 HARD PUT.
 The poet likes
 To sing of love
 And eke about
 The turtle dove,
 But when his muse
 Will not permit
 A single ray
 Of light to fit
 His way, he sings
 Of this and that
 The price of beans
 Life In a flat
 Of breakfast food
 And Teddy bears,
 Of high finance
 And millionaires,
 Of chauffeurs and
 The auto face
 Just anything
 To fill up space! Up in Boston when a B. and A. train gets in on time enthusiastic citizens meet it with a brass band and beans are served.

 No Trouble Arose.
 This course was very generally re- sorted to in the panic of 1893 and practically no trouble arose from any such issues. Most of the scrip issued at that time was payable after specified period, at ninety days or six months, but where issued by the banks with support of tue clearing house unusually specified that the paper would be received on deposit at clearing house banks Some question arose at that time IS to Wheth CT this paper would be subject to the tax of 10 per cent i'm posed on the issue of notes to circulate as money by individuals or in circula- tions other than national banks. The question was settled by Attorney Gen eral Olney after the panic was prac- tically over in an opinion of Novem- Der 21, 1893. The captions of that opin- ion pretty well express its text that The tax on state banks imposed by the act of February, 1870, chapter 35 section 19, applies only to. promissory and not to other negotiable papers"

 The falling off of the premium rate for currency today from S1A per cent was brought about by the large amount of gold and silver which was taken from safe deposit valuts and offered for sale. Deposits of currency were generally for the account and brokers state that currency bought here is be- Ing shipped to agricultural and indus trial centers. where it is most needed.
