Many years ago. in consequence of
a commercial panic. there was a severe
run on bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. why, they're quite hot!" said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are coining them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

family that he promptly traded one of
the babies to another Russian for a
pig. The governmental authorities,
however, forced him to cancel the
trade, which he had made over the
bitter protests of the mother, and it is
probable the entire family will be de-
ported as a result of this and other
disclosures.
