Keep YOUR heart from foolish fears;
Keen your lips from dull complaining.

New York Oct. There has been
some talk in banking circles of the
possibility Of the treasury department
issuing gold certificates, now that gold
is piling up in the vaults and currency
IL decreasing. This discussion is chief
~ due TO a dispatch received in Wall
street 70 the effect that recently there
has boea Aome Informal discussion
among the treasury ohhcials on the
subject Of the deslrabllity Of this
course. Continuing. the dispatch says
that Secretary Gage Is confronted BY a
decision made by Secretary Carlisle
when the treasury gold fell below
500. 900 900 that the reserve having
once fallen below the amount mention
ed. gold certificates could not be Is
sued again. even II the reserve went
above 800. 900. 900. unless the Issue was
specifically authorised BY congress.
President Cannon. Of the Chase Ma
tionl hank. Aaid that made the issue
OF gold notes needful. but thought the
issuance Of such certificates was entire
ly within the province Of Secretary
Gage.
Vice President Hepburn Of the Ma
tional City bank said:
Il believe that legally the Issuing OF
gold certificates Is entirely within the
option OF Secretary Gage There Is
no question that the treasury needs
currency. n the present conditions
continue and there are further gold linz
ports. a.. In my opinion. there are

THE situation regarding the curren-
cy might be relieved by the issuing OF

which have not the facilities for hold

certificates for that purpose and put
into circulation the currency which
they now hold. This. Il seems 10 me.
would relieve the situation a. TO cur
Toncy."
Cashier Mailman Of the aubtreasury,
thought II altogether likely that the
subject may have been discussed. lie
said further that there seemed TO be an
erroneous idea In some quarters that
there was now an inconvenient short

not the case and he added that any ac-

When Doctors Disagree. ;

Some time ago, says a man who
always tries to heed good advice,
Il stopped eating hearty dinners on
the advice of an eminent physician.
who said that hearty dinner tend
ed to shorten life. Not long after
ward saw that another physician.
equally eminent, said it was simply
suicidal to eat heavy luncheon,
and so l made an apple or a cracker
serve me for luncheon. 1t was pretty
tough to get up from luncheon and
dinner in famished condition, but
l consoled myself with the thought
that l was frightening my life,
and besides l could eat a hearty
breakfast. But the other day saw
that still another eminent physician
says that no one who wants to live
long should eat any breakfast, and
/ am puzzled to know what to do.
These men are experts and presum-
ably know what they are talking
about, but if / adopt their direc-
tons for the attainment of a long
life it looks as if 1 might die of
starvation in less than month";"

Bank RObberies.

After adopting what are supposed
to be all of the latest improvements
in safety appliances, employing
watchmen, guards and full corps
of officials and subordinates, pre-
sumably with the idea of safety,
bank robberies seem to continue
just the same as before, and the
criminals escape with the utmost
ease, and all efforts to capture them
seem unavailable.
Bank and other robberies are not
committed unless the perpetrators
thereof have reason to suppose that
there is a lack Of vigilance on the
part of those in charge of the bust
ness. 1t is an interesting fact that
some of the banks have been robbed
while the officers were in session in
PRESIDENT room, which is usually
private apartment shut off from
the main counting room by thick
partitions or heavy draperies, or
both. The private and confidential
business OF great house is not to
be overheard, and therefore this
shut off condition of the apartments
occupied by the officials. An i'm
provement on this plan would be to
arrange a gallery overlooking the
counting room, and in this station
force of clerks, a certain number
OF whom were to be on duty during
business hours. Each one should be
connected with an alarm and with
outer doors that would close at a
touch and fasten automatically.
1t would seem to outsiders that a
few simple precautions might pre-
vent these robberies. Of course it is
the habit of feeling secure that
causes carelessness. Everything has
been all right and too much is tax
en- for granted. After robbery ev-.
erybody is for awhile ON the alert,
but at this time there is really very
little danger of attack. 1t is after
the excitement has died out that the
danger begins. New York Ledger.
