maker, Phillip Challis, to whom it posi- 4
bly, never occurred that his work would so 4
long out last the worker and be treasured /

generals eyes had moved and were look

little to one side. Since the Democratic
administration and the framing of the 1
Wilson Tariff bill, there are fewer people
who will feel moved, on hearing of this /
rascslity, to examine the contents of their I
pocketbooks. II the counterfeiters had
initiated the silver ten-cent pieces. II
