The InfallibIe Lady.

John Corbin, author and playwright,
said recently that he had resigned the
post of literary director of the New
theater because he disliked the su-
perior air that such Offices carry with
them.

said. You make enemy after enelAy.
You pretend to be infallible, and the

Ancient Rome.

For the last year systematic excava-
tons have been made at Ostia, the
ancient harbor of Rome at the mouth
of the Tiber. The ruins of a large
city. built probably by Hadrian over
the old republican town. have been
uncovered. Archaeologists consider
the discoveries as important as those
OF Pompeii. Heretofore it has been be-
lieved that Ostia was founded by An
Gus Martius. the fourth king Of Rome,
that it was destroyed by Marius during
the civil wars, rebuilt during the re-
public, sank into insignificance, and
was buried in the sand and deposited
In the Tiber when Trajan built the
new port and city of Portus. Instead
of this 1t is now certain that Ostia
not only continued to flourish under
Hadrian, but that the old level was
raised six feet, and that the republic
an town served as foundation for
model city, with rectangular wide
streets. temples, fora and squares.

The circus has come to town and

be crowds making their way to the
State park near the eastern limits OF
the city to take it in. All the chill
dren will go and all the grown people
too, as those who have not got chill
dren or grandchildren to take along as
an excuse will borrow some. They will
all be sure and be there to see the
clowns. performers, the equestrians
and equestriennes, the chariot driv-
ers. the freaks and the wild animals.
Yes, the circus is here and everyone
is filled with the circus spirit.
Long before the break of day
Pintes and Washoes from all direc-
lions and from numerous camps came
piling into the city and long before
the hour for the circus parade the
streets were so filed with the red
men, their babies and their dogs that
1t was difficult for pedestrian to trav-
ell. Then little later the causcasian
population of the city and from the
surrounding country began to gather

grandmother and everyone entered

History Of Three-Dollar Gold Pieces.

Beginning with the year 1854 and
ending with the year 1889, there were
539,7e2 of three-dollar gold coins sent
out from the United States mints. a
total value OF s1,619,376. A few were
made in the early years of the minis
at Dahlonega and New Orleans and
quite number at the San Francisco
mint up to 1860, but the bulk of these
coins were turned out by the mint at
Philadelphia. They were never coined
In sufficient numbers. these figures
show. to become really familiar, to the
people outside of banks, and 1t is
hardly strange that the existence Of
the coin should be now largely for
gotten.-Housekeepe Magazine.

known throughout the state and espe-
cially in Keokuk, having come to this
city many times during his long life
to attend conventions and preach from
the pulpit. A very interesting sketch
is published in the Burlington Gazette
and is reprinted in part:
The death at an early hour this
morning Of Doctor William Salter,
first private citizen OF Iowa, pastor
for sixty-four years of the First Con-
gregational church OF this city, histo-
rian, educator, man of affairs, loyal
citizen and patriot, is a matter of
profound regret among all classes and
conditions of men In this community.
Since he came here, In early pioneer
days, he has fought the good fight,
has been true to his faith and his call
ing, has been the friend of al good
measures, has lead his people In the
paths of righteousness and right-think-
ing and has been a constant and de-
voted aid to the splendid development
of this state Liberal of mind and
heart, courageous of soul, he has
never sought by the exercise of sen
sationalism or overzealousness to
mould public opinion, but rather by
the transcendant example of his daily
life, by his ability to preach the Cos
pei so that even the humbiest could
understand, by the power of his great
understanding, his wonderful wisdom
and insight into the hearts and
thoughts of his fellows, was he able
to point out the right path, instill
confidence in the hearts of the wav-
ne ever was in this community. En-
dowed with talents beyond the for
tune of most mortals, he became q
man among men, and during all of his
long life, never faltered, ever increas

example of noble Christianity, OF de
cency, Of right thought, of unselfisf
loyalty to home, neighbors and the
nation. During his long life in this
community he became its most be
loved and revered member There
was none so beyond the pale of de
cency to lift up his voice against The
Congregational minister. He stood
out among his fellows as one to whom

twelve young apostles of the faith
