Silver Half-Dimes in 1872

The first coins struck at the Unit
ed States mint were silver half
dismes of 1892, which, Detroit Coin
club authority says, Washington
mentions in an address to congress
as follows: There has been small
beginning in the coinage Of half
idismes; the want of small coins in
circulation calling the first attention
to them" Bullion was scarce and it
is said that some of Martha Wash
ington's silver plate went into the
making of these pieces. In 1874 the
word "disme'' was shortened to
dime" which appears on many Of
the later issues.

About the Quail

In the South the quail is known
as the partridge which it isn't
and, in most of the South quail
are referred to simply as birds"
when you hear a man talk
about birds in that territory he isn't
referring to birds in general {.
just to quail the bobwhite quail
is the only bird that whistles the
characteristic bobwhite call :.
and it is the minated cock that
makes this particular note.

of the malicious mistreatment of Mrs.
George Hall of .2318 fourth Avenue
South by southern rail road con-
ductor who forced Mrs Hall to ride
in a baggage coach in spite of the
fact that she had been sold first class

charge of the case, was informed by
George Hall, husband of the abused
woman, that one of the chief witnesses
of the case will be the son of her EN-

was with Mrs. Hall when she bought
the ticket and who, by the way, ex-
amined the through ticket thoroughly
at time of purchase. Returning by
way of Philadelphia and New York,
Mrs. Hall is expected home next week.

on their knowledge of God, his word,

called, but few are chosen. Once it
was thought that Sunday School teach

that one required no preparation. Its
thesis is that the institution once serv-

to discard it, for it is no longer an as

But with a trained staff, wonderful

KATE OF NEW OR
LEANS FOE OF HOODooS.
SUCCUMBS

New Orleons, (ANP) = Mother
Kate. who moved up from washerwo-
man to prophecies because "a voice
came to her" stopped getting mes
sages from the air last week, and
through all of darker New Orleans
flew the word.
AS it must to all seeresses, and to
all washerwomen, death came to the
barefoot ruler of New Orleans bare
foot "cult" of St. Michaels." Strick-
en- Sunday as she was singing at the
head of one of her congregations, Kate
Wilson Francis died at Charity hospl-
tai, a self-made queen at A.
Nearly two decades ago, Mother
Kate heard something and deserted
the tubs. 1t said work for the Lord
and take off your shoes" at the same
time, and Mother Kate did both. In
time she thrived, put gold crown on
her head, drew dozens of assistants,
mt crowns on % of them, and sent
them out to set up temples of their
own.
Finally, her clientele grew SO thick
that even her husband, Louis FRANCIS,
was able to give up. his street paving
lob and devote all his time to operat-
ing the organization.
Mother Kate heard spirit messages,
oave cures, talked religion" and
fought hoodoos, especially fought hoo
doc. Once says the story, She direct
ed a women to look under her porch,
and the woman found devil there,
4 little baby devil, as big as your list,
that looked like snail. Mother" put
It in bottle and displayed 1t to her
followers, as an example of the scourg-
es she was able to overcome.
She organized big barefoot parades
every July, and at the head OF the
march she walked up and down Ram
part street, Louisiana avenue, and
other big street showing the strength
of her cult
She led prayers for city and state,
for Huey Long, for Mayor Walmsley'
fer all authorities. Legend among her
followers is that Huey once was SO
impressed with word of her work that
he planned to give her a big church
but he was shot the next week.
Up at 2431 St. Anthony, Mother
Kate settled recently as her latest stop
in a series of transfers from one neigh
borhood to the other. There she gath
cred her aides and carried on as be-
fore, till Sunday night when she sui
fered a stroke and had to be taken
from her temple.
Her followers didn't have much
trouble picking the outfit for Mother
Kate's laying away. She had red sa-
teen ones, green ones, white ones; but
best of all, she liked the pink-gold
one, that matched her crown. And
she'll go to the grave wearing both.

1889 BOYS LIFE WEEK

"In this year of 1889, the greatest
single influence over the mind of man
is still the printed word,' declares Dr.
James E. West, Chief Scout Executive
, of the Boy Scouts of America and
Editor of Boys Life, in rallying the
more than 100000 adult Scout leaders
of the country to the extension of the
reading program of the Boy Scout
Movement. These men, the largest
group Of volunteer workers with boys
ever enlisted in the support of any
social program, will in turn, as part of
Boys Life Week, from December 10
10, urge parents to support the effort
to provide good books and magazines
for their children
II have always felt it to be the duty
of our Movement, "Dr West added
in his message to Scout leaders, ito
give the boys of America the vital fac
tors for character growth and citizen
ship training that can be conveyed
through the printed page. 1t is my
personal conviction that reading is an
essential factor in the leisure time of
almost all boys. Wholesale reading
does, in a very definite and practical
fashion, supplement the idealisms of
the Boy Scout program.
DIR. West also recalled that the Boy
Scouts of America has always been an
active worker with other agencies and
groups promoting better reading for
boys and has demonstrated that its
books and Boys Life magazine have
long been a vital force for good, for
enjoyment and for the kind of infor-
nation every American boy should
have. In addition to being the pub
fishers of Boys Life and several other
periodicals designed to help Scout lead
ers the Boy Scouts of America has
produced technical library of pam
phlets in more than hundred hobby
and vocational fields and as many more
pamphlets and books. The now fam
Gus Handbook for Boys" has sold
more than six million copies and is
regarded by many people a standard
reference book in its field.
Librarians throughout the country
report that boys of Scout age read
more during that period than at any
other time of their lives. The average
boy will often read, one, two ore even
three books week if he can secure
them, in addition to all the magazines
he likes best. Scientific tests have
shown that Boys Life occupies
unique position in the publishing world
Less than year ago group of inde-
pendent and impartial investigators
addressed an interest inventory ques-
tionnaire to 100000 boys and girls.
The 24,67l boys who replied to the
question, what magazine do you like
best?" voted Boys Life as their first
preference in the boys magazine field,
which reveals, it seems, that the Boy
Scouts of America knows from ex-
Derience how to create reading mater
al that captures the imaginations and
holds the interest of its tremendous
.eader audience.
