TWO NEIGHBORS.
Two neighbors kept hens and
quarreled because they scratched each
other's potato rows up. One sold his
hens unknown to the other, who made
a large run and fastened his hens up,
saying:
"Now, the first hen I see in my
garden I shall shooL"
Next day saw a hen scratching
as usual, so he got the gun and shot
It, then threw it over his neighbor's
rails, saying, “Take your hen!” The
hen was picked up, taken in, and
cooked.
The following days the same thing
happened. Still the neighbor took
them up and said nothing, till the
seventh came over and hit him on the
head. Then he picked it up and threw
It back at bis neighbor, saying: "Eat
your old hens. We are tired of eating
them, and prefer a little pheasant. I
sold my hetxß over a month since!”—

THE CULTOT OBSERVER.
WASHINGTON NEWS
By Edward Keating.
Washington, August 18. —The Wil
son-bryan currency bill ha»s passeu
through the fiery furnace of the ’Dem
ocratic House Caucus and has emerg
ed uriiscLulled, it will pasy through
ti\e Hc-use as It was approved by the
caucus, and it wilL be ratified by the
senate in practically 't'he sanne form.
The president has decreed that we
must enact both tariff and currency
legislation at this extra session,and
perspiring, pleading senator® have
been unabe lio dissuade him from his
course. He would not Ifcrten to the
suggestion of a recess, which would
permit inimibers to take a short va
cation. Of course, this has caused
some gruimbling among the reaction
aries and you hear a little talk of
“Executive Interference.” The peo
ple are not l/ikely to worry over the
situation, however, for they know
Vliat when the president “Interferes”,
it is in their interest.
The new currency bill has t-eet-h In
it. Like everything which is produc
ed by t'he hand and brain of the
president, it is efficient and will do
the work it is designed to accomp
lish.
Money Trust
Frightened.
That the money trust feans it is
evidenced by the frantic efforts made
to prevent or postpone Its considera
tion. Special privilege was even will
ing to sacrifice the protective tariff
'.i it could thereby avoid banking re
form. It is pretty well known that
the Republican standpatters offered
to withdraw all opposition to the Un
derwood bill if they could be assur
ed that the currency bill would not
bevtaken up at the extra session. The
president smilingly rejected this rath
er tempting proportion, and urged
the house to proceed.
Then special privilege took another
tack. It sought to create dissensions
in the banking and currency commit
tee and failing in that, flooded the
country with grossly misleading stor
ies concerning the contents of the
bill. It was said to have been draft
ed along the lines of the discredited
Aldrich bill. It was pictured as a
great engine of evil, which would de
stroy the country banker and. ait the
same time.deprive the farmer of both
credit and currency. It is amazing
I how special privilege loves the farm
er. Every standpatter in both hous
es of congress has delivered at lea®t
one speech showing how the tariff I
! will ruin the farmer, and how the cur
rency bill will still further Impover- j
ish the unfortunate tiller of t'he soil.
They have pulled the wool over the
eves cf the farmer so often that '
they cannot think t possible that he
will “get wise” to their method.?.
! Wilson vs. ...
1 Aldrich.
j The Wiison-Bryan bill does resem
ble the Aldrich bill, wC:h this iimport
ant exception: The Aldrich bill con
| centr&'ted the control cf our curren
; cy and banking systems in* the hands
!of a great central bank, ow ned and
j operated by the big bankers of the
country. The Wilson-Dry an bLll plac
es t'he control in the* hands of the
I members of the federal reserve board,
! 7 men selected by the people of the
i United States through their repre
sentative, the president of the Unit
ed States.
To put It in a nutshell, the Alirich
bill would have enabled the banks to
control the people, the Wilson-Bryan
bill enables the people to control the
banks. And that Is as it should be.
But the Wilson bill safeguards the
legitimate interests of every legiti
mate banker. And that, also, fs as
should be. It fas only when a bank
er goes outside the HmKts of legiti
mate banking that he becomes a mei>
ace to the community. Up to that
point he is one of t<he bulwarks of
■society and should be protected and
encouraged to expand his activities,
activities.
Financial
Triumvirate. ]
Under the existing banking system
a money oligarchy has developed in
the great industrial centers of the
the country. The hearings before
the Pujo committee demonstrated the
existence of a well organized money
trust. Morgan, Baker and Stillman,
three bankers of New York, were
shown to dominate the finances of
this nation. Morgan was hailed as
the uncrowned emporer of the realniB
cf Mammon. This condition was
brought about largely by the opera
tion of the national act which con
centrated the bank reserves of the
nation in New York, at which, place
they were all used for stock gam
bling lim Wall street. When the mon
ey kings wanted to discipline the
country they made money “tight” and
hard times followed. When they
were disposed to have things boom,
they loosened their purse strings and
money was “easy".
Under the Wilson-Bryan bill these
poi.e..-*ues u*.e v.<eJiiroKeu. ’li.e
try is divided into twelve dvstrictu,
or regions, and a central ibank k* or
galilted in. ea-jn district, of which the
banks of that district are utockhold
trs. Thefee big banka are known as
regional reserve bank® and they care
ior that portion- of che reserves of
the iittle banks which used to be
sent to New York. Tnus, instead
of these reserves becoming concen
trated in. Wall street, they are kept
Lni the various* “region*” where v.hey
are available for commercial, InaU's
trial N and agricultural purposes.
A Panic
Preventer.
The controlling power in the dew
system is the federal reserve board,
wl ioh, as I said befo v is named by
the president and therefore always
anowerable to the people. TiiLs board
hats very extejicavve powers. i'erhaps
the most <mportan,t Ls whn>t might be
described as the “panic preventer.”
This is a very sample but very ef
tecti've device. T'ae federal reserve
board will have at Its disposal five
hundred million dollars in currency,
in tlme.s of stress when the regional
reserve banks are unable to take
core of tin* situation, the federal re
serve board will release to the re
gional n ;rve bank's so much cf this
great reserve as may be needed. The
regional banks put up as security
prime 1 coram rcial paper to the full
value of the loan, and in addition, one '
third the amount of the loan in law
ful money of the United States.
We never had a panic in the his
tory of hla country which could not
have been squelched a.t its inception
by the proper distribution of one hun
dred million dollars. Take the hand
made panic of 1907. All the banks
of the vvett and south asked at that
time was that the New York banks
pay t'hcm what they owed them.But
the New York banks were frighten
ed to deach and would not release a
dollar.
Under the Wilson-Bryan bill we
could not have a repetition of that
experience. In the first place, t'he
country banks would not have their
money tied up in New York, and in
addition they could get all the cur
rency they wanted by depositing se
curities In Washington with the fed
eral reserve board.
Forbids Cashier’s
Certificates.
With the overthrow of the money,
combine, the “cashier's certificate”
also disappears. You remember the
bits of paper which took the place
of real money during the panic of
1907? You will see them no more,
for under the Wilson-Bryan bill, the
banks must meet their obligations
with coin, cf the Republic or close;
their doors.
Another* feature of the bill which i
will eventually prove one of its most |
bemfichl provisions 1b wbat is knowrj
as the “rediscount section”. This |
enable? the counlr. I to redis-j
count the paper of farmers and stock
raisers with the regional barks, and
ii *he (pinion i f ex.-erts v ill have a
stroig tendency to not only make
money muc h easier in the rural dis- ■
triets, but to materially reduce the i
rate of interest charged.
When. I spoke of the bill passing j
through the “fiery furnace” of the
democratic caucus, I was not mere
ly indulging in a fanciful figure of
speech. When the measure w’as first
presented to the caucus it met with
earnest opposition. After a prolong
ed and exhaustive debate the wis
dom of the great statesmen who draft
ed the bill was amply vindicated. A
careful examination of its provisions
converted its most stubborn oppon
ents into its most enthusiastic sup
porters, and sent it out on the floor
of the house backed by a harmoni
ous and confident majority.

MARRIED FOR MONET
Then the Woman Fell Desper
ately in Love With Her Non
descript Husband.
By LILLIAN PETERSON.
I married Leland Lawson for hi
money. He had quantities of it, an*
brought up as I bad been to look for
ward to a wealthy marriage as tb*
only fitting culmination to my socia
career, 1 had unhesitatingly accepte*
him when he asked me to be his wife
But I would make no false pretension:
of love to gloss over the barter of ra>
body and soul to the ged of mammon
and so told Leland plainly.
When our engagement was an
nounced I was criticised freely. A Va
Cortland with some of the bluest bloc
in the land flowing through my vein,
to marry a son of John Lawson. wh<
openly declared he had worked as a
common miner before he had struct*
the vein in the silver mine out c
which had come the stacked up mil
lions. However, I was perfectly tndit
ferent to the opinion of society in gen
eral. I knew it too well to have a
very high estimation of the value o;
Its censure. When the millions were
mine I could soon alter ail that.
Our wedding was an imposing spec
tacle; very touching and impressive tc
onlookers undoubtedly, but I feit as if
I was the principal performer in a:
up-to-date farce. It was only after th*
ceremony was over and we had driven
away amid a shower of confetti that,
looking over at the commonplace man
sitting beside me 1 wondered what
my future life would be.
We went over to the Mediterranean
for our honeymoon, going first to Al
giers and gradually working our way
back to Paris. How I did love those
first few months!
A wonderful Frenchy ; frilly maid
was the first use 1 made of my newly
acquired wealth, and only a woman
who has had to go out without the aid
of one of these wonderful creatures
can realize what a Joy she was to me
Then Leland was the best of traveling
companions. It really was astonish
ing the amount of general knowledge
he possessed; he was continually sur
prising me as the day when we arrived
in Rome and I heard him talking Ital
ian to the hotel porter. 1 had always
thought him absolutely devoid of that
education which comprises a know)
edge of tongues.
In wierdly beautiful Venice while
gliding along the still, dark canals, or
out in the broader moonlit waters, I
almost fell In love with Leland. If he
had been tall and dark I certainly
would have succumbed to the foolish
passion, but be was just my own
height, five-foot-seven, and nonde
script, so 1 dismissed the idea as ab
surd. But I could not endure bis ab
solute indifference. He was always
most considerate and never failed in
any of the small attentions 1 had been
accustomed to receive from men of
my own class, but he showed not the
slightest appreciation of my beauty.
I became terribly lonesome; money !
was not quite everything. What was ;
the use of spending my days in Paris
buying gorgeous frocks and marvel
ous hats when there was no one to ;
care how I looked. By tne time we
had been a month in Paris I was des
perate. Why had I married Leland?
| fancied he actually disliked me. and
I did not wonder. What must a man
think of a woman who frankly con
fesses she is marrying him for
money? If he had been older, it might
have been easier, but we were both
young and I knew he had loved me
once. Why had I ever been Buch a foci
as to let him know I cared so much
for those wretched mlllious? Of
course he would never believe now i
that I loved him. I used to lie awake
at night wishing that odious money
could be lost or stolen so that I could
prove my devotion, for there was uo
doubt about the fact that 1 passionate
ly adored my own husband. At length
one day as we were motoring along
the smooth roads outside Paris an
Idea came to me. and l gave * little
gasp of delight. It was all so beautiful
ly simple. A letter to Leland’s father
explaining everything and asking for
the help which I knew the shrewd,
kindly old man would never refuse to
give. I wrote as soon as we got back
to our hotel. A lengthy letter, saying
exactly what I wanted and why 1
needed It
We went on a motor tour through
the chateau district, and daily 1 fan
cied Leland regretted more and more
his hasty marriage, and I fell more in
love than ever with the quiet, thought
ful man whom I was hourly discover
ing so vastly different from the com
monplace, nondescript being I had
imagined I was marrying.
My answer came at last, suddenly
and unexpectedly, as things eagerly
waited for generally do. We were din
ing in our private dining room when
a bellboy entered with a cablegram.
Leland took it from him and opened
It carelessly: As he read the type
written message a queer, puzzled look
caine into his dark grey eyes. He said
nothing, but handed the pink slip
across to me. I read It slowly and
thoughtfully. It was brief and to the
point:
"Heavy losses. B. and* 8. failed.
Come home Immediately. J. Lawson."
1 turned pale, whiter than the lace
frock I was wearing. Would he be
lieve It? I hardly dared raise my face
to his. for this was the message I had
Implored Leland’s father to send. At
length I looked up to meet my hus
band's eyes fixed on me with a pity
ing expression.
"Poor little girl," he said gently.
“I'm afraid this will be a pretty hard
i blow to you. I know you only cared
• t iuo money wueu ;uu nmrrieu
*ud if the B. and S. has tailed, there
be very much of it lefL I look*
ather serious when the Pater wants
ae home."
I did not know quite what to say.
The right words now meant my life’9
.lappmess, and 1 am not ashamed to
1 prayed a tiny prayer that I might
•peak them.
■‘Leland/' at length I faltered. "Do
you still thiuk 1 care only for the
money ?”
I waited for a moment breathless,
expecting his answer, but as he sat
silently looking at the pink slip with
a bewildering expression, I continued
slowly: "Leland, look at me. lam
glad, glad If the B. and S. has failed,
and only wish you had not a cent left
so that I could make you believe I
care for you more than anything on
earth.”
Slowly those calm grey eyes were
raised to my imploring blue ones, and
my husband spoke quietly:
“Do you really mean that, Una?"
And his voice was almost stern as he
•said it. "I don't want pity. Do you
love me as other women love the men
fhey marry?”
His voice trembled with repressed
feeling, and I knew then that Leland
loved me. and my heart sang for very
joy. 1 could not speak. No woras
would come, but he seemed to under
stand. for abruptly pushing baca hia
chair, ho strode ovpr to my side of
the table Unconsciously I rose irorn
my seat, and before I knew how it had
happened my husband’s arms were
round me, and he was whispering
those things which every woman
hopes to hear at least once in her life.
It was not till we were driving out
to the Bois in the still luminous spring
night that I found courage to make
my confession. "Leland,” I said softly,
putting my hand on hiß arm. "will you
forgive me, dear, for the deception I
practiced on you? That cable was a
fraud. The mor#y is all right, for I
wrote and asked your father to send
that message to help me to show you
that I did care for you."
Leland made an inarticulate noise, it
sounded like a smothered laugh, and
I continued hastily: “You will for
give me, won’t you, and believe that
I truly do wish that all those millions
were at the bottom of the sea?"
There was a moment’s silence.
Every nerve in my entire body seemed
to tremble in an agony of expectation,

ly? I was picturing the Pater’s face
when he receives our letters begging
him to cable that his treasured money
was lost, for I too thought of that
bright idea to try and discover wheth
er you did not care just a little."
