II should not be necessary at this
time to explain to the public what
the Legion stands for, but there
seems to be some Misunderstanding
as to what the Legion Is. Two re-
marks overheard by Legion mem
ber will serve to ill,Stnte what
some people think we are and what
we are. As a meeting Of the Legion
had just adjourned and the men were
coming out OF the hall. lady was
heard to remark. Here come the Ma
tional Guards" This lady was ar-
parently too absorbed in her own af-
fairs to know what was going on IN
the community. Tho Legion, as has
been repeatedly stated. Is not In any
sense a military organization. II is an
organization OF civilians into great
fraternity based on good citizenship
and patriotism and limited In Its mem
bership to those men and women who
have served the nation In Its military
and naval forces during tho recent
war. It's members wish to serve tho
nation as citizens just as effectively
ms they served 1t AS soldiers. Added
to this is the worthy purpose to see
that tho service man gets Justice
from the country he served.
The other remark ! referred to
above was from the wife Of Le-
zion member. II never saw q bunch

HIGH HONOR FOR SMALL GIRL
Face of Ten-Year-Oid Has Appeared
on Millions of Coins Of the
United States.

The government of the United States
In 1885 made an offer of 81 900 for the
most acceptable design to be placed
upon the new cent coin soon to be
issued. Some Indian chiefs travelled
from the northwest to Washington to
visit the Great Father and then
journeyed to Philadelphia to see the
mint, whose chief engraver was James
Barton Longacre, who invited them to
his home.
The engravers daughter, Sarah,
aged 10. greatly enjoyed the visit Of
her fathers guests and during the eve
ming. to please her. one Of the chiefs
took OF his feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed 1t on her head. In
the company was an artist, who i'm
mediately sketched her and handed the
picture to her father. Mr.. Longacre,
knowing Of the competition for a like
ness to go upon the cent projected.
under the inspiration of the hour. re-
solved to contend for the prize offered
by the government. To his delight the
officials accepted it, and the face Of
his daughter appeared upon the coin,
which was circulated about the nation
for nearly a century. There were
more than hundred competitions.
The cent bearing the face of Sarah
Longncre has gone into more hands
than any other American coin.
