MIXED MOTIVES

William Jay Schieffelin. vice-presi-
dent of the Mems League for Won
ans Suffrage. said at one of his stri-
king suffrage meetings in Bar Har-
Dor:
If we studied questions with the
sole desire of getting at the truth.
then, no doubt, We should all be SUI
fragists. But we can never approach
a question. it seems, without taking
sides, without becoming partisans, and
as partisans, in our hot wish to van
uuish the other party, truth becomes a
little bit obscured.
Few motives, in this world. can be
pure. That is our great trouble"
Mr.. Schieffelin smiled and resumed:
"A clerk wept bitterly on the beach
one stormy day while out on the boil
ing sea tossed a cockleshell Of fish
ing-boat wherein sat his employer. AS
the clerk watched with wild eyes the
little boat now buried under white
foam, now shooting forward CALAMITY.

hands and cried In great anguish:

"'All very fine,' retorted the client.

Great Rritain's. New COINAGE.


With reference to the suggestion
that the inscription Of Britain's new
coinage should be in English instead
of Latin, one may recall a precedent.
During the Commonwealth, most of
the coins minted bore English inscrip-
tions, and an Irish half-penny issued
by Charles II. bore the English words
God Save the King" 1t was Charles
H., by the way, who first provided
copper coinage, while Henry III. was
responsible for the introduction of
gold into the mint. AS early as the
reign of Edward III. the coinage was
stamped with ship to celebrate the
victory Of Slugs in 1910, a point to be
remembered by those who advocate
the restoration of Britannia's ship to
the new coppers.
