 The story was that the govern n1ent, fearing that French stocks of platinum would fall into German hands in the early days of the war, hid the precious metal by mixing it with the nickel in the five sou pieces.
 The government said there was as much truth in the report as in the story that Lincoln pennies in America had great value if certain initials were on htem. But many Frenchmen are playing safe and hoarding all the five sou coins they can garner.

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

modern men will be a sex of pink-and-whites, not worth a great deal measured by the standards of two or three, CT more generations ago.
 Another fear of the worthy director is that even if his warning is taken as seriously as he seems to view it, at lea1t century will be needed to bring the physical improve ment he has in mind. He ex- plains that the men of today live more years than their grandfathers only because they have been given extraordinary protection by science, and that the same means it the force which will pamper until the human race will not be able to take care of itself.
 To our way of thinking the good man is probably giving himself unnecessary alarm ov- CT the future of the races. Xvi dences that the modern man has become a ''soft," pink and White' 'effeminate are not so widely distributed that every one who runs may see, and in- terpret them as does the med ical director. In fact the re- verse may be claimed. On the strictly physical score the uY,. to-date race asks no odds of it's ancestry. The world has more strong men than ever and not even the classical periods knew such lists of women and girl athletes in all branches of physical excellence. The man of today not only lives longer, thanks to science, but lives bet ter, more happily, can hit hard CT, run faster, swim farther, and when at work can turn out more than the producer of any age in human history.

A LESSON IN HOPE AND
 FAITH. (From the Seattle Star.)

On a spring day in 1886 a bearded man drove a pack mule through the northern Id- aho hills and not far from the present city of Wallace, staked a claim. This claim he called the Golden Winnie.
 On the claim Emanuel Smith, who had been born in Californ- ia in 1887, built his cabin and went to work. Every few weeks he and the old mule tramped down to the settlement, bought bacon, beans and powder, and climbed back up the green hills to the Winnie.
 So the years passed-with the hope of sudden riches a will O the wisp, always just ahead. Emanuels head grayed and the furrows lined his face. But he kept on, winning a few chunks of ore-enough to keep body and soul together.
 For forty-three years Eman- uel Smith hoped. And he died the other day, in Wallace, still hoping.
 "A wasted life," many will say. We don't think so. It was, on the whole, a happy life. How many of us have the pat fence to keep hoping, and working, for forty-three years always denied fortune, always believing that the tickle dame may be waiting just around the corner.
 Emanuel Smith didn't fail. He hoped, he worked, he was happy. No one can do more.
