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. "T . ?I 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 it. 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. Truly the age pf chivalry is dead. Before Spokane serves Mr. Taft its app^e d' .t. ! th; . that a -im cr t en ; :he i ClUCB. J. J. Hill told the Bankers Association that prosperity is dependent chiefly on agriculture. We may jeer at the Reubens, but they are the real authors and creators of the pay envelope. The state of New York will get $1,000,000 tax from the Harriman estate. It used to be said that the inheritance would weaken the motive for accumulating wealth, but Mr. liar, iman never acquired a lazy streak. About now the girls of High School age are planning their society schedules for the winter. Once there was a bud stage, but now they jump in about a year from the mud pie period to being society queens. A POOR ECONOMY. The man who thinks he is saving money by getting along without the local newspaper is a very poor economist. Let him begin by figuring what he and his family will lose by not being able to follow closely the local advertising. The announce.en s of our merchants are for the family of limited means the most Vu!u ble news in the paper. They tell when bargains can be obtained, and enable the reader to reduce ha.ne expenses by an amount far in excesr of his subscription.

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 luribieuea me uu^ vim uiory, ub he and his old Captain had Been Bonie stirring times under Its folds 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 'tin urn n in i iu aira 1C j \ J Sly MeCALI. patterns I Celebrated for style, perfect fit, simplicity and reliability nearly 40 years.

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.
