GOLD-C0IN SCALES A RELIC
Missouri Man Has Device That Was
in Daily Use in That State
= Many Years Ago

| gold-coin scales of the type so use
| full to merchants in the middle of the
nineteenth century is one of the relics
kept by jeff Davis of Boonville. Mod
ern methods of exchange have rem
dered the scales useless but it is in as
good condition as it was when his
grandfather used it at Cole Neck sixty
years ago.
AT the time r. y. Brereton set up his
little store at Cole Neck, just half
mile north of what is now Clifton City,
the pioneers We're crossing the plains
in search for gold. Gold sweating"
was common. Particles of gold dust
were removed from the coin so that
its value rather than its appearance
suffered. The merchant had TO he con-
stantly on the lockout for underweight
coins when dealing with such q class
of trade.
A pair of scales was bought by Mr..
BreretoR for this purpose. A brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales. |
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, S., !
so and 500 coins. Coins failing to fit |
exactly In their respective slots were
ejected.-Boonville (AIo) Republican. |

Paradise.

There is nothing that is nearer to
you than heaven. Paradise and hell.
into which of them are you inclined,
and to which of them you tend to
walk, to that in this lifetime you are
most near. You are between both ;
and there is birth between each OF
them. You stand In this world be-
tween both the gates, and you have
both the births in you. God beckons
to you in one gate, and calls you; the
devil beckons you in the other gate
and calls you; with whom you go, with
him you enter In. The devil has
in his hand power, honor, pleasure and
worldly JOY. On the contrary, God
has in his hand crosses, persecution,
misery. poverty and sorrow; but in the
root of these is fire; in the fire there
is light, and In the light the virtue.
and in the virtue the paradise.-Jacob
Boehme.

And he was gone, running swiftly
through the long hall, his words
floating back across his shoulder, the
heavy boots Of Gaucho and Esteban
pounding just behind him.
Door after door he flung open as
he raced on through the darkness,
waiting for no candle. He came at
last to the broad stairway leading up
to Teresa's rooms, Gaucho and Este
ban at his heels.
