It was, therefore, Grass stupidity on the
part Of the world that drove him to the
hunted life of the counterfeiter and the
counterfeiter's inevitable end They never
get away with it. And just to moralize a
bit, permit me to give a bit of gratuitous
advice to any ambitious young men who
contemplate counterfeiting currency.
Simply don't The chances are that you
are no cleverer than the most original and
astute OF your predecessors. They couldn't
quite make the grade. You can't either.
Stick to the old humdrum job. 1t pays in
the long run. And all the romantic things
you've heard about jail have emanated
from the minds Of writer's. You'll find no
romance inside prison. That, my friend,
is as certain as It is that you'll fetch up in
prison II you persist in your determination
to bust the rules and regulations.
Something Wrong With the Coin,
But What Was It?
1t was along about September, 1905, that
being showered by half dollars that never
saw a United States mint. Agent Burke
went out to make preliminary investiga-
tion. He came back with a very remark
able reproduction of fifty cent silver coin.
Its weight was correct The silver was
genuine. As bullion 1t was worth as much
as the legitimate coin. If you looked at 1t
casually or even carefully, IL you were not
on your guard or were not more or less of
an expert In such matters, you would pro.
nounce 1t perfectly good. 1t had the ring,
the sharpness of milling and stamping
in fact, everything.
say everything. That's somewhat too
broad a statement. II you were to take
glass and scrutinize the lettering you would
become impressed with the fact that there
was something queer about 1.-THE letter
ing 1 mean. You would be justified in con
cluding that some other lettering had been
on that coin or that something had been
all but obliterated. And quite right, too
We looked at that coin until our eyes
began playing tricks upon u.s. We took it
to banks and to collectors of coins. We
had it inspected by men whom the Treas
ury Department employs to solve queer
riddles such as this one was. They said
the same thing we had; that there was
something wrong about the coin.
With the coin In our hands we went to
San Francisco. Much time was wasted
thereby. We not only learned nothing ex.
cept that the supply of the coins had
ceased. The coins had passed out of gen.
erai circulation, but we were entirely in
the dark concerning the manufacturer
thereof.
It does not seem to me to come amiss to

for the shock, no matter whence it comes.
can see the announcements Of the new
opera-the Fall of Jericho" or Daniel and
the Lions" score and Ibretto by none
other than Herman Heinze. -Four or five
acts of it, with lots OF tenors and magnifi-
cent orchestral effects. Probably Herman
would have band in the pit instead of an
orchestra. 1t is not improbable that Her
man would sing all the parts himself Her.
man would try anything any number Of
times If not restrained.
Wonder what has become of Herman
since he left Sing Sing! We had fearful
time getting him in there.
Possibly 1t will not be an opera that will
announce Herman Heinze's return. 1t may
be a portable bridge made of aluminium
and long enough and strong enough to take
all the traffic that crosses the East River.
Herman was rather keen about portable
bridges. AS recall it he had bridge
that would even span the Hudson. This
bridge could be moved up and down the
river to suit traffic. If there was great call
for it at Fourteenth street at noon, let's
say, 1t would simply move to Fourteenth
street and mechanically extend itself or
shorten itself to span the river at that
point. AT 2 o'clock the traffic at Chambers
street might be enormous Simple Merely
pull lever and throw in a switch or so
and the Heinze bridge would plow down to
Chambers street and connect the two
shores.
Heinze, Poet, Thinker, &c,
And His Portable Bridge
Herman was a thinker, a poet, roman
ticist II was too much, all this, for one
man. 1t got him into no end OF trouble
II was Hermans airship that fetched his
downfall. The opera and the bridge, as
much as he cherished them as dreams,
could wait. After all, there was limited
audience for OPERA and bridge, by the
same token, was bridge-a common
enough thing. Later on there would be
time for bridges. Let the world struggle
along with its clumsy steel spans. Good
enough for II, at that
II is true that Herman tried to sell his
opera, but the music loving public was at
that time baking at the ultra-modern
school. Strauss was yet to come, but folks
we're preparing for him. One thing at a
time. The public would never stand for
Strauss and Heinze simultaneously. Fancy
the first singing OF "Elektra" with the
Fall of Jericho" being produced in a neigh
boring theater at the same hour, and New
York's police force numbering only 10000,
as II did at the time.
SO the world has never heard Herman
Heinze orchestrated and warbled.

ship on which he will ride to fame once
more. AS ] have said 1t was this very
airsnip that accomplished his ultimate col.
lapse. Somewhere In the archives of the
Treasury Department they may have the
plans of Heinze's Homemade Helicopter.

THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL,

Before this appears in print the delegation from
West Liberty will have made its showing before the Com
mission to decide the location Of the normal school, If
the Commission decides the location according to the fit
ness and the best interests of the people for whom the
school is established West Liberty will get it.
From the statistics, prepared by the State Board Of
Health and the Department of Education West Liberty
has the lowest death rate of any of the conendng towns
Morgan county has the greatest percentage of school at
tendance based upon the census, save the county
of Elliott of any in the State and the two counties had only
difference of two per cent.
The envoirnment that would surround the school here
is the best OF any asking for it. Morgan is the only
county asking for the school that has farming population
with sufficiently fertile lands to support the school in the
way Of producing food stuffs and milk and butter
The county situated in the center of the section for
which the school is intended and West Liberty can be
reached by more people of the various mountain
ties in less time and at less cost than can av other point
asking for the school.
A circle with radius Of 35 miles, with West Liberty
as the CENTER covers practically all the counties in the
group for whom the school is intended. A like circle
with the center at any Of the other towns reaches into
Ohio and West Virginia and Virginia
In all the towns save Morehead the circle would ex-
tend with more than half its into other states.
There is no good reason why the school should not
be located at West Liberty and there scores of good
reasons why should not be located at any of the other
towns asking for it.
the Commission is disposed to consider the matter
as mpartiay as committee of uninterested men, abso-
ute unacquained with the situation and free to decide
without bias, will receive the entire eight votes on
first ballot in the deliberaon Of the Commission and we
are relying upon the Commission acting though they
knew nothing of the situation from the showing made
by the contestants In other words we expecting
fair trial OF our case and know that will get the school
if that is done. The advantages of West Liberty are so
garngy apparent and so decidedly superior to those
OF any Of the other towns asking the school that we are
confident that it will beocated here.
