Right Doing.

Ones rlghtful work is often halted
by fear of what others will say about
it. This may be even more barrier
to the work than the fear Of not doing
the work ut all. 1t takes courage to
do what we believe we ought to do,
when we think we shall be criticised
or misunderstood or scorned. But the
real calamity lies In not doing what
we ought. OF this 1t is well to have
so strong a fear that we shall have
courage to face whatever others may
Say of our right doing.

when Coins We're First Made.

Certain passages in the "Iliad" Of 10
mer would lead to the inference that
coins Of brass were struck as early
as 1854 b. G. Tradition afilrms that
the Chinese had bronze coins as early
as 1120 b. G. But Herodotus, "the
father OF history" ascribes the "lnven-
ton" of coins to the Lydlans. about
nine centuries Il. c.. and there is no
satisfactory evidence that coins were
known prior to that date.

THE HlAWATt1A AND MINNEHAHA STATUE
Mrs. L. P. Hunt Throws New Light the Undertaking
$1,000 in Hand

originally intended. For ten years I have
given my time and in various wavs added
something to the few dollars left after ship
ping the cast to Minneapolis. I also have
had the revenue from the sale OF photos.
which Mr.. Beard of your city
kindly handles for me. Ali moneys
belonging to the fund have been and
still are drawing interest. which is added to
the principal. In this way / have secured
about $1,000 and If Minneapolis wishes to
furnish the base and bear the other small
expenses for setting same, believe the cast
can be in place before the roses bloom again.
inclose you some documentary evidence
to show that l know whereof speak and am
in position to give all the facts and 1ntorma-
ton upon this subject that your correspondent
can wish for. No enc will be more delighted
upon the completion Of this work than myself.
It has been a long. hard pull, and with very
little help or even encouragement, and but for
the fact that 1 had promised the school chill
dren to do this work for them, should lona
ago have let it drop.
Mrs, H F. Brown and Mr. Beard OF the
Beard art store have always been with me In
this work, aiding me whenever possible, but
I have sometimes wished for financial aid be-
yond that given. I have had but TWO dona-
tions. outside of my own, since began build
ing lp a fund for the bronze cast. and until
recently I have felt it almost hopeless un-
dertaking But now the interest will. IN
few years at most. provide sum ample Tor
the need.
Trusting that this explanation will set at
rest any further doubt as to the fnal disposal
of the plaster cast, and thanking you for past
favors, am sincerely yours, -s-Ea-

Custodian of Statue Fund.
