a man walked into an uptown saloon
the other day and called for a glass of
beer He fshed new silver dollar from
his pocket. spun it on the counter, and
offered to bet the bartender the beer that
it would turn up heads. The bartender
took the bet and won it. for tails were up
when tho coin settled. A well dressed
countryman by the bar looked interested,
and the man exclaimed pettishly that he
would call the next spin for dollar.
Done" said the countryman The
man spun the dollar, called tails and
won.
Mere luck. said the countryman. dis
gustedly, s'or else trick Ill 90 you an
other dollar on it if you let me spin it.
The man assented, and the countrynan
and tails appeared. AS the countryman,
with an exclamation, turned to 90, the
man said, in patronizing tone:
II bet can call it four times out Of
FIVE"
Five dollars on it, said the country
man, hctly.
The man put up the money with the
bartender, and, as the countryman spun
the dollar. called tails FIVE successive
times The dollar settled tails four times,
and the man pocketed the bet. Then he
said:
Look here, greeny. since I've won
seven Of your dollars and don't expect to
work this city again very soon, I'll tell
you something you didn't know. When
you spin coin the side that has the
heaviest markings win settle at the bot
tom nine times out Of ten. provided the
surface you spin on Is perfectly level
With new silver dollar you'll win by
calling tails just nine times in ten on the
long run. Other coins don't have such q
difference in weight between the mold
ings of the two sides, and amt SO certain,
and in old silver dollars he difference is
lessened by the wearing oil Of the inscrip-
tions. You stick to new silver dollars,
work it gently. and you'll have your 81

PRICE ONE CENT


One OF the most remarkable historical
incidents OF this century was the disap
pearance of the First Napoleon's enor-
nous fortune. In 1910 he was far and
away the richest individual In the world.
he came out of the Italian campaign
ending in 1900 with 81 600, 900, according
90 his own account. This he maintained
was lis private property. Taking the
statements be made to his friend aud
others at st. Helena, he must have had
hidden away when he left France the last
time the enormous sum Of $40, 200, 600. or
200, 600. 90 francs This would make
him very much the wta'thiest man In shs
world, for the sum then was equal In in
tluence to $500. .000. 900 now. No sover-
eign of this time could begin to approach
him IN personal fortune. Marshal Soult,
tue last of the Imperial. Marshals (who
died in November, 1851. just abeut year
before his great antagonist, the duke of
Wellingtonl told a venerable French
general officer. who repeated il 10 the
writer. that when the Emperor went 10
Elba he had go, 900 900 francs covered up
in Paris alone.
Of the IL, 200, 900 hard cash paid over
at one time By the United States 10 Ma.
poleon as First Consul in 1908. It wascom.

be sure. however that 1900, 900 francs
of the sum was never accounted for in
vouchers. This might easily have been.
Napoleon was then First Consul for
life. He could do just what he chose,
aud nobpdy dared call him to ac
count.
II is not very difficult to hide money
in large sums, too, so il cannot be found,
be the search ever so careful. Ferdinand
Word has some millions thus covered up,
and no human being has ever yet found
clue to the stolen treasure II was sad
and believed by many people. too. that
Stephen Girard. of Philadelphia, had
large sum in bis hands belonging to Ma
poleon l , which he would have banded
over to him had he succeeded in getting
away TO The United States after Waterloo,
as he tried 10 do. Louis XVIII, through
his Minister of Finance, did all In lis
power to discover this hidden treasure,
but those who knew would never tell.
They probably took II themselves when
the Emperor died in 1921. But 1t is q
very interesting and romantic story, the
DISAPPEARANCE absolutely or the create
fortune in the worlds history up to that
time, leaving not trace behind.

severe winters than those large Aocks
which roam the plains Of South America

Even with free lands the farmers Of
America cannot and could not compete
with those Of other lands in the produce

Even under the present high tariff it is
seen that they cannot compete or shut
out the foreign article, coarse or fine,
when in the last eleven months we have
imported l62, 100000 pounds OF the raw
staple; and us some Of this wool was
thoroughly cleaned and secured, it will
readily be conceded that our imports

OF our whole clip. 1t is admitted that
the price OF all fine woods is relatively
cheaper than ever known before.
Consequently, il trade is not active

General Golf seemed to be the choice of

these gentlemen, with the best interests
Of the Republican party at heart, and
with desire to see the nomination made
with a unanimlty that would augur
we'll for success in November, they
gracefully stepped aside, saying to the
people, through their representatives,
"thy will be done"
Gen. Golf did not desire the nomina-
ton. Indeed he fought hard against it,
pleading that the convention should not
consider his name under any circum-
stances, and that they should choose an
other, saying frankly that he was can
didate for the United States Senate and
for no other position. But it was nc
use. The tide was there; the conven'
ton demanded that for the sake OF his
State he should make sacrifice Of his
personal wishes; the more he attempt
ed to turn the tide, the greater 1t be-
came, until he was forced to accept the
inevitable.
Those who know General Golf know
that despite the fact that he would have
preferred another than himself to leac
the Republicans to victory, he will no
shirk the duty. He will heed the cal
and go in to win. Supporting him vii

The Republican State convention has
acted wisely. No man could have been
chosen for Governor whose name would
create greater enthusiasm among the
people of West Virginia than that OF
General Golf; none could give greater
strength to the campaign for Protection
and the redemption OF the State from the
hands OF the Bourbon Democracy. A
man OF broad intelligence, well versed
in public affairs; OF large experience as q
legislator; brilliant lawyer and orator;
a gallant soldier; with clean public
record, high private character, and
genial nature possessing superior execu.
tive ability; popular with the masses
and in perfect harmony with his party
on all questions, both National and
State, General Golf is peculiarly fitted to
be the standard bearer OF the Republic
