SHORTAGE IN SHIM COIN
lo its September circular the Nation
al City I tank of New Yorlt says:
?'Somewhat contrary to expectations
there is sn early auil strong demand
on the treasury for small bills, particu
larly one dollar silver certificates. The
ability of the department to supply
the latter is about exhausted. These
certificates can only be issued against
free silver dollars held in the general
fund or in exchange for silver certifi
cates or treasury notes of 1390 of the
larger denomination*. The free silver
ha* fallen from *4,013,000 at the be
ginning of August to $7i'?.">,000 at the
end of the moatb. The demand for
the one dollar certificates is probably
due in part to the reviving retail trade
aud crop moving and In part to the
fact that the silver dollar is tio lontfer
transported at the expense of the
government. As express charges
average on the whole $1 per $1,000,
taking shipments at the mints at
Philadelphia and San t rancisco? at
botn extremes into consideration, it
is apparent that the certificates
are likely henceforth to supplant
in favor the actual coin if not
with that portion of the public which
has been aceustotned to the use
of coin, at least with the banks
wh.cb are required to pay transpor
tation charges.
Mr. Morton Krcwen, referred to a*
the "eminent British bi-metalist is
touring Canada trying to form a silver
party in the dominion. This founds
like old times. Rut is it not amusing
to think of an effort on the part of any
boJy trying to make headway with
the silver cause with no word of en -
couragement from the late chief apostle
of that metal? Mr. Cryan is now in the
midst of a politic il campaign backod by
a party and a platform of his own mak
ing and vet there Is never a word utter
ed by the great orator whose speech
was formerly made up of nothing else,
nor is there a line in his platform
touching this question. tie admits
there is nothing to the silver question.
And yet there are still to be foucd in
the w. ild -eminent bi-metalists" who
seriously declare the white metal to
have ir. it a quality that might save the
world. Strange.

BIG JIM JEFFRIES' FATHER
LUES ENTIRELY B? FAITH
While Jim Jeffries has retired from
the prize-ring to the life ofthe sn
loon, his father, the clergyman, keeps
delivering blows at sin. Alexis C.
Jeffries looks like one of the I- Apos
tles and acts like one. He has made
three world tours without a dollar in
his pocket, never taking thought of
tomorrow, but believing that the Lord
will provide. Now he contemplates a
fourth, to war on the sins of ICuropc
particularly.
"Maybe 1 shall not return." he said
when seen at the old Jeffries home
stead here, where his son. the erst
while champion, lives. "You know,
live entirely by faith, take 110 though
of the morrow, go and come as I
please, and trust in tin- Lord to pro
Lord taketh away, so why should I
bother to feed myself?"
Mr. Jeffries' pious words came tin
ously and when lashing tlx* sins and
follies of mankind seems filled with
a yea) like that of St. I'aul. He was
asked if in his travels he found a
perfect man.
"No. no'" he exclaimed vigorous
ly. "here is no such thing ? as yet.
I hope you get my thought. There
is no perfect man ? as yet."
Reminded that he once owned 100
acres within the city limits of Los
Angeles, he said:
"Not a dollar of it Is mine. 1
gave that stuff away and went on my
travels. I live entirely bv faith and
never have been deserted by the
Lord."
He has written a book which he
calls "The Last Message to a Lost
World," which he intends to i ireulate
largely in Europe in the hope that it
will win people from sin. He says
that in order to write it he fasted
i;t days, "because it is by purification
and fasting that all utterances that
will have been inspired."
DOCTOR'S ORDER
For a Bad Case of Eczema on Child
?Suffered for Three Months
Disease Reached a Fearful State
? Pain and Itching were Terrible.
CURED AFTER OTHER
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED
"When I was small I was troubled
?with eczema for about three months. It
was all over rnv face and covered nearly
all of my head. It reached such a state
that it was just a large scab all over,
and the pain and itching were terrible.
1 doctored with an able physician for
some time and was then advised by him
to use the Cutieura Remedies which I
did and I was entirely cured. I have
not been bothered with it since. 1 used
Cutieura Soap and Cutieura Ointment
but do not knew exactly how much was
used to complete the cure. 1 can safely
sav that Cutieura <lid a lot for me. Miss
Anabel Wilson. North Branch, Mich.,
Oct. 20, 1907."
ITCHING CURED
With Cutieura Remedies in
Three Days After Six
Months of Suffering.
"1 suffered fully six months. The
trouble begun on my arms in little
red pimples and it was not long before
it was all over my body, limbs, face,
and hands. It was so bad that 1 could
not re^t night or day ami during the
six months, l did not get a good night's
sleep. I doctored for thr?-e or four
months and spent at least twenty dol
lars trying to find a cure but none could
lie found. Then 1 saw the Cutieura
Remedies advertised, and the nest day
I purchased some for seventy-five cents
at the druggist's. I used them and I
was relieved of the itching in three days,
anil I have never had a sign of any skin
disease since. The Cutieura Remedies
are the only remedies to use for skin
diseases, they have curi-d me and they
will cure others in the same way. J. \\ .

ter the smoking car. "the car back Is
the one you want."
"How do you know?" she tartly
asked.
"Because this If. the smoking car."
She pushed past him aud climbed
up the steps, and after taking a seat
she pulled out and tilled a pipe, struck
a match on the sole of her shoe, and
after drawing a few puffs she said to
a man smoking a cigar across the
aisle:
"That young feller out there don't
kuoxv half as much as he thinks he
does."
"How so?" was asked.
"He took me for an old woman that
had never rode on the cars before and
told me this was the smoking car."
"And you wanted this car?"
"Why, 1 never ride In any other?
not unless my pipe Is broke, my to
bacco all out aud none o' you men

often said you disliked to see a woman

"That's right," rejoined Sklmpem.
'"You consider it indelicate and un
womanly. don't you?"
"I certainly do."
"And you don't thluk a sensible man
would allow his wife to do anything
like that?"
"Most assuredly not."
"Well, John. I'm glad you have such
radical views on the subject, because
they Justify me In asking you for a
new silk dress."
"W-what?"

the last live years I've had nothing
but bargain counter calico, nnd I'm
tired of getting Into print."
