-holder is a pro0f-reader's assist
ant. and it is his Tor her) business 10
read aloud the copy, including punctu-
alton. spelling of names, ETC., so that
the proofreader may have a correct I'M
derstanding of just what the copy is,
without bothering to look and see for
himself.
This is about the way it sounds when
the copy-reader starts in: The
G-r-a-m-m-e Machine-three up-E
type-period. In the diagram before
you a b-two small caps-is a ring Of
soft n-comma-with its ends con-

Perhaps the next bit of copy is a
news item, and we hear: Accident in

veyed to G-T-o-s-v-e-n-O-T hospital

Possibly a little poetic gem may be
the next thing on the proof, and this
is how it sounds:
Miss P-e-g-g-y-pos-s Bonnet-three

Next an advertisement appears; and
as this is more important than poetry
or news. the copy-reader's pace slack
