Bank Advertisement No. II
The Nature of the Banking Business
By II. S. Mckee
SERIES THREE

SERIES THREE
Most of the confusion of thought about
banking is caused by the loose use of the word
money Generally speaking, money is under
stood to mean either coin or paper currency
The total amount of this in Unired States is about
SD, 500 00O 900 Tor thirty five dollars per person.
About half of it is held by banks and is called their
Cash Reserves. When one speaks of money,
he usually has coin or currency in mind, but he
also speaks of his bank account as Money in the
Bank. This latter is not money. 1t is a debt
the bank owes him, payable in money, if desir-
ed. Its correct name is Bank Credit The
bank, in speaking of it calls it Deposits Peo-
pie use it in preference to money it does nearly
all the work of money; is accepted by everyone
as being payment of money; and people have
very naturally fallen into the habit of calling it
money; but it is really not money, it is Bank
Credit or Bank Deposits

JOFFRE--P ersonally
By HARRISON REEVES.

| ton trips. He has the air of being
quite as tediously on the job and of
making an honest living for his fam
| lily as if he were little business man.
! He fused along over battle of
| the Marine Just the way he does about
routine details of army adminiStra-
| ton, and slept lot every night. The
only special recommendation which
he has ever seen fit to publish was
concerning the necessity of town loaf
ers' getting busy threShing the crops
in the war zone and small matters
about how to keep the road up.
He received batch of journalists
in his school-house office on the front
one day, when the Minister insisted.
He sort of yawned at them, mumbled
something banal about Saving the
country" and got them hustled out.
The only map in the room was a
black-and-white one of Poland, and
the General appeared to be in the
course of Strengthening out his cash
accounts.
Joffre's manner of attacking the
enemy suggests that he has no fancy
idea back of the attack but merely at
tacks to accomplish the purpose of
war, which is to defeat the enemy
your will on him, whether it leads in
any particular direction or not.
Above all, JOffre cares nothing for
the political direction of his strategy.
Supreme credit must be given him, in
the early part of the war, for his ut
ter indifference to the rescue" of
Paris, which the Government and the
people naturally regarded as the car
dinal point of the campaign. JOffre
Ilet Paris take care of herself as best
she could, while he fought his enemy
squarely on the field till he beat him.
He knew full we'll that if he didn't
beat him, Paris would fall in three
days without any siege and the name
of Joffre would be anathema in over
centralized France till that little geo.
graphical point was relieved.
But if Joffre had permitted himself
to worry about Paris, as Won Kluck's
whole strategy overwhelmingly in
fluenced him to do, he might have
saved Paris, but he would have saved
it only to lose all France and then
Paris, too.
What was needed was a purely mil
Iitary steadiness and courage. JOffre
is all purely military steadiness and
courage.
Joffre and General Cherfils were
talking one day about a certain aris-
tocratic general who had heaved a
sigh of relief that God was at last on
II the side of France" Cherfils's COM
ment was: "Since 1870 God has some
how come to distinguish between
France and the Government OF
France"
Joffre is of the people, not of the
Government. His father was cooper
and his mother tended the vines on
their little farm. Out of such work
they wrung the competency which
gave Joseph Jacques Joffre the in
come for a military career. Editors

Joffre resembles the late ]. P. Nor
gan somewhat, in that he is the same
kind of a monster. His head is alto
gether too big for his body. His nose
is very large and very ugly. His up
per teeth stick so far out over his UNI
der lip, so that his thin I1ustache does
not hide them. His shoulders are mar
row and rounded over his flat chest.
His arms are very long and rather
thin for a fat man. His hands are
enormous and bony, like the hands OF
a long, skinny man. His belly is lit
tie and pudgy. His legs and feet are
those of an ill-developed, little rat
man.
He has a way of squirting and grin
ming which is very characteristic. He
stands badly, dresses ridiculously,
never rides a horse any more, and
walks about like President Poincare.
The soldierly part of him is his
head, which is hard, tough, calm, and
hideous with the same sort OF inter
esting hideousness which the late Mr..
Morgan had to such an extraordinary
degree. The pretty photographs
which make him look like Mr.. Tart
do not resemble him bit. He is SIM
ply a softer edition of Mr.. Morgan,
with less conscious force, INITIATIVE
and pugnacity. He is perfectly
French-looking and strikes the French
officer as a natural development Oh
the type of French general OF pleDelah
origin. The noble generals nave

stature. thinness, and sharpness, with

sor cut it all out of the papers.
He has never made any speeches:

At work he is systematic and keeps
a large clerical staff overworked. But
he is a soft master as regards hours
insisting that all his subordlnates
shall sleep as long as they can stay
abed. which he does himself.
His admirers says that he is mcap-
able of worry or of the slightest de-
gree of excitement. He has never
shown emotion about anything ana
has never been known to be interest

Guns of Gold.

The gaekwar of Baroda, an Indian
prince, has a battery Of artillery con-
sisting of gold and silver guns. There
are four guns, two of gold and two of
silver. The gold guns were made in
1874 by an armorer of Lakha. who
worked on them for five years. They
weigh 400 pounds each and, except for
the steel lining, are of solid gold. They
are mounted on gun carriages of cary
ed wood. overIaid with silver. In 1876,
when the gaekwar went TO Bombay to
meet the Prince of Wales, he took the
gold guns with him TO salute the
prince, and that was the only occasion
on which they have been allowed to
leave the state of Baroda.-LOndOn

Their Only Pleasure.

An interesting light on the mental
condition of natives of New Guinea Is
afforded by the story of a commission
er recounted in the report of the Lon
don Missionary society. The commits.
sioner tried two men from the noun
tains for throwing spears at the police.
They pleaded guilty, and it was ex-
planned to them that they must never
do it again.
To the commissioners surprise they
both asked to be hanged. When asked
the reason of the request they replied
that the only pleasure they had was
throwing spears at the police, and as
they were forbidden to do it any more
they did not want to live.-London
