BOY BURNED
By Phosphorus w h h He
Found and Placed in
His Pocket

Deadwood, Aug. 23.-But for his
proximity to a creek, into which he
jumped, Everett Waugh, a 15-year-old
boy of this city, would have lost his
life by a peculiar accident. As 1t is,
he was seriously burned about the
head, body and hands. Young Waugh
was out berrying a few miles from
the city and in the creek he found
some chunks of phosphorus that come
one had cached there. Taxing them
out of the water he placed them in his
pocket, ignorant of the effects. As
soon as the water evaporated his clothes
burst into flames and in trying to put
out the fire he scattered some of the
phosphorus about his head, and the
hair was burned off. Suffering agony,
the boy had presence of mind enough
to jump in the creek aud. yelling for
help. he was rescued only after great
patches Of flseh had been burned nom
his body near the heart and on the
thighs. He was brought home and is
recovering.

business is that of carrying specula-
tive transactions, largely on the New
York stock exchange.
The theory advanced is that sucn
loans are liquid. Undoubtedly this is
true of a single loan. because ii is
payable on call and secured by collat-
eral for which there is a ready mar
ket. But when a sufficient number
of these loans are called at the same
time, a situation develops in which
the loans are not liquid at all, because
the very calling of a large number
OF loans knocks the bottom out OF the
market and spells the sale OF the col
lateral. A panic follows this condi-
ton.
Reserve money should be invested
in bills OF short maturity based on
liquid assets. Under the terms OF
the pending legislation, the annual
fall stringency in money, for instance,
would be relieved by the issue OF gov
eminent notes through the federal
reserve banks. These notes would be
secured by the reserve money invest
ed in the active life of our commerce,
in the safest and most liquid assets.
namely, the agricultural, Industrial
and commercial paper.
1T is estimated that between $50
and 800 millions of dollars will be
taken from New York to be dfstrib-
uted throughout the United States in
the II reserve districts. Yet because
of the manner in which this money
is held today, only a few men will
be hurt by the distribution, but the
country at large will be greatly bene-
fitted by coming into its own.
with the reserves mobilized, the
federal reserve banks are an absolute
power to stop panics; they will have
the basis of an elastic currency. and

cies money can be shifted from one
part of the country to another, pro-

deemable in lawful money on demand.
The security behind our currency
must be such that it can be readily
liquidated without forcing sales and
without depending upon the willing
ness of investors to buy. In other
words, the security behind our cur
rency must be liquid assets, not fixed
