AN OLD GOVERNMENT DIE.
Used by Lawyer as q Paperweight For
Years.


In the course Of a lecture at the Ap-
prentices' library A. Z. Outerbridge,
.lr., related an interesting incident that
serves to show how much more careful
Uncle Sam il in the destruction of old
dies for coins than he used to be- "Some
time ago." said Mr.. Outerbridge, II
was visiting the Office of friend who is
lawyer, when noticed upon his desk
little metal object. covered with three
OF four coats Of red paint. which was
apparently in use as a paperweight. Il
Was a government die for O silver dollar
OF 1909, and for my friend to have It in
his possession was penal offense He
did not know what it was until I told
him, and he informed mo that it had
been around the Office as a paperweight
as long as he could remember-40 years
at least. gave him silver weight in
its place and informed the authorities
at Washington Of the circumstances, also
forwarding my friends affidavit as to
what he knew about it.
At that time. though all dies,were
supposed to be destroyed when discard.
cd, the system was rather lax, and they
sometimes found their way into the pos
session of junk dealers Iagreed to turn
over the die upon condition that it
should not be destroyed, but kept in the
runiismatio collection at tho Phiadel.
phia mint, and that mighE borrow it
as future time to illustrate lecture.
The conditions were agreed to- and I
have brought the die with me tonight
to show to you. had to write a very
formal letter to get 1t, stating the pur.
I.@c FOR which it was TO be- used, and it
must be returned tomorrow morning"

Wilson Smith is fixing to build him

On last Friday afternoon the little four

her legs cut off or ground up by cog

before any bones were broken The
calf of her leg was badly cut. DR.. HOr
ton dressed the wound and thinks she
will be all right, as no leaders were cut
or bones broken.
j. II. Fountain, former county commits.
sioner, is now citizen of Westminster.
All the best citizens are coming to the
BANNER township Come on, We well
come you all TO our fertile lands. Come
where plenty will reward industry.
Come where the blues do not cast their
ghostly shadows to drive away the smiles
of ha ppiness from the bright faces of
the best citizens in all the realm; where
peopl e abide by the golden rule and OBJ
serve the decalogue; where purity in
politi 5 is not an irridescent dream, for
we are all populists.
War! war! war! is the cry among those
who woulu be more likely TO run than
fight. Peace peace. peace is the motto
OF all sober, thinking Americans who
realize the crimes of war. IL is true We
must defend our national honor, but il
is also true that we must not seek to get
our honor offended. Might was right in
ancient times, but education and Christ
ianity in modern ayes should eliminate
war by arbitration. War in fact is a
relic of barbarsm. The gain does not
balance the less in most disputes settled
by war between nations. The thousands
of lives sacrificed at the command Of
Napoleon, Alexander and other noted
warriors, simply to gain for them the IL
tie Of emperor, was crime aud bloody
stain upon the page of history. We be-
lieve in fighting for just cause, such as
American Independence, if necessary.
| But our rebellion WAS a crime that might
have been avoided had President Lin
coin not been too much importuned by
those who expected and derived much
benefit from the spells. The govern
ment is still paying dearly for that strug-
gle might have been avoided. The wall
OF the widows and orphans made so by
cruel war is enough to drown the shouts
of victory; only in selt-defeuse or when
the cause is absolutely just. Why then
should we go to var with Spain and
perhaps sacrifice more lives of American
citizens than the number Of the inhabit-
ants on the island of Cuba, AN inferior
race of beings at that. We blame few
reckless, daring Americans for stirring
up the animosity that has step by step
led to the present prospect Of being com
PEELED to war with Spain. In other
words, there has been too much med
ding. We believe Cuba is able to
shake off the shackles of slavery without
American Intervention. 1t may he too
late To advocate peace. but if possible
let us stop the calamity of war by arbi-
tration or other means.

GREAT PASTORAL PLAY.

Shore Acres" has been played up
wards of seventeen hundred times in
this country, and is universally recog-
nized as the greatest pastoral play ever
written for the English-speaking
stage. It is strange, but true. that this
interesting comedy-drama was offered
to every well-known theatrical man
ager in American. and, while a number
OF them thought Shore Acres" a fair
ly good play, they did not care TO risk
any money in its production. All this
happened about eight years ago, and
since then these astute purveyors OF
the drama annually count up the for
tunes they might have earned with
this charming idyl OF American home
life. In speaking of Shore Acres. %
Rev. Lyman Abbott said some time
ago: "If there were more such whole
some plays as Shore Acres, the whole
sale denunclation of the stage by the
pulpit could not long survive" For
the present season entire new scenery
has been prepared for "Shore Acres,
and several novel effects have been in
tTOduced. The play is underlined for
presentation at the Opera House next
Saturday night.
