The supporters Of Gen. Gomez were IN
the majority in every province. It Ia
better that that should be so. There
Is no one part Of the island which is
likely to be the center Of discomfort
with and opposition to the government
which is soon to be Installed The
American officials will step aside The
American troops will be withdrawn,
with the exception of the marines mt
the naval station at Guantanamo. Cuba
Will again be ruled by Crbans, and pos
sfbly fairly well ruled, at least for the
next few years. There hardly will be
any trouble until the next presidential
election. -Four years hence, when Gen.
Gomez may be anxious to succeed him
self and resort to customary Latlu.
American methods TO retain power. an
other crisis will be reached. Some dis
appointed rival may raise the cry OF
fraud and the standard of revolution,
If the Instruction could not be put
down promptly the United States would
intervene-for the last time.

HALF DIME BOUGHT FOR $715.
Cents Also Bring Fabulous Prices ut
New York Auction.

Z
a New York Auction.
An Insignificant looking little piece
Of silver minted in 1902 and for which
the treasury officials in Washington
viii give only nickel, was sold re-
Gently for Sis, says the New York
World. The purchaser was H. o.
Granburg of Oshkosh, Wis, the most
noted coin collector in the Northwest.
He got his prize at the auction of the
big coin collection Of the late James
B. Wilson of this city at the Collectors
Club, "A West 26th street
The coin is helf-dime and, although
100 years old, retains its original lus-
ter and is the finest specimen Of the
1902 half-dime in existence There are
only fifteen other similar coins known
and when this numismatic prize was
bought by Mr.. Wilson in 1884 it cost
him $500.
The price paid recently is a new high
record for half-dimes and records for
quarters and cents were also smashed
A quarter dollar Of 1927, on which the
date has been pressed over the numer-
ais '23, brought $355, the largest sum
ever paid for coin Of this denomina-
ton. 1t was bought by b. NJ Brand,
coin collector and dealer of Chicago.
The top-noteh price for cents was
realized for wreath coin Of 1892 in
perfect condition. A cent of 1875, made
valuable by the figure 5 merging In
the bust, brought $3.50; another of
1893 with an endless chain of fifteen
links, instead Of wreath on the face,
was bid in at $3.50, while an Identical
coin Of the same date which had
minute nick IN the edge, was sold for
$3.50 less. Other high prices for cents
not SO rare were SOS for 1893 wreath
cent like the one bringing $S1, except
for an edge dent; $3.50 for one mint
ed In 1874; $40 for a 1893 cent and
S25 for one made two years later In
1901. There was lively bidding for
one Of the coins on which the date 1899
had been pressed over the date 1913.
1t was finally sold for $50.

An UnaccountabIe Failing.

1t was severe trial to Mr. Harding
that his only sons memory was not all
that could be desired. Where In the
world he got such forgetful streak
from Is beyond me-" said the exasper-
ated father to his wife ON one occasion.
What has he forgotten now!' asked
Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and
a demure expression.
''The figures Of the last return from
the election on the bulletin board" And
Mr. Harding inserted a finger In his
collar as If to loosen 1T and shook his
head vehemently. Looked at 'em as
he came past not half an hour ago, and
now can't tell me.
''As 1 asid to him, II you're so stu
pid you can't keep few simple figures
In your head. why don't you write 'em
down on piece of paper, as l do, and
have done all my life, long before 1 was
your agep"

SAVING MONEY.


Over three thousand school children
Of Des Moines, Ia, have been induced
to save money and to start bank ac-
counts. More than fifteen hundred Of
them, says writer in the Congress Of
dothers' Magazine, have deposits Of
ibout ten dollars each. The credit OF
he achievement belongs first to the
Mothers Congress of Iowa, which or
ganized the Penny Proyident Associa-
ion In October, 1901.
The plan used in Des Moines is SIM
pier than that of other cities. The prin-
,ipal of each building is supplied with
stamps and folders, in which fifty one
cent stamps can be pasted. Every Fri
lay at certain hour the principal is
in her office to sell stamps to the chill
1ren.
When the child has filed the folder
with fifty stamps he may go to the
bank, always on Saturday morning. ana
either get fifty cents in cash for the
,ook, or open an account, receive
)ass-book, and have an account en-
tered in it.
The bank pays him per cent inter
est on the deposit after it has remained
six months. The principal receives the
stamps and all other necessary printed
matter from the bank without any ex-
pense to the district, and she makes
an accounting to the bank every week
for the number of stamps she has sold.
The financial affairs are controlled
by a board Of directors, representing
the bank. the school and the Mothers
Congress. This board meets the first
Tuesday in each month, from October
to June to receive the report Of the
banker and discuss the affairs of the
association.
The principals. as a rule, do not find
the work much trouble, for they have
only to get cent for every stamp, and
have no accounts to keep with the chill

The deposits now amount to nearly
twenty thousand dollars. Since It's or
ganization the Penny Provident Assoc
citation has Induced the saving Of about
thousand dollars, of which
less than half has been withdrawn. To
draw out his money, the youthful de-
positor must have the written order OF
his parents or guardian.
The amount of the deposits, however,
is of secondary consideration. The OBJ
ject Of the system is to establish the
habit of saving among the children and
teach them little about business meth

educated not only the children, but In
many cases the parents as well.
The young depositors are discouraged
from saving merely for the sake Of

their expenses in college after they get :

The Postoffice Department has issued
an order under which users of large
quantities of postage stamps may have
them perforated with letters to iden-
tify their ownership and prevent pilfer-
ing. The perforation must not be over
1-32 inch in diameter. and the perfo-
rated letters must not occupy space
more than one-half inch square. Such
a privilege, If taken advantage of, will
make it impossible for office employees
to steal stamps and sell them to stamp
brokers. or dispose of them in other
ways.-Popular Mechanics
