men do not wear life preservers; they
go to their work as fireman springs
to his engine in case Of fire call. The
life Is one of hardship, and many long
exposures must be endured without a
whimper. One goes into the service for
a certain period and he cannot be re-
leased, except on account Of Sickness
until his term expires.
But aside from its hardships and
bitter experiences the life is entranc-
ing, and in crew Of picked men the
experiences become bearable and even
pleasant. In the crew are included the
five lookouts, who can sight vessel
at rs miles and land at 80 miles; a
blacksmith, a carpenter, a cooper, a
steward and a cook. The food con-
sists of salt pork and beef, potatoes,
hard tack, coffee and tea; in port, fresh
meats and vegetables are secur-
ed. The porpoise is the sailors fresh

TALKING For BUNcoMBE.-The eX-
preston was used toward the close of
the famous debate on the Missouri
compromise in the sixteenth congress
QS12). Buncombe, county in the west
ern section of North Carolina, was then
part of the congressional district rep
resented by Felix Walker, a resident
of Waynesville, in the adjacent county
of Haywood.
The house was impatient to bring the
long debate to an issue, when old man
Walker Che was then 6S years Of age)
rose to speak, and he was greeted with
loud clamors for Question" Several
members gathered around him, beg
ging him to desist; others left the hall,
but he kept the floor, declaring that
the people of his district expected a
speech from him, that he was bound to
talk for Buncombe (or words to that
effectD and he did.
This Felix Walker had been In his
younger days the friend and compan-
ion Of Daniel Boone when the latter
explored Kentucky and founded Boons-
borough. After representing North
Carolina from 1877 to 1929 he was a
member of the state legislature and
died in 1880 a short time after remov-
ing to Mississippi.

Whereabouts OF Silver Money Made
In 1904 IL Still a PuEzle to Ex-
perts.
"There Is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half
dollar Of the coinage Of 1904" said a
well-known numismatist Of this city
"In that year something like 10000 OF
the dollars were coined, but 1t Is SIN
gular fact, as Is known, that not one
Of them was known to be in circula-
ton. Yet the most precious Of all
American coins are two 1904 dollars
which are in well-known collections
They are valued at $4,000 each.
It has been determined to the satis-
faction of every numismatist that
these two dollars were not coined until
1928, although they were struck from
the original 1904 die. They were Sc
cretly made-although such a proce-
dure is a penal offense-for some one
high in authority and influence, who
desired them for certain coin collec-
tions. 1t has never been positively as
certained how the surreptious work
was accomplished, but there Is no
doubt that 1t was done.
"Why the dollar Of 1904 was never
seen in circulation after leaving the
mint is one of the unsolved government
mysteries.
"a still greater mystery surrounds
the half-dollar Of 1904. OF that coin
nearly 100000 were struck. Not one
was ever discovered in circulation. The
quarter-dollar Of 1904 are numerous
enough-so plentiful, in fact, that fair
specimen can be bought for 81 and
their coinage amounted to 1000 pieces.
"A curious thing has been discov-
cred regarding the half dollar Of 1905
which is not rare coin, except in the
case Of those possessing the rare curl
osity I speak Of, which increases the
value ten-fold. This Is that the figure
IS" in 1905 has been struck over "A, v
showing that the coin was really one
of the undiscovered minting of 1904.
What became of the large issue OF
1904 half-dollars? No one knows or
ever will know; but it is evident that
all of them were not issued from the
mint, and this belief that there was
some reason for not desiring the coin
to circulate is strengthened by the
mint obliterating the date on what
was left by making 1905 half dollars OF
them.
There was no silver dollar issued
from the mint in 1905, yet 321 were
coined, and are in the hands of collec-
tors today, just as they came from the
die. No dollars were coined by the
government after that until 1885,

AN APPRECIATION OF CLEVELAND.
His Record as a Statesman-The
Man Who Stopped Things.


Certainly, Grover Cleveland wrecked
the machinery Of the Democratic par
ty. The cataclysm was complete. But
he did not wreck it wilfully, and GER
tainly not with malice. Democracy
was wrecked as a mere detail In the
daily routine Of the work of an honest
man, who was engaged in the patriotic
task Of saving the country's honor.
When he looked around and saw what
he had done, perhaps Cleveland was
surprised; but 1t Is safe to say that he
had no remorse for it, and he would
surely do the same thing If he had it
to do again.
Cleveland, as statesman, will be re-
membered as the man who stopped
things. He checked abuses; he pre-
vented bad men from accomplishing
their schemes; he warded off impend-
ing calamity; he reduced revenues and
saved taxes; he stayed the ebbing tide
Of public credit; he throttled anarchy;
he stopped foreign aggrandizement on
the American continent. Always he
was the safety-valve. He brought no
new doctrine to the people; he had no
theory Of government-merely an ideal
Of duty for the hour. He founded no
institution; in the political life Of his
time, he constructed nothing. AS a
statesman he will be remembered as
one who every hour Of the working
day did what he thought was exactly
right, and who never attempted to
guide the current Of the public busi-
ness, but always to see that the busi-
ness was wisely and honestly done. He
was a modest, Industrious public ser
want, who lived so closely to the mot
to, "A public Office is public trust"
that people came to believe that he in
vented it-which he did not. He never
injected himself nor his ambition into
any public affairs. His name was new
er linked with any policy, and no law
on the statute books Of this country Is
known as Cleveland's law. He tried to
efface his personality, but it was so
strong and distinctive and pungent
with masculinty. that it dominated ev-
erything he did, in spite of his aversion
to personal politics. Yet he will never
be a hero, because he did not live a
dramatic life. There was nothing in
his biography to amuse or interest a
Plutarch or Boswell. When he pass
es from the earth, no biographer will
materialize him in f1esh-colored
sketch. He must remain to posterity a
disembodied spirit, an ideal Of honesty
bearing a mans name-the symbol of
a national inspiration toward public
virtue.-Wm. Allen White in McClure's
Magazine.

GLOVE AND AFFECTION"
Good Against Parents, But Not Good
Against Children.


Love and affection" as a considera-
ton, was treated of by Judge Emmet
Field in an opinion handed down this
morning in the case Of Annie e. Ris-
niger against F. ]. Risinger, her son.
Judge Field held that "love and affec-
| ton" was q valid consideration for
gift from a parent to a child, but that
from a child to a parent 1t Is not suf-
fcient to uphold the gift
Judge Field stated that 1t was with
extreme reluctance that he was COM
PEELED to decide against the mother in
the present case, the facts Of which are
Of an unusual character.
In 1882 Annie 8. Risinger and her
husband, Martin L. Risinger, decided to
their son, T. J. Risinger, 1S acres Of
land in the county, he agreeing to give
his parents one-third Of the product Of
the land.
The parents claimed that the son had
not treated him fairly, and that for
period of several years he had not cul-
| tivated the property:
Their differences, however, were
patched up in 1883. when the parcntS
decided the property to the son abso-
lutely, the consideration being "love
and affection" Or the same day the
son made a written agreement to pay
the parents, or the survivor OF them,
$40 a year for life.
The consideration recited in the
agreement was "love and affection"
| Some time ago the mother brought
suit against the son to recover the
property, valued at $485, on the ground
that the son had not kept the agree
ment. In his answer the son admitted
| that he had failed to pay the $40 to
his mother for the last three years.
In an amended answer he said that he
had forgotten that he had paid 1t.
AS defence, however, the son set
up that "love and affection" was not
valid consideration for his agreement
| with his parents, and further that the
deed could not be set aside, as 1t had
| not been attacked within ten years OF
the time 1t was made. Judge Field up
held both contentious of the son, say
| ing that it was with reluctance that
he made this ruling. He held that the
deed was valid, as ''love and affection
| is a valid consideration between par
ents and child, but that the agreement
to pay $40 year is invalid, as the con-
sidera ton between the child and the
parents was 'love and affection. -

Olympia, Jan. 3O.-Grant Neal has
been appointed member OF the state
board of control to succeed one OF the
two democratic members recently re-
signed.

of Whitman county, will succeed George
w. Wright as state grain inspector.

absent from his home at Colfax, but his
friends feel assured that he will accept
eth place.
Olympia, Feb. 81. HI. Miller, princi-
pal of the Cheney Normal school, is in
