In an article in "The Family' \Ioney" department of the N64. 7ember American Magazine writer says: 3~e~ai~ id uncl of iinJ >f 5, iiiy first impulse was to 'even it off," and if it hadn't' been for an old friend of my' father's I think I would have succeeded in neatly paring it down to zero. "What were you thinking of doing with that money?' he ask ed casually one day. "Well," I replied, 'I think I'll just take that $45 and go for a: little lake trip, and then I'll have .500 to put in the bank.' I'Why $500?' he said. Why not $545? "Oh," I replied, -you might as well have an even amount.' "Do you suppose you could spare me five dollars?' he asked. suddenly. "Why, yes.' I replied, a little sunrised that he should ask to borrow money of me: but I hand-* ed it to him. "All right, then.' he said: he' i"e deiars' hoding me back that same bill. 'If you'll just put this with that 8545 ycu will have S550, and that's a nice even amount. Now, if you'll ut that in the bank, in three months it will have earned five fifty more, and surely in the meantime you can scrape togeth er 44.50 and then you'll have an even $600 instead of $500.' "Well, what could I do with $600?' I asked, not very much imressed. as the difference did not seem worth the trouble. "One thing you could do,' re plied the old gentleman, 'would be to ask your banker to buy a thousand-dollar bond for you or, rather, to lend you the extra 400, keeping the bond as secur it, and then it wouldn't be long before you would have a thou-: sand dollars, which, for "evdn' amounts" is a little better than Five hundred.' "Then with a pencil and paper; e showed me carefully just how long it would take. Judge Brawley Dies. Former UTnited States Judge William H. Brawley died in Char-. eston on Wednesday morning.
