Congress Is to Give Us Pretty New Coin

IF THERE is anything that the direc-
j tor of the United States mint Just
naturally despises, it's new coins.
Therefore he's pessimistic these days.
For congress has told him to mint
three special half-dollars commemor-
ating the 'tercentenary of the Pilgrims
and the centenary of the states of
Alabama and Maine.
Moreover congress is considering or
dering a 2-cent or 21s-cent coin bear
ing a medallion of Theodore Roose-
welt, as urged by the Women's Roose-
Welt Memorial association. Then
there's Senator Frelinghuysen's bill
proposing the coinage of 7-cent and g.
cent pieces.
The United States has never been
strong for new coins. In 1892 congress
authorized the following coins for cir
culation: the eagle (S1O), half eagle
(s5y, quarter eagle $3.50, the dollar,
the "disme" Gold spelling for dime),
half disme 6 cents), the cent and the
half cent.
Double eagles came into being in
1S49, the year of the gold rush to Cal
ifornia. In 1851 new coin, the 3-cent

LEARNED LESSON OF THRIFT
Boys and Girls of New Jersey Town
Have Made Record of Which
They Are Proud.

If there has been less talk of the
servant problem in Bridgeton, New
Jersey, than elsewhere, it is quite ex-
plainable.S Not to be outdone by their
European sisters and brothers In mat
tiers of thrift and industry, % young
sters in that town have invested 81 900
in United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their own hard work.
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities Of doing remunerative
dishwashing, sweeping, busting, store
clerking, baby-minding. errand-run-
ming, etc., with the goal Of economy
symbolized by government stamps
ahead Of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds, carry
ing coal, sitting ashes, selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavements,
and some have even won prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money it Is
doubtful whether these boys will again
find the street corner, a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
porch chatter.

WASHINGTON Congress has pass
w ed bill Oh. r. 9944) which ap-
pears to have raised commotion all
along the Tine from the hard-boiled
post office Inspector who sized up the
property to the vice president In the
senate who said, passed with thanks"
You see, the bill was to give some
thing to the government, instead of to
get something out of the treasury. So,
naturally, everyone in both houses was
suspicious of it-until it was read SUBJ
stantially as follows:
Be it enacted, etc., That the Secre-
tary of the Treasury be, and-he is
hereby, authorized and directed to ac-
cept on behalf of the United States the
donation by Sedgwick Post, No. TO-

SIDELIGHTS
Congress Passes a Most Surprising

Taylor County, Iowa, for Federal build
ing purposes.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized to permit said post and
the Sedgwick Post Women's Relief
Corps, No. 50, to continue to occupy
the second floor of said building until
such time as said post dissolyes; such
occupancy to be without charge for
rent, water heat, or light, which are
to be included in such free use.
And that a suitable bronze tablet
commemorative of this gift shall be
furnished and placed on the exterior
of said building at the expense of the
United States.
In the house an eloquent little tribute
to the old soldiers by Mann of Illinois
was received with applause, and the
members decided to show that the vote
was unanimous.
In the senate it was pronounced
wonderful bill-for the same reason
that had impressed the house. 1t was
passed by unanimous consent.
Once Sedgwick Post, No. 10, G. A.
r., had about 500 members. Now it's
membership has dwindled to %. Soon
the post will have no more need for
It's hall. The last roll will be called
with none to answer "Here."

P. Henry, A. Lincoln and Several Senator's

Things looked dark until Senator
Brandegee, replying to the Swanson
ultimatum, said that Patrick Henry
had merely been taken down to have
his face washed and would be mt
right back in his place again. Mean
while the Lincoln portrait would hang
in the place while the artist could give
1t some finishing touches.
Thus war was averted.
Probably the coming Of spring and
the increase Of senatorial pep was re-
sponsible. Anyway, spring has ar
rived In Washington.
1t arrived in the senate chamber
when Senator Thomas of Colorado
came In without his toupee. That is
the official signal to the senate of the
changing season. The Colorado sen.
ator came In at two minutes past
twelve o'clock. At four minutes past
twelve Senator Thomas sneezed vio-
lently. which caused some Of his col
leagues to lose faith in his ability to
tell when spring Is really here. How
ever. there was no second sneeze and
spring is officially doing business at
the cid stand.

MOURN OVER LOST CHANCES
Few Who Do Not Claim to Have Had
Great Opportunities, and
Lost Them.

In an article in Peoples Magazine
Hugh S. Fullerton tells of millions of
dollars worth of ideas running to
waste.
I'D rather have the idea failed to
follow up than the ones made my
money out off,
That was said to me by a man who
ranks among the wealthiest In the
country and who is credited, among
his associates, with almost supernat-
ural wisdom in evolving ideas and see
ing their possibilities.
every man had one or more big
chances to get to the top" he contin-
ued "If you don't believe that, just
get into any crowd of men, tell some
yarn of an opportunity that you had,
and overlooked, and then listen to
them. Chances are every one Of them
will have better story of lost Oppor-
tunity than you told, and nine out Of
ten Of them will tell wonderful story
of how some other man stole their
great ideas and got rich or famous
from them. Examine into these stories
and you will find, in the majority Of
cases, that the man who claims to have
originated the idea did not do 1t at
all, that he did not see the possibili-
ties of it, or that, even if he did, he
was not smart enough or lacked the
initiative to follow it up.
There are more chances for men to
get rich now than there ever were be-
fore in the history of the. world, and
more big chances being overlooked.
Whether it is because men lack faith
in themselves or because they prefer
a humming bird in the hand to an
eagle in the air, 1 don't know. They
seem to think man must be super
genius or great inventor"
1 reminded him that he had rep
utation as an originator, as an invent
or and genius, in addition to being
successful organizer.
Bunk he asserted. 81 do not
claim to have originated anything My
success has been due to seeing the pos
sibilities of an idea and working out

piece, three-quarter silver AMI one
quarter copper, was introduced, and
two years later the three-doilar gold
piece came into being. In 1857 the
half cent was dropped, but another
piece, the two-cent coin, was minted
In 1864.
The nickel came into being in 1866.
Congress in 1876 overhauled the entire
coinage system and decided upon the
following coins: all the gold coins
as they. now stand, dollar, half dol
lar, quarter and dime in silver and the
minor coins, including the five, three
and one-cent pieces. Since then the
three-cent piece has been discarded.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
Ii the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

NOBLE RELICS OF THE PAST
'Triumphal Arch of Titus, at Rome,
and the Colosseum, Are Splendid
in Their KUHN.

The triumphal arch of Titus in
Rome was built in 20 A. D., to COM
memorate the defeat of the Jews, and
was dedicated to the Emperor Titus
after his death. 1t is adorned with fine
sculptures In relief. On the frieze out
side is a sacrificial procession and on
the inner side Titus is seen crowned
by Victory in quadriga driven by
Roma. On another part Of the arch is
q triumphal procession Of Jews, the
Table of Shew Bread ard the seven
branched candlestiek. In the center
of the vdulting the consecrated emper-
or Is seen being carried to heaven by
an eagle.
In 1882 the arch was a set of ruins,
and some of the medieval additions
were removed and it was partly recon-
structed. The colosseum, with seats
for 10000 spectators, originally called
the Flavian amphitheater, was COM
pleted by Titus in the year 80 A. D.,
and derives its later name, probably,
from colossal statue of Nero. The
colosseum is now all in ruins.

Mr.. Britten: To say that refund
of duties paid on rolling field kitchens,
which contributed to the army, would
be establishing dangerous precedent,
is beyond my comprehension. The
failure of the house to pass this bill
will mean direct taxation on public
spirit, direct taxation on patriotism,
direct taxation on humanity.
Mr.. Cannon: There was a duty on
wool. God knows how the women
knit God knows how they bought
and paid for the wool to knit. This
establishes precedent that we ought
not to establish, and therefore I OBJ
