Government Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term of years, and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is deposit of
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business.
The profits on circulation decline as the
bonds increase in value or the rate of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and ineffective. The
dangers of the government currency
and the deficiencies of the bank curren-
cy are now pretty well recognized, and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands of business men for a
complete and permanent cure.-Iron

Scarcely anyone could he surprised
Mt the result Of the examination of the
firms books, after her mother had adj.
Dlitted that the girl had lived on scale
that her salary could not possibly Jus.

the girl had suffered serious losses In
wildcat speculation. A complete chain
OF circumstantlal evidence had been
forged. 1t shows TINT Alice Barrett
was extravagnnt In her expenditures.
TINT she gambled In stocks. that she
took her employers money In order to
keep up this speculation, that she set
fire to the books In order to conceal the
defalcatiOn, and perhaps with the In.
tention Of destroying the building In or.

duties Of housewife. In one Of her
letters she said she preferred to sip her

thought she was denied opportunity

where or somehow she had heard Of
the wonderful things done In the buck
ct shops. Here, she thought, was n
quick road to wealth. Lot wealth for Its
own sake. but for the sake of the op-
portunities 1t would give her. She lost,
and to cover this made false entries In
the books.
1t appears that Miss Barrett had
been pursuing this dangerous course
for about a year, when the awful day
of reckoning came. The books, upon
examination, show very clearly when
she began to appropriate her employ
er's money, and the clerks recOllect the
fact that about the same time there
was a marked change In the personal
appearance OF Miss Barrett. Her man-
.,er of dressing became more elaborate,
her clothing was Of the richest ma
terial and expensive jewelry figured In
her adornments. These things We're &C.
counted for by the young lady to the
satisfaction of her mother, but In order
to explain these things the favOrlte
child Of her mother had to resort to
further deception.
The first venture In speculation had
proved q failure, but, added to her de-
sire for hncry, the fever Of speculation
had taken possession OF her. She es.
sayed second venture and went into tho
mire deeper and deeper. Each succeed
Ing loss seemed but to make her the
more determined, for she hoped that
success would yet come to her.
Miss Barrett's position In the ONCE Of
Goldman & Goldman made It possible
for her to carry on this work with little
fear Of detection. 1t Is not believed
that Miss Barrett intended to steal out
and out her employers money, but that
she was merely using 1t as means to
an end. She hoped to succeed and make
good what she had taken.
