in all my life" said Dorothy, gazing open-mouths
ed at the display.
Here, take some" and he handed her a roll
of bills, just as he would have given her a handful
of chocolates. Your papa made il by putting
P & r. up seven points today"
=. q E'l" exclaimed Mrs Brown "Why, it's
been dead for ten years"
Obstacles like that don't worry your old hzS-
by. You see Williams gave me the bill last
night, and until it was paid the family was in
pawn. l couldn't stand for that, Of course, so
| determined to manipulate P. 4 E. This is
the result"
Brown laughed again, pulling Dorothy down
to his knee. "And, incidentally your papa got
old Sammy Neville out of p & E. and cleared him
million"
made million dollars for Mr.. Neville? Well.
that alters matters" And she hid her face in his
coat.
Brown looked for explanation to his wife. who
promptly came to the rescue
She has an idea that people will think she is
after his money, as we haven't any of our own
and SO she has been refusing young Sammy every
night for a week."
What" cried Brown, in sudden anger
Doesn't she realize what it would mean to me
in my business to have my daughter married to
old Sammy's heir? She's fool"
Wait minute Jim said Mrs. Brown, sooth-
ingly. Il think she has an idea that this changes
things considerably"
"Is that so, Dorothy?'
"Yes papa If Mr.. Neville is under oblira-
tons to you to the extent of million dollars,
why--then-I guess-I can marry Sammy" And
she hid her face again
That's papas little grill" cried Brown, de-
lightedly. Then he added, teazingly II suppose
you think you're in love with him, do you? Got
your head stock full of romantic notions, haven't
you? And If papa hadn't been obliged to act
you and your mamma out Of pawn, you would
have kept on saying mo- to the man you really
liked, wouldn't you? Women certainly are
queer"
At that moment there was knock at the
door. Mrs. Brown opened it, to admit bellboy
with case of champagne.
'FWhat is that for?" asked Browns family. in
chorus.
''That," replied Brown. represents little bet
I had with Williams in reference to P & E." He
took bottle from the case, and showed a few
of the bills off on to the floor in order to make
room for it on the bureau. "Get me a glass, Dor.
othy. All things considered, don't think I've
done so badly, do you? I've married you to
young Sammy, and I've gotten the family out of
pawn. Well, here's to P. & E."
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-27

Of mine. Got some romantic notions think
and you know, Williams. it would mean grea
deal to me in my business to have my daughter
married to old Sammy's millions Well, il sh,
won't, she won't, I suppose Anyhow there's
that affair of your bill'
Brown looked thoughtfully out of the window
for few moments. Then. his eyes very bright
and his whole face animated, he turned suddenly
to the proprietor.
do you know. Williams" he said, ''P. 4 f. il
going to 60 up seven points tomorrow"
"P. q e. nonsensel That's been a dead stock
for ten years" And the proprietor, with a con
temptuous wave Of the hand turned to 20 toward,
the dining room.
"Wait minute. 7 had talk with the pres
dent of the road today, and I've got inside infor
nation Then, seeing that the look OF ncredu
lity had not left the propretors face, he added
"Ill bet you a case of champagne p. 4 E. goes
up seven points tomorrow"
Williams began to look impressed, though still
doubtful. "You owe me lot of money now, you
know"
"I know do. You don't suppose I'd bet If l
weren't sure, do you?"
Williams appeared to consider. Then, after a
moments hesitation, he said: Suppose we 90
into my office and talk about It,"
half-hour later Brown might have been seen
sitting in the cafe in company with half a dozen
men, with whom he was engaged in earnest con.
versation. At first his companions seemed TO
treat his remarks with ridicule, but after little
while they became interested, and finally deeply
impressed. An hour later Brown rose. and. reach.
ing for his stick, sauntered from the cafe. out
into the street, and down towards the boardwalk
He had not gone far when he met two men with
whom he was acquainted, and, accostng them
lovially, proposed that they go and get something
to drink An hour later when he had left them,
he was chucklng delightedly to himself Still
he was not yet ready to go back to the hotel, but
as fresh as ever, started out on the trail for
more unsuspecting prey.
When he finally did stagger into the hotel. it
was four A. NJ. He was quite intoxicated but
still sane enough to know that he had done re.
markably good nights business. AS he reeled. in.
to the elevator, he aimed silver dollar at
sleepy bellboy, and demanded a pitcher of ice
water at once
1--WE don't have (hic) to be careful of our (bic)
money, now, Colonel" he remarked to the ele-
vator boy. cts wonderful what (hic) man
will do to get his (hic) family out of pawn, isn't

supposed dead stock had gone up five points.
AT half past twelve Brown, his hair mussed
and in his shirt sleeves, was standing beside the
telegraph operator, debating rapidly, when old
Sammy Neville hobbled into the office and de-
manded loudly to see Jim Brown
Here | ami What is it, Sammy" shouted
Brown, above the hubbub Of tickeTs, telegraph
saunders and excited voices.
'I want to talk to you about P. & E., jim
Neville said, when he was near enough to he
heard in his natural tone Of voice. "You know
I've had that d-n stock for ten years; you got
me into it, and I've always been sore about it.
Now, ! want you to sell OUT do you hear? Sell
outl"
Sammy, take my advice. II you hang on until
quarter Of three, you'll make million"
"a milon" The old man looked greedy, but
nevertheless he hesitated. "How do you know?
The stocks dead, and this boom can't possibly
last"
'I know it can't, but, as started it," compla-
Gently, "I know just how long il will last. It's
going to last until three o'clock today. At ten
o'clock tomorrow the slump will begin, and then
there's going to be small panic.'
Old Sammy looked thoughtful. 'Well," he
said finally, Suit yourself, Jim. But, look here;
il it goes down before you sell me out you'll
never get another order from me, and that's
fat"
"All right, Sammy, I'm willing to take my
chances"
At quarter of three old Neville was the richer
bV million; at ten minutes of three, Williams
had cleared two thousand dollars; at three
o'clock the market closed with P. & E. seven
points above what it had been in the morning,
and at half past three Brown was counting out
some bills of his own
It was five o'clock when Brown entered his
wife's dressing room. Hello, Nelly" he said,
iovially fairly beaming upon her as he spoke.
"Ten Dorothy her papa wants to see her"
"She's asleep, jim"
"Wel, get her up; it's FIVE o'clock"
When his wife and daughter entered the room,
they found that all the toilet articles had been
cleared off the bureau and that it was covered
instead with mass of crisp, new bills. Brown
laughed long and loudly at their surprise.
"Do you see that, Dorothy? It's real money;
smell it. Your papa made it."
"You made all that money!" Dorothy cried.
GLOW much is it?' asked his wife.
"Seven hundred dollars"
"Why never saw so much money all at once

Cne dimes, the 25-cent pieces, the 50-cent pieces
and the dollar pieces that bear, if not exactly
the image and superscrption, at all events the
emblem OF Uncle Sam, will vanish from the
pockets and the tills to and from which tbev
used TO pass in this country on equal terms with
our own silver coin. Under an arrangement made
by the Finance Department with the banks the
iatter are arrestlng all the American silver coins
that come into their hands All of the American
pieces that reach the banks will be assorted and
shipped to New York, where they will be re-
celved at the agency of the Bank of Montreal
1t is not because they will be specially benefited
by the rddance that the banks are helping the
coin out. Though the amount of this American
metallic money in Canada is estimated at ST OOO.
600, 1T does not compete to any appreciable ex.
tent with bank currency, which is all in the form
OF notes of no lower denomination than S5 It ia
true, If we give facility to the circulation of
American coin we invite American paper money
that is displaced by American silver passing in
Canada. And with the Dominion Government
the loss is no mere interest charge The govern
ment loses the difference between the coin value
and the bullion value The metal in 5Ocent
piece costs the government about % cents The
piece of bullion for which it pays out % cents
is stamped into coin, which is accepted by the
creditors, suppers employees of the govern
ment as payment for so cents worth of service
material or credit. If the $1,000O0O of American
silver had not been in the country the 81 100000
OF Canadian silver would have been required To
provide this money the government would have
had to spend about $450,000, but as it would
have got 100000 for it, there would have been
profit of $550yO0O. This should not be fore
gone because of indulgence toward our neighbors
or because too careless to look after our
own interests. BY keeping its money here we
were really contributing than $5OO,O00 to
the revenue of the United States. The people of
the United States do not reciprocate They take
neither coin nor our bills whether of the
Dominion Government or the chartered banks

There must be no eXtenuatlng circumstance, else
the applicant for membership is blackballed. For
instance, should a girl apply to the hearts-easc
for a berth and in being cross examined at
mass meeting of the two clubs by the president
of each, it should leak out that in spirit OF
mischief she had sorely tried the patience of her
fance by flirting with a rival, and that she had
repeated this offense until her fances patience
had reached the swapping point and then had
come the quarrel, and the rupture, she would
be dismissed after the administration of severe
lecture and the decision of the united protection
leagues to do nothing whatever to assuage the
pangs of her sef-inficted wounds.
The initiation of a new member is an impres-
sive ceremony and one most interesting
When some one applies for membership he
or she, is requested to secure two sponsors who
will vouch for the correctness of the statements
made the examining board. A call is then sent
to the members of each club and full meeting
is held at which the four officers of each organi-
zaton preside and the final registering is done by
the president at the close of a rigid examination
The formal questions follows:
What is your full name and address?
The name and address of the person who has
discarded your honest love?
Do you promise to foreswear all intercourse
with the trifers?
Have you returned all the material evidence
of the trifer's false affection?
If not do you agree to do so at once?
Will you promise to steadfastly deny all over
lures which may in the future be made by the
trihers to reclaim your affection or friendship?
Do you consent to allow these organizations TO
use your story, your name and the name of the
person who has wronged you for the benefit of

down verbatim the would-be member is told to
stand forth and take the oath, raising the right
hand and clasping the left with full-fedged
member of the opposite club in token of friend

the same attitude back of the new member, and
the solemn oath is taken, first by the one being
initiated and then in unison by the officers Of
the organization, and again by all the members.
This oath has as yet not been revealed. 1t is
zealously guarded, and no amount of coaxlng OF

&A.& is the simplest of all voting systems,
H4smSgI practced in Switzerland by the show
ing of hands. Sometimes, more than
10000 people are gathered in the big market
place. Some Of the men have come 20 or 90
miles to vote; for every man of voting age is
fined if he does not report at the voting place
The ceremony in the election described began
with solemn march of the dignitaries from the
house where they had been waiting to the plat
form. Then followed the singing of the Appenze
hymns and the long address by the landmann,
during which every man removed his hat. After
the address there was silent prayer of half a
minute, and then the voting began.
The men to be voted for happened to be the
officers who had already served, and who were
up for reelection. The of each candidate
was called out by the sheriff in voice that was
almost, if not quite, Then came the ques-
ton, "Will you replace him.? No one moved,
but at the question, ''Will you confirm him?" a
sea of hands went up on the instant; and so it
was in every case. Such absolute unanimity was
refreshing to see Apparently there was divi-
sion into parties The people knew their men,
and knew what they wanted The vote was un-
animous for each man, but one of the judges had
died in October and his place to be filled;
so after the others had been confirmed the land
mann called for nominations from the crowd.
Every man has the right to nominate anyone he
pleases who is a citizen and resident of the
canton So from out the crowd one heard names
called.
When some half dozen names had been chosen
they were read aloud and proposed for vote one
by one. At each name there came a sprinkling
of hands over the crowd till the name arrived
that the majority of the crowd had evidently
fixed upon, and then came the same unmistakable
upraising of hands in such numbers that there
was absolutely doubt as to who was elected
and his election was declared at once by the land
mann
After all the officers were elected the landmann
took the oath of office, and then the whole crowd
raising their right hands, took the oath Of al
legiance, repeating aloud the formula in concert
as it was read from the platform. In the voting
where there arises a doubt to the vote the
voters are marched in front of the platform in
fours and counted After the vote for officers
the question of changing the constitution, that
the government might be carried in a more
modern fashion, was brought up, and promptly
and unanimously voted down.

an extent that his companions decided to play a
very practical joke on him, by placing him in an
undertakers shop to sleep in casket
In the early dawn Mr.. Howard awoke, stretch

caskets about him, and in heeting second his

the proprietor, curiously.
"Save!" Browns deep-chested, hearty laugh
rang out contagiously through the hotel lobby.

again, immensely pleased with his own wit. I'm

Williams joined in the laugh, not so much be
cause of the joke as because it was impossible
for anyone to refrain from laughing when Brown
began to laugh.

he continued after moment, '1because Dorothy's
