Z. Dlninutive Donkey Defeats Two
vicious Dogs In A Fierce Duel.
Meadyllle Pa. Letter: A fierce duel
was fought day or two ago at the.
Vallonia distillery between an inno-
cent-looking, sleepy little donkey and
two big and furious dogs that had
been for days seeking an opportunity
to tackle his donkeyship. The donkey
was running loose in the large, high.
fenced bull-yard at the brewery. His
owner, seeing the dogs growing and
eagerly showing their teeth at the
bull-yard gate and trying to get in,
concluded that he would give the dogs
chance. If they had been Siberian
blood hounds the barking brutes
could not have rushed with more
voracity upon the seemingly stupid
beast with long, shaggy hair and ears.
Prancing around himeon both sides
and watching their chance to grab
him by the throat together the dogs,
like brace of ravenous wolves, en-
circled the donkey.
Squirting lazily out of his off eve,
the donkey appeared most oblivious
to his danger. The dogs grew fercer.
AS both were about to catch his
throat in their teeth the donkey with
the speed of lightning flash lowered
his head and dashed toward the near.

Some years ago a few Indian

country than anything else, and when
they returned they told that the num-

an Indian can do nothing. That lot

white troopers much to the

NEW COIN DESIGNS.
Selection Of Models for the Subsidiary
Silver. a.

Selection Of Models for the Subsidiary
Silver. T.
The designs for new silver coins
which have made their first appear
ance this year, says the San Francisco
Call, were selected from narrow
range of subjects, the choice being
limited to two figures, one an eagle
and the other an emblem of liberty.
Congress was responsible for this
restriction, and empowered the Di-
rector Of the Mint to offer 800 for
each accepted model-not larga re-
Enumeration, considering that the
competitors whose work was rejected
received no compensation
The outcome was not surprising.
The competition produced no accep-
table result, each OF the offered
models being rejected as no better
than the very poor designs then in
use. The matter was then committed
to Charles f. Barber, the engraver Of
the Mint, who has ide!experience
in designing. He made the selection
Of designs now in use for the sub
sidiary silver coins, and if they are
open to some criticism from an ar
tistic standpoint, they are certainly
superior to those of the past half CEN
fury.
The mechanical conditions under
which coinage is carried on are some
what adverse to the sculptor's art.
In order to prevent loss by abrasion
the relief must be the. merest film.
Perfect uniformity to protect against
the counterfeiter must be secured,
the irregularity of antique coins adj
hitting OF many artistic effects not
possible with coins Of to-day.
Modern coins are struck by auto
matte steam machinery, the dies
coming together on the planchet as
often as 140 times minute. Simplci-
ity and regularity are therefore inn
posed upon the designer as necessary
conditions, and they undoubtedly
hamper him in his work.
