CHAPTER VIII.


Breen was not wholly unconscious of
danger when the large bundle Of New
York papers was brought with the mails
into the library. The ladies' had busted
themselves over joint epistle from Mr..
Stansbury, and were scanning The front
pages Of the journals, when a sudden
exclamation from Mrs. Stansbury inti-
mated the ugly truth. Breen was chang
ed from guest to outlaw. Miss Stansbury
followed her mother upstairs, the former
bearing the paper with her. A second
account Of the demoralizinK incident was
not difficult to find. Breen read the. fol-
lowing hastily:

OF Argos. in 500 B. c.. 1t must not b.

uses OF money for centuries previous
to the Introduction OF coinage. The
ancient Egyptians had gold and sill

ed on the weight.
The Greeks improved somewhat on
this system by first marking the weight
ON gold and silver nuggets so that IL
would no longer be necessary to re-
weigh them every time they were to be
used for purposes OF exchange or trade.
Then came the introduction OF gold. sill
yer and copper nuggets OF graded uni
form sizes and value. The next step
was the moulding and stamping OF discs
made from the precious metals.
Some OF these first coins were enor-
nous. the idea apparently being to dis

large as dinner plates. While the idea
was based on excellent motives. II had
to give way before the demand for
smaller and more convenient forms OF
currency and the giant pennies soon
dwindled In size to meet the popular
demand
The earliest trace Of the use OF gold
as money IS TO be found IN the pictures
OF the ancient Egyptians weighing In
scales heaps OF rings OF gold and sill

ever. that these rings were what may
be termed coins with fixed value.
Iron. judging from the statement OF
Aristotle. was once extensively EN-
ployed as currency. Lead has also
served as money. In fact II still does
so In Burmah.
Copper has been more widely en-
ployed as money than either OF the two
last mentioned metals. The early He

PowER IN THE sILENcEs
Quietistic Advice to Modern Women
 Who Marry.

Edwin Markham in the Red Book
 Here is hint for the women who fdgct and fret and fuss. Go into the silence at certain times in the day. One need not necessarily retire for formal prayer. "'Ee who is in the path Of drty needs no prayer, said wise ori- entsl But in the silence you will find the peace and strength of prayer. In withdrawing from the pressure of things and getting in touch with the great sources of power, you will find the peace and strength of prayer. Tn withdraw ing from the pressure of things and getting in touch with the great sources of power, you will absorb power.
 Slip away for ten minutes and tran quilly picture your work before your minds eye as triumphant and com pleted whole. Quiet your spirit, hold ing yourself open to the divine currents, feeling that you are channel for your measure of the central power and you will emerge sustained and soothed by the inflow from the central sea. You will go forth to yorr work able, like the poets brook, ito make a pastime of each weary step.' Withdraw into the deep silence, there is no sarer way to fling off the shadows of fear, to ban ish the newts and bats cs the worries and fiurries.

MIR. BRYAN AND THE SPEAKER

William Jennings Bryan is not ap- bearing at his best of late. If the ran dom expressions credited to him be cor rect and the editorial excerpts from his paper fairly represent him, he is lacking that poise and breadth of view once so becoming in him.
 An instance in point is his unwarrant- cd, almost vicious, arraignment of Speaker Cannon. It is true that in the heat of the national struggle last year "a contest conducted on & deplorably low plane in many phases-Mr. Cannon somewhat rudely assailed Mr. Bryan and subjected himself to a counter at tack quite jrstifable and in keeping with the day and time.
 But things that are taken as a matter of course in a campaign jar nightly if repeated when the public mind is in a normal state. Whatever enc may think of the system under which the speak CT rules the house--and it has not com mcnded itself to this newspaper-cer- tainly there is nothing ill the speak CTS record, CT in his personality, that furnishes a legitimate basis for the as. pensions which Mr. Bryan casts upon him. If called upon to defend or sub stantiate his charge that Mir. Cannon is in the control of corporations, and uses his high office to further iniquitous ends, undoubtedly the Nebraskan would fail, ard fail miserably. Nothing but humiliation colld come to him as spon- sor for such charges before any properly constituted tr:bunsl. Moreover, if any such proof were forthcoming, stigma would be put upon the entire majority of the house.
 When MT. Bryan or the press attacks the system there is solid ground to stand upon. That those democrats who broke from their party to perpetuate the syS a1 will find difficulty in squar ing thc sclves with intelligent constit- uencies is foregone conclusion. But attack upon the speaker s character will not hasten new era in the house. He is what the majority makes him and would have him be--nothing more and nothing less. And MT. Bryan has not helped the cause of reform by his latest utterance personal to Mir. Cannon.

THE WAIST LINE

We admit we approach this subject of the fashions in feminine waist lines in fear and %rembling. Mayhap we are tiptoeing in where angels fear to tread. But We are profoundly interested in this matter, and We would like to know a few things in connection with it, albeit We may go about our hunt for informa- tion clumsily and in great disorder
 What are the women driving at in respect of their waist lines, anyway? Only little while ago it was away up under their arms; now We are informed that it is to drop in one fell and em- phatic swoop to region somewhere arond and about their knees. Why this precipitate readjustment7 Are they try ing to fix it so they cannot possibly make over tbeir dresses that have once or twice betn worn? Or are they seek ing to fashlo ion thing that may simply be reverse,t and put on upside-down- ward, and thus serve an economic turn?
 
 We confess we are not able to guess which, if either, idea dwells in their minds.
 Maybe, However, they are trying to see how many different locations they can give their waist lines in given space of tine, and intend letting it re- main at thcir knees merely a trifing week or 50. And when they are ready to make another move, are they going to put the waist line back amidships, where it belongs, or will they cut it on the whatever that is--and try that out?
 We arc rot captious in the least. Ii is possible tho whole thing is none of our business, anyway. We will go far ther, and admit we may be moved by that emotion supposed to be possessed by woman kind exclusively plain, old, curiosity. It is a pretty puzzle, most assuredly.
 Why are you chasing your waist line around in that fashion, ladies? Be cause?
