NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Bank Examiner and the Bag of Old Silverware

The late George S. Coo, who was
for many. years president of one o. the
leading American banks and who was
often in the Civil War days in con-
sultation with the secretary of the
treasury, Salmon P. Chase, who made
Mr. Goes office his headquarters when
he visited New York, called my at
ention one afternoon to large TT lck
which was backed up in front of the
entrance to a safe-deposlt institution
upon which were some fifty bars of
the shape of pig-iron bars, but which
glistened in the sunlight.
You will observe" said Mr.. Coe,
that there seems to be nobody watch
ing that truck and yet every one of
those bars is practically pure silver
The weight of the bars makes watch
fulness unnecessary. 1t would take
two men to lift one and then they
could not carry 1t at more rapid
pace than slow walk. 1t is bullion.
There was a time in the old days "
continued MIR. Coe, before the ma
tional banks were organized when the
State banks. especially of New Eng
land and of New York, carried all of
their reserves In specie. The specie
consisted usually of about 10 per cent.

the year when Nathaniel p. Banks
was governor of Massachusetts You
may remember that Governor Banks
was Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington a year or
two before he became governor OF
Massachusetts In after years, when
he became prominent as commander
of an important division of the Union
army, he used sometimes to tell his
friends of an incident that occurred
while he was governor. which he
never recalled without amusement.
ut seems that one of the State
banks OF Massachusetts had as ar
important customer q man whose
business 1t was to buy and sell pre-
cious metals and to deal in specie
In those days a merchant who dealt
in specie was quite an important per
son In the larger financial centres
There was at that time a State
bank examiner in Massachusetts
whose pomposity, Inconsistencies
and self dignity accustomed a great
deal of amusement and, I expect
amused Governor Banks himself. He
was a man who leaned backwards
almost in his demonstration of his
personal integrity, but he was a goot
bank examiner. One day he appeared
at the office of a State bank saying
that he had come to make his Gus

was brought in canvas bags which

One Of the most happily married

Oscar L., of Sweden and Norway. and
this in spite of the fact that Oscar
married the girl whom his father had
chosen for HIM to marry, the Prin-
cess Josephine of Leuchtenberg, who
was born March IA, 1907. Josephine
was the granddaughter and name

was the daughter of Prince Eugene,
Josephine's son by her first marriage,
and she was the granddaughter by
her mother of the King of Bavaria.
So. in 1922, when Oscar, crown
Prince of Sweden and Norway, was
IN search OF an eligible princess-or
rather when Oscars father was in
search of a princess for h,m-tne
most desirable candidate for the alli-

Accordingly with this choice in
mind Oscar started out on a long
voyage in NAV. 1922. and visited many
courts of Germany and Italy and on
the eighth of August he stopped at
Elchstadt. where he saw for the f1rst
time the Princess Josephine. She was

Nerve specialists saw that great
many suicides are the direct result
! of exhausted brain cells.
Not long ago a boy in New YORK
was driven to suicide from over
taxing his brain In an effort to pass
difficult examinations In school. The
| boy was ambitious and was obi, geo
to do errands before and after schooi
in order to buy his clothing, and then
he would sit up and study half the
night. When the examinations came
around he Yves in no physical condi-
ton to take them. His mentality
was utterly depleted. The boy be-
came respondent, melancholy, ana
several times tried to blow out his
brains with revolver; a last des-
perate attempt succeeded.
Hundreds of cases of this kind
might be cited when boys and girls
all over the country are driven 10
suicide, or permanently injure their
health by over-study, excessive brain
stimulation.
Who can estimate the tragedies
which have resulted from exhausted
brain and nerve cells-from the
poison of fatigue?
How often we pick up newspape
and read of horrible accidents due

Gently a terrible railroad disaster, in

lost, were traced to the fact that the
engineer had been compelled to work
continuously for some thirty six
hours under a most terrific tension.
This man had previously earned a
high reputation for carefu!ness and
strict attention to duty. and yet, on
this occasion the poison of fatigue
had so demoralized his faculties that
he disregarded danger signals, thus
causing the loss of many precious
lives.
We all know that our ability dete-

one bag considerably larger than the
others. The examiner reserved that
bag until the last, preferring to open
the other bags and count the specie
in them first.
AT last he cut the strings with
which the big bag was tied and then
thrust his hand into the bag, ex-
pecting to bring out handful of
specie.
Hey, what's this?' he shouted.
What does this mean?' And as he
said this he withdrew from the bag "a
handful of spoons, forks and napkin
rings and other things and spread
them out upon the table. Then lie
drew forth another handful, and so
on until the top of the table was
fairly well covered with these things.
What does this mean? Did you
think that this old Junk would impose
upon me and that | would accept your
word for it that II contained so
many dollars of silver, as part of your
reserves?
HE sat there glazing at the officers
of the bank for some moments, not
observing that they could scarcely
conceal their sense of humor of the
situation. Al last they summoned the
cashier, and the bank examiner de-
manded of him an explanation of
what seemed to be an imposition. The
cashier said:
1--WE have frequent dealings with d
specie broker whom you know very
well, He buys old silver, frequently
in large amounts, and then sends 1t
to the assay office to be assayed and
then melted and nodded into bullion
bars. His credit and reputation are
very high, as you know. Two days
ago he came In here, saying that he
had an immediate demand for sew
eral hundred dollars of silver coin,
We did not have the coin on hand
to spare. Therefore, he asked us il
we would accept old silver of an
ascertained weight and fineness
equivalent TO the silver coin which he
wanted TO take out We we're glad tc
accommodate him, and, sir. this sill
YER. even though it be In the form oil
old spoons and forks and other
things, is as good silver bullion as
YOU can find anywhere. The law per-
nits us to keep silver bullion as d
part OF our reserve a4a
The bank examiner hesitated few
| moments and then said:
" How do you know that thes,
| spoons were not stolen? And then
! being discounted by the no longer
suppressed laughter of the bank on
GERS, he went away In a hun. A few
days later Governor Banks heard th'
story. and he did not conceal his sense
| of humor of, the situation"
