RECALLSOLD ROME
Ancient Coin of Surprising His
toric Interest.
Two Thousand Years Since 1t Came
From the Mint, What Story of
Adventures This Token
Could Tell!

A coin 1000 years old, which may
have reposed in the treasure box of
Roman senator, passed from hand
to hand in the dice games of members
Of the Roman imperial guard, been
tossed to the rabble by a patrician as
he passed through the streets on his
way to the baths, or thrown to a
victorious gladiator by one of the YES
tai virgins, now is in the possession
of Arthur S. Hibler, United States i'm
migrant inspector at New Orleans. On
it's way to Mexico, where it was OBJ
tanned by it's present owner, the coin
may have been carried as a keepsake
by one Of the Spanish conquerors and
exchanged for the gold and jewels
Of the Aztecs. Two thousand years
afford ample time to pass through a
few adventures.
The coin is valued by Mr.. Hibler,
not only for it's age. but for the queer
history attached to his gaining pos
session of it. While he claims he is
not superstitious, he admits he regards

piece was sold to him by a Mexican,
who wished to cross the border at
Brownsville, Tex, and had not enough
money for his toll. To pay his way
across the international bridge he Of
fered the coin with several others to
Mr.. Hibler, asserting that it had a
strange significance and blessing at
tached to it. It had been given him,
he said, by the mother of member
of Villas band, who had been MUIR
dered in a cafe brawl. AS he lay dy-
ing, he had begged the man to take
a handkerchief, stained with his life
blood, to his mother. The Mexican
had sworn to fulfill the trust, and
delivered the handkerchief to the old
woman. She opened the corner Of the
handkerchief, which was. knotted
tightly, and took out several coins.
Then she retired into an inner room
and, returned, placed a small silvery
disk in the messengers hand, saying
it was a, talisman that would mean
much to it's possessor.
The coin is small and white, re-
sembling a modern United States dime
in size and color. On its front is a
relief Of a Roman emperor, with the
inscription: "Domitian VIII, Imp.
Caesar" and several other characters
which are indistinguishable. On the
reverse side is what seems to be re-
production of the temple erected in
Jerusalem by Solomon. 1t is worn
thin by the touch Of the millions Of
hands in which it must have rested.
ST have no doubt that it is genuine" ,"
Mr.. Hibler said. "But how did it
come into the possession of the Viii
lista bandit? Well-quien sabe?"

German Black List In Peru.

Publications in Peru do not believe
in soon forgetting the intrigue Of Ger
many or letting the Hun go unpun-
ished. Newspapers there carry a COM
plete list Of merchants who showed
anything like a friendly disposition~to
Germany throughout the war. 1t is
known as the "Official Allied Black
List" The boycott Of these mer-
chants includes trade with any of: the
employees Of the FIRMS. The notice
at the top of the list includes this
warning:
"Any transaction with an en-
ployee of a firm on this. list is
naturally the same as transac-s

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3-Beware
farmers, orchardists, vacation-seekers!
June is to be a greatly disturbed
month.
At least two storm periods are des-
tined to result from sunspots created
by the immutable passage of the
planets through space.
The largest of these will create a
storm so important that 1t should
sweep the United States from end to
end. I foresee floods and hail storms
throughout the Mississippi valley, tor
nadoes in Arkansas and Texas, heavy
winds and rainfall along the Great
Lakes. stormy weather all along the
Atlantic coast and gales, rough seas
and rain along the Pacific.
These events are scheduled for June
IS to "a. depending on the section Of
the country.
The ultimate cause is the conjunc-
ton of Mercury with Jupiter-the
planet of greatest electromagnetic en-
energy, set for June IL. According to
laws which I have been the first to
formulate, this conjunction will pro-
duce sunspots OF the largest power
and size.
A somewhat less marked stormy
period win follow June s, on which
date occur one of the rarest of PLAN
etary events-the opposition of IRA
nus and Saturn. This occurs only
about every 40 years. These huge
planets, the most remote outlying
bodies OF the solar system. are abun-
dant producers of energy and the sun

 The only time man should tell his troubles is when he does it to prevent the other fellow from tel, ing his troubles. Love is queer stuff Even if all engaged couple quarrel every day they know they will never quarrel after they get married. A man will ask you for a candid opinion of himself, and then want tc fight when you give it to him. One hypocrite can cause more trou. ble on earth than dozen common ordinary sinners Many a girl uses paint because she hasn't the cheek to do without it.

Good Days Ahead For Petersburg
Petersburg RepOrt)

Petersburg Report
 With reports increased activities for every line in the Petersburg section looks if the of Petersburg and vicinity will experience the most prosperous year in it's history next season Students of economic conditions who have watched the town and it's industries for all predict an unprece- dented year of activity and work for 1920
 Principal among the new industries is the saw mill of the Arness Lumber Company Next summer it will employ about 100 men in the mill and log of S0,000 feet of lumber per day for the season Financial arrangements have been concluded mak- ing this concern stable proposition ana one on which the town can absolutely depend from this time forward. New donkey engines will be added to their equipment as will also new tow boat It is also planned to erect number Of modern apart ment houses for the of married men who are expected to north to accept employment with the company.
 With the passage of the Petersburg Bonding Bill, which has already passed Congress the town itself will be spending approximately $75 in labor and material costs A large hydro-electrc plant will be installed and new school house constructed both of which mean big additional pay roll for the city.
 The announcement that additional mail route will be established from Petersburg to Ketchikan, and that the West Coast will incorporate Peters burg of its stops means much to this city. Thousands of dollars will be brought to the town which heretofore have gone elsewhere, and new ac- tivities and industries will be the ultimate result of these changes
 Announcement has also been made that new industry will be added in the form of shrimp can ming plants The shrimp have heretofore been put up in ive-pound cans only, but now additional ma chinery is to be added and the shrimp will be put up in small to compete with the canned shrimp of the Gulf coast This will mean additional out put and large addition to the pay roll.
 While the past has been bad as far the salmon fishing industry is concerned, there is every believe that next year will be the and that all canneries will be worked to capacity, which means additional dollars.
 Work will undoubtedly be continued the Scow Bay-Petersburg road, meaning good size pay roll.
 Work will be started within short time on d cold storage plant at Scow Bay by the Alaska Fish and Cold Storage Company and another will be built in Petersburg soon the town sup ply power from their new plant. This means much to the city fishermen who now forced to seek other markets with their fish account of infre- quen boat service, will be able to market their catch without trouble and the long additional run to other ports
 Taken whole the future of Petersburg looked bright as at present and those who in business here will make no mistake in preparing take advantage Of the trade openings which will be offered them within short time
