that with Golfers overflowing with
gold. America was obliged to appeal
to Europe for relief in the panic Of
1s07-is a strong point of the argu
ment that will be made to Congress
by the advocates Of revision of the
monetary system Of the country.
Evidence Is accumulating that Pres
ident Taft meant to convey assent to
the plan in his recent Boston speech
and that Senator Aldrich and his sew.
enteen colleagues on the monetary
commission have decided to recon.
mend central bank.
According to the treasury statistics
produced by George H. Reynolds. pres
ident Of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, in the course of his statement
to that body, when the first blast Of
evil times came in 1907. the United
States treasury held over one hundred
million dollars more gold than the great
national banks Of England. Germany
and France combined. while circulating
outside of the treasury among the ma
tional and state banks and the people,
was at least twice the gold treasure
held by all of those great European
banks.
Yet this vast hoard in the United
States was entirely unavailable. The
credit of the national government
stood unimpaired. but the business In
terests Of the country were crippled
Tor lack Of the currency which is their
life blood. and only resort to the is
sue of clearing house certificates pre-
vented the panic from assuming great
er proportions than it did.
Mr.. Reynolds is probably compe
tent authority, and in his Chicago
speech he sought to outline this i'm
portant project. Here he pointed out,

the people. The people were to be the
stockholders, for anyone would be
privileged to buy the bank stock Just
as he might government bond. A
small interest on such an investment
would be guaranteed by the govern
ment: any earnings more than suf-
ficient to pay the guaranteed interest
would be shared by the government
and by the stockholders. Political
control Of the great bank would
be made at least extremely diff
ficult by the life appointment
of the officers. Integrity OF op-
Grafton would be assured by board
of supervision appointed by the presi-
dent. the secretary of the treasury and
the comptroller of the currency (sub-
ject to the approval Of the Senate).
for alternate terms Of at least eight
years to bridge over political muta-
tions. Thus would be met the ob1ec-
tions founded upon the history Of the
old United States bank. that the CEN
tral bank might be prostituted to po-
litical uses and be made powerful
engine for the perpetuation In power
of one party.

Morning.

A year ago was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
OF giving UP my position in the school
room because Of nervousness.
Il was telling friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum. and it is such
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
u was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind Of
coffee. but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, and
that the condition Of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact
MY first trial was failure. The
cook boiled 1t four or five minutes and
1t tasted SO fat that l was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
tions and boiled 1t fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. It was decided
success and l was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short
time noticed decided improvement

A Surprised Party.

Sipes Mil, Feb. 16.-George
Hauman and son Elan who live
near this place had thrilling ex-
perience last Saturday night. In
the evening they went to Akers'
store FOR their mail. and after
spending an hour or two swap
ping stories with others that had
gone to that place on the same
errand, started home. Knowing
that the night would be dark, Mr.
Hauman had taken the precau-
tion to provide himself with Ian
tern, and like some virgins we
read about, had overlooked the
matter of seeing that there was
plenty of oil in 1T; and 1t was on
account of this thoughtlessness
that his undolng was almost
brought about.
To reach home 1t was necessary
that they should cross an old pine
field. Now If there Is any place
that pile of black cats will cast
shadow on dark night 1t Is in
the gloom of an old pine field; and
so, just as they were IN the midst
of that pine field, the lantern be-
gan to flicker and blink, and in a
moment the two travellers we're
where Moses was when the light
went ont. Was it dark? Well,
1t was just so thick that you
could make holes in it wherever
! you stuck your fingers. No; they
could not see, but they could hear
and they did hear. There
seemed to be an omlnous crack
ling OF twigs, that warned them
of approaching danger, and all al
once, two large, bright, fiery eyes
peered upon them at a distance
of less than ten feet. 1t is SAID
that Elias suggested the wisdom
of running, but the father was
rot built that way, and happened
to have his gun along, fred three
shots IN the direction of the fiery
eyes, when the eyes like the Ian
tern went out. Later seeing a
glimpse OF the "eyes', he sent
another load after them, and this
time, they heard something Civ
ing tongue and disappeared il
the darkness.
Without having any more trou
BILE they reached home safe, and
now the question discussed about
the Mills Is, 'To whom or to what
did the eyes belong?"

NEW VERSION OF THE BIBLE.
Now Being Made Under the Auspices Of
American Jews.

A new translation of the Scrip
lures is being prepared under
the joint auspices of the Jewish
Publication Society of America
and the Central Conference of
American Rabbis. In response
to many inquiries they have is
sued statement of the methods
they propose to follow.
According to the statement the
new translation "alms at conserv-
ing the form which the Scrip.
lures have assumed IN the Eng.
lish tongue through the two great
historical versions--the Author.
lied of 1911 and the Revised of
1S84-but in more particular
manner and above all 1t purposes
to adhere faithfully to the form
IN which the synagogue has hand
ed down the original text.
"From the point of view of it's
fidelity to. the English versions it
does not lay claim to being a. new
translation, but merely a revision
of Its predecessors. 1t Is an in
teresting tact IN the history of
Bible translations that once a
translator had been put forth
there was little attempt at Great
ing IN that particular tongue an
absolutely novel translation; the
old translation was always sub
jected to revision.
''Thus Aqulla and Symmachus
and Theodotlon revised the older
Greek translation of the Seventy,
the Vulgate represents a recast.
ing of the old Latin translation
antedatlng Jerome, and our own
Authorized version was revision
of Tyndale's version and of 9th
ers. All translations seem to
share IN the sacredness of the
original; they become sacred
through the religious associa-
ton.
"In the case of the older Eng.
llsh version 1t is we'll known how
1t has become an English classic,
part and parcel of the great Eng.
llsh literature; its phraseology
has entered the very English Ian.
guage aud cannot be severed
therefrom with lmpunity. Hence
it Is that the new translation will
not attempt to discard familiar
phrases unless In the judgment
of the editors they fail to do JUS.
tice to the Hebrew original. Even
in such cases the familiar render.
lngs will be recorded In the mar.
gin.
"Nor will there be any attempt
at modernlzlng the diction. Bib
llcal English has a ring and a
force which up-to-date language
cannot equal. The qualntness of
the English Bible is a charm that
must not be sacrificed to an ex.
aggerated desire for intelllgibil-
ity. The errors of translation
must at all hazards be corrected; /;
absolutely unlntelllgible or mis-
leading words must be taken to
preserve the beauty of the Bibll.
cal English, for the English Bible
as classic Is dear to all English
speaking men, Jews or Chris
tians."
