lydia Gets the Credit.

1t is to Lydia that we owe the inven-
ton of coinage. In all times and In
all countries, the privilege of coming
has been allowed the sovereign.
Croesus of Lydia was the first mon.
arch to introduce bimetallic sys-
tenn of coinage-gold and silver In the
proportion of about three to four.
This was some time between $50 and
546 B. C.
Metal was chosen, doubtless, by rea-
son of its durability and in the case
OF gold and silver, by reason of their
intrinsic value. Silver and brass were
first used, particularly in Greece, from
lack of sufficient gold Later, how.
ever, this definitely was overcome.
The less liable metal is to change
in value. the better it is suited for a
standard.
The Greeks first issued real coin
some time during the seventh cen.

CURIOUS BALLOTS OF WOMEN
Shopping Lists Among Things Put in
Envelopes by Careless Fe-
male Voters.

What I liked about my old posi-
tion," said the ex-secretaTy Of WON
ans club, was the opportunity it
gave me to see some of the funny
things women put into their envelopes
when taking vote on anything by
sealed ballot Sometimes they left
the ballot out altogether, but usually
it accompanied the foreign Enclosure.
The majority of those Enclosures were
shopping lists, and If had wanted to
be mean ! could have got many an
interesting sidelight on members
private economies. Other careless
voters put letters into their envelopes.
] never read any of them, but. judging
by the fuss they made about getting
them back, those letters no doubt fur
nished pretty interesting reading.
"One real romance grew out of mis-
taken ballots. A Eighty young woman
sealed up marriage certificate in hel
envelope. She had been married three
months, but nobody knew anything
about It, and maybe we wouldn't have
found 1t out yet If she hadn't beer
so proud of her marriage certificate
that she had to take 1t out and lool
at 1t every few minutes. and SO go
1t mixed UP with her ballot. The as
sistant secretary opened most of tn
envelopes that day. The marriag
certificate came to her, and the sigh
of 1t turned her head.
why, what Is this?' she sait
Who has been getting married.
Everybody in the room heard, an
there was that certificate faunte
right before their eyes. SO of cours
the wedding couldn't be kept secre
any longer. But l noticed that all th
members were little more .arefl
about voting street car ,ransrs- an
private correspondence after that"

| WILD ORGIES IN NEW GUINEA
Intoxicated Natives, on Periodical
"sprees," Indulge in Fierce
Fights Among Themselves.

Of the unpleasant drinking customs
of certain nations in New Guinea,
Walter Goodfellow writes: we did
not find the people down by the coast
nearly so tractable or companionable
as those at the headwaters of the
river. They were also much more
quarrelsome among themselves. They
tap species of sugar palm UP the
river and make fermented drink out
of 1t. On this they get fearfully in
toxicated and wild orgies take place
all day. Parties of them would go off
in canoes and sit under the palms
from which the drink was obtained.
In the morning they would return ex-
tremely drunk, and fights used to be
the result
Sometimes these fights lasted for
| two days at time. In our vicinity
they more often than not took place
at night The natives then made such
an indescribable din with their howl

sleep at our base camp. Spears and
! showers of arrows were discharged
In all directions and one could hear
/ the sound of their axes dealing blows
on the bodies of the combatants.

AUTO OWNERS
 FIGHT CITY
". E. Dunlap Makes Test taSc on AG-
 to License at Helena.

Helena, Aug. S.-Antomobile own CTS of this city are awaiting with much interest the outcome of the test case which is now before the cir cult court of this county. At the last session of the city council the report ot the city collector showed deficit of $261 uncollecled auto taxes assess ed by the city against the various owners, but which has been ignored in toto by the said owners, in view of the recent state law requiring tax of that amount and which is held to exempt them from any further in- Engagements of like nature.
 w. E. Dunlap of this city was the test case, the usual fine being assess ed and which was promptly appealed. Both factions are confident over the result, and quite little interest is being manifested over the probable results.
