The unprecedented demand for gold
coin for Christmas purposes may have an
effect farther reaching than the mere
giving Of holiday pleasure. Use of the
coin will tend to familiarize the people
with the handling of gold, and It will not
take them long to perceive the advantage
of coin over paper for pocket money. In
The small quantities required for the
pocket. =
The people are entirely familiar with
gold coin and need no teaching on that
score, but when they deposit gold coin in
a bank the scales are brought out and
the pieces weighed. For every grain
short the depositor is docked four cents.
When the bank pays out the gold It Is
counted at its face valne. II requires but
little handling aud carrying in the pocket
to rub few grains of Of gold coins Not
long ago man drew some money out Of
a bank, part Of the sum being in gold.
He carried the gold few days and not
having occasion to use it, deposited it In
the bank again The coin was placed on
the scale and the cashier informed him
it lacked rs cents Of being full weight.
The coin was counted out when he re-
ceiyed it 0nt weighed when he offered to
deposit it again. That is the reason the
people don't Ike gold coin, and il viii
continue to prevent its general circulation.
In the SOS when gold coin was as
small as one dollar pieces and circulated
at its face value, gold was as common as
silver. Shylock has made his appearance
in the United States siuce that time and
IS after his pound of flesh.

Kate Chase's Ambition.

The story of "The Dashing Kate
Chase and Her Great Ambition" is
told by William Perrine in the La
dies Home Journal for June. Born
in 1910, she early began to exhibit
masterful spirit, to study politics
and to dream of the possibilities in
store for her when her father, Sal
mon P. Chase, was proposed as a
candidate for the presidency in
1856, and again in 1860 When he
was called to cabinet position he
had been married three times, and
it was whispered that he was about
to make a certain lady his fourth
wife. But the resolute Kate had
made up her mind that no one
should step in between her and her
father, and one day when the lady
called she was made to feel so
keenly that she was an intruder
that the budding romance was
blighted and Chase remained
w1dower.
Even after Kate's brilliant mar
rage to Senator VIM. Sprague of
Rhode Island she still cherished the
ambition to see her father installed
in the White House, and was most
gracious to those who would be
likely to help her advance his inter-
ests. When he was appointed
chief justice she saw in 1t only a
scheme to head off his presidential
aspirations forever, and said, half
loosely, half reproachfully, to Sen
ator Sumner, who had voted for the
appointment, "And you, too, Mr..
Mr., Charles Sumner, in this bust
ness of shelving papa But never
mind, will defeat you all y
In 1868 she nearly succeeded in
getting the Democratic National
Convention to carry out her wishes.
1t was in session in Tammany Hall,
and she kept In communication
with it by messengers, waiting
for the moment when it
was believed her father would car
ny all by storm. On the fourth day
the moment seemed to have arrived
and her heart leaped with Joy. But
the expected stampede did not
come, and the impatient daughter
was almost moved to go herself to
Tammany Hall. Indeed, there were
some politicians who OBJ
served that if she could have gone

Negro Killed.

There was a sensational killing at
May6eld late Monday afternoon,
when Policeman Ed. Hamlet shot
and killed a negro man. The negro
had whipped his son numerically
ON the streets, Some citizen who
witnessed the beating swore out a
warrant against the negro and
Policeman Hamlet was sent to ar
rest him at his home. The negro
cursed and abused the officer and
swore no one could arrest him.
Hamlet told him he was already
under arrest and that he must go
with him. Thereupon the negro
struck the officer a terrible blow
over the eye with knucks, and to
protect himself from the frenzy of
the brute, Policeman Hamlet shot
him through the heart Fulton

had been a member of Congress

could enjoy such dinner. Mrs.
Lawler said she would fix a lunch
for the captain if any of us would
take it. I thanked her and said it
would afford me great pleasure to
do so. She fixed up dinner enough |
for half dozen.
When we returned to camp all |
were gone except a few guards
left to guard the camp. We were
in for it then, as extra duty or
some other punishment was our de-
served fate. l put myself to think

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
tarrh by the use of powders, acid gases
lnhalers and drugs in paste form
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inhalers have entirely
eaten away the same membranes that
their makers have aimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments can not reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years
made a close study and speciality of
the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a Treatment which when
faithfully used not only relieves at once
but permanently cures Catarrh by re-
moving the cause, stopping the dis
charges and curing the Inflammation.
1t is the only remedy known to sci
ence that actually reaches the afllict-
ed parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as"Snutiles the Guaranteed Ca
tarrh Cure"and is sold at the extreme
ly low price of One Dollar, each package

icine sufficient for one full months
treatment and everything necessary

"Snuffles" is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made, and is now

cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all Inflammation
