DIMES.

"Still, IS ] before remarked, am not an
enthusiast on silver and gold, my speciality
being old copper cents. / reason that the
tying up of much face value is tempta-
tion to burglars, while copper, if offered
by them at premium, would lead to de-
lection; and again, gold and silver are
unknown quantities, and "fnds" or
misers' boards are liable to greatly affect
the supply and future prices, though
true the late civil war proved boon to
numismatists, bringing forth from con-
cealed cupboards and old stockings ION ac-
count of the great premium on gold and
silver the laid away savings Of many a
household. There may yet be much con-
cealed gold and silver, and possibly of
copper also, but what is found of the
latter has no charms for the numismatist,
for Mother Earth, atmospheric influences,
abrasions, etc., ETC., have destroyed the
coin; therefore I prefer a copper collec-
tion, as in perfect condition (alasl how
few there are) they are most interesting
and hold their value best, and, by the
way-quite q paradox-in coins the COM
monest thing is the rarest and the
cheapest the dearest. An absolutely per-
feet set of United States big copper cents
(Which, however, does not exist would,
if on the market, bring larger price
than a complete set of dollars, halves,
quarters. dimes and half Dimes"

MOTHER DAVIDSON,
MRS. VAN CLEyE.

MOTHER DAVIDSON. MRS. VAN CLEvE.
In these memoirs there is also mention
of Col. Smelling and Lieut.. Hunter (after-
ward Gen. Hunter). Fort Smelling was
then in the wilderness and surrounded by
savages, and Mrs. Van Cleve gives many
"reminiscences of encounters, captures and
escapes from Indians 1t was during this
time that she saw the first steamboat as it
went up'the river to st. Paul
Mrs. Van Cleve also gives an interesting
account of her visits to Gen. jackson s
family at Memphis. She afterward met
Miss Taylor, the daughter of Gen. Taylor,
who subsequently eloped with jefferson
Davis. In 1861 Mrs. Van Cleve's husband
was appointed colonel of the Second Min
nesota regiment, which fact gave his
wife special interest in the wtr for the
Union.
Mrs. Davidson is probably the Oldest
living settler in Fulton county, Ills. She
was born in Springfield, KY, in 1910, and
is therefore 7S years old. When girl
she lived in a besieged fort in Bond
county, Ills, during the Indian war Of
1911. Her father was Methodist minis
ter, and she became acquainted with Peter
Cartwright and other notable Methodists.
She has frequently entertained Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas at her
house. Mrs. Davidson has lived all her
life in quiet region, and has never seen
a railroad train.

Professional Artists a Terror.

Art stores and the dealers in artists
supplies are not supported to any degree
by professional talent, as in fact no dealer
cares to cater to that class of trade. Pro-
fesslonal artists are terror to business
men, for they seem to have no ideas of
ways and means of transacting business.
and think it all the same whether they
pay In day or year. Then the success
ful men want you to toady to them and
submit to insolent reflections on the con-
tracted ideas of all engaged in trade.
They will force their pictures on the pub
lie whether the execution is good, bad or
Indifferent, and when the dealer remon-
strates they turn a scornful nose and
caustically comment on the terrible lack
Of art culture among the uneducated.
There are men in the art supply bust
ness who have informed me that their
most sincere wish was that real profes-
siona would never cross the threshold of
their stores. The artists who have had
sense enough to forego the ambition to
become famous and turned their pencils
and brushes into commercial work have
found reward commensurate with the
cost of early training There are dozen
commercial artists in st. Louis who today
claim incomes ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000, that lift them from the penury
and uncertainty of Bohemian whose life
Is devoted to catching the public fancy.
The public is too whimsical. and although
you may captivate it for awhile, fashion
will lead the crowds away from yester-
days favorite.-Charles E. Ault in Globe

woman were sold, including her clothing,
and almost fabulous prices were paid.
For example. pair of blue silk corsets
brought $37. A trashy novel which she
was reading just before she was killed
brought $25; the publishers price of it is
20 cents The blue silk stockings which
she had on when she was killed were pur-
chased by Russian countess for S43. A
basin in which Pranzini was said to have
washed the blood from his hands after The
murder brought $15. A chiffonier, on which
are to be seen the marks of his bloody fin
gers. brought $S5. heavy coat of
waterproof transparent varnish has been
put over the finger marks to prevent them
from being obliterated pair of common
silk garters brought $5 each.
One lady. rich bankers wife, paid $32
for pink silk undervest, considerably
worn. and at once stripped off the half
dozen buttons and sold them for Sc apiece.

brooch containing a tiny gallows moose
made OF Pranzini's hair, and another lady,
duchess, has set in a ring one of the
handsome teeth for which the murderer
was famous. She bribed the executioner

THE CAPITAL PRIZE.

Collins, of the treasury department. He
is an ardent collector Of all kinds of rare
coins, though his speciality is copper. He
knows as much about coins perhaps as
any man in America. He paid $50 for a
cent of a certain date at a New York sale
the other day, and he told me last night
how a Philadelphia lawyer had just sold
him two old copper cents for $S5. HE
wanted 800" said he, land l would have
given him $3.50 rather than have lost the
two cents. They are worth twice this
amount TO sell and | needed them for my
collection"
Mr.. Collins here showed me set of
copper cents which he told me were worth
thousands of dollars, and he showed me
collection of silver which would bring
enough at coin sale to furnish house.
1t was not large in size and its face value
was probably less than 800. It was the
rarity of the coins that made their value
and ran this hundred of dollars well up
into the thousands.
I asked Mr. Collins as to the value Of
our silver coinage.
He replied: ''The most valuable piece
of silver in the United States is the dol.
lar of 1904. There are less than ten gen.
uine original ones in existence, and any
of these would readily bring $1,000.
Three presumable 1904 dollars have been
sold at coin sales within the past few
years. But the current impression in
numismatic circles is that these were re-
strikes. That is, they were struck by the
mint officials in 1853 illegitimately from
the old parts of the 1904 die. There have
been some of these illegitimate coins
thrown on the market, and they have, of
course, a lessened value. There have
been surreptitious issues of the 1927
quarters, the 1886, 1888, 1889, 1851 and
1852 dollars, and half cents in the forties
Such issues do not command as much as
the original. of course. A restrike of the
1904 dollar, formerly the property of the
late DR.. Linderman Of the mint, sold at
New York sale Feb. 20, 1888, for $40"

HALFS.

"Are there not a number of 1904 dol.
lars on the market?"
GAS have told you, there are less than
ten genuine original ones known. There
are plenty of electrotypes, however, and
many well executed altered dates done by
an expert in Massachusetts. This man
has coGnterfeited the 1904 silver dollar
by changing the figures on genuine silver
dollars. The western towns have been
salted with them, and some collectors
have been taken in The placing of the
counterfeits has been done in curious
way. A dignifed elderly tramp of pol
ished bearing tells the collector a pa
thetic tale Of his downfall from atfluence.
Reared in the lap Of luxury he has now
nothing left but an old silver dollar given
him by his grandfather with the injunc-
ton to keep; he has been told that the
coin is valuable, but he knows nothing
about it, and he would like to sell it. The
result is he gets from $50 to 800 for it,
and the papers come out with the state
ment that another 1904 dollar has been
found"
"What other rare dollars are there?"
"Those that command the biggest
premium" said Mr.. Collins, "are dated
1794, 1888, 1889, 1851 1852 and 1853
They are worth from $50 to $50 each, and
their value arises from the limited num-
Der coined. -- -
at depends also altogether on the con-
dition of the coin. The condition of the
coin is everything in numismatics, and q
fresh, clean, unused copper cent may be
worth 500 if Of certain date, whereas
if it be scratched or tarnished it may not
be worth S. An old woman in Washing
ton had number of old copper coins, and
among these were two cents which would
have given her $50 for. She refused to
part with them, and l told her that she
was making mistake. The cents
at this time had been carefully cared
for, but she showed them to every
one that came in and let her friends
handle them until they were practi-
caIlv ruined. The result was when she
wanted to sell them later, they were not
worth 81 apiece, and could not buy
them. 1t is on this account that you can
