CANADA WANTS CLEAN MONEY
Careless Habits Across the Border
Have Bred Disagreeabie
Conditions

Canada is now more than ready for
clean currency. The dirty bills and
defaced coins which are circulating
among the people of the country add
no credit to the good name of the
Dominion. II sanitary considerations
do not suggest something better then
pride of country should rise to the
occasion.
Canada has probably the most dis
reputable medium of exchange of any
nation which pretends to civilization.
In this the government itself Is the
chief offender and has been during
the changing administrations since
confederation. Dominion dollar and
two dollar notes are permitted to cir
culate until they reek with dirt and
scarcely conform in size to the new
er notes with which they are counted
from time to time.
1t Is where silver is used in great
est quantities, however that the de-
bauching of the currency is most no
ticeable. Plugged half dollars, fiat
tened dimes. worn quarters and
crnmpled five cent pieces are showed
on In the channels Of business. The
church collection plates and street
railway boxes have become recep-
tacles for much Of the smallest OF 1t.
The plugged half dollar given in
change by one street car conductor
to a passenger is refused on another
car.
So long as defaced money was ac-
cepted freely 1t caused no inconven-
ience, no loss or embarrassment. 1t
was simply unsightly In the larger
centres all this is changing. People
will not accept defaced money-if
they know it. II Is positive handi-
cap to business and constant jar to
the self-respect of the man who tries
to pass it along. In the meantime
there is laxity at many of the gate
ways to tourist travel from the south
This results in the infusion of a
great amount of United States cur.
rency into Canadian trade channels
which may or may not be objection
able according to the point of view,
but which also brings along deluge
Of defaced United States coin. and
this cannot be circulated south Of
the line.
1t is the business of the banks and
the government to purge the cur
rency.
The design Of Caasdas silver mons
ey is commonplace. II lacks distinc-
tiveness and 1t is wanting in Canad-
ian sentiment There is plenty of
material upon which to base a de-
sign which means more and looks
better than the present issue. The
beaver, maple leaf, the shield Of the
provinces, the flag and many other
things night be made to play part
In new design. Toronto World.

What Authors Earn.

The statement recently made, on
authority, that Mrs. Rice has already
received in royalties the enormous
sum OF 100000 from the sale OF her
amusing story. Mrs. Wigs Of the
Cabbage Patch" must be reyela-
tion to those who scott at the pen

startling even that the fortune this
one book has brought to its gifted
authoress Is the fact that as the
story only contains 10000 words lit

an industrious week of inspirationl, (,
Mrs. Rice has alresdy received S. for

this that a pen may not be veri-

Although Mrs. Rice has established
a record of profitable writing which
may long remain unchallenged, she

Little Minister" has, so far. yielded
the splendid revenue OF $4,000 thou

that It is comparatively easy mat

hour, such rate OF remuneration Is
one to marvel at.
These two literary records stand in
class by themselves. unapproached
and probably unapproschable: but
there are several other authors
whose pen earnings are phenomenal.
The late Glover Cleveland and the
late Mr.. Hay have frequently receiv-
ed $1,000 for an article Of fewer than
1000 words And not long ago Col
lier's Weekly paid Rudyard Kipllng
$1,000 for short poem on the Russo
Japanese War. For eight short stor-
les published seven years ago Mr.
Kipling received $4,000, the full

Such rates as these, which are only
approached by the Strand Magazine

were few more scattering shots, then
the enemy made off.
In time we left Charles on guard and
went down to the cabin, while Dupon-

fiesh-wound in his forearm but, slight as
1t was, it seemed to turn him into our
hero. 1t was the first blood of the war.
When the wound was attended to we

a pistol In his hand, and warm blood
beating In his veins.
