COIN BRANDED 30
YEARS AGO RETURNS

1t is known that patience was de-
scribed as a virtue by the ancients,
but with John Roser of Baraboo it
became a habit. Incidentally, he just
about proved that anything will hap
pen, if one waits long enough.
While clerking for his brother in a
store at Phillips, 80 years ago, Roser
scratched his initials on half dollar
and then placed it in circulation
again. For many years he has scanned
every 50-cent piece that came into
his hands, with the idea of finding
the coin he had marked.
His patience was rewarded at La
Crosse recently, when the coin he had
branded was received by him in
change.

SEEK HISTORY OF OLD GUN
Brass FintIock Pistol Found in Cow
Iitz River 200 Years Old.

At Longview, Wash, a brass flint
working in the Cowlitz river re-
years old, was thrown up by a dredge
in the Cowlitz river at this point re-
Gently, and discovered by A. N. Thorn
dixie. The pistol was in perfect state
of preservation with the exception of
the handle, which was rotted off. The
weapon was untarnished and un-
stained and bore upon one side Lon
don, England, trade mark. On the
other side was a crest, consisting of
crown set above a crossed sword
and gun.
The weapon was sent to a Portland
gunsmith who estimated that it had
been made more than 200 years ago.

where, it is hoped, some clew may
be found as to it's age, the former
owner, and something of the history
surrounding it.

bay considered fabulous. The bay was
explored and the name Shoalwater
bay was restored to the charts by
Lieutenant James Alden, United
States coast survey in 1853. The neg
lect of the bay between the dates men

proved a commercial handicap and
was changed by extending the name
of the river to the bay"

CHAPTER XII.

The trim little maid servant ran up

trembling at the terrible prospect of

time to say, What very ill-behaved
dogl" when a sound of small objects
overthrow in the hall, and a Scurry-

cloth, announced that Tommie had in
vaded the house. AS the servant ap-
peared, introducing Lady Lydiard, the
dog ran in He made a frantic leap
at Isabel, which would certainly have
knocked her down but for the chair
that happened to be standing behind
her Received on her lap, the faithful
creature half smothered her with his
caresses. He barked, he shrieked, in
his JOY at seeing her again He
jumped off her lap and tore around
and around the room at the top of
his speed, and every time he passed
Miss Pink he showed the whole range
of his teeth, and snarled ferociously
at her ankles. Having at last exhaust
ed his superfluous energy, he leaped
back again on Isabel's lap, with his
tongue quivering in his open mouth,
his tail wagging softly, and his eye
on Miss Pink, inquiring how she liked
a dog in her drawing room.
Il hope my dog has not disturbed
YOU. ma'am?" said Lady Lydiard, ad-
vancing from the mat at the door way
on which she had patiently waited
until the raptures of Tommie sub
sided into repose.
Miss Pink, trembling bewteen ter

Lady Lydiard's polite inquiry by
ceremonious bow, and an answer
which administered by implication
dignified reproof. Your ladyships

Miss Pink. ''You are not, perhaps,
