Usurer,s Golden Ace.

Five per cent interest on loan
would have been scoffed at by the men
VINO had money to lend In medieval
times. In the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries the usual rate seems
to have been 20 per cent, and in the
preceding centuries it was probably
higher, observes the London Chronicle.
The rate of interest decreased with
the increase of specie, with an occa-
sional limitation by the state. Eliza
beth reduced the rate by law to 10
per cent, James / to 8, and Charles II
to 9. In ancient Rome, according to
Niebuhr, the rate was S1-3 for ten
months year-the equivalent of 10 per
cent per annum.

there would not he so many weak and
wasted lives, so much doubt, and fear,
and despair, so much cruel oppres-
sion, and bitter hatred, and rivers red
with human blood.
For some time the Moody Bible insti.
tute has been urged to add to Its ac-
tivities the work of promoting daily
Bible reading. There are several or
ganlzations already doing excellent
work along this line. but most of them,
reach only limited number of people.
FOR this reason, and for the further,
reason that In spite of all that Is being
done, there yet remains n large num-.
Der of processing Christians who are,
doing no systematic reading Of the
Bible, and millions of others who al
most ignore the book, we feel led to
urge the readers of this column to CO..
operate In this work.
We realize that the members OF
Christian Endeavor societies, and
smaller organizations, are already
pledged to read the Bible daily. Fur
thermore, the covenants of most
churches require their members TO do
the same, but large proportion Of
Gods people, both young and old, are
not doing 1t, and therein lies their
weakness.

NAPLES, y. Y, Aug. 3.-Tappng
r.v levels Of national energy, the Chau-
,,uous Camp, which for the past Six
d,rs, held the interest OF Yates
County. with this Teutonic locality as
q, centre, would convince skeptic at
once Of the patriotic spirit Of Central
v,w York State and of the extraor-
binary vslue OF the nation-embrscing
Chautauqua movement.
Naples rose TO the social group idea
spontaneously, and war orators and pa
,r;otic singers awoke a resonant chord
IN the countryside. This is something
o. a surprise. considering the number
Of non-Saxon participants. But the
Chsutauaus Idea, where 1900 people,
mostly farmers. come for twenty miles
around in mid-harvest, takes on unique
importance quite aside from its pies
ent patriotic service.
So rich are the rewards of those
who bring emotional contacts TO the
farmers and villagers, as at Naples,
that the man who discovers the Chau-
,,uoua as an agency Of expression and
who can put over" message to these
10000 900 emotion-hungry people IN
the 5000 Chautauqua tents will find
himself in possession of rather ire
nsndous national force.

Says He Suggested Divorce
Mrs. Collins accuses her husband of
suggesting that she get divorce from,
him. But. she adds, when she proposed
separation action, he begged her not
to begin it until after his parole term
had oxrired. He was anxious TO get
rid OF her, she says, but was afraid
that he might be sent back to prison

proud and cultured nation" he hurled
the Teutonic javelin Of war. The
farmers we're all but stunned by his
eloqusnee and bore his infectious tears
In their eyes, and, when they rose TO
sing my Country, Tis OF Thee" It
was with a new complex of feeling.
Like a Rodehesver or Sankey comes
the Rialto Quartet to charge the atmos-
phere of the Chautauqua tents with
finer melodies. No success would at
tend speaker or singer who felt
superior to these rural groups. Who
ever thought IL necessary TO apologize
for rural capacity? The fact that they
are stinted by distance in their emo
tional indulgences makes more keen
their hunger for the pest. John Young
and Horatio Rench, lyric tenors. sang
the rsrest melodies in genuine sympa-
thy with their culture thirsty rural
audience.
The weeks programme Of the Ben
Greet Players, educational lectures,
distinguished oratory and concert mu-
sic for "rubes" in a tent at harvest
time has its quality equel TO New York
City nowhere outside Of the Columbia
University Summer School.
II is not unsophistication nor apathy
nor stupidity that one meets at Naples,
but hunger for social feelings, While
their dusty automobiles, that carried
impossible loads Of children and ne gh'
bcrs, nap drowsily in the sun outside,
where humble bees and scarlet holly
hooks alone arouse sensation, these
country folk are tense with interest.
The bingham frocked girls and the
young men smelling of machine oil and
binder Irvine are here, though to-mor-
row they may be living complex lives
in positions of responsibility.
