THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

Are American women growing better
booking? is question raised occasion
ally by magazine writer's, and then
they write long essays to prove that
they are. The truth Is that American
women are and always have been good
looking. What often leads to the gen.
eral remarks that women look more
beautiful to-day than formerly Is the
difference between the styles Of wear
ing apparel in vogue now and those Of
fifty years ago. At theatre or social
party it Is sometimes difficult to dis
cover which is the daughter and which
the mother nowadays, because one
looks about as youthful in appearance
cs the other.-Boston Globe.

TO CONTEST a WILL.
Samuel Bessant Left All His Property
to One of Three Dauuhters,

Lead, S. D., May 30.-The will OF the
late Samuel Bessant of Dumont, whose
death occurred a few weeks ago, is be-
Ing contested In counts court and ~
making an interesting case. The de-
ceased had three daughters in the
Black Hills. Mrs, George Glover and
Mrs. Hanson of Lead and Miss Bes-
SAINT, an unmarried daughter. For
some time previous to his death he
had been cared for by the unmarried
daughter at his home, and it is claimed
the other daughters gave him no at
tention. A year or two ago he made n
VIII In which his three daughters
shared alike, but n few days before his
death, upon learning that his condition
was critical, he made a new will, in
which the unmarried daughter was
given all his property and the other
two were allowed 81 each.
The two married daughters are now
contesting the claims of the devisee,
on the ground that the old mar was
not In his right mind at the time the
VIII was made; that he was addicted
to Intoxicating liquors, and was in the
practice of becoming intoxicated at
times, when he was mentally ire
sponsible. The case was started In
county court this week, and has been
continued until some time in June.

HER WEIGHT IN o L
An Ordinary Woman lsnt Worth o.
Very Much After All.

very Mucn hrtor HU.
New York Mail and Express: The
weight Of money Is very deceptive"
says an employee of the sub-treasury.
For instances: A young man came In
here one day with q young woman. !
was showing them through the depart
ment and happened to ask him jokingly
IL he thought the girl was worth her
weight In gold. He assured me that he
certainly did think so. and after learn
ing that her weight was LOG pounds we
figured that she would be worth in
gold coin $2s.647. The young man was
fond enough of her to think that was
rather cheap.
Another thing that deceives many
people," he continued, lis the weight
OF paper money Now, how many 81
bills do you think 1t would AXE to
weigh as much as a IS gold piece?"
On a ues the writer said fifty, and
the clerk laughed.
II have heard guesses on that" he
said, "all the. way from fifty to 500, and
from men who have handled money for
years. The fact of the matter is that
with a IS gold piece on n scale you
would have to put only six and ne
half bills in the other to balance It."
The question afterward was put to
several friends of the writer and elicit
ed answers ranging all the way from
twenty to 1000, the majority guessing
from 200 to 500.
Taking the weights Of gold coins and
bills given at the sub-treasury, 1t was
figured that q IS gold piece weighs zoe
of an ounce, avordupois. The employe
at h treasury who handled the paper
money said that 100 bills weigh four
n one-half ounces. That would make
one bill weigh .045 Of an ounce, and
between six and sever bills would bal
ance the gold piece.
On the proposition of how much
money one "a lift, figures were OBJ
tanned at the s~ub-treasury, where GER
a numbers of coins were placed In
bags and weighed as standards. For
example, the standard amount for gold
coin is $4,000, which weighs 1914
pounds. Five hundred silver dollars
weigh 1914 pounds, while 5000 in
halves, or 400 coins, weight IL pounds
Two hundred pounds of coin money
of various kinds is made up as fol-
lows: Silver dollars, $2,617; half dol
lars, 1896; quarter dollars, $3,657;
dimes, $3,615.S0; nickels, 1917; pennies
$295.61.
Ia 81 bills the same weight would
amoSnt to $71,111.

AN AMERICAN HURT.
Ambassador Meyer in an Auto Accident
Near Rome.

Rome, May 30.-United States Am
bassador Meyer was slightil hurt yes
terday through an accident to his au-
tomobile. The ambassador was driy-
ing a motor car coming from Civita
Vecchia to Rome, and was going at a
pace of twenty miles an hour. The
dust was very thick, and at times,
when raised by the wind, obscured the
view Of the road ahead. Mr.. Meyer,
on passing through one Of these dust
clouds, suddenly found himself con-
fronted by a long line of wagons on one
side of the road, while the other side
was INSTRUCTED by large heaps of stones,
not leaving room for the automobile to
pass. Mr.. Meyer, seeing the danger,
tried to stop the car, but 1t ran onto
the stones. None Of the occupants OF
the Ear were hurt except Mr.. Meyer,
whose face was somewhat lacerated.
