SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

The first Quakers to come to Amer lea were Mary Fisher and Ann Aus tin, who landed in Boston this date, July 11th, in 1656. The two women came from England by way of Barba- dos, and their arrival in Boston creat- ed consternatfon among the Puritans Their trunks were searched and their books burned before they were per- mftted to go ashore, in the custody of the common hangman. They were then cast into prison and strip ped of their clothes, so that their per sons might be examined for the body marks of witches. The Puritan mag istrates were anxious to discover such marks, and made a careful search Of the naked, covering women, but, not finding any proof of witchcraft, the women were turned loose and expelled from Massa chusetts as heretics. Other Quakers followed, and some were so enthusiastic in advocating the new faith as to make nuisances of them selves. Many of them were hanged, including Mary Dyer, a young and pretty widow. It is to be remarked, however, in attenuation of the seem ing severity of Puritan justice, that the woman's skirts were tied careful 1y about her ankles before she was hanged, as it. was feared that in her death struggles she might disarrangc her clothing and so do damage to the morals of the assembled crowd.

THE PRESIDENTS
 CURRENCY MESSAGE
New York Mining Age.)

(New York Mining Age.)
 In the NecroIogy of Wall street fu- ture historians will undoubtedly chron- icle the death-stroke of the Money Trust as of the date when President Wilson's currency measure becomes a law.
 Wall street money lenders with Ma tional bank charters, who since the first Mckinley administration have controlled the cash and credit of the country and throttled ambition and enterprise wherever it failed to bring grist to their mill, are in sack cloth and ashes.
 They have '.gathered'' at the ex- pense of the country to that po1nt where the United States boasts of a larger percentage of naulti-millionaires than any other country in the world, and their race is about run
 Hereafter cash and credit will be more evenly divided, and the little fellow will be afforded chance in commerce and industry 10 snow the stuff he is made of
 The Eastern newspaper chorus against the currency bill has qu1eteo down. At first the onslaught on the president was vicious. It fell on dear ears Now the subsidized agents or the biIlionaires' club have changed tbeir tune and are in the melting mood.
 Newspapers which are known to hold a brief for the interests" first c1amored against the bill on the ground that gold alone should be the basis of the country's currency. Lat terly they have found fault with the idea that it is possible for governors of states and other laymen who will be appointed by the President to con troI issuance of the new currency to intelligently and impartially adninis- ter the trust
 Heretofore the men who have ac- tually decided who should receive credit and who not have been sordidly engaged in the business of leaning money alone for the profit that would accrue. The concentrated power which

 for success given by John D. Rocke- fe11er, oil magnate, who passed his seventy-fourth milestone this week.
 Advertise is the advice given to ambitious young business men by John Wanamaker, merchant prince, who celebrates his seventy-fifth birthday to- day.
 Gaveat empto-1et the buyer be careful-was the mercantile motto when John Wanamaker opened his first little store over half century ago. He was the pioneer in the new nor ality that now characterizes retail merchandising the world over. He square deal. And he let the public know all about the new methods by a liberal use of newspaper space.
 Today the Wanamaker stores in Phil ade1phia and New York are among the greatest in the world-and still among the most liberal users of print CTS ink, the principal ingredient in the fWanamaf1er recipe for success.
 MT. Wanamaker was born in Phil adeIphia, July II, 1889. He was des- cended on his fathers side from Ger mans who fled the fatherland to es- cape religious persecution, and on his mothers side from Hugenot who left France for the same reason. His fath- CT was a brickmaker. and young John worked in the bric9xyard when not att tending school
 At fourteen the future muIti-million- aire merchant left school to become er- rand boy in a bookstore. His income was increased by bottling and selling cologne He was clothing salesman and Y. M. c. A. secretary in Phila- delphia, and also made a trip to In- diana and through the South, before he started business for himself in his native city.
 MT. WanamaIoer was twenty-three when he founded the clothing house that he established the one-pr1ce sys- tenn and the money -back-if- -not-satls- fled policy, things unheard of in the clothing business His rivals, she'd ding crocodile tears, predicted speedy failure.
 The new concern speedily gained an international reputation for its ad- vertising on a scale which few stores had equalIed at that time. From the first, every statement made in the ad- vertising was strictly true, and the public soon discovered that fact, and handson1ly rewarded the young mer- chant who had capitalized the old pro- verb, Honesty is the best policy.
 The Philadelphia department store was started in 1876.1 and twenty years later MT. Wanamaker invaded New York, succeeding A. T. Stewart, and vastly enlarging the business
 As stmaster- General in the cabinet of President Harrison, MT. Wanamaker advocated the establishment of a par eel post, and urged the government ownership of all telegraph lines and their operation as a part of the postal system.
