several years of unusual friendliness,
the mackerel seemed to take an aver.

New England coast, and the catch
has been dwindling ever since. In

In 1910 the entire catch was only
2,710 barrels

As the cost Of neat and game has

Beauty 0rd
the Doctor
By Catherine Coocc

Copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary
Press.)
The young doctor drew in a great
breath of country air. The garden at
the rear of the old home in which he
was to spend his vacation was mass
of scented flowers. Roses, zenias
dahlias all clustered about like little
joyous souls rowing in the moonlight.
A refreshing rain had cooled the
air, and because the night was beau
tiful, and the doctor young, his
thoughts turned toward the girl to
whom his heart had lately responded
Because his mind was in chaotic
condition regarding the depth of his
feeling toward Rose Langdon, DR..
Emery had come to the solitude Of the
old manor house Oh Long Island.
His thoughts, for the moment bent
chiefly on the beauty of the night,
were easily interrupted. He paused
and listened.
In the walled garden next door a
soft swshing sound made regular har-
mony to his car. He drew nearer the
wall and looked over through clump
OF bushes. lis eyes opened wide and
he leaned cautiously away from the
moon rays.
Was she wrath or blood and
bone girl who trailod back and forth
over the rain-soaked grass? DR..
Emery, SO completely startled out OF
his everyday, humdrum city life, could
not definitely answer the question.
He watched with fascinated attention.
The girls attire was white and
clingy and traily, and as she moved
across the long grass her bare feet
peeped forth. Those little feet found
a pool of water left by the recent
rain. and gleeful chuckle fell from
the girls lips.
"Insane!" muttered the young doc
tor. by Jove! What a pity-she is
as beautiful as the lilies.
"They toll not, neither do they
spin," thought the doctor, and the
pity dropped out of his thoughts. the
girl seemed SO absolutely happy, SO
evidently joyous in this condition Of
the mind. After humming few notes
Of lifting melody the girl tripped

peared.
DR.. Emery frowned, partly because
the garden seemed less beautiful and
partly because he had been inter.
rupted in his attempt to diagnose this
peculiar form of brain malady. The
puzzled frown remained as the doctor
returned to the house.
At an early hour Of the morning
there came to the doctors ears that
same tinkling laugh. He jumped hur-
riedly from his bed and looked out Of
the window.
The sun was a great ball In the
eastern sky. and 1t cast its dawning
color over the girl in the next garden.
This is assuredly a peculiar case" "

fascinated eyes upon the girl. She

ping quickly about among the great
hydrangea bushes. From time to
time she would select blossom and
hold 1t in two caressing hands, then
suddenly bury her face in its soft
depths. II was at such moments that
the little laugh rang out. The doctor
watched her fuss over the tiny white
petals that chung to her eyes and lips
and nose.
"She is just plum dippy!" calculated
DR.. Emery, with tinge of irritation
that she should be getting SO much
JOY out of living. Il suppose if | dis
covered a cure for her she would be
as grumpy then as she is happy now
The girl then went down into the
back garden and selected an ear OF
corn from the stocks, which she ate
nibbling it with apparent relish.
Then she sampled peas, carrots and
beets.
Mud and all! Most extraordinary!
For the first time in his career DR.
Emery regretted that he was not an
insanity expert. "She seems to thrive
on it-never saw such beauty in all
my life." was the doctors thought AZ
he crept back into bed after the girl
had returned to the house. He lay q

During the day he watched for vari

sun was high the girl came out with

ALDRlCH ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION:

.ITTa HE address at the Board of Trade banquet last night by for
mer Senator Aldrich WAS a mastery and lucid exposition
of the Monetary Commission plan for reform of our national
banking and currency system. Nj. AIdrich made the plan plain 10
the comprehension of the average ma and enlightened many of
his hearers who had failed TO grasp its details. The question, as
Mr. Aldrch said, is one more for business men and wage earners
than for bankers. who can take care of themselves, but who desire
a stable and elastic currency system. Not since the Napoleonic era
has there been any serious monetary disturbance in European
countries, because there the banking systems provide means 10
sustain credits, and therefore panics such as periodically ocenr in
the United States cannot happen. In times of stress those who
are worthy of credit get il. In the United States when the crisis
comes credit is destroyed. The $4,000 banks hug their cash re-
serves and credit goes to the wall. We cannot borrow the plan
of the central bank from Europe, but we M take lessons from
the experience of all the nations and adopt an American system
that will work as adyantageously as the European. What
losses the nation has sustained by it's parties are beyond calcuia
|tion. They include n arrested development which robbed the
country of vast benefits. Lessons so costly should teach wisdom
to the nation and its rulers. The whole trouble in the case of a
panic lies in the word fear. With confidence destroyed the legiti
mate functions of the banks cease. Ian New York when the bank
reserves go below % per cent. there ire n o more credits. The
reserves are scattered among $4,000 banks and in a great
emergency, when the banks only sohcitude is to increase them,
they are, as Mr.. Aldrich says, absolutely useless Concentrate
these reserves. centralize their control and make them available for
use TO business men, the same a S European banks do in emergencies.
Credit will then be preserved and panics averted. The proposed
plan contemplates the establishment of a standard of commercial
|psper which will be negotiable anywhere and be absolutely secure.

The plan to establish American banks abroad to do American bust

1t is hoped that the Mayors Asso-

matter of abolishing railroad grade
crossings TO a finish and obtain the
relief that is needed. In municipalities
where the grade crossings are largely
to be found 1t will also be noticed That
there is an appalling list Of fatalities
and injuries at these crossings.
The grade crossing evil has been
placed before the Legislature many
