and sos, will buy patterns that one
third more money would not have
bought four years ago. 1t is not that
the suites are less pleasing now than
at that time 1t is because the spirit
of progress and invention has urged
the manufactures to use newer ma
chinery and more advanced method
in the prod of furniture that
these conditions exist. Although
these really remarkab BILE low prices
are manifest to all judges Of reliable
furniture, the reduction has not been
at the expense OF the suits. There is
an exhibition of better construction,
better ornamentation, better style in
all respects than in former years 1t
seems scarcely credible that as low
prices as those above quoted can
long exist on durable full polished,
and in the higher priced suites re-
markably elegant creations. The
earliest Indications of the advent of
good times will cause manufacturers
to advance prices which now yield
such ridiculcusly low margins, par
ticularly on fine furniture We
would advise immediate purchase.

EXPOSED DIR. HUME.


The spfrituaIistic ss1zntertainment' at the
Topeka Opera House Last Night
The spiritualistic entertainment at the
Grand last night succeeded in capturing
a two hundred dollar house. DR.. Ale K
ander Hume and Miss Kate Fox were
not in the best of humor when it was
over, and all on account Of young ma
J. c. Fulton, from North Topeka, who
was too curious for any USE
He was on the stage as one of the COM
mittee, and proceeded to EXPOSE" the
doctor with considerable enthusias N. It
became monotonous after awhile, and
Fulton says the doctor threatened to
brain him with a chair If he didn't quit
looking over the railing Of his spirit ca b.
met. 1t was lots of fun for the audience
AS q matter of fact the entertainment
was fake, and the doctor advertised to
do lots of things that he didn't even at
tempt on the stage. The s'seance. con-
sisted simply Of a lot Of Herman's old
tricks poorly done.

for discussion IN congress, and the disc
cussions We're quite as bitter and often
along lines very similar to those 90 tHe
present day Tt would be nauifcaty
out Of place to enter into details coa-
corning them IN such an article as this.
The mint at Philadelphia, where the
first federal money mill was established.
has always been the main coinage place
Of the government as to number of
pieces, though not ais 40 value thereof
The gold coinage has been done prime
cipally at San Francisco since the open-
ing of the mint there, which followed
the discovery Of gold. The Philadelphia
mint is an extremely interesting institu-
ton, especially to the numismatist, for
there is to be seen tho largest collection
of coins in the United States. including
specimens of the continental dollars
coined by the colonies before tho estab-
Hshments of the federal mint and ng-
ured here; Of the "horsehend' coins
of New Jersey, also here illustrated.
and Of almost every series Of coins ever
struck in this country, either by the
federal government, the colonies and
states, or by private individuals.
To the general public it is likely that
the actual making Of the coins is more
interesting than are the old pieces. The
machinery and methods employed in
Uncle Sam mint are of the latest and
most approved pattern, and although
the pressure applied in the powerful
stamps, presses and dies every time
piece is turned out is something cnor-
nous the machinery is so slillfuIiv
adapted to its work, and all its parts ono
SO delicately adjusted that the opera
tions seem to 60 on without much dis
play of power. An orderly, who has
been employed about the mint for many
years, explained the process in IS mute
shell one day to q lady visitor, and the
explanation was so simple and s0 chrr-
acteristic that she printed it, Perhaps
its repetition here may be excused On
the same grounds:
Making money, - said the officer, 'tis
just like making cake. You milk the
dough. We mix the metal You RON out
the dough into shape. We roll out the
metal into bars. You cut the dough into
shape. We cut the metal into coins
Then we stamp them. The metal chat
is left over is melted up and used again.
just as the cook gathers up the loft
overs, rolls them again and cuts more
cakes. -
Gould anything be simpler?

How Young Mr.. Labouchere Rose to
Emlnence-
In 1922 Mr.. Labouchere, a relative
of the present member of parliament
of that name. was clerk in the bank
ing house Of Hope Of ANS terdam. One
day he was sent BY his patrons to Mr..
Barring, the celebrated London bank
err, and displayed in the affair SO
much ability as to entirely win the
esteem and confidence of the English
banker
Faith said Labouchere one day
to Barring, your daughter is a charm
ing creature. I wish I could persuade
you to give me her hand.
Young man, you are joking, for
seriously you must allow that Miss
Barring could never become the wife
of a simple clerk. .
''But, said Labouchere, s'if were
in partnership with Mr. Hope?"
''Oh, that would be quite a differ
ent thing; THAT would entirely make
up for all other deficiencies"
Returning to Amsterdam La
bouchere said to his patron:
You must take me into partner
ship"
MY young friend. how can you
think Of such thing2 1t is impossi-
BILE. You are without fortune, and
But If i became the son-in-lavv Of
Mr.. Baring?''
In that case the affair would so on
be settled, and so you have my word. "
Fortified with these two promises,
Labouchere returned to England and
two months after married Miss Bar
ing, because Mr. Hope had promised
to take him into partnership and he
became allied to the house of Hope
