e PIuribus Unum on Oar Coins.

According to the United States mint
officials the words "E Pluribus Unum,"
as they appear on our coins, are there
without the sanction of law The
legend first appeared upon a copper coin
Struck" at the Newburg New York;
mint in the year 1856. The United
States were very young at that time
and could not afford the luxury of a
mint, so a private individual by the
name of Brasher opened the Newburg
coming establishment with the inten-
ton of turning out money Of the realm
for all corners. Exactly how the words
"E Pluribus Unum" came to be used as
a motto is not known, but one thing is
certain, the Brasher copper coin bear
ing that legend at the date of 1886 is
the most valuable metal disk ever mint
ed on this continent, being worth about
81. 900, or twice as much as the famous
rare dollar of 1904.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
described Brasher tried his hand on
large-sized gold piece, producing the
coin known to the numismatists as
'Brasher's twenty" The Brasher
twenty" was not $40 gold piece. how
ever, for it lacked 81 of weighing
enough; but of late years it has become
very scarce and valuable because of the
fact that the legend inscribed upon II
reads "Unum Z Plurfbus" instead OF
sc Pluribus Unum." This coin is now
valued at t,5OO-St. Louis Republic.

THE CURE is PERFECT.
Aged Patient of DIR. Roy is Free From
Cancer.

Aged Patient of DIR. Roy is Free From
Cancer.
A visit to John Stockman at his resi-
dence five and one-half miles east of
Plymouth, found the old gentleman en-
joying excellent health and very much
gratified with the manner and result
of DIR. Roy's exceptional treatment for
the cancer by which his face has here
tofore been disfigured. Mr. Stockman
is man not far removed from the
good old age of four score years.
About ten years ago the first pre-
monitory signs of coming cancer APP
peared on Mr.. Stockman' snose. After
the incipient growth had made some pro-
gress physicians were consulted who ad-
vised that nothing be done, probably
on the lame hypothesis that it was bet
ter to advise in this manner than to
frankly acknowledge the case beyond
their skill. This advice was taken and
followed until few months ago, when
IL SccmcQ Iuot COuiSc VI llCdIIuOh0
was imperative. The patient then call
ed upon Dr. Roy, the Hindoo of this
city, and had the cancer examined and
briefly related his experience with it.
He had now come to regard the cancer
as incurable and was not to be blamed
for receiving with some incredulity
DIR. Roy's statement that he could cure
it.
Arrangements for treatment were
made, however, on the basis of guar.
anteed cure, which after six weeks ter
minated in full redemption of the
guaranty.
Mr.. Stockman has lived in this vicin-
ity for the past Is years and is a man
more or less known in all sections OF
Marshall county. Previous to moving
here he lived fifteen years in Elkhart
county to which place he came from
Ohio. He was born in Pennsylvania
The removal of the cancer has oil

lated on the possession of this skill a!

The Obedient schooIboy.

A youthful friend of mine attending a
public school not twenty miles from Char
ing Cross celebrated his Fifth of Novem-
Der rather before the time, says a writer
in the Nottingham Guardian. Like most
boys, he had been saving up his pocket
money to do justice to the day, and yes
terday laid in a goodly stock of crackers,
Catherine wheels, sky-rockets, and
whatnots. But. alas for pride! He took
them to school with him to exhibit to en-
vious playmates. His class master, ped
agogue of the old school, espied the sur
reptitious passing and repassing of the
parcel, and jumped to the conclusion that
they were sweetmeats loved by youth
What have you got there, So-and-So?"
he queried promptly. Throw them behind
the fire. - please sir" commenced the
proprietor of the parcel. do as 1 tell
you at once" interrupted the master, and
the package of fireworks was thereupon
sacrificed to the flames. The illumina-
tons were what the Americans would cali
a trihe previous, but the effect was very
fine.
