JoachimSthal, near Carlsbad, where

year. is already historic as the birth
place of the original dollar. This was the
silver culdenSroschen. coined in 1919 by
order of Count Schlick from the metal OF
a recently opened mine, and it became
known as the Joachimsthaler, or tina
ler' alone for short. Before 1900 the nim-
BILE English language had already made
dollar of this. Thereafter this name
was loosely used of all manner of coins
varying in value from Is cents to A1.25,
and belonging to all manner of countries,
from Sweden to Japan. 1t was from the
prevalence Of the Spanish dollar in the
British American colonies at the time Of
their revolt that the modern ''almighty
dollar was derived. while in modern
England very recent slang has given the
name to the crown piece.

| A romance beginning at a sick

self were from the same county in

and Montana.
Mrs. Parks was called to nurse
Dinsmore during a severe attack of

in each other and learned that they
were from Clarin county, Pennsyl-

the sickbed ripened into better
acquaintanceship and later into
love, resulting in their wedding

II Captain John Gray, council
man from the Second ward, wants
to start something he will force
his proposition to increase the dog
license. The only benefit to anyone
, by dog license in this town is to
add to the large earnings of the
humane" society establishment
which is engaged in the buying
selling and trading of dogs of ev.
cry description.
The city collects the dog tax, but
the money outside of the expenses
of paying for the tags goes to the
so-called humane society.
Aside from this fact, Captain
Gray knows that a higher license
would not eliminate solitary dog
in town. People of course will pay
the license no matter how high it
is. Theh ugliest cur has a many
friends as have the blooded purps.
Captain John Gray's scheme is not
one of public benefit.

out was full two months after its
nearest predecessor, Consequently
when the others have all run out,
he has moral cinch.
At the city election held in Day

ingly balloted the town dry. But
they took no consideration of how
this was to be done in practice.
The theory was good, but when it
came to stopping. the liquor selling
there, 1t was found that Dayton
had not the wherewithal to refund
the unearned portions of the H.
censes already granted. So the
city fathers decided to let the per-
mits die natural death. Whether
or not they thought Of the narrow
ing down of the business to one
man, is not known; but 1t was so
decided. And SO it happens that
there will be one place in Dayton
that will certainly be mighty popu-
lar after the licenses have expired
which keep the other saloons in
business For it is stated that the
capital city of Columbia county is
just about the thirstiest little burg
this side of Milwaukee, and when
its citizens begin to realize that
their source of conviviality is be-
ing cut off, the owner of the lucky
saloon will be some busy.
