SPANISH DOUBLooNS.

The coins were made on hand ma
chimes, about the year 1921, by an En-
glishman named Peach, assisted BY a
boy; these two persons were the only
parties acquainted with this singular
episode in numismatic history. The
ubloons were of the standard quail
~ and weight, of seventeen penny
weights eight grains, and of the type
of 'Carolus Ill, the die being made
identical to that of the original pieces.
AT that time there was a spasmodic
scarcity Of these pieces in the market,
occasioned probably by some war in
the Spanish settlements, and they COM
manded a premium of from two dol
lars to two and a half dollars apiece
The business continued for about ten
months. at the end OF which time, the
demand being supplied. they were no
longer sufficiently profitable.
From two hundred TO three hundred
pieces were struck per day Gold Of
about double the weight required was
put into the melting pot and afterward
cast into an inCot. The work was done
IN New York city.
After being completed the coins were
placed in a small barrel with sayvdust
and revolved By crank running
through the center Of the barrel; this
bruised them little, took of the fresh
look and gave them the appearance of
having been circulated. After being
taken out OF the barrel they were placed
separately on a large sheet OF iron
which was put over charcoal furnace
The result 81 this roasting was 20 tar

LIKtS KICKING.

The action of the Democratic conven-
ton at Hutchinson day before yester-
day can hardly prove satisfactory to the
average Demo rat. 1t lacked honesty
of purpose. 1t did not endorse the cham
pIon of option dealing and the sugar
manipulation, Jerry Simpson, in words,
but did in spirit, SO far as it left an open
opportunity for Jerry and his friends TO
make advances IN the way of 'pap''
propositions. All of the abuse which
the Pop party has heaped upon the
Democrats of the Seventh district was
swallowed, and the convention, in
effect, admitted that it liked to be
kicked with plow shoes well studded
with hob nails.
The central committee will make no
nomination, and the fellows who expect
to get help from Jerry will, before
November, be found pushing and pulling
out all their might for his reelection.

sUPEa> TITIUUo TRAVELLERS.
From the Pittsb burg Post

! No one but the experienced passen-
ger conductor knows just how whimsi-
! cal and cranky the travelling public
/ really is. 4 traveller may have some
! peculiar fad or notion when he is on
( the road. but he never dreams that
( there are thousands of others just like
| him, or perhaps worse. In years of
experience the conductor rubs elbows
with all sorts of people, and in spite
| of himself becomes a mind and face
/ reader who takes a back seat for no
one except the professional.
'Yes, travellers are superstitious and
| cranky" said a veteran knight of the
punch recently in response TO a
/ query. Il think the average passen-
ger conductor deals with more oddities
| daily than the curio collector of a
| freak show. As TO superstition, |
think there is more of it crops out
on trains than anywhere else. Last
week, just as the train was ready TO
pull ont for Chicago, well-dressed
man came out of the coach on the
platform, and in an agitated manner
asked me what day it was.
Il told him it was Friday, and with
out another word he re-entered the
coach and in moment returned with
his luggage, land by way of explanation
stated that he never began journey on
Friday, and would wait until the next
morning. That is only a sample The

haps the cause of more worry and in
convenience to tourists than any other
sign which they deem of ill-omen.
have known passengers to begin at
the head /of the train to see If they
could find number thirteen anywhere.
'If the engine happened to be thlr-
teen they would resignedly wait for
the next train, and if they succeeded
in finding number thirteen on any of
the coaches they would hold up their
hands in holy horror. have seen pas
sengers refuse to ride in a coach which
held thirteen passengers, and if you
will ask any ticket man he will tell

"Then aside from the superstitions
which prevails among the travelling
public there are coun ntless passengers
who are cranky, and if they lose a
chance to kick are in bad humor for
a week afterward. They kick for a
seat in the center of the coach; kick
because the train goes too slow or too
fast; kick because they are in the
draught, or because it is too hot.
And the worst of it all is that when
they kick ! am the individual who is
called up to hear them, as if l were re-
sponsible for the whole business.
About the only time when some fell
lows don't kick is when they are on
their honeymoons. Everything goes
on as smoothly as If it had been or
dered so, but let the same men ride on
the same train five years later and the
chances are they win kick themselves
into exhaustion
