Band Makes Good Showln3.

Did you hear the band last Mon
day evening? Considering that it
was their first appearance in public,
the boys did remarkably well. Prof.
Snapp has demonstrated his ability as
a band teacher and director to the
satisfaction of the entire community
by taking an aggregation of young
men and boys, - per cent of whom
hardly knew one note from another,
and i'm few short weeks developing
them into creditable musicians. 1t
will not be great while until Red
Cloud will have one of the best bands
in the state.

ANCIENT FINANCE.
Trading In the Days Before Money
Was In Circulation.

Assyria with her immense hosts and
her spacious and magnificent cities,
had no money; Egypt-opulent, popu-
lous and abundant Egypt-had no mon
ey: ancient Persia. before the age OF
the first Darius, had no money: the
early Hebrews, and even during the
most prosperous period of the age OF
Solomon and down to the time of Ju-
das Maccabaeus, were without money;
Etruria from first to last was without
money: Rome was without money to
the time of Servius Tullius, and the
Greeks Of the heroic ages were equally
destitute Of money. Among all those
nations gold and silver, when used i'll
barter. were weighed out by the scales,
as when Abraham purchased the cave
of Macpelah "he weighed to Ephron
the silver which he had named in the
audience Of the sons of Iieth."
Anciently there was no money In
Arabia, or the riches of the patriarch
| Job would not have been estimated
by his camels, oxen and she asses.
India, Persia, Assyria, Judaea, Egypt
| Greece. Etruria, Rome, the nations OF
| Asia Minor, including Tyre and Its tie
Tendencies, all arrived ut civilization
and comfort without the current use
of cash and carried on their extensive
mercantile and manufacturing transac'
tions merely by bartering commodities
in kind, bullion being reckoned among
those commodities. These nations were
populous almost beyond credibility and
transported their produce, manufac
lures and other merchandise In ships
