date the dollar of 1901 has been used,
specimen Of which Is only worth a
couple of dollars. To all appearances
an 1901 dollar is precisely like the 1904
coin with the trifln" difference in
date. and thus the person making the
alterations seems TO think lie has moth
ing to do but simply change the l into
4. Yet the reverse of the 1901 dollar
bears little variations that show the
year in which it was struck.
Plausible tales are nearly always
told by persons with such altered coins
to sell. Not long ago man came into
my place from the far west Out Of a
chamois bag which he carried around
his neck he took two coins carefully
wrapped In tissue paper.
"Tenderly he laid the coins in my
hand. He was not coin collector, he
said, but had heard that these two
pieces We're very valuable and had
bought them at a low figure.
"One Of the coins was supposed to be
an 1904 dollar and the other the rare
1853 half dollar, without the arrow
points alongside of the date, which
ought TO have been worth from $75 to
500. They were certainly beauties,
both of them, and the old man told
their history. which went something
like this:
Back in the early forties a farm
seeker, with his family and all his eff
fects in Il prairie schooner, came TO a
halt at ferry landing on the eastern
side of a river in Kansas. The man
vas at the end of his financial re
gources, and the only thing in the way
q money he had left was large silver
collar of 1904.
He persuaded the ferryman to take
his outfit across in his natboat and left
with him this dollar. which the pioneer
said was rare one. worth so or S12
back in the states, and he made the
ferryman promise to hold the coin until
he called for it and paid the price Of
the fcrriagc.
THE owner of the dollar never call
ed. After keeping the dollar for many
'ears the fcrryman died. and his son
disposed of it to the present owner.
who had picked ii up for the bargain
price of 5000. The ferlyman's son, who
was Il good natured fellow, gave the
buyer as good measure the 1853 half
dollar, which, he said. was also a rare
coin.
Now, that was n very likely story
and ought to sell any coin, but not here
in the east. They were both very fine
specimens, and they looked good to the
eye, but they were both limitations and
not worth any more than the metal Of
which they were made except as curl
osities.
The 1904 dollar was one altered
from 1901 which a glance at the re-
verse showed, although the substituted
a would have given the thing away,
for this last figure was raised very per
ceptibly higher than the 1S0.'
As for the 1853 half dollar, it bore
no arrow points on either side OF the
"at" for .he very simple reason that

Fourth. he said, wanted the matter
referred to the convention. The Fourth
contended that those who cared to do
10 should use the secret ballot. but that
II should not be obligatory.
BrcckGns SAID he thought the Fourth
District should determine how II want

Fourth should determine the matter
before the next caucus. Representa-

All measures passed under sus

have 10 be passed by four-fifths

clause" showing that the necessity
for such action exists. 1t is said
that a great many of the measures
which have been enacted under a
suspension of the rules contain no
such clause. and If such is the case,
the laws are commended by some to
be invalid.
