RECONCILIATION - W. c. H. Torres.
Mexico. By order Of the executive in 1906
the coinage Of silver dollars was discon-
tinued for 50 years They were again coined
then as required by depositOrs of the silver
bullion until their coinage was suspended by
the act OF February y. 1873. The act of Feb
ruary IS 1873. revived their coinage at the rate
Of at least 100000 worth a month, and not
TO exceed $4,000 600. The act Of 1873 author
lied also the coinage Of trade dollars of 420
grains, not for circulation so much as dol
lars than for the convenience of merchants
for export 10 the East Nevertheless these
coins circulated, and the decline in silver
rendered profitable t. owners Of the bullion
lis coinage into trade dollars for use in cir
calatiOn. At first therefore. their coinage
was restricted and in April. 1873, suspended.
Although never legal tender these coins
circulated freely for a time, and for various
reasons Congress deemed it right TO indem-
uiiy the holders. The Forty ninth Congress
provided for the redemption Of al trade
dollars presented prior to September 3, 1887,
and thus s.. .6S9 036, out Of total Of S35, 965,-
924 coin, was redeemed.

The Origin Of the Tug-of-W0r.

From the Providence Journal
The origin of the tug -of-war is clouded in the
mists of the past The popular idea has been
that it originated with the Greeks, and Nathan
lei Lee soft-used expression, ''When Greek meets
Greek, then comes the tug-of-war," has always
been accepted without questioning. These
lines must have been inspired by false hypothe-
sis, or else the author took advantage Of the
liberties of poetic license. Nathaniel lived aud
wrote about l655. and, as there lie no absolute
record OF tug-of-war until fifty years later,
1t could hardly have been handed down from
the inhabitants of Golden Hellas, through whose
patrician veins athletic blood coursed. The
tug was doubtless known in Nathaniels time,
but the first record Of = competition is one
between two boat crews OF his maJestys
brig -of-war Titania, contested in the navy yard
at Portsmouth England. An old writer, evi-
IDENTIFY an admirer of the sport. WAKES enthu-
siastic over the result: "When with q long pull
altogether the boatswain' 6 team drew the captain
of the marines and his men first 10 their feet,
and then along their stomachs, nor ceased until
they had all let go of the rope and surrendered
uncouditionaly" Ii is not hard TO believe
that the snort originated IN the navy. Its
character would indicate that 1t did. But, be

JACKSON cITY's SUDDEN GROWTH
Suddenly and as if in a night there grew up

already made itself famous. The reason or its
being a simple one When the pool shops
were run ont of the city for the first time ii
was a comparatively easy matter for the book
makers to move their shops out on 9TH street
just beyond the Boundary. and there for some
considerable time they did a thriving business,
selling pools on the various races at the differ

young clerk on a small salary has had to walk
home for the simple reason that he did not
have the price of street ticket left after he

MIGHT WRECK THE TRAIN.
A Place Worn on the Wheel May Throw the
Car Oh the Track.

From the Bradford Era.
There's fiat wheel on this truck under this
end of the car" said an Erie official who sat in
the back seat Of the rear car of passenger
train. THAT must be taken out 1t might
wreck the train"
whats fat wheel?" asked the scribe
Listen" said the railroad man. .You hear
that rapid pat-pat-pat of the wheel? That's
caused by the fat wheel. On a spot on the
surface of the wheel a fiat place is worn. Ii
NAV be done, and is generally, by setting UP
brake so tight that the wheel slips on the rail
Let il slip but the least, yet a small place no
larger than silver dollar will be worn on the
wheel. The next time the brake is set up hard
the wheel stops with that same place on the
rail and it is worn larger.
by the time it is a couple of inches in diar-
eter it begins to pound every time the wheel
turns. Instead of running u true circle as It
revolves the wheel strikes fat on the rail when
the fiat spot is reached. The consequence is
that when the fiat spot has grown to be three
or four inches across 1t is n very dangerous
thing. Every stroke against the rail by the fat
side Of the wheel is liable to break the wheel
and ditch the train"
Around the shops and at nearly every cripple
track in the railroad world these fiat wheels
may be seen. As soon as one 10 discovered the
pair OF wheels affected is taken out and sent to
the junk track to be cast into new machinery
The fiat spots are plainly perceptible, but they
would hardly be judged by the uninitiated to
be Of sufficient importance to be one of the
most dangerous elements Of railroading, yet
such is the case.

1t 10 Better to Keep Down Upon Your Own
Level.
From the Detroit Free Press
Kitty, what have you been doing all the
NOR ning?"
The young housekeeper had invited o few
friends to take dinner in the new coy little
nome. 1t was her first experience in q COM
pany dinner and as for Kitty she had no ex-
perlence whatever and had to be drilled in do
nestle tactics like a raw recruit.
The wedding silver was brought down for the
nrst time. taken out of its pretty cases and laid
upon the sideboard.
Then the little housewife went to decorate
and straighten up the parlor. 1t was fascinat-
ing work and she fingered over it.
In the meantime Kitty, left to herself, pro-
ceeded to inspect the silver.
when the young mistress returned to the re-
glon where the one family servant vas sup
posed to be making things happen and found
nothing done as she had ordered, Kitty said:
already"
She had SEQ ured of the oxide from the we'd
ding spoons
1t was interesting to see the young husband
taking soup that day. He raised the spoon to
ms race, then looked ut his wife, who sent him
little telegram under the table, a kind of sub
domestic communion of souls which he was
just beginning to understand, somewhat swk-
wardly, as Is the way of a man.
The dishes for the different courses had all
been arranged for Kitty to bring on at the
proper time. The moment the little bell on
the dining table rang Kitty seized the pile of
dishes nearest her hand and rushing with
them into the dining room. held them up be-
lore her, and with questioning nod of the
mead from the lady to the plates and back again
she ascertained if they were the proper ones
for that course.
After this pantomime had been enacted sew
erai times, the mistress answering by nodding
yes or no. as the case required, trying at the
same time to conceal her annoyance as well as
her amusement, she finally broke down and
made a clean breast of it,
There 6 no use trying to be quality and have
dinner IN courses with such a servant may
Just as well let you in, the boys say, to the
fun of it"
Whereupon there was q jolly good time. and
the young husband declared that their first
company dinner as housekeepers would live
longer In history than if it had been according
to the re uiation and no mistakes
The spoons were sent to be reoxidized

the track Is pretty sure to be either hard

This is noted on the blackboard along with

he follows them around the track and gives the
position of the horses at the different quarters,
while all the crowd stand quiet and listen
