A Question of Interest.
People sometimes say that they

ten per lent for the money. They say
this talk of seven per cent money Is all
wrong and that IL figured out 1t would
be costing a borrower twelve or four
teen per cent. Each time when asked
to figure this out they decline to do so
and urn it off by saying something to
this effect: Anyone can see that If
he gets $40 for each share borrowed
out of the association and then pays
back the $40 he is paying a high rate
Of interest, as toward the end of the
time with nearly the whole amount
paid back he, is stiIl paying interest on
the whole $40" This would certainly
be true if he paid the whole $17O back.
In reality he pays about s116 back and
the difference between this and s170
is derived from the earnings of the as
ISOLATION. In other words the borrow
er is sharing in the profits just the
same as the investor. The premium

equal basis and his desire for the mon.

"You don't say. Were there any big
ones among them?"
well, l should say! A good many
of them would weigh nigh on to three
or four pounds"
Heavens" said ]; that must have
been an awful haul. Would you mind
showing them to me?"
Sure not. Come right back here;
I've got 'em in a pail"
With that he took me back of the
hotel, and, taking them out of the pail.
said: Now, amt that a pretty fair
catch?"
you may think so.' said l, "but I
don't see any over nine or ten inches
long. I thought you said some of
them would weigh three or four

No such a thing" said he. 81 said
a good many Of them'd weigh three or
our pounds. Don't you catch on-a

learn that I'm the middle of the eight

tween Selklrk and Edinburgh, a dis

Cured at the beginning of the storm.
Three persons were hurt, but in only
one case are the injuries of a serious
character. Thomas Wright was stand
ing in the city meat market when the
front was blown In and Mr.. Wright
was cut up badly by the glass. Tele'
phone lines are all down and streets
are just a mass Of trees, fences, barns,
