There y very little difference In
height between Bartholdi's statue Of
Liberty on Bedloe's island and that
given Of the famous COLOSSUS Of

from the base to the top Of the torch.
while the Rhodian statue was In

that the Colossus overtopped Hber-

Wall street received its name from

What charm has the seventh son?
Does il mean . family Of only seven
sons or does il make any difference IT
pirls are older or in between and still
there are seven sons7 What chapter
and verse in the Bible can We find
where il will tell Us?
Seven was q sacred number among
the Jews and also among the Greeks
and Egyptians long before the Chris
tan era. The number seven is applied
to many things in the Bible. but in no
instance il the seventh son accorded
any distinction or differentiated in any
way from other sons, second, fifth Or
sixth. In the New Testament many
things occur by sevens. as seven
bolized by seven candlesticks, seven
stars. seven seals. seven Walls. etc.
The frequent occurrence Of the num-
Der in the Bible may have given rise
to the popular superstition which at
tributed special virtue to seventh son
and invested the seventh son of sew
enth son with supernatural powers;
but. like many other popular supersti-
lions, It had no foundation in reason
and certainly none in Scriptural au-
thority. A seventh daughter Of sew
enth daughter is Of equal Importance.
In what year did the United States
government issue trade dollars? For
what purpose were they issued and why
were they not = legal tender7
They were issued from 1874 to 1878
as special coinage for use in trade
with China in competition with the
Spanish and Mexican dollars. They
were not intended for general circula-
ton in the United States and had only
a limited home circulation when FIRST
issued. They were made legal tender
to the amount Of IS, but the legal
tender provision was repealed in 1876.
The weight was 42O grains, while the
standard silver American dollar weigh
ed 4121a grains. They were finally re.
deemed in standard silver dollars and
retired.

age. is lying at st. Anthony's hospital
in a critical condition as result of a
hard faI! at her home, 635 Thirty-ninth

break the force of the fall, and both
the right and left forearms were brok-
en-. Aside from this she sustained
badly wrenched right knee. with Sc
we're bruises about the head and shoul-
ders. The arms are broken between
the elbow and wrist and the fractures
are serious ones. Owing to her ad-
vanced age. her recovery is doubtful.

Cupid in His Wiles.

While today there were changes OF
faces at the court house as newly
elected officers assumed their duties,
yet there was one gray haired, be-
grizzled old man, who has earned a
meagre living in the county building
and who will still thrive there. and

his face lined with wrinkles. a dull
look in his eye, but always on the
sharp lookout for business. with his
clothes patched and dirty, stands
guard in either the corridor or just
outside of the building.
His business there? Some would
term him a henchman of d. Cupid and
others would say he is a district dep
uty for the order of St. Benedict.
Still it may not be clear. He is
waiting and watching for the proud
young man, with the blushing maid at
his side, who visits the county clerks
Office and there secures a license for
marriage. He watches with eagle-eye
and when he sees the couple leaving
the building, he assumes a polite role,
one to which from his face and figure
one would stamp him a stranger, in

knows a quiet little place where they
may be Joined together and given a
start on the road to connubial bliss.
Oftimes he is successful and - the
soon-to-be groom and soon-to-be bride,
nod their heads in acquiescence and
togther the three go to a local justice
of the peace, where the knot is tied.
But where does he come in? The
justice takes care of that. II is said
that usually it is a quarter, or if the
groom happens to pay more than the
customary sum, it is more, occasion
ally even a half dollar
Many officials in the court house
have seen him and have asked each
other who he was, but none seemed
to have learned. They wondered why
he stood there. the picture of watch

that all the money he earned was made
