WHY DON'T YOU?

Why don't you answer your friends
letter at once?
Why don't you make the promised
visit to that invalid? She is looking
Tor you day after day.
Why don't you send away that little
gift you've been planning to send?
Mere kind intentions never accomplish
any good.
Why don't you try to share the bur-
den of that sorrowful one who works
beside you? Is it because you are
growing selfish?
Why don't you speak out the encour-
aging words that you have in your
thoughts? Unless you express them
they are Of no use to others.
Why don't you take more pains to be
self sacrificing and loving in the every
day home life? Time is rapidly pass
ing. Your dear ones will not be with
you always.
Why don't you create around you an
atmosphere of happiness and helpful
ness SO that all who come in touch with
you may be made better? Is not this
possible ?-Class Mate

EARLY Tobacco.

According to John Aubery, who
wrote Il celebrated work on "the very
Queere Indian weede," there was a
time when tobacco was worth its
weight in silver. Among other things
Aubrey says: "Sir Walter Raleigh was
the first that brought tobacco into Eng.
land, and in our parts-North Wits
1t came in fashion through Sir Walter
Long. They used silver pipes, but the
commoners used walnut shell. 1t
was sold then for its weight in silver
I have heard some Of your old yeomen
neighbors say that when they went to
Chippenham to market they always
culled cut their shillings to lay in the
scales against the tobacco. Now the
customers of it are among the greatest
that his majesty hath"

A Test of Sobriety,

Gentlemen who have put an enemy
into their mouths are recommended to
try a very simple test for the purpose
of finding out whether their brains
have been stolen. They must stand
erect with their eyes closed, and if
they can perform this feat for brief
period they may come to the conclu-
sion that they are all right. Two in
dividuals who were accused of drunk
enness at Pontefract proved that they
had honorably stood the test, and the
cases against them We're dismissed.
The great merit of the plan is that it
can be put into operation anywhere
ind at any time.-London Tit-Bits.

The mystery rs to where the bridal
couple spent their honeymoon was
never solved. Washington was the

surreptitiously carried upstairs by the

OLD AND NEW COINS.
Interesting Facts About Coinage al
the Different MINIS

~
The director of the mint is called on
to answer such wide range of ques. !
lions concerning the values of old and
new coins and medals that he has
found it necessary to issue circulars
covering matters of this sort. They
tell some interesting facts. 1t appears
that the mint does not buy old coins OF
paper money except some rare colonial
coins in fine condition, which are de-
sired for the mint cabinet Mutilated
or uncurrent United States gold and
silver coin is purchased as bullion.
The mint has no pattern pieces for sale.
The government pays no premium for
the return of any of it's coins or pa
per money New coins cannot be
struck until authorized by an act Of
congress. The mint supplies United
States coins only and not of any past
date. The fifty dollar goldpiece and
the half dollar and quarter dollar
pieces in gold We're struck by private
parties on the California coast during
the 1910 period and not by the United
States government.
The coinage of the following coins
ceased in the years named: Half and
1 cent, copper, in 1851; 1 cent nickel,
1861 half dime and cents. silver, and
2 cents. bronze, in 1878; 20 cents, sill
yer, 1878; trade dollars, 1888; 81 and
So, gold, and cents, nickel, 1889.
The Columbian half dollar was coined
in 1892 and the Isabella quarter in
1898. The Lafayette dollar was struck
In 1899, the date on the coin $500 be-
ing that of the unwilling of the memo
rial
There are certain markings on every
United States coin that enable the
place of its coinage to be located.
Those struck at the Philadelphia mint
have no mint mark, but those struck
at all other minis are distinguished by
small letter on the reverse, near the
/ bottom. These letters are G for Char
lotte. y. c., discontinued in 1861; &C
! for Carson City, New, discontinued in
! 1893; ID for Dahlonega, Ga, discontin-
ued in 1861; o for New Orleans and S
for San Francisco The coins of the
/ United States now authorized by law
are: In gold, double eagle. eagle, half
eagle, quarter eagle; in silver, half dol
lar, quarter dollar and dime; minor, )
! cent, nickel, and / cent, bronze. \ per-
son may buy a proof set of gold coins
from the mint for $3.50 and a proof
set of silver and minor coins for $3.50.
| When the business of the mints is
slack medals may be struck from dies
furnished by individuals, public insti-
buttons and incorporated societies at a
charge sufficient to cover the cost of
the operation and the value of the
metal.-Broolllyn Eagle.

TRAITS OF THE INDIAN.

He believes when man is SO un-
fortunate as to lose an eye he is en-
titled to wives. and he generally gets
them. The wolf has a regular name,
and is never mentioned as a wolf but
is accredited with having a soul and
is considered almost human An In
dian never goes on hunt soon after
attending funeral. knowing that
game will detect his whereabouts
readily after being at funeral
The medicine man always takes
charge of all in camp when on hunt
for game He places his medicine in
the ground with great pomp before
building his camp fire. The fire is
reyer removed while the hunt is in
progress. knowing that shot that
goes through the milt of deer is fat
al, the Indian always rCasts and eats
this part before he eats his supper
after bringing in the carcass. The
Indian has not vet attained that de-
gree of civilization necessary to kill
while in anger. his father. mother,

ROOSEVELT" IN 1T.
Editor of ''Eads and Eancies'' Declares
President Sent His Picture.

New York, July 26.-Col. w. D.
Mann, proprietor of Town Topics,
reached home from Europe on board
the steamship iceland, and broke into
the "Fads and Fancies'' discussion at
once. He declared "Fads and Fancies''
a good thing. He declared Theodore
Roosevelt was in it, despite the presi-
dents denial. and that Grover Cleve-
lands portrait and biography adorned
the pages of the book. Also despite
the sage of Princeton's ponderouS de-
nial.
president Roosevelt" said Colonel
a personal sketch of himself and his
photograph. So did Mr.. Cleveland.
President Roosevelt is a busy man,
and as this was three years ago, most
likely he's forgotten about it. We in
formed him we were getting out this
work of art, that people were paying
a good deal for it, but that as he was
president we would not think of ask
ing anything from him. 1t was natural
for him to send US what we wanted,
and then to allow the matter to go out
of his mind"
why did Mrs. c. P Huntington pay
$4,000 for her copy, when others paid
only 81, 500?'' Mann was asked.
Did she pay that much? Well, you
see, I don't know anything about that.
It's a, surprise to me if she did. I have
not had anything to do with the books.
The whole thing was in charge of a
y
ago. Then Wooster left. did not like
him. BY that time the work was ready
to turn over to the artists. don't
know how much it VIII cost to get out
the book, and about this alleged. divis-
ion of profits / know nothing
When Col. Mann was informed that
the books of Town Topics had shown
that Justice Deuel. had received 81, 200 a
year salary, he seemed surprised.
"As I said before" he explained. Il
have nothing to do with the books. He
might have got that as director. Sup
posing he did look over the proof sheets;
any one can do that. All / do is to act
as editor. look over all that's printed
and write some of it myself. l don't
bother myself with the books
do you consider Justice Deuel. counsel
for Town Topics?" he was asked.
Il don't know about that" he replied
you see 1 employ several lawyers, but
that is all I care to say, think. Just
now or until I look into this matter fur
ton and shall be at my office to answer
all questions. If 1 find that any one con-
nected with Town Topics has been guilty
| of anything irregular or criminal, shall
| do all l can to aid in his punishment
Col. Mann professed to be in blissful ig-
norance of most of the disclosures made
during his absence. while 1 was on the
other side,'' he said, 'I heard that a man
| professed to be connected with Town Top
| les. I at once made a denial of that.
