THE DOLLARS AT WORK.
How Silver Would Get Into CircuIa-
ton Under the System of
Free Coinage.

How would silver get into circulation
under free coinage? Many correspon-
dents ask for information on this point
and brief answer will be given. I'm
der free coinage the owner of silver bull
lion would take it to the mint and have
it coined into dollars. With these dol
lars he would pay his employees, pur-
chase his supplies, pay his taxes, debts
and all other expenses. The persons
thus receiving them would in like man
ner pay their debts and liabilities and
meet their expenses. Thus it would
make its rounds and find its way
through the entire community. Not
only would it at once enter into circu
linton, but it would have the effect of
bringing q large amount of money into
use that is now lying idle. AS silver
foated out into the channels of trade it
would raise prices and stimulate bust
ness. When prices rise money always
comes from its hiding places for invest
ment. When property is gcjng up men
will buy it, expecting to reap profit
from the rise. When prices advance
when property becomes Gearer - it
means that money is getting cheaper.
Therefore men who have money are
anxious TO avoid loss by converting
their money which is falling into prop
erty that is rising. This explains why
| it is that in seasons of falling prices and
business stagnation there always seems
to be a superabundance Of money That
is, a large amount OF idle money for
which there is no use. When property
values are falling the maui with money
holds on to it. He says: Ai.f 1 buy now
the property will shrink ~ value and /
will lose. So | will wait until the bot
| tom mark is reached" But as soon as it
gets to the bottom he will buy, provid-
| ed, always, that he sees & chance for an
upward movement. There is scarcely
anyone who has not acted upon this
principle, and who does not act upon ii
every day. Briefly and concisely stated,
the principle is this; When prices are
! falling it is advantageous to hold on TO
our money If we have any; when prices
are rising it pays better to invest the
money in property or in some produc-
| tive enterprise. The argument (?) by
the gold people that if we had free coin
aoe the poor man would not be able to
oct any of the money coined presents
another of their innumerable absurd
flies and contradictions. In one breath
tbev insist that the poor man will %
Headed down with cumbersome 5O-ceu:
dollars, and in the next that he will not
be able to get any OF them, even il 'hey
! be coined.

AMERICAN BLUFF WON.
Nerve of Yankee Tourist Who
Didn't Propose to Be Left
Out in the Cold.

"Here at home bluff doesn't count for
much" said globe trotter, 'but I'm
telling you that good, stiff bluff, with
q cheeky American behind it, is worth
lot of money in Europe. When got
around to Nice last yea1 the best hotels
were crowded and ] mad to take up
with small room. On the same floor
was German who was occupying 4
suite, though not spending much money
or putting on any great style. One day
there was a great row. The landlord
had asked him as a particular favor to
vacate for a newcomer, and, of course,
the man didn't propose to be turned
out. The landlord coaxed and argued,
and the German growled and muttered,
and 1 followed them down to the office
to see how it would come out. AT the
desk was an American I had run across
in Venice-a buyer for a Chicago dry
goods house. When the landlord and
the German began to gable in chorus
the buyer pulled blank check from
his pocket and reached for pen and
said:
"'All this talk is of no use. I want
rooms here. / will buy the hotel and
select my suite. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?'
"'You would buy the hotel!' ex-
claimed the landlord, as he threw up
his hands in surprise.
"'Grounds and all, and I want it to-
day How much-a million-three or
nd hof chol1 f11 ~,
ON the check?'
Say, now" laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen that thing
work! The German had determined to
be ugly about it, but when he bumped
up against a man who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fan
cied he felt awed and humbled and
ready to quit. The landlord figured
that to turn away such Croesus would
ruin his house, and it wasn't half an
hour before the buffer was installed
in the suite and the German was
chucked into a dog hole on the top
floor. And that wasn't all, mind you.
When they sent the buyer bill on his
supposed millions he got up and threat'
ened to buy up the town and start six
soap factories to running, and they cut
every item in two and begged his par
don to boot. | don't believe that chap
had $1,000 to his name, but he just
walked over everything and everybody
for two weeks, and it was current Cos
sip that he owned the whole of Chicago
and a good share of ST. Louis and Gin
cinnati. Nothing but cold bluff which
wouldn't have taken him into an
American dance hall as deadhead, but
it was equal to letter of credit fo1
$1,0OO,O00 over there. Seattle Times.

Illnoisan Has an Ugly Face.

George Geiger was said to be the ugli-
est man in Illinois. He kept coun-
try store in Versailles, little town in
this state, in the earlier days and
made large fortune. He spent his
money freely and was jolly good fell
low. But his face! 1t made the chill
dren cry to look at it! Geiger went to
New York in the days of his pros
perity and there was not much
that he did not see. The first Sunday
he was in town he went to Trinity
church and seated himself in an empty
pew well forward. While the first
lesson was being read stranger en-
tered. Geiger politely made room and
passed over prayer book. The stran-
ger scowled and taking pencil from
his pocket, wrote on the fly leaf: This
is my pew" Geiger wrote back:
Damned fine pew; what will you take
for it?" This settled the Christian
gentleman and he did not bother
Geiger again. At the conclusion of
the service the owner of the pew
put out his hand to Geiger and begged
his pardon for his rudeness and lack of
Christian hospitality. That's all
right" said Geiger; sits my face, as
usual, that was the cause of it, From
that time the two men were fast
friends, and together had many a
laugh over their first meeting.

PRAISES AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
A Leading japanese Paper Pays
United States Volunteers
Remarkable Tribute.

For the last three days we have had
in Yokohama nearly 5000 American
volunteers who, having completed their
term of service in the Philippines, are
now homeward bound. They are the
Nebraska and Utah regiments on board
the Hancock and the Pennsylvania reg
iment on board the Senator. Many
remarks have been made about the gen
eral appearance of these men, who.
coming as they do from hard fighting
at the front against the Filipinos-and
the Nebraska and Utah regiments have
done some of the severest fghting-do
not always present the spotless purity
of appearance usual in soldiers on pa
rade. They are nearly all big men.
some, and, in fact, most of them. show
ing clear traces of the campaigning and
mental worry to which they have been
subjected in their sunburnt skins and
somewht cadaverous cheeks. But one
thing is apparent to everybody, and
that is the exemplary behavior of the
large number of men on shore leave.
A few thousand soldiers are small
army, and nobody who has watched
them can have failed to remark, as they
roam over the town, their quiet and
friendly demeanor toward japanese
and foreigners alike and the entire alb
sence of drunkenness among their
ranks. The police, on whom the brunt
of keeping order devolves in the first
instance, report-both in Nagasak and
here-that they have not had single
case of refractory behavior or intoxi-
cation to deal with. Large numbers of
hotel their headquarters, and there
they can be seen at leisure. All of
them seem to have money to burn"
for they have bought curios and
souvenirs of Yokohama in large guam
titles. And this is not to be wondered
at, for, aside from the fact that The
American soldier is the best paid sol
der in the world we find that their
ranks are not made up of vagabonds,
who were out of job in the first place,
and took the chance to get employ
ment, but of intelligent men, among
whom are bankers, lawyers, merchants
farmers, mechanics, ETC., who left their
homes when the country called for vol
unteers to fight for its cause. And
these men have done honor to their
country and theis flag. They have
shown that gentlemen can be fighters
and are proving now that fighters can
be gentlemen.-Japan Herald.

Pa went through an expressive panto-

Afterward Mrs. GLADDEN. declared that
pa spent the happiest week of his life
getting ready for that couple to be re-

break in her voice, "Asahel, you never

eyes, and his voice quavered.
''Never before" he whispered, "but
I'm so afraid you can't hold this one

One dry sob brought him to terms.
''It air. he whispered, tiptoeing over

Mrs. Gladden's attitude toward the

census Word Family

There are some queer features about
the census use of the word family
1t means practically those who eat al
the same table A hotel is a family
The Memorial Hall Dining association
at Cambridge is family, so is the Dan.
vers lunatic asylum. A stray man who
keeps bachelors hall is family. The
necessity for this use of the term came
with the question of enumerating do
nestle servants. 1t was found abso-
lutely impossible to attach them to
their own families, scattered as thew
are. They had to go with the family
they were living with. This led to con-
tinuation of the principle with the re.
suit mentioned. As it works out the
census family differs from the actual
family in size only by small fraction
of one person.-N. Y. Post.

SIR JOHN WATERS AS SPY.

Sir John Waters was the most admir-

formation about the Spaniards. Once
he was taken prisoner by Spanish
dragons while clad in the English uni
form. He was supposed to be stupid
Britisher who could not understand a
word of French or Spanish, and his cap
tors talked freely before him. Then he
learned that they were going to kill and
rob him at an old mill where the COM
pany was to stop for dinner. They
would pretend that they had shot him
because of his attempt to escape. On
reaching the mill the Dragons dis
mounted and went into the house. leav-
ing their prisoner outside, in the hope
that he would try to escape. AS soon as
they were out OF sight Waters threw his
cloak on a nearby olive bush and put
his cooked hat on top Empty -four
sacks lay on the ground and he crawled
into one Of them. A moment later the
dragons came out, fired their carbines
at the supposed prisoner and galloped
off, intending to return later to rife the
