The report from the engravers depart
ment Of the mint shows that twenty
eight different dies were prepared for
the stamping of these coins. and that
twenty-five OF them were rejected be-
cause they were not up 20 the artistic
standard desired, or because they show

In coming the dollars. The rest were

Mary Kilcullen is a Missouri spinster.
She acquired by good fortune or honest

money Of the United States, represented

Being fearful Of banks. she carefully

might steal her wealth or commit other
crime. but she failed 20 look after the
money. believing that was secure, and
that continually tearing up the carpet

marine. Insurance war rates on vessels
for the Far East of from 80 to 500 per
cent
Marine insurance underwriters say the
length OF the war would have an ef-
feet on insurance rates. They seem to
think that Japan's naval victories at the
outset mean a proiongation Of the war,
and consequently higher rates.
Increased so Per Cent.
The increases depend a good real on
the nature OF the cargo and the des-
tination OF thyzEessel. Where the rate
was = per cent when tie war clouds
were not so dark, il is INV ! per cent.
In some instances where the vessel Is
bound for a port near the scene Of hos
tilities the rate is as high as 3 per cent.
Instead OF a falling off in shipments

the underwriters report q big rush -
