REBELS COIN MONEY
Coins Not Pretentious and Look as if

Coins Not Pretentious and Look as If
Made by Amateurs.
Juarez, Mexico.-It is not generally
known that the Constitutionalist forces
in Mexico have coined money in silver
and copper. These coins were struck
in Chihuahua and are very crudely
done-in fact, are about the most
amateurish pieces of money that have
been produced in many years. The
peso or dollar has on one side simply
n del Parral, 1913," in a siwreath. and
on the other side, II peso.' 80.
The half dollar is more pretentious
On one side is the inscription, i SFuer-
zas Observation-Disclosures, 1913" (Constitu-
tional forces), and in the center a lib
erty cap surrounded by rays, copy
Of the older style of Mexican coins
The reverse has 80 centavos" in. q
wreath, poor copy Of the present
coinage Of Huerta. The copper piece
which is said to have been made from
trolley wire melted down, is similar to
the so centavos, but has ~ G" in a
wreath for 2 centavos.

Be A SPINSTER AND
LIVE LONG, He SAYS
Life Insurance Man Gives Sta.
tistlcs or Death Rate. :,

New York.-The spinster lives longer
than the married woman ..~
The business woman lives longer
than the business man.
The woman who takes out an endOW-
ment insurance policy lives longer
than the woman who takes out a
straight life policy.
These facts-and Arthur Hunter, &C.
tuary Of leading company, said they
were facts-were gathered last year by
experts in the employ of the forty
three leading companies in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Hunter didn't explain why the
unmarried woman survives the matrOn
nor why the business woman outlives
the business man, but he revealed why
the woman who takes unto herself an
endowment policy lasts longer than the
woman who has to die to win.
1.-THE endowment woman just gets
up her spirit and determines to live
until the policy natures he said. 1.-The
other woman signs, oh, what's the
use?' and shuffles off,"
Mr.. Hunter said there were more
fatal accidents in this country than
elsewhere because of the American
'I'll take chance" spirit. The Amer
lean, he said. takes all sorts of risks to
save time and inconvenience. The for
eigner doesn't do that at home, but
when he comes here he becomes in
fected.
"The mortality rate among engineers
and firemen is eight times that Of men
in other callings," he said, "and among
policemen about 40 per cent higher
With policemen it is on the increase"
Mr.. Hunter said that the business
woman kept herself going by a deter
mination to fight it out. She had some
thing tangible, something to live for,
whereas the business man takes his
work as matter of course and is apa-
thetic.

Homer Elwell, superintendent of the

Mr.. Elwell considered the request a
joke, he finally sent the pouches.
Railway mail clerks declared that
they had been receiving small ship

buyer. The parcel post rules provide
dried pelts may be sent through the

London Government Board Objects to
Offending Dust Heap.
London.-An outbreak of enteritis
occurred last summer among the chill
dren in the Southwark infirmary, and
nine died. The epidemic was definitely
traced to the presence near the infirm-
ary of the Camberwell borough coun-
ellis dump for dust and rubbish, which
is now taken to a railway siding at
East Dulwich railway station, close to
the infirmary. T.
The local government board has
again called upon the Camberwell bor-
ough council to make other arrange
ments for the removal of it's dust and
rubbish.
DIR. Bruce, the medical superintend-
ent, declared that the cause of the out
break was to be found in the dust sid
ing. During hot weather, he said, the
institution swarmed with flies, and the
children's wards were unbearable
Dr. Fletcher, local government
board inspector, supported DR.. Bruce.
but the borough council for the second
time declined to take action and mere

eighteen lions were bagged, including

The largest lion was jumped at a

~ checked, if not entirely eradicated,
says report to .Brigadier General Nc
Intyre, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, from the collector Of Internal
revenue in the Philippines. He says
that as result Of laws on the subject
the use of opium is now confined to a
comparatively small number Of con-
frmed users of the drug, practically all
of whom are Chinese, who cannot give
up the vice and who will go to any
length to obtain it,
While there are in many parts Of the
islands scattering instances where Fill
pinos still indulge in the use of opium,
it is reported that less than 5 per cent
of the former Filipino users, who had
numbered 10000 in 1906, were still vic
tins of the vice in 1911 and that since
then conditions in Manila have greatly
improved. Conditions in the provinces
are said to be fairly satisfactory.
1T is perhaps too much" the report
says. Ito suspect that the opium evil
will ever be absolutely suppressed in
the Philippine Islands. 1t may be said,
however, that almost without excep-
ton Chinese users Of opium in any Of
it's forms are today using much small
er amount than that used by the same
persons few years ago. This is
shown by the comparative ease with
which Chinese users sent to the hospi-
tai today are cured. The only hope of
approximating total suppression lies in
making indulgence in the habit so diff
cult that the younger generation will
not acquire it, and in this direction the
progress made has certainly been most
satisfactory"

CLEVELAND USING
EASTERN Time NOW
Much Confusion as All Clocks
Are Moved Forward an Hour.

Cleveland-Eastern time has Official
ly superseded central standard time
here. Clevelanders are fitting their

che new time had preliminary try
out in many business places and
homes. In Offices clocks were turned
ahead an hour at noon lunch period.
Employees returned to work on cen
trail time, thus getting an extra hour
The majority Of Clevelanders, how
ever, lost an hour when clocks were
turned ahead.
The Cleveland Athletic club observ-
ed the change with an eastern time"
party, and factory whistles announced
the shifting of clocks. Clocks in pub
lie schools, were moved ahead. In
many buildings special exercises were
held. Churches, both Protestant and
Catholic, will go by eastern time.
At the new courthouse central time
prevails, state statute prescribing
central time must be used. So far as
the chamber. of commerce could learn,
not Cleveland factory or business
house will continue to be governed by
central standard time. All churches
conduct their services under the new
order. Theaters, saloons and profess
sional and amateur baseball organiza-
tons observe the change.
The dairymen and truck gardeners
have arranged to make their rounds
an hour earlier, so breakfast need not
be late. The movement for eastern
time became state wide last winter
but the legislature failed to provide
for the change. Cleveland then took
the initiative.

a high school graduate, twenty years
of age and finished musician.
In that one night Cupid accomplished
for the roamer what "a No. l" had
been trying to do for himself for
quarter Of a century.
Love was stronger than wanderlust,
and they were engaged. The announce
ment caused CONSERVATION among the
ladies of Erie They whispered about
the outrage Of pretty Miss Trohoski
throwing herself away on a hobo.
Some Of her friends came to her with
tears in their voices and pleaded with
her to reconsider it. All in vain. Miss
Trohoski replied that hers was not the
common variety Of hobo. She was
right. He is the most remarkable
roamer in trampdom.
"a No. Is" history is too we'll known
to require any detailed comment. He
ran away from home when he was
eleven years Of age and became yegg-
man kid. A yeggman tramp doesn't
beg; he robs; he would blackjack
man for meal. He always has kid
to travel with him, for the child can
stand outside while he is cracking a
safe and give him the signal when a
copper" approaches Besides, the kid,
with the appeal that his tender years
makes, can get food for both by beg
ging for it, while regular old tramp
would be more likely to get Jail.
The yeggman that this hobo travelled
with thirty years ago called him "a
No. II kid. The boy got his 'monicker"
from this: tramps never have real
names. They are called "Alkai Ike"
or "Box Car Bonnie" or the like. Ask
"a No. /" his real name, and he will
reply, "Sh-sh-just "A No. L."
He has picture of himself and Jack
London taken during their companion
