faced the Rev. Paul Smith, leader OF

remarkable demonstration of its kind
in the citys history.
Three hundred women of the under
world, clad in their tawdry finery,
marched in a body to the Rev. Mr..
Smiths church and presented to the
pastor a plea for a chance. In an adj
dress of remarkable eloquence. Mrs.
r. NJ Gamble, leader of the women,
set forth their views. Chief RESPONSE
biIity for existence of women of the
underworld, she declared, was the
starvation wage offered to girls by
business houses, which forced them
into a life of shame.
I'VE find it impossible to exist on
wages of Sc to 81 a week-the wage
paid women in this city" she said.
Most of these girls are daughters of
poor families nearly overy one is 4
mother or has some one dependent on
her. There is no more badness in
them than in any other women They
are driven into This life wholly by
economic conditions.

for help and he told her to trust in
God. How can you trust in God when

Mrs. Gamble appealed passionateiy
for a saner view of the Magdalene'3
life by ministers and reformers. She
declared she asked not only that the
present woman of the underworld be
saved. but that the young girls who
are coming into the life every day be
spared its horrors. The speaker criti-
cised ministers who want to drive US
women out of the city
HAS your city and your church a

to other cities and other churches ?"
she cried.
why don't you attack conditions,
not persons, and educate the growing
young to a proper respect for them
selves and for womanhood?
The Rev. Mr.. Smith promised his
aid to all the women who would leave
the life on the +Barbary coast, and

succeeded in bringing him down. He
was an enormous bear, even for
grizzly, and the lone hunter, after
good look at him, left him lying in the
woods and went into camp to get help
in bringing in his game. Two mes
came back with him walking single
file through the trees, the man who
had killed the grizzly, in the rear. And
when they came to the place where
the grizzly had fallen, there he was.
bloody and disheveled, but alive and
standing, his huge bulk across the
path, waiting. Before any one of the
men had time to draw his gun, or re-
cover from his amazement, the grizzly
had rushed past the two strang.
ers to him, and killed the man who
had wounded him to the death. Not
until he had killed his slayer did he
drop dead at the feet of the other two
men who had been powerless to pre-
vent the tragedy.

1t is an interesting fact that many
new ideas in banking originated
through the financial difficulties Of
mOnarchs. Once, in 119 b. c., En-
peror Quit of China discovered that
his finances were in bad shape. So
straitened was the treasury and so
gloomy the outlook that the emperor
summoned his prime minister. This
dignitary was made to understand that
the condition must be remedied forth
with or dire consequences to himself
would result.
AS the prime minister bowed and
scraped his way out of the royal pres
ence great idea struck him. You
see, it was the custom in this court,
when princes or courtiers had audi
ence with the emperor, to cover their
faces with piece of skin. So the
hard-pressed prime minister conceived
the plan of having decree issued pro-
viding that for this purpose only the
skin Of certain white deer kept in
one of the royal parks should be per
United. He put the plan in execution
and the pieces of skin were sold for
high prices, thereby solving the fnan-
cial problem.
In this manner the first bank notes
were issued. 1t soon became custom
skins among one another, and while
they did not enter into general circu-
lation, the prime minister's ingenious
idea is believed to have constituted
the actual beginning Of paper cur
rency.
The temptation to create money by
the issuing of notes in excessive guam
titles has long been characteristic
of potentates. In many countries 1t
was necessary to deprive the ruler of
his power to issue money and the right
was bestowed on private institutions.
In 1882 A. d. the emperor of Tartary
made money Of paper and leather to
such an extent that gold and silver fell
into disuse At one time it took 1000
min. or $4,000, in paper money to buy
a cake Of rice. This reckless issuing
Of notes eventually placed the money
in such disrepute that In 1856 there
was no trace of 1t left.
China was no doubt the first coun-
try to use coins. 1t had system of
its own as far back as $3.50 B. G. Its
"Pu" money is interesting. These
coins were apparently made before the
Chinese began to write, or before 1t
occurred to them to place on coins
their denominations. At any rate,
they adopted the rather laborious plan
of indicating value by making the coin
In the shape of the article it could
purchase. Thus, they had knife
coin, consisting of a regular blade and

round handle with hole in the lat
ter, for convenience in stringing the
coins. Later, the blade part was left
off and only the circular handle re-
manned (making it's present shape).
Coins were also issued in the shape
of shirts, hoes, sickles, spades, etc,
Leave it to the Chinese to devise queer
but ridiculously simple makeshifts!
What was often an acute problem in
the East is shown by an act of the
empress of Japan, near the end of the
sixth century. She ordered the bronze
statue of Siaka to be cast into coins
and plaster one erected in it's place.
The coinage was continually being up
set by the great absorption of coins to
be cast into Buddhist images. At the
end of the eighth century the scarcity
of copper grew so general that rent
was universally paid in rice.
In Egypt and Babylon copper was
used in bricks, but generally in rings.
1t was employed in this manner in Ire
land down to the twelfth century and
is still in use in the interior of Africa.
The earliest western coinage was eth
er that Of Lydia or Pheidon. The
Greeks and the Romans employed
coins.
The Carthagians seemed to possess
a form of currency similar to. bank
notes. These notes consisted CT small
pieces of leather in which a substance,
known only to the maker, was
wrapped. 1t was then sealed and is
sued for circulation. These issues
were made. only under the authority
Of the state.
1t is significant of the extent to
which money and banking is allied
with progress that in the middle ages
money became practically unknown.
