A Valuable Fifty Cent Piece.

Within few weeks a man who han
dies large amounts Of silver. and who
is something Of an expert on rare coins
found in his currency half dollar
piece Of 1893 without arrows. The
oldest dealer in the west declares that
he has heard Of but one other piece
like It, and thinks the value Of this
is between $500 and 81 900. lie thinks
that the omission Of the arrows from
the die was discovered after mere
handful Of coins had been struck of.
The die was then broken and the few
coins sent into circulation. Save for
the two above mentioned all have dis
appered, just as most Il the famous
silver dollar issue Of 1904 has. Most
Of thir latter issue was sent into Flori-
da to pay for supplies during the Sem
mole war. II is supposed that some
Of the coins are still there in the hands
of negroes or old settles, who have
boarded them for years, ignorant of
their rarity. The last dollar of 1904
which was offered Tor sale brought $3.50
at auction. Chicago News.

He Non The Hat.

A wager of silk hat once cost many
lives. 1t was in 1911, wnen Capt De-
catur Of the United States navy, COM
manding the frigate Uuited States,
met Capt. Garden Of the British navy,
commanding the Macedonia. 1t was
Just prior to the war of 1912, and while
talking about the chances Garden said
to Decatur;
"If you and ever meet after the
hostiliues are declared, III bet you a
silk hat that the Macedonia will cap
ture the United States"
"rll bet you a silk hat you don't, ~
was the reply.
The two frigates met October 20,
1872, and after bloody fight the Eng
lish flag Was lowered.
Decatur hastened ON board the prize,
and Garden tendared him his sword
"D-u your sword, Carden,n said
Decatur, 81 bet you silk hat, and as
we are a long way from halter, III
take the one you wear" The hat was
given, Newark journal.

A Rather Frank Admission,

At a recent gathering of UnitarianS,
one speaker recited an anecdote which
admits Of large and varied application.

strong things about fast horses. He

touched one Of their best members at a
tender point, "Well," said the preach
