TODAY IN HISTORY

December so, 1861, while the
Civil war was on, the New York
banks decided to suspend specie
payments, holding their hard
iron, silver and gold dollars i'm
the vaults and paying out what
ever they atucally had to in bank
notes. Uncle Sam decided that if
Wall street was going to hang on
to its money he would do the
same, and followed suit with his
treasury. After that it got so that
the people only knew two kinds of
money-paper and chicken-feed
For IS years this went on until
the government finally decided
that it would be safe to permit
real money to go into circulation
again. More or less of it, usual
ly less, has since been seen from
time to time except during the
year of a presidential lection,
when it is apt to shring timidly
into seclusion. You do not have
to believe this if you do not want
to.

Why Wear Hats? The Indians Didn't, and Didn't.
Get Bald Either, Say Defenders of the New Fad

II You See Man Walking Down
the Street Bareheaded, Don't
Kid Him or Sympathize With
Him-He's Doing 1t on Pur-
pose.
Have you gone In for the "no
hat" fad yet? Most fads are ex-
pensive, but here is one that you
can take up and still keep tobacco
money in your clothes. How this
hatless fad can gain a foothold
without producing a lot of sneez-
ing, wheeling, coughing followers
is somewhat of mystery to most
Of us who even catch cold from
setting the milk jars out on the
back stoop unless we take the pre-
caution to protect the roof of our
pilot house with some sort of COW
ering.
Another peculiar feature about
this fad is that large percentage
of the persons who go in for it are
we'll enough fixed financially to af-
ford a flock of new hats every
morning should they care for
them.
1t has been limited that many a
man, who has been going down in
his clothes for the price of a new
suit, shoes and overcoat, or after
purchasing a new fur hat for his
wife, has been obliged to become
no-hat faddist through necessity.
This coming fad has it's ad-
tentages as we'll as it's dis
advantages. On the disadvantage
end is the fact that the faddist
must learn to ignore the "Ain't
you got no hat, Mister?" from
passing kids and bear up under
the disdainful glance of the cloak
room man at the club, who thinks
that the only idea of such a fad is
to deprive him of rightful tip.
On the advantage side you can
walk down town on any wind day
without having to chase a refract-
DRY lid into the gutter or over a
fence. Also you can pass all the
ladies of your acquaintance on a
cold day without being obliged to
remove your hand from a warm
pocket to raise your hat. Likewise
you can go into a restaurant and

in THE PUBLIC EYE

A great many years ago a lowly
German immigrant passed through
the portals of Castle garden.
Mavhap at some time prior to
that he had heard of the splendors
of the imperial court at Berlin,
the beautifully gilded crown and
all that, but those things were not
for him, and history doesn't record
the fact that it grieved him any.
But he became the father of "a
son, destined to appear in the busy
marts of trade near and about the
sacred precincts of Wall street at
the early age of eleven, and in the
capacity of messenger boy, which
he later on shifted to that of in
surance agent, and still later to
that of newspaper publisher.
But during all these days-and
years-this German lad held firm%
ly in his embrace the longing to
go to the fatherland, not as the
returning son of the emigrant. of
long ago, but as the official rep
resentative of America to the
court of the kaiser, which job
would allow him to walk right up
and slap Wilhelm ii on the back
with a joeular Hello, BILL"
which the lowly immigrant would
never have Thought of.
To this end Herman Ridder,
publisher of one of the best known
,of German-American newspapers
in New York city, has contrived
and plotted and waited, 1t is sold.
But white he landed nice fat jobs
for all of his henchmen, from the
Office boy up, called In New York
''the Ridderbund," he has not
made his debut at the Berlin
court as yet.

which is feebly struggling for a

perhaps this would be followed by
a mo collar" fad (great saving on
laundry bills), and about spring a
shoe and stockingless fad might
become inaugurated.
OF course there is a limit, but in
these high cost of living days we
can't help thinking that these no.
hat followers have taken a step in
the right direction.

In enlightened New England in sharp
contrast with "barbarOus Mexico"
when and where Is provision made for
mans friend. the dog? Only a small
proportion Of the public drinking
fountains are so constructed that dogs
can drink from them, and the thirsty
dog must wander disconsolately about
until his sufferings become SO acute
that he is pronounced mad, and the
usual tragedy in the result. The mat
ter is one that can be regulated with
out the aid of the law. Let the house
holder spare a thought for the dog as
we'll as for the horse. A pan OF water
near the house will soon attract at
tentiOn and may be the means OF pre-
venting another one of those "scares
which speak SO Ill for public common
sense.-Haverhill Gazette.
