VALENTINES.
ill
^er Valentines seem to be popular
jje with everybody. Those in love take
, that method of telling their 'friends"
4
of their deep feeling. The comic
rc6) ones are for another reason. John
irith Phiefer, who is in jail for being in
be connection with that still that was
run down, sent a real live Valentine
to Deputy Marshal Bruce. Ask him
'ent to show it to you if you want to
ure have a good laugh.

From that time on blotting paper
ame into general use. At first it

WAMPUM," THE
INDIAN MONEY,
Here is the story of "Wampum,"
ie first money to be use in the Uni:d
States.
It consisted of clam shells, little
1 1
ibes carved out of clay, beads andj
ie like. All these the Indians call- j
:1 by the general name of Wam-i1
am, and when the white man :-et j'
:ot upon these shores he found i'iei
ampum convenient for his use, r.otj '
nly in trading with the Indhns butj1
ith other whites. The Indian nume,'
as sewan, but the European immi-j1
rants gave this legal tender theI'
me of wampum, by which it has H
?en known ever since. , |'
Wampum was not entirely devoid. 1
t" intrinsic value. Most of the j 1
lells from which it was made were!(
ire. These were made largely into |
jads, highly polished and strung j<
- i > ! 4
i strings. (jnieis, sacnems, anu j ?
edicine men wore great strings of <
lese beads on ceremonious occa- i
ons. Every treaty was; corroborat- ^
i by laying down belts of beads,
riendships were cemented and alii- I

ances and marriages were always
solemnized with an exchange of
wampum.
Wampum was not entirely devoid
of white and dark purple. The white
was made from the edee of the
clam shells and the purple made
from the shell's heart. * and was
worth double the white. Considerable
labor co^t went into the manufacture
of wampum, for a writer in
the year 1714 tells us: "All wampum
is made of shells which are
found on the coast of Carolina,
which are very large and hard, so
they are very difficult to cut." He
adds that "some English smiths |
have tried to drill this sort of shell
money and thereby thought to get
advantage, but it proved so hard
that nothing could be gained."
When / an Indian was buried,
strings of wampum were always
placed in the grave with him for
convenience in purchasing the necessary
supplies in the next world, andi
for use as tips to various minor!
Indian dieties, who the Indians be-!
lieved were as greedy as modern J
head waiters.
In 1G41 the use of wampum wasl
legalized by the common council of!
New Amsterdam, now New York.!
This was next followed by an epi-j
domic of counterfeiting, which \
caused a great deal of difficulty and1
led to the rapid depreciations of j
ivampum as a medium of exchange, j
Old Peter Stuyvesarit pegged around
his wooden leg and did his best
to solve the problem by declaring,
jnstrung wampum, no.longer to be;
legal tender. This was going to:
.he opposite exti-eme, and the little [1
Dutch colony came near a financial
oanic. Six months later loose and.
mperfect wampum had to De ae-p
:3ared legal tender.
In Massachusetts wampum be-: ]
:ame legal tender in 1640, but 1
,\venty-one years later the coming '
>f silver was authorized, and this !
nore stable medium soon drove j'
vampum beads out of circulation. ?
After the Revolutionary warj'
noney was so scarce that wampum 11

The financial requirements of thiraHlj
Revolutionary war resulted' in the^>3
establishing of America's first bankagB ;
The initial undertaking was the^ 4
Bank of Pennsylvania, which wtui^
started in July, 1780. It was
scribed by the well-known financio^|fflS
Morris as "nothing more than a
triotic subscription of continental
money for the purpose of purchaa^|||-J|
ing provisions for a starving army/ffiiffln
In the decade 1780-1790, three
Ar financial institutions were laun> -raw
ched; the Bank of New York, Mas>J!j|
sachusetts Bank and the Bank
North America. This latter is getf^^ jj
erally considered to be the first banir;|Sfl|
in the United States and was capi- . "M
talized at $10,000,000. Actual sub-^$M
scriptions, however, were very hard
to secure and only $70,000 was
tained. This government contribated
$200,000 in specie. fl
The New York Stock ExchangeJ^8B
has been traced back to 3 meeting' V;,3M
of twenty-four brokers under a tree^/I^H
opposite 60 Wall Street, May
1792. The purpose of the meetinR^jfiM
was to agree on uniform commis-^jjjM
sions. Thereafter the brokers
at "Tontin^ Coffee House," Wall'
and Water streets. The final or-JBM
ganization of the Stock Exchange
was completed in 1S17. The Phila--yc^B
delphia Stock Exchange also started^?jj^B
in a coffee house. fl
The malodrous "bucketshop" re-'^M|
coived its name from England. Onrj|&H
the east side of London loaiers uauT:gg^M
a custom of going from street to
nnrJ drainine every keg of
beer they could find. The liquor was:;1^B
placed in a bucket. After it was
filled the hard characters retired to
some out of the way corner and carroused,
passing the bucket from one'^-fB
;o another. The term "bucketshop"
it first meaning assemblages of this
cind, came to be applied to any es.ablis'iiment
of doubtful reputation. .
