And so little by little. through their
agents, the managers OF the Bank Of
England bought up every receipt bear
ing the name of Childs' bank, permit

each succeeding year until the time
/ should be ripe, during a shortage OF
gold, to present the receipts III one
vast mass for payment. 1t was figured
to be a certainty that Childs' would not
be able to meet the demand and would
thus be crushed out Of existence.
Happy for ChIlds' was it that one Of
the Bank OF England's agents, over
bottle, let slip the secret.
! And now at BlenheIm they tell the
story Of that famous night one hundred
and fifty years ago when the wild
! changing of the bell at the great gate
awakened the people of the village and
| of a white-faced, travel-stained man
staggering into the hall and brokenly
! entreating an audience Of her grace,
! the duchess-none other than the ia
nous Sarah Jennings-for in her the
bank found its most powerful friend
and patron. Down came the indOmita-
BILE Sarah in her. dressing gown to e
ceiye the visito and demand his excuse
! for disturbing her peace.
! Your grace" began the messenger,
! 'the Bank of England holds our re-
ceipts for six hundred and twenty
thousand pounds (thirty-one hundred
, thousand dollars). Those receipts will
be presented for payment at noon to-
I day; we have not gold enough to meet
/ them. Unless we can answer the de-
: mand in eight hours We are ruined
! There is but one person in this world
: who can save us-you, our patron, and
to you we turn in our need.
Without a word the Duchess sat
down at her writing table and wrote
out a check and handed it to the banks
agent. 1t was an order on the Bank Of

: The hour of noon saw the Bank of

one Of the boys and rolled him off his
chair onto the floor. though without
hurting him seriously. He finally stood
still long enoungh for Santa Claus thus
to begin to distribute the Christmas
gifts and then walked off the platform
and trotted with his rider out of doors
again. Santa Claus soon after return

frOlics, helping Miss Hume also in CIV
ing out the Christmas gifts.
The new Children's hall looked very
pleasant indeed with its large evergreen

so light is the substance handled. As
it is, quantities fly about, and settle
in the girls hair and clothing. The
walls and corners glisten with 1t. In
front of each girl is fine leather
cushion, and at her side are piled the
moulds. She turns the leaves and with
the aid of two slender wooden tools,
one a oincers and the other a kind of
stiletto, lifts the shimmering gold,
drops it on the leather cushion, and
breathes on it gently to fiatten It. This
must all be done lightly and quickly
to avoid breaking. With two strokes
of a wooden stamp called a wagon,
something like a cooky-cutter, the gold
is cut into a three and three-eighths
inches square. The trimmings are
swept back into a box, and the gold
is again lifted and dropped between the
leaves of a tissue-paper book, where it
becomes the gold leaf of commerce.
Twenty of them are sold together in
a package. The retail price is $3.50.
An expert workwoman can make from
sixty to eighty books day. The work
is delicate, not firing, and but for the
closeness of the room would be de-
cidedly pleasant occupation.

Relieves That Presidents Efforts

Boston. Oct. 4.-Senator Lodge took
the opportunity at a meeting OF the
Essex Club to-day, held to ratify the
recent state nominations. to make a
notable speech dealing with the coal
situation. and also with tariff revision.
He expressed earnest sympathy with,
and sympathetic support for the Pres

strike. and confidence that the party
would be with him in whatever further
steps he might take. Continuing, he

necessity of some government supervi-

shows the necessity Of some kind of
