Value of Old Coins.

In the public mind coin more
than so years old is hoary with age
and so rare as to be almost priceless,
but a silver dollar of 1875 is actually
worth no more than So to dealers, and
then only if it is in an excellent
state of preservation, for great many
of them were coined. A half dollar of
1903 is worth as much as Is cents
more than it's face value, but coliec-
tors and dealers find that there are so
many of them in circulation that there
is no profit in buying and selling
them. In fact, a person might have
a hundred United States coins of diff
ferent denominations and dates, no
two alike, but all more than 100 years
old, which would be worth to dealer
not over SO above their face value.

A party of United States Marines,
while on a big game hunting expe-

and brought him back to the Capital.

mad because of the privation he had
suffered, fought his rescuers and beg

however, and are now attempting to
nurse him back to health and reason

that the training they will receive on

and they look to see the idea spread
over the entire country.

RULES VIOLATED
DEMOCRATIC POsTMAsTERS ARE
CALLED UPON TO PAY UP PER
CENTAGE OF SALARIES.

The following. letter. written. by
Chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee shows to just what ex-
tent the Democratic party is willing
to go to secure funds to carry on
their campaign.
TO COUNTY CHAIRMAN:
At the instance of the National
Committeeman Poindexter, who con
ferred with the National Campaign
Committee while in New York q few
days ago, I am writing to suggest
that you have a private interview with
the postmasters in your county who
were appointed by the present adj
ministration, in regard to contributing
to the National Democratic Campaign
fund. The names and salaries Of
these appointees are given below.
The National Democratic Executive
Committee is expecting each postmas-
ter, or other federal appointee, to con-
tribute to the National Campaign
Of one years salary. Of course, this
Of one year'ssalary. Of course, this
is not compulsory, but we are advised
that in the event President Wilson is
reelected, there will be q permanent
organization Of our forces through
out the country and a note will be
made Of the loyalty Of those appoin-
tees who contributed, az well as Of the
disloyalty; those who refused to con-
tribute toward the reelection Of the
administration from whom they re-
ceived their appointments.
The civil service law will not per-
nit the writing Of a letter to q post
master, demanding money for cam
paign purposes, nor will it permit any
one to 10 to the post Office and request
q subscription to the campaign. But
you can see the postmaster away from
his place Of business and make such
an appeal to him as you would make
to any other Democrat to contribute
to the National Democratic Campaign
Fund, and can advise him as to what
the National Committee is expecting
of him.
It is hoped that you will proceed
intelligently along these lines and ar
range in a legal way to solicit each
Democratic postmaster, or other APP
pointee Of the present administration,
to contribute to the Wilson campaign
fund, all Of whom should realize that
the interests Of President Wilson in
this race are identical with their own.

He especially regretted that none of the members of the com mission or other officials of the city were present
 MT Johnson said that his attention had first been attracted to the plan more than two years ago by an article in Everybody's magazine describing it. He waited for months for some other description of it in the press but he waited in vain. Finaliy he wrote to the authorities of St Paul, obtained an outline of the plan which had then been in operation with great success for nearly year He has had other correspondence since. showing the growing popularity and success of the plan, notwithstanding assaults that have been made against it.
