No Change In Domestic Gold.

While the controversy ragged, the ad-

prevailing price Of domestic gold Of

that the monetary issue was not one
THE gold dollar is the most dis
honest dollar ever created, except alb

said. THE farmer is just as much

His formal statement was a direct

THE thing that holds the people to
the President Is the belief that he
deeply desires to lift them out of their
desperate troubles. The people will
naturally ask those who object to the
Presidents monetary system, What

dents program"
Borah said neither Smith. Sprague
nor Warburg offered anything but a
return to gold. and he did not believe
that would suffice.

read Mr.. Sprague's statement that he
never had an opportunity to tell the

at the age of five. After several years
in vaudeville she made her Broadway
debut in the "Follies Bergere," then
played in "A la Broadway" "Vera
Violetta" and "A Winsome Widow"
After these successes she returned to
vaudeville for five years, specializing
in limitations Of George M. Conan and

In Which Pat Has Desperate Adven-

Soon after she left the wagon that
night, the high-born. disguised beauty
was to feel the spirit Of old Mother
Enslow guiding and protecting her.
The apple woman had done much for
the comfort of the rough, hard-minded
men in both armies Her gifts and
prayers had smoothed her way and
made host of friends who trusted
her She carried no tales coming or
going. The harmless. kindly woman
was unique figure on the lines.
The regiments defending Roxbury
neck had been reviewed that after.
noon by General Howe, who had sue.

Men were returning from town to the
camp in varying stages OF intoxica

the look, dress and name of Mother
Enslow gave her ample protection.
One Of the men walked with her to
the gate OF the Shlpman house. He
left her and she was admitted to the
mansion. She told Mrs Shipman Of
