DISCOUNT RATE IS
RAISED IN LONDON
Bank of England Forced to Act
by Enormous Demands for
Gold
Institutions Reserve Now S25,-
100000 Lower Than This
Time Last Year

LONDON, March 1.-THE directors of
the Bank of England at their weekly
meeting today raised the minimum rate
of discount from 3 to per cent. This
action was caused by the continued
foreign demand sfor gold, which con-
siderably depleted the banks reserves
These are now nearly $25,Oo0,0 900 lower
than at the same time last year. and
prospective further Withdrawals of the
the banks holdings.
For some time India has been draw
ing heavily on the available supplies
of gold and considerable sums are still
wanted to move the large crops. In
addition to this demand there is a large
number of foreign issues, including
big delivery of American bonds in eX-
change for British gold to be provided
for Forthcoming internal monetary
requirements also demand the building
up of the reserve.
1t is quite unusual for the bank rate
to be advanced at this time of the year.
No doubt one of the chief causes there
for is the governments failure to col
lect taxes. This made money so plen-
tiful that it weakened continental ex-
change on London and made it easier
for foreign markets to take gold from
this center
Little Surprise Expressed
NEW YORK, March 17.-Leading
fnanciers here manifested little sur
prise at the increase Of the London
bank rate to per cent, intimations to
that effect having been quite general
Yesterday. In some quarters there was
a disposition to accept the advanced
rate as warning to the specula tive
interests responsible for the recent sem
sational rise in rubber shares in the
London market.
The best authorities are agreed that
large proportions of the bonds and
notes recently offered by American
bankers have been placed abroad
Direct sale of bonds by American
bankers to Europe within the last two
months vary widely. but conservative
estimate places the total we'll above
| 500, 900. 900.
That foreign gold will come in ex-
change for these purchases is secuted
in banking circles. where it is pointed
out that Europe's absorption of our
securities to date is but a small Offset
to our debit balance abroad.
international bankers will figure ex-
tensively in the forthcoming issue of
New York City's $50,000.000 AZ per
cent bonds, bids for which will be
opened next week. 1t is not at all un-
likely that fully 40 to so per cent of
this issue will be taken by London and
Paris bankers.

A YEAR IN AN AIRSHIP
IN THE YEAR 2o1o
FIRST PRIZE


Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was clear, warm day in the year
2O1O. 1 was flying along with my air
wings when suddenly found myself
surrounded by brigands and ordered
to throw up my hands. This l accord
ingly did, and then when they found
that [ had no weapons they let me put
my hands down again. They took me
to an air craft, the like OF which had
never seen. 1t had twenty-five pro-
pellers and its every line showed speed.
1t was fitted up with typeograph, a
new invention. They wrote message
to my friends, asking for ransom, but
for some reason could not find them.
I had to stay with them year before
1 was finally released by the aerial
police During that time my disap-
pearance caused much excitement, as
we could see by the aerial bulletins
of which my captors captured good
many.
I found that these brigands never
robbed poor people, but rather gave
freely to those who needed help. Those
who were rich and did not need the
money so much were their only vic
Tins. I remember one time there was
a very rich man who had mortgage
on an aeroplane and the owner of the
aeroplane did not have the money to
pay it Off
So the captain of the brigands gave
the owner the money required and then
waylaid the collector and took the
money back. once we had quite an
exciting adventure. A United States
revenue cutter pursued US, but only
having twenty propellers and handi-
capped by twenty heavy guns, where
we only had ten, we finally escaped to
Jupiter, after exchanging several shots.
1t was on Mars that I was finally
released. One morning we found our
selves surrounded by United States
aerial battleships and ordered to sur
render. We tried ducking under them
and succeeded, too, amid a perfect
rain of shot, with but very little dam
age to their aeroplane, but ran into

TOOK HIS PRETTY RING
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
There was once a band of bandits
who were very mean to a little boy.
His aunt gave him ring with ruby
in it and these bad men took 1t from
him. They took him in a cave and
said:
"Where did you come from?"
He said, Il have just come from my
aunt's."
where did you get that ring?"
my aunt gave it to me. 1t is my
birthday today"
They asked him if his aunt was rich
and he said:
Eyes, she has lots of money"
They let him go, but they said, "If
we catch you again we will chop
your head Off"
The little boy stayed near home
and never went to his aunt's again.
The bandits were there a whole
year. Once they caught young prince
who had beautiful horse and a beau
tiful saddle. And they kept him and
his horse. NO SIGNATURE.

YOUTH DISCOVERS CAVE AND
CAPTURES PRIsoNED GIRL
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In the early Sos, when the rush for
gold toward the west was at its height,
Mr.. Norton took his family across to
the other side OF the Rockies.
They had been there little over a
year when the country became
swarmed with bold robbers.
They went plundering about the
country and when they came to the
home of Mr. Norton they boldly kid
naped Grace, his pretty 15-year-old
daughter.
They would give ner up only by
being paid a large sum, far beyond
his means.
After three or four months away
from his daughter Nr. Norton became
desperate and went all around the
country gathering ammunition and
men, Armed in this way they secured
the woods, driving the robbers before
them.
The robbers had to find shelter, so
they sought that of cave on the side
of a cliff. There was young man
among the rescuers who had discov-
cred their hiding place. Concealed
from the entrance was tunnel about
100 yards long. There was a fiat rock
which led out into the woods.
The robbers sat Grace down behind a
rock. At the first opportunity the
young 'man grabbed Grace and ran
At the top he disconnected the wire
and machinery that was lun to raise
the rock at the entrance to the cave.
He jumped on his horse, putting Grace
in front of him.
When about mile from the cave he
came upon another robber of the band.
He gave Dick quick chase uphill and
down hill over ten miles of country.
Then they entered the woods. Dick
was counting on the men where he
knew they ought to be. The robber
gained steadily until he could feel the
hot breath of the horse.
Summoning up courage he rounded
the curve in the trail, and, to his
great relief, there were the men.
Grace was returned to her father,
and as Dick did not have home he

HELPED A POOR FAMILY
WHOM sRIGANDs HAD ROBBED
HONORABLE MENTION


Dear Aunt Laurie:
am sending you story entitled "a
Year with Band of Brigands."
We had been going through the forest
for many miles. The trees were so
thick and tall that we had. not been
able to tell a sunshiny day from a
cloudy day. We came to large open
place in the forest, where we thought
we would settle for the night.
We all went to gather twigs to build
fire with. While the supper was
cooking we told stories of giants, fairies
and events in the forest.
But we soon settled down for the
night.
The next day was very warm. We
went in the forest where 1t was cool
to gather flowers, berries and nuts.
Some of the toys found a bee nest,
so we had honey also for our dinner.
1t was a delightful place, so we de-
cided to stay there till August, when
we would go to a nearby seashore for
the summer.
One day as we had gathered around
the campfire family of campers came
to us and asked for shelter and food,
which we said we would gladly give
them. We told them that we never
touched poor, homeless people.
The next morning they told us their
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-07

sad story. They said some brigands
had robbed them of everything they
had. They were now homeless and
friendleSs.
We soon fixed a camp wagon for
them good enough to last a week,
which they thanked us kindly for.
The year I spent camping with the
brigands was an adventurous year
can assure you, and should like to
spend another year some time.

on terminal rates in the franchise
