Napoleon's Coin Trick

TT is said that thousands Of five franc
pieces are split into halves by their
French owners every year in the hope OF
discovering an immense hidden treasure.
This treasure, according to the legend
firmly believed, IS an order to pay the
holder one hundred thousand francs in
silver five franc coins.
When Napoleon first set the five franc
piece in circulation it was very difficult
to induce Frcnehman to receive the new
coin. Hence, according TO the story,
Napoleon gave it to be understood that he
had ordered check for one hundred
thousand francs, written upon asbestos
paper, to be concealed in one Of the new
silver pieces.
From that day to this no one has
objected to the five franc piece. .a

DEAR MOTHER: I wish I could make
this long drawn out letter and tell things
in order as they happen, for it would be
worth reading, worth printing and franz
ing and hanging on the parlor wall. But
we're filling up again, temporarily, time
is fleeing and I've got to be content with
just giving you the facts.

from his, Spink's, division, his regiment,
but his very company!
From then on I could barely ask ques-
tons fast enough-nearly dropped band
ages and dressings all over the floor,
.iabbed crafty at wounds, &C., but pa
tients, doctors and all merely laughed at
me-all sympathy-and that blessed Com
pany man (only one after ally assured
me that Lieut.. Ludlum was o. X. that

in fact, all the Thirty-ninth boys got yards
of stories about long, hard days of action,
but glorious accomplishments, also the in
formation that all the men were very fond
of our Nanny boy Il didn't ask 'em, either
it was unsolicited information). This
morning was put into another camp,
but the record boy in the receiving camp
told me of the arrival of another man who
knew my brother, and got still later re-
port that he was o. X.

but welcome none the less, came letter
from Spinky boy himself, dated July 80.

Some Things About Upper Valley Names and Other Things

THE candidacy Of o. A Larrazola for
1 governor Of New Mexico was the
subject under discussion and It re-
minded Jos. U. Sweeney of the old
days when Larrazola was in politics
IN FL Paso county.
About that time" said the ex-
mayor. u. C. Jones was a candidate
for some office and they nominated
in those days in conventions. Jones
had a bunch Of men from his precinct
instructed for him and they were all
Mexicans. They had five votes and
had been instructed to vote as a unit
Every time a vote was called for, the
chairman OF this delegation would bob
up with 'Cinco por Jones' This hap
pened so often that the gang dubbed
him 'Cinco por Jones' and later they
corrupted it into Cincofer Jones and
he IS now konwn by everybody by
that name"
Mr.. Jones is now a resident OF Ala

This recalls a story Of how Cham

not vouched for as absolutely anthem

true.
Berino is on the east bank OF the
Rio Grande and is an old town. Some
land owners attempted to establish a

sprang up and the people at old Be

Everywhere, employers are show

appeal Of the federal director of the
United States employment service, the
management Of the Menger hotel has
leased the negro men walters Of that
famous hosiery and their places have
been taken by 20 young women.
The men have volunteered for
work in munition plants where sub
stantial employment was obtained for
them by the government. They have
thus become an important contribut-

Both the management and patrons
OF the Menger express satisfaction
with the innovation, and II is expected
that all the hotels Of the nation will
adopt similar war winning measures"

Roundabout Town
By G. A. nARTIN.

! It IS said, the name Chamberino was
adopted by the people for the name OF
the west side town, and the postoffice
department permitted it to be 50
named officially.
Up the valley a little above Cham
berino is the old town OF san Miguel
The town is still known by its old
name, but the postoffice is Telles-
This is said TO have resulted through
rivalry between two factions. the new
arrivals wishing to honor one OF their
fellow citizens by calling the place
Telles and the old faction wishing to
keep the historic name that the vii
lage had borne for 100 years or more.
The men in the new faction won and
got the postOffice named Telles, but
the other citizens refused to call the
town BIZ that name
Another version is-and Il probably
IS correct-that there was then an
other san Miguel in New Mexico.
hence when it came to naming the
postoffice. the citizens had TO furnish
some name other than san Miguel and
decided upon Telles, but continued to
cling to the old name for their settle
