METAL TRADING CHECKS.
Almost to supplant Govern- oent Coin.

The use of metal trading checks has become 80 general in some of the coun- try districts in Minnesota as almost to supplant the use of government coin. and q suit has been instituted against the stamping concern making the checks to determine whether the pro- duction of them is in violation of the federal coinage laws. These checks. says the Chicago Tribune. are about the size of silver quarter. They are stamped with the name of the firm for whom they are made, and bear state ment that they will be received for a certain amount in trade. the amounts ranging from five cents to one dollar. Country merchants use them in ex- change for produce. They are good for trade only at the store issuing them. But from the fact that the stores re- fuse to pay for produce in any other currency. they soon come to be ac- cepted by all other stores. as the farm CTS selling produce have no other coin to spend. In this way their circulation becomes general in certain localities. The storekeepers maintain that as they have an unqIestionable right to give re- ccipts good in trade. it is immaterial whether they are written on paper or stamped on metal. The practice is Q profitable one for the merchants. and it enables them to do business on bor- rowed capital on which they do not pay interest. . ,---.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA.
q New Get Specially Made and Ma1keA los Each Incoming Al.
 nlnistPatl0a.

The white house china is manufac- tured and decorated especially for the presidents house, says the New York Mail and Express. When new admin istration comes in, new set of china is made and marked with the name of the president. Of course, the old china IS kept. the new being oily of sufficient quantity. to make up for the breakage and loss during the last administra- tion. The decoration of the china con sists of dark blue border. with gold tracings in shape oi cornstalks and ears. while in the center of the white plate is the coat-of-arms of the United States in colors. The best of artists are employed to paint these plates. and. as each one is marked with the name of the administration, each has value. It is often quite an interesting part of Q white house dinner for the guests. while waiting for the courses, to turn their plates to see to what administru- tion they belonged.
 The china of the white house is in the special charge of the steward. and he is responsible to the government for it. Ii is rare that any of it gets out of the white house, and therefore the appear ance of the two plates in the auction room last week caused comment. The price paid for them -four dollars npiece) was certainly remarkably low. In view of their value to collectors.

Fort Apache.

A dance was given at the Post on Thanksgiving evening and was attended by young folks from all the surrounding settle merits. All report having had a good time.
 It seems very strange that a certain few, of White Rivers fe- male population are so elevated in life from teaching Indians the ways of the white people. That they can afford to shun the en- listed men and their families at the social dances given in the Post.
 Miss Mary Willis of White River, was a guest of Sergt. and Mrs. R. H. Mirch, on Thanks giving.
 White River can boast of a Dramatic Club, w h is prepar- ing to put three act play on, sometime in the near future. The play is entitled: The For tunes of War. or How a Home was Won hv a pair of Shoes. The play is taken from life and no doubt will be a big success.
 Corp. Johnson, "G" Troop 3rd Cav. killed a large black bear near CoOlev's ranch the other day. and brought in the head and hide as a trophy.
 Thanksgiving Day Was observ- ed in the usual Military manner, and games of all kinds were in order. Major Bishop command ing the Post withdrew the disci- pline of Military life and every one was allowed to enjoy him. self any way he chose.
 Sergt. and Mrs Joseph Miller, arrived in the Post with "M" troop, from Ft. Grant.
