TO MAKE A HOME OF A HOUSE
HOLD.

People who are apt to condemn those
who lie abed until late in the morning,
little realize that in early rising there
are some perils. r ,fering to this sub
iect, a well known physician lately
said. in the course of a lecture, that
early rising is a prolific u of in
sanity in those who are compelled to
retire late at night. The brain and
system need a Certain amount
of reDose. and that is q matter IN
which you cannot safely economic
Many people, of course, are Obliged to
rise early. Their work demands it
Fortunately, also. their work usually
permits them to retire early. Thus the
balance of nature is redressed. But
there are many people who, for n
reason and another, cannot get to bed
early. To demand that they shall be
up to an early breakfast, or to stigma
tIze them as lazy Oh self indulgent be-
cause they take their time aoout ap-
pearing in the morning, ls most unjust,
and the housekeeping that cannot be
adjusted to q tired brain workers late
breakfast is itself sadly in need OF re-
form. Statistics have shown that there
is a disproporCionate numOer OF cases
of insanity among farmers wives IN
New England. This has generally
been attributed to the social isolation

a row with little Johnny Neeley, but
they couldn't prove it at the inquest.
It was late at night, and Neeley was in
the faro bank playing the high card
and losing right along, as usual. He
seemed to have faith that his luck
would change that night and Kept close
watch of the game. He had spent his
last dollar for chips and had staked his
last stack when Arizona Jake entered
the place with a regular Indian war
wboop and fired a shot through the
roof as a warning that he was out for
trouble. Nearly every one in the place
got out of the way, but Johnny NeeIey
did not even look UP from the card
table. Jake vas a big, strong fellow,
when he caught sight of the little,
smooth faced chap sitting there play
ing faro it seemd to set him wild. He
walked over. and, catching hold of the
back of Neeley's chair, lifted both
fore feet from the floor and let go. The
young gambler got quite a lit by the
fall, and as he Strengthened his chair
he looked in mild surprise at the big
desperate who lowered three feet
above him.
"Get out, you white faced kidd Go
home to your mai You are q nice
looking thing to be sitting down to a
game like a man! Get outl WhoopT
With a fearful string of oaths Ari
iona Jake brandished a pistol over
Neely1s head and. ordered him to leave
the game and get put of the house.
The boys held their breaths for a
minute, but to their surprise Neeley
merely said to the big bully, please
go away and do not annoy me-"
Go way Ha! hal | like thatI Say,
young fellow, do you know met" Let
me finish this DEAL" replied the young
gambler.
The big bully seemed a little nom
plused because Neeley would not re
sent anything he did, and, standing a
few feet away. he began to curse and
abuse the young fellow. By this time
Neeley had lost his last chip.
III try one more deal. Give me s.
worth of chips on my gum" said the
gambler as he took out his revolver
and passed it over to the dealer. The
chips were pushed across the table and
Nicely staked them all on one turn of
the cards.
Arizona Jake had seen the young
man pass over his pistol, and with a
yell he 1mped and seized Neeley by
the collar, lifting him clear over his
head. He swung him around two or
three times and then let him drop on
the floor.
Medley Ianded-on his feet and tn are
was fire in his eyes. Q ick as a flash
he reached across the faro table and
snatched up his pistol from the open
drawer where the dealer had put it.
Jake saw the movement and reached
for his own gun, but he was not quick
enough. There was a loud report and
the big, cowardly outlaw tumbled over
shot through the heart Neeley turned
back to the faro table just as quiet asit
nothing had happened, and, handing
his pistol back to the dealer, he said:
go on with the deal. My last five

THE EARLIEST AMERICAN COINS

The very earliest coinage 1lat can be
called American was ordered by the
Virginia company and was minted in
the Bermudas in the year 1912 At
that time, and for a long time after,
tobacco was the standard currency In
Virginia. In 1916, however, the VIr-
GINA assembly, after reciting that it
had maturely weighed and considered
how advantageous a quoine (coin)
would be to this colony, and the great
wants and miseries which do daily
happen nto it by solely depending on
tobacco" provided for the ISSUE of cop
per coins of the denominations of two
pence, threepence, sixpence and nine
pence, but nothing was ever done to
ward carrying out the law.
Seven years later, in May, 1862, the
general court" of Massachusetts
passed a law which created a mint
house" in Boston, and which directed
that a regular coinage be established.
The coins provided for by this law
we're, In the quaint language OF the old
statutes, Ito bee IL pence, 6 pence and
8 pencepeeces, which shall be for forme
fatte and stamped on one side with N.
E, and on the other side with charac-
ters kid, vid and lid, according to the
value of each peece." Tnis Boston mint
was the one which produced the
famous ''oak tree and ''pine tree shill
ings," which are highly valued by col
lecsors of old coins and which have
sold as high as $25 each. This early
mint continued In operation for "a
years. During the reign Of William
and Mary copper coins were:struck at
this mint for the Carolinas as well as
for New England in general. The first
coins struck for Maryland were silver
shllllngs. sixpence and fourpence
pieces, which Lord Baltimore caused
to be minted in London.-St. Louis
Republic.

MRS. STOVES LATEST STATUE.

Hartford, the home of Harriet
Beecher Stowe during the last years
of her life, is to be the first city hon.
ored with a memorial monument of
the author of Uncle Toms Cabin. w.
Clark Noble, the sculptor, has only re-
Gently completed the clay model of
the statue, which he designed for the
Harriet Beecher Stowe Memorial As
ISOLATION of Connecticut, and which is
now on exhibition at the State Capitol
at Hartford.
The statue, which is - feet high, is
to be cast in bronze. 1t represents
Mrs. Stowe seated, with the grateful,
worshiping figure of Uncle Tom be-
meath, stretching forth brawny pair
of arms, from which hang broken
shackles. The design is one which
Mr.. Noble considered best after much
deliberation. The figure of Mrs.
Stowe is idealized in so much as to
make her speculatively heroic.
q Mr.. Noble, the sculptor, worked
out the features of Mrs. Stowe from
the impression left upon his mind by
a careful study of a number of photo
graphs of her taken at middle life,
which were presented to him by her
sister. Although the design has been

accepted, the sculptor is considering
the advisability of remodelling the
head SO as to represent Mrs. Stowe as
she was at the time of the publication
of Uncle TOMS Cabin, and with this
thought in view he has collected such
photos and prints of the Mrs. Stowe
Of that time as are still extant. The
model at Hartford is at present an
object of much interest, and the un-
