THE NEW 5-GE:NT COIN
An Indian Head ON One
Side, Bison ON the Other.

| The 1913 model scent piece will

mint at Philadelphia began coming
the new pieces a few days ago. Ac-
cordlng to descriptions and pictures
given in the eastern press the new
coin will be about as pretty as the
| funny thing that passes as q IS gold
coin designed by Saint-Gaudens and
authorized for coinage by Roosevelt.
The latest attempt at a scent design
will be curiosity as we'll as II bit Of

verse is the profile of q head said to
1 is something that looks like a buffalo,
is intended to represent the builHlUor
bison, but which in fact looks like All
amateur drawing Off composite steer,
lion, goat and ant hill. If the pie
lures are faithful reproductions Of the
coin it is probable that the public
will take it's time becoming friendly
with it. The Indian wears a couple
OF feathers pinned on nnegl gee fashion,
hair braided down the side, the face
in repose; pathetic repose. On the
Indians neck is "1913, and the base
upon which the bison stands is in
scrbed "Five Cents "Liberty,'
"United States OF America, and "E
Pluribus Unum" are there as usual.
They are the welcome identifications
of the real thing noticeable.
However, the stamp of Uncle Sam
makes the coin as good as gold, and
that is the principal consideration.
The new coin will be in circulation
rs years aud cannot be changed before
that time, according to the coinage
laws. Perhaps the public will be ac
customed to the queer-looking pieces
by that time.
Last year 81, 700, 200 worth OF nick

coinage officials expect that the de-
m>snd this year will r'9n .Jetneen &c.
500, 900 and So 900 900 worth of fnick els.
The demand for the nickel is grow

The new nickel WAS put into gem

received applications from banks for
more than 900 900 of the new coins.

Washington. D. q, Oct. 29.--PreaE
dent Woodrow Wilson has issued hin
first Thanksgiving Day proclamation.
designating Thursday. November 81,
as a day of praise and thanksgiving
The proclamation follows:
The season Is at hand in which It
has been our long respected custom,
Jas a people, to turn in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
manifold mercies and blessings to MS
as a nation. The year that has Just
passed has been marked in q peculiar
degree by manifestations OF His grac-
ious and beneficent providence. We
have not only had peace throughout
our own borders and with the nations
of the world, but peace has been
frightened by constantly multiplying
evidences OF genuine friendship, Of.
mutual sympathy and understanding,
of the happy operation Of many ele,
waiting influences, both OF ideal and.
of practice.
THE nation has been prosperous not
only, but has proved its capacity to
take calm counsel amidst the rapid
movement Of affairs and deal with
its own life in a spirit Of candor,
righteousness and comfy. We have
seen the practical completion OF a
great work at the Isthmls Of Panama,
which not only exemplifies the ma.
tons abundant to accom-.
plish what it viii, and the distinguish
ed skill and capacity of its public
servants, but also promises the be-
ginning of a new age, of new con
facts, new n~eighborhoods, new sym
pathies, new bonds and new achieve
ments of cooperation and peace.
Righteousness ~exalteth a nation
and peace on earth, good will to
men, furnish the only foundation up
on which can be built the last achieve.
ments of the human spirit. The year
has brought us the satisfaction OF
work we'll done and fresh visions Of
our duty. which will make the work
of the future better still.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow VIII
son. President of the United States OF
lAmerica, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 9th of November next, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer, and
invite the people throughout the land
to cease from their Wonted occupa.
tions, and in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks to
Almighty God.
