are heavily A,iled and the dirt surface becomes
hard and as smooth as glass.
Until recent years tho Herne Hill COURSE.
near London. was recognized as the fastest
, bicycle track INA the world. Lately. however.
the London County and CYCLING Club decided
that they would experiment with a wooden
track. and have just had one completed. 90.

there is also ono in at Savannah. In this coun-
try. but they do not seem to be SC satisfactory

League OF American Wheelmen contemplated
having wooden course at Chicago for tho in

idea. fearing that the experiment might bo q

| Came Back to Her.
She told him when he asked her il she
would like to go out and see the football
game that she would be only too glad to
go, because she did enjoy ball game 90
much and that she hadn't seen one for
tv'o years. when Charlie Joy took her
and told her all about it. That pleased
him immensely, for he didn't like Char
lie little bit and did dote on girl that
knew something besides embroidery and
caramels. So they went, and she looked
on. apparently in great interest, for half
an hour, and he was 80 absorbed that he
almost forgot her. It occurred to him
after awhile that she was there, and he
turned to her.
DO you understand it:'' he inquired.
"Oh, yes" she said; ''that is, most of
it, but I'm little rusty, think, and
some Of the terms hear don't quite
understand"
"What, for instance.'
We'll. what is touchdown"
"That's when a player touches the ball
back OF his opponents goal. and it counts
four points"
''Oh, yes, and what is 'putout:'"
'That's when player of the side which
has made touchdown kicks the ball
to player Of his own side, the object
being to get into better position for
kick at the goal"
''1es. l see." she responded in some
doubt, ''and what is 'charging:"
That's rushing forward to seize the
ball or to tackle player
Then she waited a few minutes until
lively tussle was ended and he could
give her moments time again.
Wasn't that perfectly loyely:" she
exclaimed, "and how stupid of me!
remember distinctly now that Charlie
told me all those points, and that three
strikes We're out, and when man stole
base the batter pounded him for three
hits, and when the ball got foul they

COINAGE OF SILVER.
Actual Resumption Not Yet
Taken Place at the
Mints.
Two Million Dollars per Month Can Now
BE Turned Out 1t he Deemed
Necessary.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-In reply to the
inquiries it is stated at the treasury de-
partment that actual resumption OF the
coinage OF silver dollars has not as yet
been ordered, but the mints have been
directed to manufacture ingots and
blanks SO as to be prepared to resume
coinage at short notice in case it should
be decided to do SO. "The mints at San
Francisco and New Orleans can, if
worked to their full capacity. coin about
2,oOO.ooO silver dollars per month" said
an official of the treasury department
today. There will be no coinage of sill
yer dollars at the Philadelphia mint for
/ some time to come. as all the efforts of
/ the force now there are concentrated in
turning out gold coin. The seniorage on
silver will approximate s7500OO per
month. the department having paid for
the silver purchased under the Sherman
act at an average rate of o2l cents per
ounce"
In view of the expected coinage of sil.
yer dollars the question has already been
asked whether the treasury department
| can issue treasury notes against the
seignorage, which. if the whole amount
OF the bullion was coined. would reach
to about So0.0o0.0OO. The official of the
department to whom the question was
asked replied that such notes could not
be issued against the seignorage. and in
support of this assertion he quoted the
following clause from the Sherman law:
but no greater or less amount of such
treasury notes shall be outstanding at
any time than the cost Of the silver
bullion and standard silver dollars coin
ed therefrom then held in the treasury
and purchased by such notes.
He said. however, the seignorage could
be deposited in the treasury and silver
certificates issued against il. which would
bring about the same results as the issu-
ance of treasury notes, so far as increas-
ing the circulating medium was con-
cerned. But they would be redeemable
only in silver and not in gold and silver
as treasury notes are. 1t is said treasury
notes issued under the Sherman act. and
which are redeemable in gold from time
to time. amount to S52.0Oo.OOO, and the
question has arisen as to whether the
bullion might not be coined into subsid-
iary silver, but the law on this subject is
also explicit, as it requires that the sec
retary shall each month coin 100000
ounces of silver bnllion purchased under
the provisions of the act INTO standard
silver dollars
