the nlttcriDg OF ignorance. But true or un-
true. the doctrine OF Ricardo is now so
universally admitted that no economist of
reputation has recently attacked it as q
theory.
Some writers who admit the theory have
sought to belittle the Importance of rent
as a factor of distribution. In this attempt
attention has been directed almost exciu-
sively to agricultural land, the rent, and
consequently the selling price OF which
often falls for time, as it has in parts of
this country, owing chiefly to the fact
that agriculture is permitted to extend

THE DEAL DIDN'T GO rRRoUaH
But the Man with the Red Nose Was
willing.


A man with a red nose which looked
chronic and had the air of being legiti-
mately acquired, according to the
Louisville Times" called at the office
of big insurance company, and, ad-
dressing the first official he happened
to meet, said:
"sir, I am insured for $1,000 in your
company"
"Well?''
''The policy, strange to say, is made
out in the name of my wife. She has
possession Of it."
Not strange at all, but eminently
proper" said the official.
And if could get hold of the policy
I would hook it," continued the man
with the red nose, but she keeps it
hid. I am here, however, for the pur-
pose of making a proposition to you.
and the whereabouts of the policy is
neither here nor there. Are you open
to a deal"
I'VE are" answered the official coldly.
We'll, here is my plan. Since can
not raise anything on that policy, 1
spring upon you the following situation:
Before nightfall 1 shall be a dead man
and you'll have to pay up that $4,000"
How do you make that out?" de-
manded the official in tones of surprise.
Simply because / cannot get a
drink" replied the policy-holder. 'If
whisky IS not forthcoming I perish. I
simply lie down and stiffen out and you
lose your money. A quarter of dollar
however, viii save my life and save you
5000 bones. Twenty-Five cents fixes me
and 1 live. Without it I breathe my
last and prove dead loss to you. If /
survive, however, my wife will go on
paying premiums and who knows but
what l may become a centenarian?"
He looked anxiously at the official,
but the latter seemed to be frozen solid
DO I get the quarter?" he demanded,
after a pause.
You do not" was the reply in icy
tones.
Very WELL" and he sighed heavily,
that settles it. Make out your death
claims and things. Fill up the check
payable to the order of my weeping
widow. Charge me to profit and loss. y

ENOR NOUS TREASURE SAFE.
The Greatest Money Vault Ever Yet
Set Up.
Burglar Proof and Mob Proof, and Big
Enough to Hold 21s Tons of Gold,
or sIO9, 200, 900.

The great strong-room for the New
York Clearing House, which is now be-
ing set up. will be, when completed, the
heaviest and strongest safe in this
country, and the best if not the biggest
in the world. It is capable of holding
218 tons Of gold, or $109, 900, 900 in coin.
Though it is not likely ever to hold
this amount it will always contain vast
sums Of money. The New York Clear
ing House Association gave orders to
have the best safe which money and
skill could furnish, and the steel vault
which has been built is for all practical
purposes absolutely impregnable.
Down in the basement Of the Clear
ng-House, in Cedar street, workmen
are busy fitting together the plates
which make the sides of the great
strong-box and putting the huge doors
in place Just now the big cellar is a
chaotic mass of iron plates, bars and
bolts for the strong-room. 1t has al
ready been put together at the factory
of the manufacturers, and was taken to
pieces again in order TO get it into the
basement of the Clearing House.
When set up the great steel room
weighs $50 tons, exclusive of the heavy
iron grills which will surround it. The
safe rests upon platform Of steel rail-
road rails, which, in turn, rest on brick
pillars. It is possible to walk around
and under the SAFE which is supported
by the pillars in midair. This prevents
any undermining and burrowing into
the safe from its under side, while it al
lows at the same time the flooding of the
foundations with water if necessary.
The steel rails are of the ordinary ''T''
pattern, each rail being bent over and
interlocked with its neighbor A steel
band runs around the edge of the plat
form and binds the rails tightly to-
gether. Upon this solid foundation
rests the ponderous steel room. It's
walls-top, bottom and sides-are 612
inches in thickness. The safe is of the
same size as the platform-24 feet 3115
inches wide, 16 feet 8 inches deep and
II feet 6 inches high. The walls are
built of ten thicknesses of plate.
These plates vary in thickness from
72 to IL inches, the thickest being to
the outside. Each plate is bolted to its
neighbor by heavy screws. and the
