4 CHANCE FOR TROUBLE.

Soon after the resumption net
Was passed in 1874 the banks be-
gan to hoard the greenbnck in or
der that they might present them
for redemption on the first day of
January 1879. This hoarIinc
took all the greenbacks from cir
culation, except the ones and
two's which were allowed 10 circu-
late for the purpose of making
change. This boarding SO con-
tracted the currency as to alarm
congress aud on May 81, 1878, n
bill WAS passed providing that as
fast as the greebscks were redeem
ed they should be re-ssued. This
act unlocked the greenbacks and
when John Sherman began to
honor the greenbacks at the Gus
tom house there was no demand
for gold and as a consequence the
currency began to circulate freely
and an era of prosperity set in so
that in 1881 the resumprionists
we're able to point with pride 10 the
resumption act.
Taking a lesson from that peri
cd, it follows that there is likely
TO be q scramble for the SS0O,00O,-
600 Of government paper now in
circulation that will cause large
contraction of the currency with
the results that always. follow a
shrinkage of the volume of the
currency. 1t may however, be
possible for the banks to expand
their currency fast enough to
avoid . crash. But the machinery
has been provided whereby any
considerable combination of dem
ocrats or republicans can order n
panic At will. The proposed bank
OF the United States, when
thoroughly organized, can do it
alone. Gold is the standard and,
a. We understand the pending I'm
ance bill, it is the only legal ten
der, hence il n few men startin TO
demand gold, especially when
there 10 a heavy foreign demand
for the yellow metal, panic is
sure to follow. Here is n grand
opportunity for the rich ansrch.
lists or the united poor anarchists
TO make trouble for the country.

THE GOLD OUTPUT.

In 1898 Colorado produced s23,,
534,53l in gold. In 1899 ox
camp, Cripple Creek. produce
within 90, 100000 of this amou
and the entire state produced S55,
0S1, ,5l6-an increase of so per
cent within a year.
In 1899 the United States pro-
duced S7O,694,l7O in gold. Over
one-half of this grand total came
from the state of Colorado.
Colorado's gold output for 1899
is one-elght of the worlds tornl
output for 1898. 1t is almost one.
half of Africa's gold output for
1898. 1t is more than one.half of
the entire amount of gold coined
by tho United States in 1898.
If this gold could he kept at
home this output of S10,0O0,0OO a
year would be sufficient incrers Sc
to our volume of money to main.
tain a stable currency. But gold
is All exportable commodity and
goes to the nations of the world
that bid the highest for it. With
the large trade balance in our fav-
or the United States Is unable to
keep its gold product at home.

The only power capable of success

PEELED the fathers to rebel against

The same love of liberty DESTROY

found all doors closed against him, ell
employment denied him. One day while
roaming through the country he stopped
to rest i'm field where there were sew
eral horses at liberty, and instantly the
idea came into his head to borrow
horse ride to the seaport, thirty miles
distant, and embark for the New
World where he might begin a new
life. He jumped upon one of. the horses
and rode without saddle or bride all
night, reaching his destination early
the next morning, and turning the
horse loose before entering the town.
In the town he was arrested on sus-
picion, but managed to escape, and
made his way to Nantes, where he
found that his having no papers made
it impossible for him to embark. He
returned to Anglers, was arrested for
the theft of the horse and sentenced to
twelve years penal servitude in Brest.
At the end of four years he escaped,
and made his way to Paris. There he
speedily found work, and by diligence,
intelligence and integrity rose step by
step to prosperity. He married and be-
gan to have a certain position. One
Sunday, seven years after his mar
riage, he was walking in the suburbs
of Paris with his wife, when he was
recognized by his Javert a policeman,
who had been a former convict. Lee
melle was denounced, arrested and
sent back to Brest to finish the eight
years he still had to serve in addition
to the complimentary years for the
crime of escaping. After serving part
of this sentence he was pardoned by
Louis Philippe, at the intercession of
NJ. Moreau-Christophe who had
learned his story.

FICTION BECOMES FACT
MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS
PARALLELED.
g Paul PatofT And Pietro Ghislen -
Both Find Prototypes In Real Life
After Their Publication.

Two of Marion Crawford's most pop
ular novels have found actual parallels.
says the Bookman. Paul Patotf," it
will be remembered, treated of the dis
appearance of a man in Constantincple
and the ultimately successful search OF
his friends. In the story Paul Briggs
brings his influence to bear upon the
private secretary Of the sultan With
the result, that after a long and ardu-
Gus search the missing man is found.
About a year after the publication OF
Paul Patoff" Marion Crawford, who
is pretty generally known as the PAU
Griggs of his books, had a friend WIS.,
iting him at his house in Sorrento. The
friend in question went thence to Con-
stantinOple, and soon afterWard dislp-
peared mysteriOusly. The story told
in the novel was played out detail by
detail. Mr.. Crawford secured the as
sistance of the original of the sultdns
secretary in the book. They followed
the same plan and had the same 5uS-
picions. There was but one difference,
1t was that in actual life the man
was never found.
Another curious coincidence Of a SIM
liar nature was in connection with
"Pietro Ghisleri" that fascinating ro-
nance of modern Roman life. When
writing the book Mr.. Crawford was
for a time dubious as to the manner IN

of the table napkin infected with the
germs of scarlet fever, with which
readers of the book are familiar
seemed to him to be somewhat unnatu-

his friends with great hospitality, out

OF personal INTEREST.

Miss Elizabeth G.. Jordan, who en-
tered upon her duties as editor of Har-
per's Bazaar on the LIST of January, is
the youngest editor that weekly has
ever had In fact, it has only had two
others, the late Miss Mary l.. Booth,
who suggested it's plan and scope to
Messrs. Harper, and Mrs. Margaret E.
Sangster, who assumed the editorial
chair shortly after Miss Booths death.
There was an interregnum during
which Mrs. S. S. Conant occupied the
chair, but that was only for a short
time. Miss Jordan, who is just 80 years
of age, was born in Milwaukee, Wis,
and educated at the convent of Notre
Dame and the University of Wisconsin.
At the convent she won the cross of
honor, which carries many privileges
with it, About ten years ago Miss Jor-
dan came to New York to enter the
journalistic field. She accepted a re-
portorial position on the World, which
she held for one year; the other nine
years on the same paper were spent In
the editorial departments. Three years
ago Miss Jordan published a volume OF
short stories called TALES of the City
Room" and she has another on the
way.

THE REAL JEAN vALJEAN.

The Paris Figaro recently told the
story of the real Jean Vatican whose
career inspired Victor Hugo to write
Les Miserabes. The record of this
man, whose name was Urban Lemelle,
was taken from the notes of M Mo-
reau Christophe, the chief inspector of
prisons under Napoleon III. LemeIle,
like Jean Vatican, was the abandoned
child of a drunken father. AS a child
he was sheltered by a kind hearted
peasant and six years of his life were
passed in taking care of cows and
sheep. At the age of fourteen he de-
termined to become a sailor, and began
as cabin-boy on a river boat from An
gers. Three years later for a trifling
theft committed at the nstigation OF a
comrade, he was condemned to seven
years penal servitude.
During the term of his punishment
Lemelle proved an exemplary prisoner
resigned, industrious and religious
After his release he returned to Anglers
determined to prove to his former COM
panions that he was reformed. He

SECRET OF KIPLING's SUCCESS

SECRET OF KIPLING'S SUCCESS.
The difficulty with journalism is not
that it deals with passing things, but
that it deals with them in a passing
way, says Gerald Stanley Lee in the
February Atlantic. Kipling is an art
list because he respects the passing
thing, because he catches the glimmer
of the eternal joy upon it and Will not
let it pass. 1t is not in spite of being
a reporter that j. M. Barrie is an art
list, but it is because he is so much
more of a reporter that he can report
an out of the-way place like Thrums,
and make it as famous as Lon
don. The world will look through a
window anywhere if it belongs to a
man who sees things from it, The real
difference between Barrie and the
host of journalists to which he belongs
is not that he could make Thrums as
famous as London, but that he wanted
to- No one else would have thought
that Thrums would pay. Barrie did
not. He delighted in it. Nine reporters
out of ten, once finding themselves in
Kipling's place would have been too
worldly wise to have written as Kip
ling did. Who would have supposed
that the whole civilized world from
it's great complacent continents, would
ever come pouring out in crowds to the
jungles of India? 1t was because Kip
ling delighted in the jungle, could not
help writing about it, whether anybody
wanted it or not, that we find the whole
reading world today crowding Jungle
ward across the seas, spending its time
in that fever-stricken district, that
Indian-haunted, Mulvaney- memoried
wilderness, as if 1t blossomed as the
! rose. Nobody cares about this jungle
| Of yours. Why don't you write on
something that people care to read
about?" said the English publisher dis
| tinguished for rejecting Mr.. Kipling's
work Mr.. Kiplings secret is that he
took hold of something that nobody
wanted him to do, and did it better
than any one wanted him to do it. He
owes his success to the fact that he
has never done anything except t.
! please himself, and he holds it becaus,
no one can get him to do it now.
