' America's Immense Savings. '
'. No one has ever yet given a wholly
satisfactory answer, to the question:
What becomes of all the money during
a panic? The great pendulum swings
so rapidly backward and forward that
when it reaches one extreme it seems
Impossible that it should ever get so
far away In the other direction
The Philadelphia Press tries to an
swer it thus:
"Only a little mora than a year ago
1 the whole world had a money panic:
In Paris the rate of interest was at the
highest point since the Franco-Prus
sian war. In London it was at the
highest figure since the darkest days
of the Boer war and British consols
were at their lowest, since the Crim
ean. In the leading .lending center
of America 100 per cent was charged.
"The earth's supply of liquid capital
appeared to be entirely dry. Frantic
efforts to get money only raised rates
of interest without bringing forth the
needed : funds, Business every wnere
came to a dead stop.
: "Now witness the marvelous change.
The pendulum Is at the. farthest ex
treme from the panic point In Lon
don the bank rate has been 2 per
cent for over Bix months, which Ja a
very unusual thing. In Paris funds
are equally icheap. :V ln.' America for
nearly a' year all the- banks in ; the
big-cities have had more money than
they coold employ profitably,
' "English economists have been foot
ing' up the sums , invested in the
United kingdom in new securities in
3908. They, reach 4800,000,000,-which
is said to be a figure beyond 'precedent
mis is 1350.000.000 more than the
British invested only five years ago.
' "But. In the United States- almost
. double that amount of new. securities
were marketed last year. New shares
, and bonds are stllL coming out at the
average rate of about $150,000,000 a
1 mourn. . . . ;,
"And, the extraordinary thine
. that there is money to buy every share
and every, bond. So lf ia in Eurone.
From the famine in. money a 12 month
ago there has' suddenly been spread a
feast of such dimensions that It ha3
no parallel
"English newspapers are making fu!-
some comments upon' that country's
tremendous investment of money last
year and arguing that it. proves the!
mm ri nilgai
Briton to be In a Bound financial con- 'amendment to the constitution. ;
diUon.''So It'does, but If that Is true' i Mr. Roosevelt has again discovered
In England, It Is doublyv true In the: that the constitution of the ' United

$800,000,000 of new British capital in- imperial majesty will' send another

try. This fcs blood that quickens life
elsewhere. .
"But m 'America virtually every

for- home shares' and bonds. The
money is kept here and "here it . will
work. A nation that can save such a
magnificent sum and then uses it to
extend its own industries must have

.wonderful expansion
Changes In the U. S. Senate. j
Illinois, says the Springfield Regis-
iter, is not, the only state , which will
ejtefcfiu change In, the federal senale.
ThfS stale expects to perform a service
for the c6untry;8jd incidentally for
itself, by defeating jlHiiSed States Sen
ator Albert J.. Hopkins for'iaelection.
Of course, It' cannot be guessed what,
the "deadlocked" state legislature" wo) :
do about the election of Hopkins- 6UC-'
cessor, but it seems to be pretty well
settled that Hopkins can command no
more votes than his already high mark
of 89.i His vote was reduced to a min
imum of 83, and in the balloting Tues
day next it -is expected, to drop even
lower than that , mark. It Is only a
question of time until his forces must
disintegrate, as the supporters of no
other candidate are inclined to swing
to Hopkins,' whose successor will, be
probably one of the several other can
didates now in the field, or possibly a
"dark horse." - - r
So a change seems most likely to be
made by the state of Illinois in Its rep
resentation in the national senate.
Thirty-one seats are to ' become va
cant in the United States senate March
4 next Five of the vacancies were
filled prior to January, 1909. Alabama
has reelected Joseph H. Johnston ; Lou
isiana, Samuel D. McEnery; Maryland,
John Walter Smith, and Vermont, Wil
liam P. Dillingham. Kentucky had
chosen William O. Bradley, republican,
to succeed James B. McCreary, demo
crat. Of 19 senators elected in the
past two weeks, 11 are reelected, as
follows: From Arkansas, James P.
Clarke; California, George C. Perkins;
Connecticut, Frank B. Brandegee; Ida
ho, Weldon B. Heyburn; Iowa, Albert
B. Cummins; Missouri, William J
Stone; New Hampshire, Jacob H. Gal
linger; North Carolina, Lee S. Over
man; Oklahoma, Thomas ' P. Gore;
Pennsylvania, Boies. Penrose; Utah,
Reed Smoot. Nevada will reelect
Francis G. Newlands; -Georgia, Alex
ander S". Clay, and Wisconsin, Isaac
N. Stephenson.'
The other senators elected, or cer
tain to be elected, are:
Charles J. Hughes, Jr., of Colorado;
Benjamin F. Snively of Indiana, N. B.
Broward of Florida, W. O. Bradley of
Kentucky, Joseph L. Bristow of Kan-
Elihu Root of New York, M. N,
Johnson of North Dakota, Theodore E.
Burton of-Ohio, George E. Chamber
lain of Oregon, Coe.I. Crawford of
South Dakota, E. D. Smith of South
Carolina, and' Wesley L.- Jones of
Washington. : '.-'.
Among the veterans not returned is
Henry M. Teller, who, with the excep
tion of a brief period from 1882 to
1885, has represented Colorado In the
senate since 187C. He" is the senior
senator in actual, but not. in continu
ous service. Since entering the sen
ate he has been a democrat, republl
can, and independent. His usefulness
is conceded by men of all parties.
Another of the prominent figures in
the senate who steps down and out is
Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, incidents
relative to whose retirement are too
recent history to necessitate repetition
The democrats have won in the elec
tion of two senators from states which
have been sending republicans to the
senate Indiana and Oregon. B. F.
Shiyely of Indiana and. George E,
Chamberlain of Oregon are democrats.
The democratic gain, however, is only
one vote, as the democrats failed to
elect a senator from' Kentucky, W. O,
Bradley, a republican, being elected
from that state.
Intense national interest is being
taken In the Illinois "deadlock" be
cause of the great uncertainty as to
the identity of the' successor of Hop
kins. The concensus .of unprejudiced
opinion, however, is that Hopkins de
serves defeat, and that his removal
from the senate will be a marked im
provement in that" body.

Alpbonse Bet the coffeepot close to
Sheldon's hand aud retired to the bar,
there to Indulge lu a glass of beer.1
The dinner rash vas over, hud he was
certain that no one wculd come now
until after the theaters let out.
Meanwhile the two young people at
the table would surely chat for half an
hour or so, whic h time Alpbonse might
spend with profit in discussing with
the fat bartender rerlain nice points
In the mixing of cocktails. ' .
Meanwhile his' two ..patrons sipped
their coffee, and Sheldon lit the cfgar
that Alphonse h.nd brought. When he
dined alone Jhe: cigar came from the
corner box cn tlie five cent end, but
when the young lady came Alphonse
nlway3 brought a perfeeto from the
Imjx in the Il-o chest with an elaborate
ly casual "Tlio u-vdal, inopsleur."
This was , iim-mied to impress the
guest with' tlic lieltef that Sheldon ha
bitually smoked fat perfectos ;with
red and .old1 fnishcs. 'Tonight "Al
phonse's elaborate' politeness was Ig
nored by the usunlly senial Sheldon:.
"Now fct'tho news." he began as the
waiter headed for the bar. "I couldn't
wait' for "Saturday to tell you, though
it Is only two-May off." ' '';" ..

"Xovcr. -1 iru ess," agreed Sheldon.

ciay.' I ee&iS.V-salary, and you get your
chec-k-from the publishers, and we're
both happy and content, even If not In
agreement." ' .....
"We Vould be in agreement if you
would only stop consduring a proposal
sis an essential feature of tha Satur
day celebration," reminded Bess, with
a show of severity. "You must go and
spoil It all by proposing. Fred; when
I've told you long ago that to marry
would spoil my career. I am making
a little name for uiyself'ln the art
world, and I "can't keep house and
paint too."
"And I've told you," retorted Fred,
"that I would nof stop asking you to
marry me until you said 'Yes. I guess
I've proposed to you sixty times in
the last sixty weeks, Bess, and I'm
good-for sixty times sixty If I have to
hold out that long." .
"Did you ask me out to dinner to
propose to me?" demanded Bess.
"Not primarily," he admitted. "What
I wanted to tell you was that my big
chance has come at last. Benny Groll
has made a good contract, aud he
needs a man to put a little money and
a lot of time, Into the business. I have
more experience than nioWy, but Ben
wants me, and he'll give me a half In
terest if I'll come in. It's what I've
been working nnd waiting for ejer
since , I came to town, Bess, and this
Is to celebrate, my good luck.' "
A slender' band was stretched across
the table and grasped his own.
"Dear boy, I am $o glad," she said
sincerely. "You 'have worked hard,
and you are! 'entitled to your reward."
"Which Is why I am going to ask

"I harc 'llstencd to yon," she remind
ed, with a light laugh. v"Why Freddy,
there has not been a Saturday night in
more than a year that yon have not
rjged me to marry you I'd like to,
dear, but there Is my career."
"Does it nil pay?" he demanded. "Is
It worth all the worry and the con
triving?" ' '
"Perhaps," she said uncertainly, and
Sheldon pressed the advantage. ;
"Wouldn't It be nice If you didn't
have to scrimp and scrape and -plan
the spending of every penny?" he de
manded. "Wonlc!-"r it be nice to have
a real home ins ted cf a three room
flat. , to eat regular meals Instead of
chafing dish messes and to well, to
have me across the table every night
instead of Just Saturdays? It would
be our, own table, too," he jeminded,
"and not a table d'hote. 1 .
"Perhaps." -
' It was spoken so low that Sheldon
had to lean across the table to catch
the whispered word. But he did catch
it, and his face beamed satisfaction.
"And you will marry me?" he cried
delightedly.
- This time he did not hear, but he
knew that the coveted ; answer had
been spoken, and he caught the band
that toyed narvousiy with the cup.
; He spoke no word, for none was
needed. Their eyes told each other
messages that never, have heen put
into words, spoke a language that only
lovers know and Sheldon was con
tent. ; ,
It was Alphonse whose discreet but
suggestive cough from the doorway
leading to the main room recalled
them to more earthly matters and an
unpaid check. Sheldon drew a bill
from his pocket and laid it upon the
tray.
- "Keep the change" he said, "and
drink to our good fortune." Then' Al
pbonse, helping him into bis overcoat,
assured his radiant customer in
French and English that It should be
done. -
In Sansln's customers tipped half a
dollar only when the wbrse for wine.
Here was a man. to all appearances
sober, who tipped CO cents. Alphonse's
thanks followed them even out upon
the street, where Sheldon tucked
Bess arm Into his own with a new
lr, of proprietorship that the girl
found, very comforting.
"i tea," she whispered, did you
know that J was tired and depressed
today?"
"I was only taking chances," he ex
plained, with . a happy laugh. "1

Cards and Their History.

vices and employed as a business me-
dlnm oy money changers. They are
usually made up in packs of fifty-two,
one for each week of the year. . A good
many people play cards for pleasure.
in which case their opponents are said
to be buying experience. In most
card games the rule is that the cards
may be cut, but not otherwise marked.
This rule Is not strictly observed in
J games in which only three cards are
used, indeed, tne marking or cards nas
attained a high degree, of perfection
since the Introduction-of numerous
card index systems. - Fashions' change
In card games ns in everything else.

those sold on tfrlcket grounds, which
are rather larger, or with visiting
