Naturally, a money order bought In francs In France was payable in dollars in America. Therefore, when ths American banks in Paris were willing to give 1100 francs for $100, one might be able to buy a money order for $100 there, rayable in New York, for 800 rrancs. clearing 300 francs on lh iranraction. Likewise, a 2 Cen times stamp would' carry a letter from France to: America, yet when French exchange was at iu lowest 25 was worth !ess In Am erica than lu centimes had been before the war. However, the rtamps were honored by the Am erican government at their old lime value, the French govern ment making up the difference. As Italian, German and Austrian exchange, rates were lower than French exchange, the chances for profit there were even greater. Every soldier who returned from overseas learned ' something of those conditions when h changed his foreign money for American money, and every tour ist who since has gone abroad has had to learn something of them. Nearly everybody in Am erica possesses general and in accurate information on the sub ject. The matter was very harjr in the minds of most of us, but we had heard a lot or exagger ated stories about the money others had made on foreign ex change transactions. That made . it pretty easy for Porizl.

Ponxl'a scheme, of course, was impossible.

He doubtless knew it could not be done. But It never seemed to occur to the thousands who thrust their monay upon Ponxl that the great nations of the world are not all run bv Imbeciles who can be easily im posed on. In fact. Ponxl'a scheme simply had the two 'great essen tials demanded by the avaricious part of the gullfble public it was impossible and it promised VThe thing that hath been, is the thing whieh shall be; and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. ! - f'ls there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this thing is newt' it hath been already of old time, which was before us. .1 41 have seen all the works that are done under the sun ; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit, i , 4 "That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. iVIn much knowledge s much grief; and he that increascth knowledge increaseth sorrow." - , J Advertising Introduce and sells without oral persuasion and sales manship a tonic of pep, vitally necessary to mercantile exchange.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE. About ' four thousand ancient and honorable government em ployes are now retired under the Movlsions of the service pension act which now apply tor the first time. They will reeeiv Knnt wiik 12.500.000 annually trom their pensions, while it Is computed that tha other federal employes will be paying nearly 114.000,000 a year Into the fund. However, there is the future to be provided for and the number of pensioners civ in u sieaauy increasing. The point ia that for the first time the government clerk finds some provision made for his old are Heretofore he has held on as long as he could even bevond his 80th year and has sometimes then been burled in, a pauper's grave. Now he must retire when the age limit has been reached, and it Is figured that most of them will go to the old home or some place where living la cheap er man in Washington and will find the pension sufficient to keep mem during their declining days i ib Mianes paid In most ot the government departments it l as been Impossible- for most of them to save money but they have nung on with that unlll-dealh-do- us-part grip that marks those In IUlltl..l . - - i;.i service.

Ul younger blood is for the good ot the service and fre quently it ia found that no sub stitution is necessary and some employes may be dispensed with entirely. , That would make for rcai economy.
