made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts, but Billy was in the game tc
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as an en-
grayer and tool maker
But the fishing was good and We
could afford to live on the fat Of the
land; so tho whims Of Billy did not
bother us much,
If Billy was a crank in his way, he
was an angel compared with Frenchy
Kline, who was the most mysterious
man l ever met, and I have seen a lot
of curious specimens. Frenchy was a
dangerous fellow to go with, for his
manners were so strange that he was
sure TO attract attention and arouse
suspicion | have known him to sc
for weeks and never speak a word
He was an expert chemist and could
have made a fortune in the business
by going on the level, but he preferred
to be a crook. There we're two things
he could do better than any man In
tho world, lie could make genuine
paper, for use as money, and com
position of metals which resembled
silver and gold so closely that It would
require an analysis in the assay Office
to prove they were spurious, While
Billy was making dies, Klino was mix
ing up pots Of metal and turning out
bars OF yellow gold
Billy finally finished his dies, and
then had the parts Of stamping ma
chine built in different foundries and
machine shops, We brought the sec
tons 10 Ravenswood on our truck
and they were put together in a barn

boiler 10 run the stamping machine,
and were ready for business But

in the mint, but our $40 and $50 coins
were just as good as any that ever
loft the mint, with the exception that
the impression made on tho front and
back Of the coins was not quite as
heavy as the genuine, After tho
stamping tho money was put into a
milling machine, to corrugate tho

coin tho appearance Of age
The coin, as fast as It was made,
was put into kegs, and when we got

LONG SEPARATE COAT
IDEA THAT HAS ENDORSEMENT
OF FASHION LEADERS.
Comfort and Utility Combined in Gar
ment-Monk's Hood a Feature of
New Model Put Out for Popu-
lar Approval.

For all-around comfort and utility
the long separate coat is St,i.l,' much in
favor in Pa Paris ..s. Tine well-dressed
Parisienne always numbers one long
coat in her outfit and uses it for trav-
cling by boat, train or motor. That
is one of the reasons for the imacu-
late, chic" appearance of the French
woman-yes, even in railroad sta
ton.
There are many new touches that
our designers in the great center of
fashion have added to new models.
For instance. the monks hood, which
is the large circular or square collar
converted to a pointed and tasseled
hood at the back, is one of the addi-
tions to long serge, ratine, cheviot or
English suiting cloaks. This can real
ly be used as a hood, the front re-
vers buttoning over and the capuchin
fully protecting the head.
Buttons in large motherof-pearl,
tortoise-shell or brass form a decided
feature in trimming the separate
coats. Braid is used largely to sim
ulate buttOnholes and to give a
jaunty, military effect.
Triple capes, double capes and
large pockets are in vogue, while the
Innings of these favorites are service
able and decidedly attractive. They
are supplied with many ample peck
cts, and the wearer can rejoice HI a
delightful warmth as well
Some models show a fastening at
the right side, but generally speaking
our Parisienne prefers to button over
to the left and the modistes have re-
garded her choice.
Contrasting collars and cuffs of
white on colors or bright colOrs on
neutral shades are the mode.
Some wraps or coats are cut on
straight lines and others have odd
little seams and deviations from the
straight models. Little panels are in
set, the line of the waist is clearly
suggested on some and belts are very
much in evidence.
Large revers are the feature, and
the pointed or round shaped collars at
the back promise to decorate success
fully the favorite garment
Heavy double-faced cloths are wide
ly used. This means that folded
back hem, rever, cuff or tab will trim
the coat by its contrasting pattern.
Just few buttons added to this. and
madame is ready
In closing our little chat on coats,
let the question of sleeves be not dis
regarded For very wide material the
vogue for the kimono sleeve is still
emphasized. Raglan sleeves are al
SO used on storm coats The comfort
of these types is to be regarded and
seems to promise decided continu-
alton of the favor of the last season.

A hen is not supposed to have much
common sense or tact, yet every time
she lays an egg she cackles forth the
fact
A rooster hasn't got a lot of intel
lect to show, but none the less most
roosters have enough good sense to
crow
The mule, the most despised of
beasts, has a persistent way of letting
people know he's around by his in

OHIO SEEMS BADLY SPLIT UP

The New York World, wants 20
know what's the matter with Ohio. it
cites the fact that a strong Republi-
can faction in Ohio denounces Taft
and calls for a presidential candidate
from outside the State, while a strong
Democratic faction denounces Har-
mon and calls for a nominee from
another commonwealth: While every
other State is trying to trot out
favorite son or a pair of them, Ohio
will have none of hers.
Present indications are that both
the Republican and Democratic nomi-
nees for President this year will be
Ohians, whether Ohioans like it or not
But, as a matter of fact, the. factions
which have already declared against
Taft and against Harmon represent
but a small portion of their respec-
tive parties in that State.
Mr.. Taft will undoubtedly have a
solid Ohio delegation at the Republi-
can convention and Mr.. Harmon the
same sort at the Democratic conven-
ton. Mr.. Taft's only rival in Ohio IS
Mr.. La Toilette and after the latter 8
whirlwind tour through the state, his
own faction declined to endorse him
for the Presidency. Mr.. Harmon has
no formidable rival in Ohio He pos
Sesses the confidence and esteem If
the Democrats of that State. as has
been frequently attested; and he also
has the respect of the Republicans and
the members of all parties in that
state. He is the strongest man polit-
ically in Ohio, regardless of party He
will receive the solid vote of Ohio for
the Democratic nomination and he
will carry Ohio in the election by a
substantial majority
There has grown up an impression
as the World says, that a man is not
eligible for the Presidency unless born
in Ohio. We have had Hayes, Gar
field, Mckinley and Taft. And next
time we are to have either Taft again
or Harmon. SO Ohio is in line for a
maintenance of it's President-naming
prerogative. That being the case, its
factions ought to stick together and
acknowledge the honor with pride and
unanimity.
