In the course of q lecture at the Ap.
prentices' library A. E. Outerbridge,
Jr., related an interesting incident that
serves to show how much more careful
Uncle Sam is in the destruction Of old
dies for coins than he used to be. "Some
time ago." said Mr.. ~Outerbridge, 81
was visiting the Office of a friend who is
o lawyer, when I noticed upon his desk
q little metal object, covered with three
or four coats of red paint, which was
apparently in use as a paperweight. It
was a government die for q silver dollar
of 1909. and for my friend to have it in
his possession was a penal offense. He
did not know what it was until I told
him, and he informed me that it had
been around the Office as o paperweight
as long as he could remember-4O years
at least. I gave him q silver weight in
its place and informed the authorities
at Washington Of the circumstance, also
forwarding my friends affidavit as to
what he knew about it.

supposed to be destroyed when discard

BETRAYED BY FLAPJAcKs.
A Waiter Who Can Tell a Mans occu
patton by the Way He Eats.

A Waiter Who Can Tell q Mans Occu-
patton by the Way He Eats.
There is a waiter in a Dearborn street
restaurant who has discovered the sci
ence of reading a mans occupation by
his IL of eating. He can look into
the calm eye Of q customer engaged in
disarticulating a cham and' and de-
termine with wonderful accuracy
whether the man is a scissors grinder or
a State street merchant.
OF course II must be q close observer
to do all this, and it isn't everybody
that is afforded a lunch counter for q
field of study. Yet if the student will
avail himself Of opportunities while
seated at the mahogany board he will
find that when the business man is at
the table some habit acquired in the
daily pursuance of his profession will
be sure to show itself.
For an instance, the banker may come
in and order wheat cakes. If he does,
the waiter declares he will invariably
dip his fingers in the water and run
over the cakes to see if there is a mis-
count.
The gambler will look around to see
if any nj is watching and then palm q
slice of bread. If he orders flapjacks, he
is sure to slip them one by one from the
bottom as he eats them. The clothing
salesman will hold his aapjacks up to
the light and feel the texture, while the
keen observer will notice that the jew.
eler, upon ordering pie, will hold it to
his ear, shake it and then listen, after
which he will lift off the top crust with
the point of his knife and examine the
insides.
During an interview the other day
the waiter stated that he called his new
science ''eatistry."

yet, " said he, land seldom q day passes
but that I learn some new point. Oh,
it's o great study, and 1 think in time
it will take it's place along with PALM
istry and phrenology and other kindred
sciences"
"Have you ever made q mistake in
Judging a mans occupation?"
"Only once and hat could hardly be
called a mistake, for I made no decision
as to the mans business. I confess !

ordered his dinner. OF course I gave

with some surprise and said, I didn't

"He thanked me, and what do You
think-he broke his bread into it and
then ate it with a spoon. I didn't know
what to make Of it. and for the life of
me I couldn't determine what his bust
ness was. When he was leaving, I tap
ped him on the shoulder and asked him
outright what he did for IL living.
"'Why, says he, 'I'm amilkman.' ."

ton of the Philippines by the United
States.
When Mr.. Chamberlain was asked as
to the opinion he held regarding the
most advantageous course which the
United States could pursue respecting
the Philippines he replied diplOmatical-
ly: However much would like to
talk upon this matter, I must not do
so for the simple and sufficient reason
that anything I might say in that di-
rection might seem like giving advice
or suggestion to the United States by
a foreign statesman and that besides
being invidious, would be impertinent." J"
Leaving, thereupon the direct line of
inquiry, Mr.. Chamberlain was asked
for his opinion in the abstract as it
were. Then it became apparent from
Mr. Cham mberlain'S conversation that he
viewed the holding of the Philippines
as an advisable course for America
both from a national and mercantile
outlook.
COLONIZATION is always a good thing
for any country he said. England 8
experience bears out that statement
thoroughly In the first place it tends
to uplift the whole character of the
nation. The government of colonies
compels a country to wider and broader
policies and national thought because
of the further responsibilities which are
incurred Instead of spending every
moment of its time in the consideration
of parochial or local matters, the hold
ing of colonies imposes an enormous
trust upon a home government, the
carrying out of which undoubtedly
helps any administration, because of
its broadening influences and these in
huences will always permeate with ad-
vantage through the country which
gives them rise. Colonization is bene-
fetal to any nation
1.-The cry is sometimes made that to
govern outside possessions detracts
from the proper attention which should
be given to internal affairs. But that
has not been England's experience. The
government of our colonies has not pre-
vented us from giving necessary and
adequate attention to national and
local issues In a word, colonization
brings out the qualities among the peo-
pie at home which insist upon domestic
reform"
In reply to the suggestion that pos
enced in its attitude on the Philippine
questions by intrinsic conditions, MT.
Chamberlain said: THE question IS
an important one, of course, but as a
rule all our colonies pay their own way
OF course we don't exact anything from
tribute They have the spending of
their own revenues and their receipts
usually are sufficient to cover their ex-
penditures In solitary cases, like the
West Indian islands, where there was
distress because of the failure of the su-
gar crop we gave help, but these in
stances are exceptional.
Another factor which should be wor-
thy of the deepest consideration is that
if you took the Philippines it would
make it manifest to the world that you
do not intend to be left out of the Pa
cific and China trade. The tendency
of recent events as you will know has
been to close China, which has hitherto
been open-to close its ports, to the
United States and England.

A CRISIS COMING.
Downfall of the Spanish Minis
try is Predicted.

Madrid. Sept 8.-The Spanish cabinet
at its meeting this morning agreed to
take the most stringent measures to
prevent the publication of the proceed
ing of the cortes and to provide for the
censorship of telegraphic dispatches.
The minister of foreign affairs, Duke
AlmodOvar de Rio, informed his col
leagues that, as a result of the negO-
tiations at Washington, relative to the
Spaniards in the Philippine islands, in
structions had been sent to the Span
ish consul at Hong Kong, in accordance
with the agreement reached.
The society for commercial union is
sending a petition to the cOrtes, de-
manding the closing of all the military
schools, the curtailment of retiring pen
siOns, that all officers returning from
Cuba be placed in the reserve, and that,
in addition, a budget of one million of
pesetas annually be provided for the
care of the sick and wounded Spanish
soldiers returning from the colonies.
The newspapers assert that the gov
ernment is greatly surprised and
cha grined at the attitude of the con-
serVatives in the chamber, which indi-

The life savers who know the coast
had predicted that the bodies would
drift in where they are. Two rude biers
were formed out of planks, taken from
near the life saving station and the
bodies placed upon them. In the mean
time the cavalry men had gathered
from up and down the beach and fol-

San Francisco, Sept. S.-The steamer
Glengyle from Honolulu reports that
the people of Hawaii have selected
Miss Anna Rose, of Hilo, Hawaii, to be
the queen of the Topeka, Kan, Carni-
val. The young lady is described as a
beautiful Hawaiian girl of faultless
manners and it is believed she will be
entirely acceptable to the people of To-

have forwarded money to defray the
expenses of the young lady and her
escort

brought the news of the young lady's
name who was chosen to act as our
queen will also bring her picture and
history which is probably now on the
way here in the mail. This news proves
what Mr.. Dan Case said in his letters
about the people there taking a great
interest in the project. The fact that
she is from HilO instead of Honolulu
proves that more than one town was
interested and that the contest was
among the different towns in the is
lands.

From all can learn in my capacity
as colonial secretary, continued Mr..
Chamberlain, significantly, ''the one
thing the continental powers are afraid
come to between the United States and
England"
The question of protection to Ameri-
can trade interests in her possible col
onies by placing similar tariffs upon
outside imports as are imposed in this
country was broached to Mr.. Chamber
lain but he dismissed it with this re-
ply:
IF you become a colonial power and
place tariffs upon foreign imports into
your possessions I venture to say that
your colonies would not pay. In view
of the fact, however, that you have
tried tariffs here and proved the policy
successful for years it would not be
becoming on my part to say anything
further on this head
+ Mr.. Chamberlain's attention was then
diverted to the subject of talked of al
lance between the United States and
Great Britain.
Il think he went on, ''that a some
what extreme view has been taken in
some quarters of the desire to establish
the best friendly relations between the
two nations. So far as I understand
the question, there is no proposition of
a hard and fast formal alliance pro-
posed A regularly drawn up and signed
treaty is not suggested so far as nv
knowledge goes What the English
people desire is no more than a COM
plete understanding and amicable rela-
tionS between the two continents. If
we can only understand each other bet
ter, think that a perfect unity between
the two countries will be developed
without the aid of any formal alliance
I can say with certainty that 80 out of
every 100 persons in England are eager
that there should be some sort of tacit
friendly agreement between this nation
and yours. The English people are
