Evolution of the Dollar Sian.

The abbreviation "Ps,'' to signify Pc
SOS, was the origin of the American
dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When America
was first settled the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for
the trade Of the world. The word dol
lar is but a corruption of the Dutch
''thaler" or "thaller." a coin much used
In commerce at that period and which
superseded the "pieces of eight Of
Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster,
which was the Spanish name for the
pieces of eight" was worth approx
mately the same as the thaller, and as
the Dutch name was easier to say it
found a place in our language in the
corrupted form, while the abbreviation
Tor the peso remained as the sole re-
minder of the Spanish mintage In our

President Wilson's action with
regard to offensive statements
made in the United States by for
eign diplomats comes none too
soop, nor can it be too vigorously
followed up.
These indiscretions of the
trained" diplomats are peculiar
ly distasteful at this time. They
tend to increase the difficulties Of
the Government. Either direct
ly or indirectly, they challenge
its announced policies
The idea that seems to possess
some foreign diplomats that this
is a country where anybody, no
matter what his official position,
may appeal from the Government
to the people or give unsolicited
advice to the nation did not, of
course, originate with the indi-
viduals who are at present in bad
odor with Washington.
We have had similar imperti-
nences from foreign diplomats
before. In taking appropriate
action President Wilson is simply
doing what was done in the case
of the Frenchman, Genet, and
the Englishman. Sackville West
He is doing what any self
respecting government is COM
PEELED to do.
1t is to be hoped that his action
will serve to teach indiscreetrep-
resentatives of foreign powers
that, although we have citizens
of British, German and French
birth, for example, the repre-
sentatives of those nations are
not warranted in speaking here
as freely as they would at home
in their own house; in brief, that
this is a nation and not a collec-
ton of foreign colonies. Pres
ident Wilson has done we'll to
emphasize the fact that the
American people feel entirely ca
pable of formulating their own
policies in external affairs and
are not disposed to tolerate at
tempts to manufacture and use
American sentiment as a foreign
asset. Chicago Herald Qnd.)

Why He Wanted the Coat.

When the cruiser Boston went into
action in the battle of Manila Bay one
of the powder boys took off his coat
hurriedly, and it went over the rail
into the water. He turned to the near
est officer and asked permission to
Jump overheard and recover it.
Naturally the request was refused,

the ship, climbed down the ladder,
swan around to where the coat was
floating and came back with 1t.
The action was noticed, and the off,
Ger ordered him put in the brig.
After the battle the boy was court
martialed and found guilty Of disobe-
dience of orders, and he made no de-
Tense.
Being in command Of the feet, Com
modore Dewey had to review the find
tngs of the court. He sent for the lad
and asked him in a kindly way why
he had risked punishment for an old
coat.
The boy broke into tears and ex-
planned that his mothers picture was
In the coat pocket and he could not
bear to lose it.
The gallant commodore fairly picked
the boy up in his arms and then or
dered him to be instantly released and
pardoned.
"Boys who love their mothers enough

cannot be imprisoned on this feet" he

DUTIES OF AUDITORS.
Officials Forget Politics and Take Up
Practical Problems.

Des Moines, June S.-Weighty
problems of politics having been
settled some of the county auditors
are turning to practical matters.
For instance a county auditor put
it up to the legal department of the
state to say when a cub wolf be-
comes wolf, or in other words at
what age it ceases to be a cub.
The question is important. There is
a bounty Of 81 on cub and $40 on
a wolf. How is county auditor 60
ing to know which is which? Can
he tell by looking at the teeth? If
a political friend brings in a pelt
for the bounty is it always a wolf,
while if brought in by an enemy is
it always cub?
Assistant Attorney General Rob-
ms, who is in training for a place
on the bench in the Fifth judicial
district, having been duly nominated
looked it up. In brief, he found
there were no judicial decisions as
to what a cub is. but the meaning
of the term adult is fairly we'll es-
tablished, and it meant one having
attained full growth. So a cub must

immense crowd was out Sunday, to
enjoy the excellent music and the
beauties of the park.
This year the park is a most at
tractive place, not only for the young
but the older people as we'll, for it
is one of the finest natural parks in
this part of the country The at
fractions furnished are proving a
source of much pleasure, and a more
ideal place to spend the day is hard
to find. Hundreds of out-of-town
visitors enjoy the pleasures of the
Park every Sunday, and this year,
with the band furnishing appropriate
music afternoons and evenings, an
immense throng of visitors will take
in and enjoy the beauties of the park.

LANDED THE FISH.
Huge Bass Almost Ended the Career
of Tom Connors Near Power
Dam Last Thursday.

Last Thursday Tom Connors and
A. E. Kenyon took drive down in
the vicinity of the first power dam to
try their luck (Which is generally
good,) for a few bass, and whatever
other game fish that might acciden-
tally get on their lines. After their
arrival they carefully baited their
hooks with some imported minnows
received from the Panama Canal
Zone, and started in with a deter
mination to show the fishermen in
this vicinity what experts can do
with the rod and reel
After batting their hooks with the
imported minnows, Mr.. Connors wad-
ed out into the stream where he
knew the largest bass always waited
for luncheon. He played out his
line and it was only the matter of
a few minutes before the strangest
commotion ever happening in the
Upper Iowa took place. A bass, we
are not at liberty to say how large,
grabbed that imported bait, and in
trying to save the fish and the day
Tom backed into a huge rock stand
ing several feet above the waters
edge, and down he went, up to his
chin and the faithful pipe he was
smoking. Mr.. Kenyon, who was
some distance away, thought he had
suffered sunstroke and rushed to
his assistance, but on nearing him
Mr.. Connors arose from the waves,
and fourished the above mentioned
bass. Gene was dumfounded at the
size of the fish, and the only assis-
lance he rendered was helping Tom
to get the fish on shore, which they
both did after struggle. OF course
it was not the only fish they landed
that day, because the writer had a
| feast on some of the catch, which
was the finest we have tasted in
many a day-black bass-some OF
the best the old Iowa affords.
The big fish, which almost cut
+, short the career of Tom, we under
stand was sent to England to grace
the table Of suffragette banquet.

Mr.. Ole Nelson, a former resident
of this county, passed away Saturday
at the home of John Hegg in Glen
wood Twp. He was taken sick on

sided at Twin Valley, Mimi, for a
good many years, and for the past
few years have been residents of De-
troit, Mimi.

shock to his relatives and old friends
throughout the county. He came to

Winneshiek County Breeders Sell
Thirty-five Head to Western
Man.

One of the largest sales of full
blood cattle ever made in Winneshiek
county was consummated last week
when R. NJ. Miller, John Milne and
Fred ]. Donald all residing in Burr
Oak township, sold to Rainey broth
ers of Glendive, Mont, twenty-four
Aberdeen Angus cows and bulls from
their herds at an average price of
over 1857, the total being $3,775.
Eleven of the cows had calves at

Milne and Donald are farmer breed
ers and neighbors, and their herds
contain some of the best type of
the Aberdeen Angus. Messrs Rain
ey are just starting full blood herd
on lands near Glendive. Thirty years
ago Winneshiek county was the cen
ter of much activity in cattle breed
ing, but there are now more full
blood animals owned here than at
any time in the past.
