A BUSINESS VENTURE.


A sign hanging above a little shop
told the world of Hayside that MISC
Jane Dody, milliner, had started in
business.
Until this sign appeared Haysiders
had been obliged to drive to Nesburg
or send to the city for their millinery
and having formed the habit it was a
question whether they would break 1t
and patronize the new establishment.
Miss Jane did not know many towl
people. for she had lived in the cottn
Try with an old aunt, who had lately
died, leaving her legacy Of $500. 1t
vas small capital. but being entirely
dependent on her own exertions Miss
Jane decided to start millinery shop.
she was old enough to decide for her
self, being almost 40, but she was a
timid woman and thought 1t better to
ask Mr.. Hopes advice first. Mr..
Hope was president of the bank. an old
friend of her aunt's and much admired
md respected by herself. He was just
entering his seventies, but many a
man OF so enyied his vitality and
youthfulness of feeling. He was a
widower and lived alone in the great
house" of the village, where he dis
pensed hospitality and charity with
IN opeu hand. Rich. influential and
busy. he yet had time to listen to any
tale of distress or give advice when
equested, Mr.. Hope had always liked
little Miss Jane and was more than
willing to listen to her plans and help
aer all he could. She was shown into
ais private office at the bank. blushing
like one OF the roses she held in her
hands and making quite pretty pic
lure.
II have $500, you know. Mr.. Hope.
Would you advise me tc start a millin-
cry shop with 1t or save IT and go to
the city to get employment she
asked.
Mr.. Hope knew how difficult 1t would
be for woman like Miss Jane. un-
.rained and timid, to get work in the
,ity. and quickly told her 1t would be
best to try the shop and he was sure
she would get on we'll

AT the close of this interview the
prospective mllliner left the banker
With light heart and had visions of

would 1t be flying in the face Of provi-
dence to use it?
Use it by all means, Miss Jane.
Times are looking up. business is go
ing to revive and / am sure your
money will be more than doubled" he
answered.
Again acting on his advice she
bought the best her money would buy
and began to prepare for her fall
opening" Her nimble fingers copied
pattern hats and dainty bonnets until
resting in her showcase and on the
hat forms were as tasty and enticing
a lot OF head covering as had ever
been seen by the town. The night be-
fore the opening she retired late. but
woke up from dream of being choked
to find her room full of smoke. Al
most stifed she threw on her wrap
per and cropping her way to the door
ran out into the street crying "Fire!"
The house was a double one and the
other side was already wrapped in
flames when Miss Jane gave the alarm
and the other tenants. whose careless
ness had caused the fire. barely escaped
with their lives.
Poor Miss Jane stood in the street
wringing her hands in despair while
the cruel flames deyoured her pretty
hats and bonnets. as IL they were but
delicious morsel, until kind neigh
Dor came and led her home.
The opening day" had arrived, the
little millinery shop was open. in very
truth. to the public. but there was
nothing but ashes to gaze on. Black
despair. starvation. even the poor
house. stared Jane Dody in the face. as
sitting by the neighbor's hearth she
wept silently and dared not look into
the future.
Early in the morning Mr.. Hope
heard the news.
He remembered 1t was by his advice
that all the miiliner's money was in
vested in that now ruined stock. Poor
little woman, What could he do for
her? He could not offer her money or
home. A home? Why not? He
smiled at the thought and the little
milliner's sweet face, sweet though no
longer youthful. appeared to him with
new charm. Hastily leaving his house
he sought and found Miss Jane.
When he asked her to marry him
she said mo" at first. for she felt sure
1t was only pity that moved his heart.
But she looked so sweet and confused
when she refused him that the dear
old gentleman fell in love with her on
the spot and succeeded In making him
self. as well as her, believe that he had
really loved her a long time and had
only awaited favorable opportunity
OF telling her. So. having no one to
consult. they were married the very
next day. in spite OF the bride-elect's
protests that the haste was unseemly
Hayside had not recovered from the
excitement caused by the fire when 1t
had another shock. 1t occurred when
the Weekly Local published the fol-
lowing item: Married. Thursday, at
10 a. m. Mr.. Richard Hope and Miss
Jane Dody."

uaiiops in the value of currency are
always injurious and to reduce these
fluctuations to the lowest possible
point will always be a leading pur-
pose in wise legislation. "
The gold standard has been and
is now doing just what Lincoln de-
precated in the following words {:
"When one hundred millions or more
OF the circulation we now have shall
be withdrawn, who can contemplate,
without terror, the distress, ruin,
bankruptcy and beggary that must
follow? The man who has purchased
an article-say horse-on credit at
one hundred dollars, when there are
two hundred millions circulating in
the country, if the quantity be re-
duced to one hundred millions, by
the arrival Of pay day will (other
conditions remaining the same), find
the horse but sufficient to pay half
the debt and the other half must be
either paid out of his other means,
and thereby become clear loss to
him, or go unpaid and thereby become
clear loss to his creditor. What |
have here said of single case of
debt existing at the time a reduction
in the quantity occurs, will hold good
in every case of debt, no matter for
whomsoever and for whatsoever, the
currency may have been contracted ;"
No one knew better than Lincoln
the type of patriotism possessed by
the pawnbrokers and usurers. His
dealings with them during the early
part of the war had convinced him
how thoroughly their love of country
was subservient to their love of mon
ey. When that great Commoner APP
pealed to them in the name of our
common country to come to its finan-
cial relief at that trying hour of its
existence, the big pawnbroker, just
like the little pawnbroker of today,
threw up his hands and told Lincoln
in effect that if the government was
all the security he had to offer they
would have to charge 2 per cent int
crest Lincoln's eyes were then
opened to The fact that Shylock had
hut one God aud that was Mammon
He turned away from the usurer as
he could borrow only on pawnbroker's
terms and issued $50, 900, 900 of non
interest bearing money and it proved
rs good money as any in the world.
lie was then that these same bankers
came to the government and said
"don't make any more money, we will
let You have all you want at the low
est rates" Lincoln's experience with
he money power taught him that it
was constituencies, ruthless and cru
ell. Therefore his prediction of the
effects of its enhancement in this
country was not a mere guess. He
knew. The people lost their best
friend and the money power its great
est foe in the death of Abraham Lin
coin. GRETTS.
