Many odd letters reach the Bank of
England. and Murphy's letter was
weeded out of the governors mail be
fore reaching him.
A few days later the bank received
by express ten sovereigns wrapped In
a piece of paper. on which was written
In pencil the number of the box in the
strong room from which they had
been taken. The money in the box
was counted and found to be short b,
ten sovereigns-
The incident excited a commotion
meeting In the governors private room
was called to consider the loss and
how 1t could have occurred. No one
dreamed that there was hole in the
floor Of the strong room. and no one
could suggest probable way by
which the coins sent to the bank had
been removed. While the officials
were considering. John Murphy mp
peared before an official at desk and
said that he wished to see the COVER
nor. Having been questioned by the
startled official. he said that he was
the man who had sent the ten sover'
eigns to the bank and was there To
tell how he got them.
The official had not heard of the send
ing Of the coins, for that had been
kept q profound secret. He told John
Murphy to move on. and John did so.

again. He was just about to be taken

a prominent official Of the bank wh'
knew the secret of the returned soy
ereigns happened to inquire his offense
Within five minutes the ragged sew
er searcher was standing in the gov
ernor's room confronting number OF
sleek looking directors. He was per
mitted to speak and told the assembly
how he had got into the strong room
from the sewer and how he or any one
else who knew the secret might go and
come at will.
If the receipt of the sovereigns had
caused a commotion this information
raised a whirlwind of excitement. A
committee was sent to examine tht
strong room and returned confirming
Murphy's information. John was held
for two reasOns-the money must be
counted to make sure that he had not
appropriated any Of it. and if he should
tell the secret the matter would make
much greater sensation among the
public than even it did among the Off.

The count required long while. and
during the time it was in progress the
sewer was repaired and the room made

A Discovery
By MARY L. BLACKISTON

One day a man stood In London be-
side one of those holes left for the use
OF persons who descend to the sewers
The place was In an unfrequented por-
ton of the city. and there was no one
near him. He looked about him and
listened for a football. then. producing
crowbar, inserted one end under the
round metal cover of the hole and. lift
ing 1t, descended. permitting the cover
to fall back into its place. Once in
the sewer he drew from under his
ragged coat a lantern.
John Murphy made his living by
picking up articles that. having got
into the sewer. were lost to their own
ers. Soon he found an umbrella. Ii
was covered with sewer mud, but was
Of silk with an deliberately carved han
die. John knew that when new it was
cleaned he might get half Of that for
1t. This was unusual luck. He went
on looking about him for other articles.
but after an hours walk had found
nothing. He was about to leave the
sewer when he stumbled on the big
gest find in his life-no. the biggest
find in the world.
He came to a place where a small
piece of the masonry had fallen In
Pointing the bullseye Of his lantern up

ture left vacant and disclosed broken
floor composed of marble squares. Pill

him to get his hands on what was

found himself in a room. Throwing
his light about him. he saw a number
of boxes, some of which were loosely
covered. Examining the contents Of
one of them. he threw his light on gold
coins Other boxes contained like con
tents. In the room was treasure of
inestimable value.
1t was now night. Murphy wished
to emerge by manhole near the
break and took the risk of doing so.
Several persons saw him, but thought
nothing of the matter. AS soon as he
got up on the street he saw straight be-
fore him the Bank of England. Then
he knew that he had been in the
strong room Of the largest banking
institution in the world.

bank received note addressed to him.

WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM

1t is interesting, and in some in
| stances amusing, to read the various
| opinions upon this subject that appear
from time to time in the press of the
| country A San Francisco paper al
| leges that an important reason why
| boys leave the farm is that prosperous
farmers send their girls away to col
ege and the boys want to get the city
polish demanded of them by the edu-
Gated girls. This argument loses its
force by the fact that many more
farm boys than farm girls 90 away to
college. The number of the latter is
annually increasing but it still far be
hind the number Of the former that
reach the college doors
The Breeders Gazette discusses this
subject at length and among other
things says:
. Some boys 30 to the city because
they are predestined to 90. We need
not swallow the theological theory of
lpredestination in order to accept this
Square pegs are whitfield out on the
farm that will fit only the square holes
N the city. 1t would be a thousand
; pitles to try to make them fit the
round holes in the country. The city
would atrophy if ii did not receive
invigorating streams of country blood.
The difficulty here is not in the funda-
mental fact. 1t les in the application.
, Many are called but comparatively few
are chosen. The farm boy who turns
his face cityward must be essentially

If he is attracted by the mere glitter

S tional to block the cityward path OF
some farm boys as it is to put a briel

The Prosperity of
Vermont Savings Banks

Hon. i. 1. Williams, our State
Bank Examiner, has recently given
is most flattering showing in re-
gard to the growth Of our Vermont
Savings Banks. He says the in
crease during the past year has
been the largest Of any year in the
history Of our Savings Banks-in
round numbers, 100000.
The people of our little common
wealth have not only been wonder
fully prospered during the past
year, but they have been laying
aside some of the fruits Of that
prosperity for rainy day.
Go back six years, to 1907, we
ind that the total deposits in all the
Savings Banks in Vermont on the
first day of July of that year were
S57, 444, 294,48; on the first day Of
July, 1913, they were $87 YEA
so gain of more than 80 per cent
in the six years-a most encourage
ing showing.
A few Of the more prosperous
Banks in the State show a much
higher percentage of gain. For in
stance, the Hyde Park Savings
Bank, on the first day of July,
1907, had SS44,158.34 in deposits.
Six years later, on the first day of
July, 1913, those deposits had in
creased practically three-fold to
be exact, they were on that date
S2,523,922.73.
Had the growth in deposits in
all the banks in the state increased
i'll the same wonderful ratio as the
Hyde Park Bank, they would have
today amounted, in round numbers,
to one hundred and seventy mil
lion dollars, or substantially what
they now really are.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank
has had a growth that is simply
/ phenomenal, and probably has nc
parallel in any country village ii
the United States.
One does not need go far to dis
cover the reason for this. The de
posting public is proverbially yer,
