u Tel me whether there were any 1904
Silver dollars minted? j. l.. C.
A According to the annual report of the
director Of the mint there were 321 silver
dollars minted bearing the date of 1904. Con-
tlicting stories are current respecting this
celebrated dollar. One, that the entire COIN
age was aboard vessel which sunk in the
Mediterranean Sea and the cargo lost Anoth-
er, doubt that any dollars were struck DUR
ing this year, the belief being that dollars
bearing this date were struck years after,
hence those in existence are "restrikes." An
other disposes of the question by stating "all
are restrikes or frauds" 1t is generally be-
lieved that not more than dozen genuine
'restrikes' are in existence. The dies were
destroyed in 1869. The first known specimen
was sold in Philadelphia, 1907, for $50, 500

QUIPS AND 1QUIDDITIEs

Bert Swor, the minstrel man, uses real life
incidents for the material OF his monologue
acts. He gathers them up in the south dur
ing his vacations and repeats them on the
stage in the theatrical season.
Here is one which he tells in black-face
with great effect. He swears it really hap
pened in small Texas town.
1t seems colored girl was entertaining a
gentleman friend when another sutton for her
favor appeared at the locked front door and
demanded admittance. There was jealousy
in his manner and anger in his voice. Also,
there was a justifable suspicion on the part
of the occupants of the house that he might
be toting a razor. Anyhow, the newcomer
had a reputation for behaving violently at
times. His rival within doors was of a more
pacific turn of mind.
Gal" he said to his hostess, 81 amt

nor do you need to stay up late every night
And though you may crave the society of
other people, let me remind you that being
with people constantly may itself become a
potent cause of nervous fatigue. Give your
self at least three Or four-preferably more
evenings every week in the quiet of your
family.
If you do not have a family life, learn to
be good company for yourself with the aid
of books, music, the enjoyment of art, nature
study and other auxiliaries for the develop
ing of inner resources. This will profit you
in more ways than one.
Certainly it is not normal to feel as you
do now. 1t is, in fact danger signal warn

is observation-disclosures you yourself know
best as to that-act on the warning in time

Prospects Bright for
State Baseball League
for Coming Summer

Augustus representatives returned
today from Lewiston greatly pleased
with the interest exhibited in the
Maine State League at the meeting
of representatives Of a number of
towns held there Monday night.
Among the Augusta men present
were William B. Williamson. presi-
dent of the Augusta club; r. f.
Became, vice president and secretary;
Blaine S. Viles, chairman Of the exc
cutive committee; William Condor,
Frank Condor, George S. Williams,
Dr. w. G. Thomas and Manager Ben
Houscr.
While no definite action was taken
at this meeting, representatives OF
four cities. Augusta, Portland, Lewis
ton and DiXfield came out strong for
the league. Representatives from
Pennington. Norway and Livermore
Falls just came to hear the plan
talked over and were to return to
their towns to put the matter before
the fans for final decision. 1t was
also understood that Auburn, Water
vile and, Lisbon Falls. We're inter-
ested but were not represented.
Solomon however. is willing to take
on the Waterville franchise il suit
able grounds can be secured and the
local fans are to have a meeting
there this week. The final decision
as to whether the league will have
six or eight teams will be made at
the meeting to be held at the Lewis
ton City hall next Tuesday evening
and it is hoped that at that time the
matter will go through.
The increased expense account was
objected to by some Of the smaller
towns but league proponents argued
that four games a week instead Of
two would care for this matter and
also proposed percentage basis fav-
Orable for visiting teams so that the
bigger towns could assist the small
Ell towns. a twelve week schedule
with the season split into two parts
with n Maine world series at the end,
also was suggested while a salary
limit also met with approval al
though no definite figure was agreed
on.
The transportation problem was
not touched upon as the managers
decided it would be best to ascertain
just what teams would be in the lea-
que before any plans We're made and
this is admittedly one of the big
questions to be settled, but the COM
pactness' Of the league does not make
it an insurmountable obstacle.
The sentiment locally is all in fav-
or Of league as it is felt that with
a regular schedule. better baseball
will be possible and the fans will
know the calibre Of ball that they
will witness. One of the biggest
problems of the local committee and
Manager Houser last year was to
judge the calibre of the teams from
the Bay state from press notices and
the like. so that many uninteresting.

Move to Further
Winter Sports Under
Way at Colleges

\ movement is under way among
the four Maine colleges to form an
organization for furthering winter
sports. and to hold a convention of
representatives of all the Maine
colleges to decide on the winter car
nivals to be held in the state an
nually for the purpose of bringing
together in competition representa-
tives from each college.
In the last few years winter
sports among the college students
in the State have steadily gained in
tcrest and during the past winter
tie collcgians took to winter sports
more than ever. At the open car
nivals in Watcrville and Augusta,

We're on hand and both affairs prov
i ed to be successful.
! Maine it is said has long and hard
winters with plenty of snow and it
I is the ideal state for winter sports
why the natural facilities should not
| be appreciated and utilized. Since
| the feeling is more or less mutual
| that winter sports should be raised
to 4 higher level among the colleges
thre is little doubt that the project
will be successful.
At tho meeting tho representa-
tives will discuss plans for the stag
| ing of two carnivals every winter
| at which the four colleges will b
, fully represented. The different
events that constitute 4 carnival will
be discussed and the most popular
ones will he taken and put into the
program of these proposed carni-
walls. Eligibility rules will be dis
cusscd and rules for the measuring
of the distances of ski jumping will
be fOstered. The project looms big
and should plans mature quickly and

recognition not only to winter
, sports but to the colleges that will
