1t has been suggested that the city
buy the park on the bond issue plan
and allow the fair association, if or
gained, the use of the park and
gro3nd needed, pay yearly the in
terest on these bonds and something
more to create a sinking fund to
take them up when they mature.

THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER

A humorist has said that the Mis-
sissippi river is so crooked IN places
that a steamer going south has been
known to meet itself coming north,
give passing signals and narrowly es
cape collision with itself. Because
man has never been able to make
the Mississippi obedient and COIL
tent to stay in one particular chan
mel many interesting geographical
situations have arisen. There are in
Vulnerable old channels, threading
back and forth through the lowlands
and whenever there is an overflow,
or a particularly heavy freshet, the
river is quite liable to wander off
down one Of these old channels and
leave some shipping point high and
dry. The town Of Delta used to be
three miles below Vicksburg, but a
cutoff changed things SO it IS now
two miles above that point. Another
little place called Blues Point was
formerly located in Mississippi, but
one spring, when times were dull
and the river needed diversion, it
changed It's channel and transferred
Blue Point over into Arkansas. Il
the big river had taken such twist
| between Missouri and Illinois before
the war, it could have removed slaves
from one State to another and thus
set them free-Exchang
The big river this year has beer
kept in its crooked but narrow path
and if brains and money and dirt
will hold it there, it will cease play
| which it has been noted.

CHANGING THE DESIGN.
OF COINS

~ ~04INO
Somewhere in New York "a cele-
bratei artist" is bordering new de-
signs for the gold coinage of the |
United States. It is expected that |
the new gold pieces will appear with
in year. |
Wisely, that collectors may not
be too much favored and that too
many whims of authority may not
be exercised, it is provided by law
that the designs Of coins may not be
changed more than once in twenty
FIVE years. The latest modification
in our gold pieces came in 1866,
when the motto, Elm God we trust
was placed above the eagle. 1t is
generally admitted that there is room
for artistic improvement in the coins
though the Goddess Of Liberty Oh
the current $40 piece is an undoubted
advance over the stout, snub-nosed
lady who figured on the issues of
1895 and 1897.
What was considered the hand
soonest of all American gold coins is
no longer issued. It was the IS
piece which came from the minis in
the period 1854-8o The reverse OF
the current $40 gold piece is much
admired.
There has been a good deal more
of fuss and experiment at Washing
ton over changes of coin designs
than of actual result. AS a conse-
quence collectors stores have been
greatly enriched by the additions Of
patterns and trial pieces. In 1887,
however. the rule went out that all
patterns must be retained in Govern
ment care.
The silver dollar bore when dis
continued in 1905 the design adopted
in 1873. the tenth known TO that coin
although eleven new pattern pieces
were struck off in 1870 In 1870 and
1880 patterns were struck for 81 gold
coins which were never put into
: circulation. Tn 1872 ten patterns
| were tried for the trade dollar.
Our present nickel, or fve-cen
piece. dates from about 1883 and wa
the outcome Of many trials. The one
cent piece has been as we know i
since 1864, although change was
proposed last year. In 1901 an invi
