CORNERS IN COINS
Odd Schemes That Were Worked
by Willy Operators.
CLEVER RUSE OF A NEW BANK

y Won the Good VIII of the Town BY
"oblisins" Its Citizens After Corner
ing All Its Metal Monsy-A Russian
prophet" Who Made Rich Haul.
There have occurred from time to
time in various countries all manner
Of corners" in coins, traceable to all
manner of queer origins
| Some years ago an individual named
Peterson established in boom town
Of a new state bank that was a
branch of a larger institution else
where. AS, for special reasons, the
people Of the new town would have
nothing to do with the new bank the
outlook for Peterson was gloomy one.
After reflection he hit upon a happy
expedient. He sent out men commits
stoned to go to all the stores of the
place to get change for greenbacks and
banknotes. In a little while he had
all the coined money in the town, the
result being, Of course, that the good
people of the coming metropolis were
flush of greenbacks, but had no
change"
Some one suggested that Peterson's
bank might possess some of the coinet
pieces, and accordingly rush was
made there, where every one was
obliged with silver. The ruse Of the
willy Peterson had the desired effect,
as the next morning his bank was filled
with depositors.
Superstition has frequently been
the basis of corner In coins Of par.
ticular denomination. A remarkable
case of this KIND occurred In southern
Russia in 1908, There appeared at
Berdiansk. on the sea of Azcv, per
son proclaiming himself a prophet, and
as such he announced his intention OF
redeeming the world Among the
queer doctrines advanced by this indi-
vidual was included the decree that all
his followers must retain all FIVE ko-
peck pieces issued in the year 1861. the
year of the emancipation of the serfs
They were by reason of that event
held to be holy.
1t was not long before the ignorant
peasants in the vicinity became con-
WINGED that all pieces Of that denomi-
nation should be taken to the prophet
for preservation. The heaven sent one
further announced that should the
fatherland get into difficulty every one
of the coins in question would turn to
gold" and thus save the empire.
And so 1t happened that over al
area of 300 miles Russian peasants
were feverishly collecting the holy"
pieces and turning them over to the
prophet VIXEN he had gathered
goodly number Of the coins he de-
camped.
In a way the Russian government
may be said to corner Its own coins
of one denomination. Each year 1t
minis a limited number of bronze
pieces Of the nominal value Of one
fourth of kopeck, about one-eighth
Of cent. AS these coins are practi-
cally not In circulation, only few
are Issued.
It Is really an easy matter In small |
towns TO corner particular coin. AZ
n Welsh holiday resort members of
the local band became so indignant at |
the large proportion of halfpennles In
their 'silver collections" that they |
locked up every halfpenny received
The consequence was that In a few |
weeks there was hardly a haifpenny
In the town. Then the band reaped |
q harvest of coins of higher value.
Cornerng gold coins demands
capital that few men possess. Some

During the school year recently
closed the children of the public
schools have saved over $500 and
deposited it in the savings bank
through the stamp system, whereby
the children could save any sum from
a penny up. The plan as put in eff
feet by Treasurer c. H. Dewey in con-
junction with Supt. Varney and the
school authorities, has far exceeded
the expectations of those Interested.
The money is largely saved by the
children below the seventh grade who
are at the most susceptible age and,
when a habit of thrift once developed
is likely to help them through life. In
spite of all the wall about high cost
of living and increased prices of the
necessaries of life, no cure has been
found and even the cause Is Ia dis
pute The lesson probably is that
the cost of living has permanently
advanced and that this increase must
hereafter be taken into consideration
in all walks of life. Under such cir.
cumstances habits of thrift and
economy are likely to be even more
valuable in the future than in the
past and a consistent effort to incour-
age these habits is not only common
dabe but, more and more essential.
