A LIE CARRIED ON ITS FACE

1t has been the custom of official
Of the treasury department! at Wash
ington to graduate with regularity
to highly paid and responsible posi-
tions IF Wall street and the propcsI-
lions of Wall street in regard 20
Legislation concerning banking have
always had able support from the
Washington officials of the treasury
department, the comptroller5 office
and the mint. Now George f.
= Roberts, director of the United
States mint comes out with the
following statement:
"Tnis country has the creates,
stock of gold in the world. 1t mas
the greatest ST ore of gold in re.
serves, and its reserves are effective
for tho maintenance of its papel
currency at par, but lamentably IL
effective for the support of its
fabric IF credit. We have no or
ganization for the support of crcui b,
or by which our ample supplies OF
gold may be used for that purpose.
The country loses tue
prestige and potentially that would
belong to it if it was a banking re-
serve by which additional currency
might be issued when needed in
stead of an inelert, lifeless mass,
whose power is lost in its scattered
ownership"
All this is said to back up the eff or
to getsome sort Of an Aldrich scheme
passed and nothing more miseaG-
Jog to the ordinary man could have
been advanced. The gold in this
country is stored in the treasury
because the people prefer to carry
gold certificate in their vest
pockets to "toting" around a 10; OF
heavy metal in purses and bags.
That gold is as much in circulation
as if not an ounce of it was stored
in the treasury vaults WHAT the
director of the mint advocates i
turning it over to the banks, with
out interest, for them to loan out
t. tn, people at Interest and pat
that interest in their Golfers.
That woul d be very fine thing
fer the banks, but it would leave
the gold certificate 10 circulate
without any reserve behind them
an " thout a z Iarlntee and every
one Ct them would b. fraud and
carry a lie on the face of it. Be-
sides that it would increase the
amount Of money in circul ,t;Un to
the amount Of gold certificates for
both the gold and certificates would
be incircu alton at the same time
and the certifica ,es would be what
the bankers used to call fiat
money" Only it would be money
that bad no fiat" behind il. 4
wilder scheme was never proposed
to any peopl st. Joseph Observer.

into a drawer Of your desk with the others
you have gathered since then and the book
is still empty. It Is one OF the little things
you haven't done.
Close neighbor to this are the letters you
have slowed away to look over and read
some day, the drawers and boxes ruM of old
correspondence that has accumulated and
you know you don't care to keep but must
glance through before consigning it to the
flames. Altogether likely It Is that there
are the receipts for paid up bills and the
bank vouchers which need to be sorted and
fled. All little tasks to begin with, but
swelling to larger proportions with each
month Of neglect.
Another section OF little things awaits
closet. Why do you keep those broken and
cracked pieces in a kind OF hospital cornerf
Not because you don't mean to have sorue o
OF them n1ended and to throw the rest into
the ash barrel but because you plan to go
through them some day and decide which
are worth mending and which are beyond re-
pair. One Of the trifies you can do any time
like looking through your dodi1es and de-
terninfng which oan be caught UP wtth,aL
stitch or darned and which are only fit to
be laid aside for OLD linen. Your towels and
bed clothing need a similar inspection, and
when you have done 1t there will be a paroel
Of worn pieces that would be q boon to some
invalid. but the work OF putting 1t up and
sending it off is one of those miserable " lit

Waiting for Time and Chance.

Don't you know that your piece drawer
needs to be put in order? Are there not
scraps of various sorts which ehould go to
the rag bag else be rolled into neat par
cells and arranged in a way that would make
It an easy thing to find them in a hurryf
How long would the task require? Perhaps
half an hour-but because IL is such a little
thing you let IT wait until g. more converl-
lent season You put Off In the same way
which would be welcome to some Door wonn-
who could make them over and rejoice In
the chance. -' It's just one of the little
things I've been trying to get time to do,"
you explain.
You are waiting for time and chance, too,
long you have left that ggnmpe hanging
unworn In the closet because It is short two
or three hooks and eyes. and you never
think of 1t except when you are IN a hurry
and SO wear something else7 Is 1t a week or
a month that you have delayed putting
new braid on the bottom OF that petticoat
or facing the half worn skirt? Why don't
you take your second best shoes to the cob
bier and have new heels put on them instead
Of wearing your good shoes every day be-

don't mean only In the repeti-
ton Of daily small duties Those
we take for granted It becomes the habit
of our lives to accept the routine of
the things that must be done over and
over again. We condense the outline OF
our actions somewhat az Mr.. Podsnap In
Our Mutual Friend " did his. when his
world was comprised IN getting up at g.
shaving close at quarter past, breakfast
ing at 8, going to the city at 10. coming
home at half past 5. and dining at T."
The little things to which have refer
ence juSt now are not an essential part OF
any one function OF our living but rather
accompany and cucumber them all. For
they are the trif1es which accumulate all
about as and that we see on every side
and never get fully rid Of
Zach one OF Us has her special store IN
addition to the general set which are to be
found in every home. Consider the latter
first. To begin with is generally the stack
Of magazines that we are always meaning
TO Co something with. They are all about
the house. We have made a beginning
perhaps Of sorting them and putting them
together. Some one would be glad to have
these, we say vaguely, and 50 refrain from
dumping them into the waetebasket or the
furnace. But we don't pick them all out
and tie them in bundle or pack them in
q box and write card to the Salvation
army to come and get them or look up in
the Corner the name Of some one hunger
ing for reading matter and ship them of
to where they w4H be OF some good. Just
one Of the little things we put or doing!
Then there are the magazines we mean
to have bound one Of these days. Perhaps
they are technical OF scientific publica-
ton which Will be of value for reference.
Dou'e give those away! we order when
there In talk of beStowing part of the
accumulation on some one who would care
for them II may need them in my busi-
ness some day and have saved them to
be bound" But because it Is g. little thing
to collect the scattered numbers and take
them to the binders we let day after day
clip by without doing It.

Have 1 told you the old story OF the
wealthy farmers wife who was so pros
trated by his death that she neglected to
give the place the personal SUPERVISION u
had hitherto had? After while she began
to nottee how every thing had gone to wreck
and ruin; the house was running down. the
farm itself was deterdorating. and the trim,
prosperous appearance on which shc had
prided herself was gone.
In her distress she made a pilgrimage to
the wise woman of the community. laid the
trouble before her ana asked for a spell
10 remedy conditions. The wise woman
gave It solernnly. Each morning the fa<m-
er's widow was to so Into each or the -FOUR
corners Of every room and building on the
premises and stand with her elbow in the
corner looking about the room while she
counted nve and twenty slowly.
q
Seeing NTH Strangers Eyes.
You can guess how the prescription
worked During the time the counting de-
nanded the widow had time to see the
that needed cleaning up. the repairs that
ought to be made. She perceived as never
bsfore how the men and maids had slighted
their duties. and by the time she came out
of her corners she brought her employees
up with a round turn Her seeing eyes mad
como back to her and in a little while she
had restored the farm and its appurte-
nances to their former condition and pros
perity had returned to her.
Something like this would not be amiss
for some of the rest of us. We might not
literally stand in the corners and count
nve and twenty, but we might achieve an
equivalent. For my part find it extremely
profitable once in while TO take chair
in one of the rooms and look about me as
though with the eyes of a stranger. It Ii
astonishing how many new aspects present
themselves to me. how many small defects
1 discover which had overlooked or taken
for granted in my cursory glance, when my
thoughts had been occupied with some
thing else than the objects beheld.
Bear in mind. however, that, to quote the
Scotch saying. Many a mickle makes a
muckle" All these little things. inconsid-
cradle in themselves, swell to a rather for
l1ddable sum total when you attempt to set
them all right at once. The worst of 1t is
that they repeat themselves every day and
there is a constantly recurring series of tri-
fies demanding attention.
The only way Is to turn in and have one
" big killing" get the house to rights and
then undertake the little things as they pre-
sent themselves day by day, before they
have the chance to assume overwhelming
proportions This may be done If you form
the habit of looking upon nothing as too
small to do the moment it presents itself
and to keep at It without faltering or fall
ing.
