It seems that Booth Tarkinton will

If you wanted 165 men to do any
kind of work would you expect to be
able to make up the list and have on
ly one Smith in 1t? In the Kansas
House of Representatives there are
125 members. There is not a Smith
among them although there are nine
pairs of twins and a set of triplets
bearing these names: Adams. Perkins,
Campbell. Williams, Mckee, Martin,
johnson, King, Brown and three
JOnses. In the Senate of forty men,
bers there are no duplicates of any
name but there is one poor lone
Smith. At first sight it appears as If
there might be something wrong but
perhaps it is all right. One Smith in

How many of these United States
and territories produce gold? Make
a guess now before reading further.
How many silver? Guess again.
What was our production of each
metal in 1902? Which was worth the
most? Does Alabama produce cit er ?
Or Georgia? Or Texas? A little Ia
BILE published bv the director of the
mint answers all these questions for
for the average reader. TWENTY-FIVE
states and territories produce gold
and twenty-one of the same provide
all our silver. The value OF each in
round numbers, was 81 millions gold
and 81 millions silver-almost 8 to l.
Gold takes the lead in sixteen states
but silver is ahead in Alabama. Mon
tana, Michigan, Idaho, Texas and
Utah. Colorado leads in the produc-
tiOn of each metal and there the ratio
is more than to 1. Tennessee is at
the bottom of the gold column and it
produces no silver at all. The ratio IS
S145 to nothing. Maryland produces
only 81 worth of silver and nearly six
teen hundred times as much gold.
Georgia's gold is worth nearly thirty
times as much as her silver. Texas
digs gold and silver about the way she
votes-40 to in favor of silver. Vir-
ginia is almost exactly 16 to I the |
other way. California is the second |
state in the production of gold but is |
only seventh In silver. South CARROLL |
ma, the hot bed of treason and the |
home OF pitchfork Tillman, produced |
nearly thousand times as much gold |
as silver. Nebraska, the home of /
BRYAN, produced neither gold nor sill /
yer but such as he has he is still CIV
ing u.s. The ratio is naughty o.
