dreams having no effect on the even
tenor of her ways.
Christina Shown is the widow ol
Thomas Shown, who died twenty-five
Years ago and is the mother OF four
children. Twenty-one grandchildren,
and twelve great grandchildren, and
several great-great grandchildren are
hets. She was one of eight children,
of whom one died at ninety-two, an
other at eighty-nine and one still
lives at the youthful age of ninety.
Frequently she walks to Mt. Clifton,
a mile away to do her shopping, and
there be those with two score less
years to their credit who are not hall
so active or near so agile as these
trips show her TO be.
For eighty-five years she has been
a member Of the Lutheran church, the
church which her ancestors affiliated
with two centuries ago in the Father
land.
Yes, there is going to be a party on
Mill Creek, one day this week, and
"Teeney" Shown will be the guest OF
honor. The span of years between
January 10Th, 1915 and January 18th,
1909, will seem to her as but little
journey. Though the course OF years
has LED her far towards the setting sun,
vet it seems as if, even in the twilight,
many more years are yet hers to
claim.

No Morals In DreamIand.

which we should weep tears Of blood

ALDRlcH COMPARES THE UNITED STATES BANKS WITH FOR.
 ElGN BANKS.
Says That Central Bank Will Attract Gold from the Other Countries
 -Advance Discount Rates.

r. Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 9.-Reiterat- ing his declaration that neither he nor the monetary commission, of which he is the head. has any pet scheme of financial reform, Senator Aldrich to- night in this city dwelt at length upon some of the advantages of the Euro pean banking systems over the sys- tens in the United States.
 He spoke after dinner given by the Clearing House Association. Sen ator William Warmer of Missouri in- troduced the Rhode Island senator.
 Mir Aldrich said he found in the re- serve system the most striking chaut acteristics of the European banks. He said the central banks of Eng land, France and Germany, the Bank of England. the Bank of France anu the Reichs Bank, mold all the re. scunces of all the banks of their r,. spectiye countries.
 He pointed out that there is no le gal requirement. rendering it neces. sary for the foreign banks to keep in Their vaults so large a percentage as Is necessary in the United States and that the subordinate banks regnrd money in the central institution just as available for their reserve purpose as if 1t were in their own vaults.
 Asking himself how the great cen tral banks Igotect themselves in time of stress, Mir. Aldrich replied:
 They advance the discount rate as they did the other day. Fop what? To extract gold from other countr,es. which has the effect of building IBID their reserves. This process is al. ways successful. In 1907, the Bank of England advanced the rate ia 7n per cent and that step brought gold nom twentytwo countries. asked MT Campbell, the then governor of the bank. what he would have done if ne nid not secured the gold. He re- piled
 We would have put the rate m to io per cent and that would have brought gold out of the earth
 What else do they do? They ex. tend credits liberally to anyone sow- ent and who has right to borrow, instead of shutting their doors and stopping the extension of credits and nefusing eo give credits to their GUS. toner's
 Contrasting this system with the rigid methods of the United States Senator Aldrich said:
 T think this statement will afford a sufficient suggestion to you to show Shat we certainly ought to consider very carefully the question whether our banking system in that respect should not be re-comAructed'
