Mr.. Crooks. the new member from

House of Commons, is one of the best
known labor men in the metropolis

that he was 'everlastingly hungry" in
his unwelcome home, which he was
soon able to leave by obtaining en-
ployment with a blacksmith. He has

HOPE FOR THE BUFFALO.
American Bison stIIl Far From Being
Extinct.

That the American bison is not so
near extinction as has been generally
supposed has been learned by agents
of the national government, who made
n thorough inquiry recently as to the
number of pure bloods in existence.
The result of the investigation showed
that there is still some hope Of per-
petuating the species. says the New
York Sun. Careful inquiries brought
out the fact that there are Just GAG
full-blood bison in the world.
The inquiry was extended to Europe
as it was known that some of our
"buffaloes" had been shipped across
the Atlantic. and it was learned that
there are ia of the animals divided
among seven countries of Europe.
Germany heads the list with 60 and
England comes next with "a. Russia
has three and there are two in Hun
gary. Norway tried to get some, but
succeeded in obtaining only one hy-
brid. There is single American bison
in France and Holland has fourteen.

dispatched 'postpost-haste" by the
faithful secretary. We gather from
what Lord Rosebery said that the
notes did not arrive. and we must
suppose that he is above the petty
.fbbing of the ordinary NJ. p. who as
fstires you at a political banquet that
''he is down for some toast. he doesn't
know which. or what he will say
at the very moment that he is trying
to convey his speech from his pocket
to his head. In the circumstances. SO
far as the mere speaking went. Lord
Rosebery did not do badly. for there
are few things more disconcerting
even to mature and experienced
speaker-and Lord Rosebery will not
mind our telling the public that he is
between so and 60 years old-than to
find you have left your notes at home.

RARE COINS IN IOWA
p4ysIolAN,s FINs COLLECTION

The Widows Mite-coins From syris
and Eeypt-copper Coins From
Every Nation on the Face Of tn,
Earth.
Probably the most successful coin
collector in Iowa is DIR. w. II Vim
cent of this city, says the Red Oak
Express. Ever since he was a how
about ten years of age DR.. Vincent
has had his eyes open for rare coins
of all nations. and as a consequence
to-day can show collection of about
1856 different coins representing every
nation on earth and many specimens
OF money that are relics of ancient
nations that thrived over 700 years
ago. One Of the most interesting bits
of money that he can show is a speci-
men of the Oldest as well as the
smallest Syrian coin. and is undoubt-
edly 'the widows mite" spoken of in
the Bible. 1t is a very thin, circular
piece of metal about one-quarter of
an inch in diameter with a color some
thing like zinc. On one side is the
very indistinct inscription: LET his
(the Sultan's) victory be exalted"
AmonE other ancient coins there are
six very small gold Egyptian pieces of
money that were coined at Cairo in
the year 1928. The largest coin In the
collection is a boer dollar. II is of
silver and is about half as large again
as a silver dollar of our own United
States money. The smallest coin in
the collection is a tiny gold quarter
coined in San Francisco in 1872.
Dr. Vincent has eleven pieces Of pa
per money that are worth considerable
more than their face value. One is
paper half dollar believed to be one
of the first. II not the very first one,
ever made in the United States It
was issued by the United States gov
ernment during the first month of the
year 1870 and. according to a recent
communication from the secretary of
the treasury at Washington, there are
but two of these paper half dollars in
existence, and as this one is the only
one yet heard from II Is probable that
II is the only one that will ever be
found. 1t is valued at $1,000. Dr.
Vincent can sell it for that amount,
but prefers to hold it for higher fig
ure and is quite certain that its value
will increase. A silver half dollar of
the year 1903 is also n very valuable
coin in the Doctors collection. DR..
Vincent has representative pieces of
copper coin from every nation on the
globe and silver coins from almost
every country that has such form
of money.
