RAREST AMER DGAN COINS

Dealers say that the fifteen rarest Amer
lean coins are worth a total of $4,000
Here is a list of some of them:
First Is the New York doubloon. coined
in 1897 by Ephraim Brasher. a jeweler. 1t
has a record price of only S5O5, but is re-
garded as the scarcest OF all American
issues by experts, who believe that II a
specimen were offered for sale today 1t
would bring $1,000 at least. 1t Is the only
gold coin of American coinage struck prior
to the opening of the first United States
Mint. This coin weighs ALL grains, and
its intrinsic value is about SIG. There are
only five of them known to exist.
The second most valuable coin Is the
half-eagle of 1922, which has a record price
of 1916. This coin was bought originally
for $40 from a man in Wall street, New
York.
Fourth is the 1904 dollar, only four or hve
being known to collectors In the United
States. 1t is valued at 81, 900.
The fifth coin Is the Washington cent OF
1871, of which pattern one impression was
made in gold, and is valued at $l0W. The
few copper impressions are also highly
valued. The design was not accepted by
the government.
Ranking with this coin in point of rarity
is the Washington half-dollar of 1892,
struck in gold. This was struck as a COM
pliment to George Washington, and was
carried by him as a pocketpiece. It sold
for $500 In 1875. 1t Is now practically UNI
obtainable. and valued at $l,O0.-Philadel-

UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY. TALK

Ny Dear Children:
Now that election days are over and you
have made all the noise you could ano
halped to build the bonfires that so de
ijEAf the youngsters at this time sup
pods you are ready to settle down 10
school duties again. From your geogfa-
phies you all know about Switzerland,
that little country tucked away In the
middle of Europe, so you will be interested
in this story Of a Swiss lake:
One Of the natural euriosities of Sw1tz-
erland is Lake Morat, which turns blood
red every tenth year.
For centuries this freak was regarded
by the Swiss with superstitious dread,
and not until scientists turned their atten-
tion to the matter was the belief in the
supernatural partly removed. Even now
some of the more ignorant persist IN re-
garding the omen as one of evil import,
The reddish color is given the water by
a minute plant closely related to the req
enow.
Every tenth year this plant begins to
propagate, and so quickly does it grow
that in a short time the whole lake IS a
crimson tide. The plant is so minute as
not to be perceptible without the aid or a
microscope, and there was some founda-
tion for the early belief that the lake mad
turned into a sea Of blood. Yours truly.
UNCLE JACK.

KEEP THE PASSIONS
ALWAYS I'm CHECK

An old man was once walking with a
little boy. They came across four shrubs.
The old man said to his youthful COM
panion:
Pull up the least oney"
He obeyed with ease.
Now the next"
He obeyed, but it did not come so easily.
And the third
1t tooS all his strength to move its roots,
but he succeeded.
Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his strength.
He only made the leaves tremble; he
could not move the roots. They had
gone strongly into the earth, and no eff
fort could dislodge them.
Then the wise old man said to the ardent
youth;
'This, my son, is just what happens with
our passions. When they are young and
weak one may, by a little watchfulness
over self and the help of a little self
denial, easily tear them up, but If we let
them cast their roots deep into our souls,
there is no human power can uproot them.
For this reason, my child, watch well over
the first movements of your soul, and
study by acts of virtue. to keep your pas
sions well in ck."-Golden Days.

Pete was brought In, duly admired and

an expression OF utter dismay appeared
upon our friends face, while even his

our bashful friend that for months after

Pete was a favorite plaything with us
