at the city hall that the work of paw
ing the Fallsway will begin on or about
the 18th Of next month. Once started.
the paving will be pushed as rapidly as
the laying Of the storm-water sewer
mains will permit. AS the Fallsway is
to be one Of the main traffic routes of
the city-the line OF least resistance be-
tween the central railroad terminals and
the water front-the paving will be Of
granite block.
The relentless march Of progress has
from time to time swept away other
historic landmarks OF Baltimore. but
never has there vanished q landmark

history OF the city than Jones Falls But
none will grieve when the historic stream

A Parable.
From the Hartford Courspt.

Once there was man who came to the
bank and passed i'm for credit a fat roll
of bills. His deposit slip was made out
for $2:is. The cashier at once detected
counterfeits He counted out 1ol bad
bills. The man seized them and crammed
them back into his pocket with a grin.
over his shoulder he winked at some
friends who were standing near. Then
he Missed between his teeth that anyway
the other bills We're all right And he
pressed upon the cashier to make exam
ination of them.
One after another was found counter
feit and was handed back. until only
seventy-two We're left. The man grew
more excited. He clenched his fists and
threatened violence. He said the di-
rectors must pass upon the money and
say If 1T was good. The cashier, being
courteous. submitted thes matter to the
board. They called the experts in Some
of the bills were better made than others
and had a show of being genuine They
put them under the microscope. Not one
could stand the test. The whole bunch
was bad. They told the cashier to pass
them back. and the man was not arrest
ed. for he had once been a favored client
of the bank.
But the man was angry and began
to say fraud" and thief and liar"
shouted that the bank was a den of
robbers. He said he knew the first
bunch OF stun was bad-the 101 that
he had still stuffed in hts pockets. He
was making no kick about that. They
had caught him with the goods. and
again he grinned a savage grin. And
the next lot-he was not saying much
about that. But the seventy-two he
had left on the counter! They were all
right! Some OF them were. He wanted
credit. and by all that was holy he
voked the Ten Commandments on his
side At least two OF the bills wer,
good. as good as gold from Cali
fornia. and the bank that wouldn't
give him credit could go to smash!
He'd let the public know.
He was SO furious with rage and
swore SO stoutly, this counterfeiter did.
that some Of the folks for a little
while believed him.
