THRILLING RIDE
i'm Which Hutchinson Coum-
ty Young Man Is a Hero.

Olivet. Oct. 9.-Harvey Bardell,
the young son of a Hutchinson coun-
ty farmer, proved himself a hero
when he dashed on horseback in pur-
suit of a runaway team, overhauled
and stopped them at imminent risk of
his own life, and saved the life of
his little nephew.
George Bardell was hauling 2 load
of wheat with the little son on the
load and jumped to the ground to
open a gate. Before he could get
back on the load the horses became
frightened and ran away.
Harvey Bardell CHANGED to be near
at hand on horseback, being engaged
in driving cattle when the runaway
team dashed by. He put spurs to his
horse, and after an exciting chase of
more than half a mile succeeded in
overhauling the runaways. Driving
his horse to a faster gait he inch by
inch approached the heads of the run
Always, leaned from his saddle, grasp
ed the reins of the runaways and fin
ally stopped them.

FACE ON THE DOLLAR
Story of Beautiful Philadelphian Who
Was the Model.

Washington Post: Probably the
average person is too busy trying to
catch silver dollars ever to bother his
head as to who was the original of
the face on the coin. There was not
only a model for the design, which
model was a beautiful young Amerl-
a girl, but there is an interesting
bit OF history and a fine illustration
of the queer pranks fate may play
connected with the face on the dollar.
A few years previous to the civil
war a daughter of DR.. Arthur r. Will
lis, a wealthy southern slave owner,
became engaged to marry Henry
Williams of Philadelphia. Before the
wedding took place, however, the
brides father suffered such financial
~reverses as to be left penniless. Miss
Willis, however, was married to
Williams, and the young couple
moved to Philadelphia, where in the
course of years the husband made q
fortune.
Eight children were heirs, but
later the fortune, through misman-
agement, was lost by the father, and,
during the civil war, when the ninth
child arrived in the Williams family,
there was scarcely enough to eat.
The saying that 1T never rains but
it pours" was probably old then; at
any rate, 1t seems to have been true,
for when this youngest child, a
daughter named Anna Willis Will

Fall of Antwerp Ea-
ger|y Sought.
ALL EYES ON STRUGGLE
Outcome May Eliminate Belgium
as Factor In Conflict.

London, Oct. 9.-All eyes are turn
ed to the devoted city of Antwerp,
whose fate is regarded here as i'm
portant out of all proportions to the
numbers of men engaged in it's at
tack and defense. Germany not only
must keep an open front door into
France, it is argued here, but she
must be prepared to close the back
door to Essen, a most important mill
tary center, in case the long and
stubborn fight of General Won Kluck,
the commander of the German right
wing, ends in disaster.
The only ray of hope from Ant
werp, from the allies standpoint, is
found in the news that the almost
exhausted garrison there has been re-
inforced by fresh troops and more
guns, believed to have been furnished
by the allies.
Germans Cross River Nethe.
Advices from neutral sources con-
firm heretofore disputed German
claims that they have broken through
the outer circle of Notifications,
crossed the River Nethe and brought
their big guns within range of the
city proper.
If the city falls the Belgian army
will have the alternative. barring sur
render, of attempting to fight its way
through a German-infested country to
effect a juncture with the allies, or Of
%retreating into Holland, there to be
interned until the war ends. The lat
ter course would eliminate Belgium
as a factor In the great struggle. For
days Antwerp has been Eoiding out
in the hope that the left wing of the
allies would swing around in time to
save the city. Recent reports from
the battle line have made it plain
that succor from this sourc is e
tremely doubtful.

Jams, was still an infant, her father
died.
The mother struggled for years in
poverty to bring up and educate her
children, and, when these were well
grown to manhood and womanhood,
the United States treasury depart
ment secured the services of George
Morgan, a designer and engraver. 1t
was Mr.. Morgan's duty to design the
new silver dollar that was about to
be issued, and Mr.. Morgan was at
tached to the mint in Philadelphia.
The reverse side of the coin gave
Mr.. Morgan little worry and was
soon completed. But in his efforts to
find a model for the face of the dol
lar Mr.. Morgan was unsuccessful un-
til he CHANGED to make the acquaint-
ance of the artist, Thomas Eakins,
who knew of a young lady, he said,
who was a veritable living Venus, and
suggested to Mr.. Morgan that posi-
bly, she might be satisfactory for the
model. Miss Anna Willis Williams,
the daughter of the father who made
a fortune and lost it, and the grand
child of the bankrupt slave owner,
the child who from the day of her
birth had known nothing but poverty,
was the young lady suggested by the
artist, and 1t is her face that appears
on the front of the silver dollar.
Thus ii may be said that it required
three generations of financial disaster
and poverty to develop the model for
the dollar of the land.

complement of officers. Since
then 1t has received drafts
bringing the total up to 324.
Today the company is COM
