FRIDAY, SEPT.24 1*09.
It is quite natural that a pronounced
coolness should have developed
between Cook and Peary in the
polar regions.
Peary's greater silence as he approaches
civilazation indicates that
some kind friend has jerked his
coat tails.
Now that they have Harriman's
fortune whittled down to a beggarly
$35,000,000, his family must insure
themselves to the rigors of the
simple life.

This being a free country, the
small boy now has a clearer title to
ownership of fruit than those who
have spent time and money to raise

In the days of Hendrick Hudson
men felt less tear about losing their
scalps than they now feel about
wearing straw hats after Sept. 15.

The state of New York will get
$1,000,000 tax from the Harriman

A POOR ECONOMY.
The man who thinks he is saving
money by getting along without the

not being able to follow closely the

AT ALL DR1
HE NAMED "OLD GLORY."
Life Story of Captain William Driv.
er, Who Christened the Flag.
Captain William Driver, the man
who christened the American ilag
"Old Glory," was born in Salem,
Mass., Marcii 17, 1803.
At the age of 13 Driver was apprenticed
to a blacksmith, instead of
making plows and shoeing horses,
however, the blacksmith's wife set
hint at work milking cows and doing
light chores. In order that he might
surpass the other boys o? the place
in personal appearance, the blacksmith's
wife clothed him with a shirt
waist of unbleached goods, with great
rows of ruffles down the front. Driver
demurred, but the blacksmith's
wife Insisted that the shirt must stay
on.
However, when Driver was going
out through the gate it was noticed
that he rolled up his sleeves; he
knew that he was in for a fight with
every boy in town. When he got
around the corner he carefully cut
away as much of the ruffles as he
could, but he had to fight, nevertheless;
and he came out of it all triumphant,
though somewhat disfigured,
as might be expected of a lad
that has to lick the whole crowd just
because some woman puts a ridiculous
costume on him. So he ran
away and wont to sea.
During his first voyage at sea after
a severe storm, which caused the
and notified the crew they would
either pump or "all hands would go
to hell together." They returned to
the pump and saved the ship.
He sailed with' this Captain for
five years, who soon afterward made
him mate, and from him he learned
many valuable aud useful lessons. He
left him to become a mate on another
vessel, and soon afterwards
trading master. At the age of 111 he
was made muster of a ship in 1824.
It was about at this time that he

and considered no name too sacred
for It. lie commanded different
ships from that tUne on until he left
the ocean and .settled in Nashville,
Tonn.t In 1837. lie passed through
many thrilling and perilous adventures
after he became Captain, was
chusufl by a heavily armed "Yankee
pirate" in the Caribbean Hea for six
hours. He outsailed and dodged him
in the dark, and saw the pirate hanged
afterward, much to Captain Driver's
satisfaction.
He had considerable experience
with Malay pirates and South Sea
cannibals, to say nothing of the ocean
storms. He left Salem once iu company
with six other vessels. They
were caught in one of the worst snaw
and wind storms ever known on the
New England coast. Ills ship alone
escaped; the other six and all on '
beard were lost. He stood at the
wheel for 48 hours during the storm
and saved his ship.
During this voyage he rescued 65
persons, descendants of the mutineers
of the English ship bounty, who had
been taken from IMtcairn Island to
Tahiti and were dying with fever, lie

Making its Way.
I The striking of more than a millio
cents pieces at the San Francisco mlt
In 1908 made a new record in the lib
tory of tlie United States mint and it
branches, for never before since lit
coinage of pieces of this denominatio
was begun, in 1793, had such coin
been struck anywhere but at the pai
eut establishment at Philadelphia. A
a matter of fact, no need for the mat
ing of coins of this denomination i
the West presented itself until wit hi
recent years, as the demand for c<t
pieces was confined almost exclusive!
to tlie Atlantic and middle wester
states. In the West and Southwc:
this minor coin has had no purcluu
ing value, was not recognized and w;
seldom seen in circulation. Indeet
even at the present time tliero ai
many western localities in which ret
pieces are not accepted.
In Colorado for example, if a pei
son tenders a live-cent piece to a i*)si
master for two two-cent stamps li
received in exchange, together with hi
stamps, not a one-cent piece, but
one-cent postage stamp. There at
no cent pieces in the money drawi
of the postmaster, and he doesn't di
sire any. In a Denver store a coital
commodity is quoted at, say, 17 cent
a pound Tito purchaser must tak
either 15 or 20 cents worth. Notliin
less than five cents worth is soli
Applis may be four for five cents, In
one apple is also live cents, just lit
same. Now the people of the (Jen
tennial slate are going to have
chance of becoming acquainted wit
the little bronze cent, for it is the it
tention of tho government to strik
cent pieces at tho new Denver mill
in lUO'.t.
f'aliforniu has ltad as little use fu
the cent as other parts of the Weal
For many years no coin of loss d(
nomination than 10 cents had a put
chasing value there, and in the gol
days nothing less than 25 cents woul
buy anything, minors frequent!
throwing a handfull of small silvo
pieces out into the street as usel.-.s
weight to carry, the "two-bits" u
quarter being the minimum curiui
coin.
Times have changed and the poop]
along tlie Pacific coast have h<
quicker to adopt the cent than tl < r
In the Kocky inountain district. N?
tho coin is used in such quantitie
j that it has been found advisable t
manufacture cents on tho ground an
thus save the expense of shipmeii
across the continent from Philadel
phia. FY)!- the calendar year of ilk)
tho United States mint report show
that $11,150 worth of cents were strut*]
at tho San Francisco mint and $223,
270.87 worth at Philadelphia.

It's a pity when sick ones drug
the stomach or stimulate the Heart
and Kidneys. That is all wrong!
A weak Stomach, means weak Stomach
nerves, always. And this is also
true of the Heart and Kidneys.
The weak nerves are instead crying
out lor help. This explains why Dr.
Shoop's Restjrative is promptly
helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney
ailments. The Restorative
reaches out for the actual cause of
these ailments?the failing- "inside
