To Her Credit Must Be Placed tho
Settlement of Many Crises In the
Nation's History Has Qono
Through Panics.
Moro than onco In her history tho
"old lady of Threadnoedlo street" has
held tho fato of tho British empire
In her hands. Just recently Britain
has had much to thank her for espe
cially tho way she averted an econom
ic pantc at tho outbreak of tho war.
William HI had not yet begun to
wear mourning for his consort, Mary,
when "the most famous and tho rich
eBt lady In tho world," as tho lato
Lord Goschen styled tho Bank of Eng
land, was modestly cradled at Mer
cers' hall ono July day In 1694, with
that canny Scotchman, William Pater
son, for godfather.
Sho was well doworod as Infants go,
for tho merchants of London city sub
scribed In ten days the comfortablo
sum of $0,000,000 for her birth dowry,
thus enabling her to begin Ufo as a
full-born millionairess.
But the child had not long to wait
for her first trouble.
When sho was only two years old
tho goldsmiths leagued themselves
against the Interloper who was steal
ing their banking business from them.
A fow years later tho fears of an
invasion by tho Pretender brought
her horde of enemies down on her
again, allied with tbo rival banks of
Hoaro and Child, and Bho was only
saved from dlsnster when tho dukes
of Marlborough and Newcastle and
many another noble hurried to her
help with coaches brimming with bags
of hoarded gulnens. When she left
Mercer's hall her original nursery
for tho moro spacious Grocers' hall
her staff numbered but 54 all told;
and when her next migration took
her, In 1734, to tho nucleus of her
present palatial home her capital still
fell Bhort of a modest $50,000,000.
Hero, In 1780, she was compelled to
fight for her UTo,
Newgate had been sacked by a ri
otous mob, a largo part of the city
was In flames and alio herself was
girdled by llerco thoubanas bent on
her destruction. But she had gal
lant defenders. Her roof was manned
by clerks, firing volleys of bullets
molded from tho pewter of their ink
stands, which they poured Into tho
enomy with such deadly effect that
they scattered and fled.
Four years later, "Old Patch," the
roguish sen of nn old clothes- man,
lobbed hr of $1,000,000 by means of
forged notes, and he had so many Imi
tators that n staff of 70 clerks wa3
kept bimy In delecting them.
But the old lady's diary is crowded
with similar sensations and roman
tic happenings. When, for Instance,
In "tho '4G's" Prlnco Charlio's rebel
urmy had straggled as far south as
Derby, such was tho general panic
that the bank was mobbed by anxious
crowds demanding money for Its
notes. Payment was not refused, wo
aro told, but the bank engaged a small
army of ugents to r resent notes for
hich they wero paid In sixpences,
tho agents going out of doors with
their silver and bringing it back by
another, so that bona fldo holders of
notes could not get near enough to
present them.
Snake Creates Panic.
A six-foot snake, full of fight, defied
a squad of reserves for moro than an
hour recently. Tho policemen wore
armod with revolvers, ropes and
sticks. Persons scattered In every di
rection when tho snake wriggled down
tho sidewalk. A man who waa hurry
ing to catch a car near stepped on the
roptllo. Ho gave a cry of fright
when ho saw tho snake almost under
his feet. Ho darted In nnothor direc
tion and lost his car. A rapid transit
company employee called up Sergeant
Morrison of tho reserves and in
formed him In excited accents that a
Kiialco had taken possession of a sec
tion of Market street. A squad of re
serves were dispatched to tho scene,
but tho snako moved about in such a
vicious mannor that nono of tho po
llcemcn risked going very near tho
reptile. Then a young man camo
along nud captured tho snake. It had
Just escaped from an animal -sore.
Philadelphia North Amorlcan.
A Future Rockefeller.
"Trusts, monopolies, have had their
day. They did more harm than good.
Hcnco they must go. But, all tho
same, we must admire tho longheaded
ness of tho men who created these
vast enterprises."
Tho speaker was Senator La Fol
lotto. Ho went on:
"The trust creator reminds mo of
tho llttlo boy who entered tho farmer's
truck patch aud said, touching a ban'd-,
some cucumber on a vine:
'"How much for thlsi'
" 'Ten cents,' tho farmer answered.
" 'I don't want to pay moro than
about 2 cents,' said tho boy.
'"Well, horo's ono for that price,'
said tho farmer,' and ho lifted up a
very small cucumber that grew besldo
tho big ono.
" 'AH right. I'll take her.' said tha
boy. 'But don't cut her off now. I'll
call for her again in twfo weeks time. "
Cotton Seed Prolific.
It has been calculated by a govern
ment botanist that ono seed of cotton,
given the application of all possible
caro and skill, would produce 40,000,
000,000 seeds in six years, and he gives
an actual caso of tho production ot
11,000 bushels ot seed of a pure strain
of wheat from a slnglo grain In flvo
yoara without tho exercise of any spe
cial caro.
For Wall Paper Patches.
Whon tho wall paper chances to
need a patch, and tho new paper Is
conspicuously bright compared with
tho old, hang tho new pleco In tho
sunshine, watch closely and you will
find that It will soon suntone to match
tho old paper. You may then patch
your wall and tho patch will be hardly
uotlcrahlo.
