S. M. Williams, secretary of the

made public copies of letters received
from the governors of several states

Governors of some western states

A PAYING PURCHASE



It is seldom, one would imagine.
that original paintings by celebrsted
artists are used to illustrate ! hook
but IN one of the Amsterdam book
shops about a folio miscellany was
picked up by an English tourist,
who was attracted by the water col
or sketches which had been inserted
therein as illustrations. Upon reach
ing home he placed the volume.
which had cost him the equivalent
of 10 shillings, on shelf and forgot
all about it for more than a couple
OF years, when one evening a neigh
Dor, who happened to be an artist,
dropped in for game of whist, and
after the rubber Mr.. S. suddenly,
while talking of sketches, bethought
himself OF the book he had pur-
chased. He took il from beneath
pile Of other volumes in the cup
board where it had lain neglected
and handed it to his friend.
After a few minutes the artist
said very quietly, "Have you any
idea as to whether these drawings
are any good 2"
sNo," replied the owner. sT don't
know anything about them, but they
took my fancy, and SO l gave the
man, after bargaining, 10 shillings
for the book"
The artist smiled. After pause
he said, Il will give you three times
as much for the drawings, and you
can keep the book"
mo" said his friend, 81 don't
want to SELL"
\ "Well," said the other, "you are
wise, for at least six Of these
sketches are by David Cox and per-
haps worth 10 or even 20 guineas
apiece. One is a Birket- Foster,
worth about ESQ, I should say, and
one is Law, worth nearly as much.
Two others / am doubtful about.
The rest are not of much account"
The tourist placed the drawings
in the hands of well known deal
er. They were sold by auction and
altogether realized nearly 800
guineas. One of the doubtful ones
proved to be Whistler and the 9TH
er a sketch for a picture by a well
known French artist. 49, Give Hol-

History of the Gold Standard

S~SAA~ASSAsA
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was England. She adopt
ed it nominally in 1916, but practical
ly not until three years later, for in
1916 England was on the paper basis.
Germany, which adopted the silver
standard in 1857, took steps toward
the establishment of the gold stand
ard in 1871; but it was not until July,
1873, that she demonetized silver,
undertook to melt down her silver
coin, sell it for gold and establish the
single gold standard. The Scandina-
Wan nations adopted the single gold
standard at the same time. In Sep
TENDER, 1873, France restricted the
free coinage of silver and three years
later entirely suspended such coinage,
but has never undertaken to discard
the silver coin she has in use or treat
it otherwise than as on an equality
with gold The action of France in
restricting and then suspending the
coinage Of silver on private account
was followed by the other nations OF
the Latin Union Belgium, Switzer-
land, Italy and Greece and Spain
suspended the coinage of silver in
1873. Holland, which had established
the single silver standard in place OF
the bimetallic standard in .1847, sus-
pended the coinage Of silver in 1877
and opened her mints to the coinage
Of gold on private account in 1877 -

YACHTS TO RACE
FOR Upton CUP
CRAFT WILL DO THINGS AT
SAN DIEGO
Extensive Preparations Being Made
for Annual Aquatic Event at South
ern Port-Large Represen-
tatlon Anticipated

Southern California yachting interest
is now centered on the coming races for
the Upton cup which are held annually
at San Diego. Extensive preparations
are to be made for this event. which
will close the yachting season here.
The outcome Of these races is hard to
predict, and but few owners have so
far signified their intention of enter
ing, although large representation is
expected from among the craft of the
South Coast Yacht club
The course decided upon will lie in
side of Point Iona, where light breezes
predominant, and the craft carrying
the largest sail area should finish first.
Comment> has been freely expressed
on the new defender of the San Diego
Yacht clubs interest, Aeolus, and many
are inclined to think that the southern
representative will win the cup.
The San Diego craft carries consider
able sail and will measure longer on
the water line than any of the antici-
pated entries. She is built along the
lines of Byron Erkenbrecher's yacht
Detroit. While not wholly fiat on her
bottom, she can lie over to a great
extent without being in any imme-
dfate danger Of turning under, and is
considered good light breeze racer.
Walter Folsom will add 1876 square
feet to the sail area of his crack yacht
Mischief II, which has been gobbling
up first honors all along this season.
Folsom is of the opinion that his craft
will be able to hold the additional can
vas.
Joe Pugh is expected to add consider
able sail to his craft Monsoon, and
while the crack eastern design has not
done anything wonderful to speak Of
outside winning the race around Cata-
lima island, she may spring surprise
on the yachting public at San Diego.
The Skiddoo should show up strong if
she carries all the sail her design calls
for, and 1t is expected that H. c.
Wedgewood's trim little craft will be
well in front at the finish.
