COIN SOMETHING OF A FREAK
Albanian the Possessor Of silver Dol
lar with Two Heads-lts
History.

Hansel W. Compton has just 70.
turned from New Orleans. La. where
he went upon a business trip, bring.
ing with him the only genuine silver
dollar with heads stamped IN both
sides ever seen in Atlanta. And there
by hangs a tale. relates the Atlantic
Constitution.
Mr.. Compton got this silver dollar
in change and did not notice the un
usual fact about 1t at the time. Some
time later he was matching q friend
for car fare, happening to 8 this
silver dollar. when he noticed that tho
coin fell heads every time. He
looked closer and saw hat there a
a head on each side of the dollar. I'm
der n head were the figures "1906,s
the date Of the initial stamping, and
under the other 1902" the date q
the second stamping.
He showed It TO several New Or
cans men. who offered him various
premiums the highest being SIC. all Of
which he refused.
The story in connection with this
coin Is as follows: An employe in
the New Orleans mint, whose duty
1t was to run the silver coin through
the dies to have the head stamped up
on 1t substituted a current silver dol.
lar for the coin Immediately after
the head had been stamped upon Il,
with the other side unstamped and
perfectly slick. This vas in 1900.
Three years later he ran the coin
through the stamper for the reverse
side. fmpressing another head and
1909 POI it. The fact that a coin
had been put in. at the first instance.
to replace the half-coined dollar, pre-.
vented detection. In this manner. IL
is explained, the silver dollar came to
have its two heads.

IN DANGER.

Now the regulars" are saying that
unless the 'insurgents" let UP there is
danger that the democrats will get the
next house. That is the same as say-
ing that rather than see the admitted
principles of the platform on which
the people elected the president applied
in legislation, the regulars will even
throw the election to the democrats.
1t is already said h a they secretly
hope that this will be the result, hop
ing that in a couple Of years the peo-
pie would get tired of the democratic
regime, the progressive craze would
be dead, and the republican congress
be returned with the "oid guard" in
full power as Of yore. They of course
have not published this, but somebody
has leaked.

WHERE HURRY is UNKNOWN
Travellers In Newfoundland Must Have
Leisure and Take ThIn9s 10
They Are Found.


Our first journey vas made by train.
says Olivia Howard Dunbar In Har-
per's. We had not yet decided where
we were going, but in any case there
was but one train to take, and there
would be plenty Of time to settle on
the destination after we yer once
aboard. We made IN unnecessary
stir about Catching" this train-a
phrase that still chung to us-because
it was advertised to leave at 8:45 in
the morning. The lady hotel clerk.
when we presented our cas- to her the
night before leaving. in the nervous,
imperative American fashion. gave US
dubious reinsurance. In the soothing
brogue Of the Newfoundlander, with
whom the upward infection signifies
acQuiescence in everything that Is. we
were told that the hotel did not serve
early breakfast, and hat although it
was possible that the truckmen (who
operated q raft on wheels) Might ap-
pear in time to convey our trunks to
the station, It was nevertheless not
their habit to begin work before nine
o'clock.
We did not succeed in altering the
country's custom, and therefore left
st. Johns when the train got ready
to take US. which was not at the hour
scheduled. But we were the only
travellers who experienced any agita-
ton on hat account. 1t is recog-
nized that nobody bound for the out
ports can possibly be in a hurry. and
the Newfoundlander enjoys and makes
the most OF the social opportunities
that an elastic time table provides.
We came to understand hat an hours
margin both in advance and in retard
of the nominal hour Is allowed by all
discreet travellers. But If sociability-
we never got on 4 train without find
ing some n able and willing t tell
US where to get OF. and following hts
advtcerh sociability is the pre-emi-
nent feature OF the Newfoundland
railway service, its pickntcking facili-
Ties are no less markedly agreeable.
That Is to say. II you take q Ave hours
journey you may count upon spending
three of them in waiting somewhere.
II you are properly equipped with a
picnic basket, you wander out into the
adjoining landscape and eat some
thing. and later concede that q great
charm has been lent to travel. And
stocking a luncheon bag shortly be-
comes as simple a matter of routine
as packing a handbag. In no boast
ing spirit, but al a stimulus to later
travellers, neither the tin opener, the
cork-screw O the acuu bottle,
which are the chief requisites of q
railway journey. vas once forgotten.

mILKMEN.

Oskaloosa having passed an ordi-
nance providing for inspection of herds
from which the city is supplied with
milk thirty dairymen met in solemn
conclave and concluded they wouldn't
have it so. Every man present ex-
pressed himself as fixed in the determi-
notion to quit the Oskaloosa field if the
city insisted upon the COWS being sub
jected to the tuberculin tests.
Well, that is the object of the ordi-
nance is it not? The idea is, if properly
understood that the milk seller who
refuses TO have his cows tested must
quit the Oskaloosa field" incontinently
at the toe of a boot. Why this conclave
way whereby they may stay?
The Oskaloosa milkmen are bluffing
in a pitifully small way. Imagine that
little band of Spartan milkmen in a
liberty or death attitude insisting that
they shall remain u~ndisturbed in the
privilege to peddle possibilities OF white
plague among the children of Oska-
loosa, demanding immunity from scien-
tifc examination of their cows and that
the babes take their chance.
Let them quit. See that they quit.
The milk business will not decay be-
cause they go. There's money in it,
decent, honest, unaffected money in it
for men who are ready TO observe the
laws OF the city and of common hu-
mainly. Rake their herds with a fine
tooth comb for tubercular cows, and
ate that they do not sell the con
demned cows to the butcher.

Life. Ie..ons.

An old gentleman. well on in years.
sits handsomely and naturally in the
bow.window Of his age. scanning ex.
perience with reverted eye; and.
chirping and smiling, communicates
the accidents and reads the lesson Of
his long career. Opinions are strength
ened, indeed. but they are also weed
ed out in the course of years. What
remains steadily present to the eye
Of the retired veteran in his hermit
age. what still ministers to his con-
tent, what still Quickens his old hon
est heart-these are "the real long
lived things"-that Whitman tells VI
to prefer. Where youth agrees with
age. not where they differ. wisdom
dies, and it is when the young dis
ciple finds his heart to beat in tuno
with his gray-bearded teachers that q
lesson may be learned.-Robert Louis

Reference was made last week to the
attempt of the Waterville Sentinel to
connect President Taft's visit to Maine
with a move to secure the reelection of
Senator Hale. To show how Democrats
differ a special from Rockland to the
Boston Globe says: "But Mr.. Taft was
not in Maine to assist Senator Hale and
he only referred to him as among the
States eminent men in his Bangor
speech" The Globe representative had,
however, to get off some hot air and con-
jures up an imaginary struggle between
Mr.. Cobb and Mayor McLoon as to who
should have the honor of presenting
President Taft to the people, in which
the mayor insisted on his rights and
prevailed. Every one who knows Elk
Gov. Cobb will at once stamp this story
as improbable and untrue. He is not
that kind Of a man. He is making no
active campaign for the Senatorship,
and will not until after the September
election, believing it to be the first duty
of every Republican to devote his ener-
gies until that time to ensuring decisive
victory at the polls.

BURNHAM.
During the heavy thunder storm of last
Thursday afternoon Adena, the 16.months old
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Chand
Ter, met with serious accident, which. it was
feared, would cause blindness. Mrs. Chandler
was engaged in ironing and the little one was
playing near a screen door when sudden flash
ler's iron. The child Immediately began to
cry and upon investigation it was found that
she was badly burned across the forehead,
eyes and nose Medical aid was summoned
and the loss of the eyesight was feared at that
time. Friday morning there was some encour-
agement that the sight of the right eye might
be all right. Later advices are more encourage
ing and no serious results are anticipated al
though the little one is confined to dark room.
Mr. and Mrs. Chandler have the sympathy of
many friends because of the accident to the
little one, who is a very bright, lovable little
girl. The funeral service of Leon R. Allen,
whose death occurred at the home of his par
ents July 25th, was conducted there last Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock. large attendance
of friends of the family and classmates being
in attendance. Rev. E. K. Jordan, pastor of
the Pittsfeld Free Baptist church, officiated
and the bearers were Norman Willis of Har-
mony, Myron Peabody of Exeter, Earl Ames
of Etna and Leon R. Haines of Clinton all
members of the class of 1911, M. C. l., of which
the deceased was an esteemed member.
