Present From Grateful Convert.
The walking stick of General Booth
used on the last walk he ever took
has a little history of its own. At
meeting in Paris some time ago a
notorious Russian anarchist was con
verted by the generals eloquence, and
soon after the latter's return to Eng
land he received from his convert a
piece of string, with the request that
a knot might be tied in it to show the
length of the walking-stick the gen
eral usually carried The string was
knotted accordingly and returned to
Paris, and little later this stick ar
rived in London, present from the
grateful convert and the work of his
own hands.

looked upon unfavorably by this par

This was a new note to couple of

BIG DEMAND FOR 1911 COINS
cIamor for New Quarters and Halves
Greater Than Uncle Sam Was
Able to Supply.

There was an extraordinary de-
mand in the east and south character
istic OF the Christmas holiday season.
for quarters and half dollars Of the
1911 issue.
Washington treasury officials were
unable to determine whether the de-
mand was produced by a desire OF
people to make small presents to
their friends in new money or a wish
of the banks to advertise to their
patrons that they were distributing
1911 coins. There is always a strong
public sentiment in favor Of new
money.
Because of this strong demand.
which was probably 20 per cent larg-
er than ever before, word was sent

COURT OPINIONS IN SKELETON
Chief Justice White Invents Labor
Saving Device for Transmitting
Sense Of Decisions. 81

Skeleton opinions have been In
vented by Chief Justice White, to re-
leve the Supreme court Of the
United States of much labor. He has
named them officially memorandum"
opinions.
This new sort of opinion was de-
signed to meet the heavy demands up
on the time and energies of the JUS
tees, due to the increased number Of
cases taken under adyisement since
Chief Justice White came TO the head
of the court 1t will relieve the JUS
tees from making an exhaustive
statement in regard to ALI the facts
and law concerned in EACH case, and
yet will give to litigants more reasons
for the courts decision than would
be contained in the time-homored per
curiam" opinions.
Skeleton or memorandum" opin.
ions were recently given for the first
time and their nature was revealed
when the written opinions were filed
with the clerk of the court. These
show that the justices take various
views OF what a skeleton opinion
may be. Justice Lamar announced a
memorandum" opinion In which
everything said was based on cited
authority. Justice Lurton, on the
other hand. prepared one in which not
a single authority was cited.
