XARKET FOR FUNNY STORIES Lateat Device of Persona "With Itep HtatloBB as Speakers. Chicago Times-Herald. Funny stories have always been market able to a certain extent. After - dinner speakers and post-prandial orators, wltli reputation greater than their capabilities for retaining such, have always been more .than willing lo pay a fair price for the amusing stories and anecdotes wherewith the aforementioned reputations have been "bolstered. Political speakers and certain legal lights have never disdained the story which was bought with good, honest dol lars, oven though It was the product of some other fellow's brain and only be came theirs by right of purchase. But the field has grown wider of late. Women have Invaded precincts long sacred to the masculine humorist, and many wom en knovy Uiat it Is to buy funny stories nowadays. The price of a story varies all fh way from a bunch of violets to $5, with an average of about J2 50. A bright paper had been read at one of the larger clubs recently, and the reader was standing In the clubroom. receiving the congratulations of her friends, when she became aware of a strange woman who was making desperate efforts to at tract her attention. "That was a fine paper," eald the stran ger. "Thank you," said the woman who had written It. "I have to write a paper for another club before long," then said the other woman, "and I'm not nearly eo clever as you are." "Nor' said the woman with the bright paper to her credit. "And I'm quite sure It's easy for you to think up clever stories," pursued the stranger. "Yes," responded the woman, who began to see what was coming. "And. in short, will you write me three or four funny etories such as you ued to day?" hlurted out the stranger, 5 lelding to her mbarrasMnent: Tm willing to pay for them well, Indeed." "What would you charge for allowing me to use one of the stories jou told Just now at a dinner which I am to attend this ; evening?" still another woman asked of the essayist of the afternoon, a little later. Talking the matter over with some 'riends, this woman learned that funny stories are frequently bought and old ia this manner, loaned for a financial con sideration every now and then, and even i openly .rented occasionally so much forr the privilege of telllngm funny etory "not ' Daae EstcJl tres graadl ay-teel tray grana .

Note The concluding study In Recenl Scientific DiocoTerles, by Prof. Hopkins, will be published on Friday. more than a certain number of times and strictly within the limits of a certain social set. By this -means both the purveyor and the user of the story are protected, the one from the danger of her wares being handled too cheaply or .rendered too com mon, the other from all 'leav of being sus pected of employing twice-told tales. Among -clubwomen the funny story bar ter reaches Its highest proportions. It Is distressing to be called upon to make an Impromptu speech and to have nothing clever or amusing to say. The society woman, whose reputation for luncheon- time cleverness or afternoon-tea brilliancy has outrun her natural Inventiveness, makes by no means a bad second to the ambitious member of half a dozen clubs. The fashionable physician, man or woman, who likes to be credited with always hav ing something bright or anuslng to say to the patient who needs enlivening, has also been known to purchase good stories occasionally, and there are several min isters In Chicago who are at least sup posed to do the same thing once In a while.

Their Tart n Cnrrjinsr ut the Nev Currency Scheme. Review of Reviews. ' It was well understood by those fa miliar with financial operations that the offor of the Government to. exchange the .old bopds -for the new.S-percents .would not be especially -attractive x tle -great .body ot-private Investors, and. .would no"f be accepted by them at -once. . The mbst attractive feature ol the offer, from the point of view of the private investor, wfis that he obtained i safe Investment for 30 years Insteadof'one maturing within, a few- years. 'The proposition wjs made attrac tive to. the National banks, however, T)y the grant of certain privileges connecteS with their circulation. The notes of Na tlonal banks are now Issued upon .the 6e- curlty of United States bonds, which have' to be Intrusted to the Treasurer of he( United States as trustee. The old Ijrw permitted bank-notes to he tesued- only to" the amount of 00 per cent of the face value of the bonds"pledged. The new law permits the Issue of. circulation to the full face value ot the bonds. The difference -between SO per 'cent and ICO pr cent docs not "measure, however, all the advantages of the new ponds" as the basis of circulation. Whena premium had. to be paid, amounting ay to 34 for the per cent bonds, " the "man who " desired . jlOQ.000 in bonds had "to "Invest not simply $100,000; but ?13i,000. He then obtained In' bank-notes, not 00 per cent- of 4131,000, but 90 per cent "of JKiO.OCO. Thus" there was a difference of $14,000 between the amount, which he Invested" and the amount in,, notes which he received, back for use in making loans. "With the 2-per-cent bonds at par. he would haVe obtained ISrf.OOO In notes for an Investment of $100,000"," "even . under the old law. With circulation raised to par, he receives practically $100, 000 In notes for an Investment of $200,003. There are' some deductions for .the re demption fund and expenses, which, need nbt "b"o set forth fully, as 'they are sub stantially the same under the "old and aw rnnmt"fma A weighty Inducement for the. banks -to j iccnange their bonds was cast Jnfo the. acale"bv another provision of the new law. -inis was tne reduction oi the tax upon "circulation, from 1.. per ce"nt a yean when circulation was based upon the old bonds, to one-half of this amourjf when.; MANHOOD RESTOREDSli?: bio Vtallzer.thQprescrh'Uonoflfundns.rrenehphyslcIanf will qnlcWy euro you ofsil nervous or dlva.v.-aof.the generative organs, aaeh as -Jist 3XBUnad, laxuanla, Jiins ta the nnck,Srratial Jinlaiajas.
