A STRONG PROTEST
The United 'States MonetaryLeague
has prepared a strong protest to con
gress against the recommendation
made in the president's latest message.
Joseph N, Stephens, secretary of the
league, asks. that this protest he sup
plemented by letters from those who
approve of the protest, which letters
should he addressed to senatprs and
representatives. The president's reconi
jnendation was as follows: "The at
tention of congress should he especial
ly given to the currency question, and
that the standing committees on the
matter in the twohouses charged with
the duty take up the matter of 'our
currency and see whether it is not
possible to secure an agreement in the
business world for bettering that sys
tem. The committees should consider
the question of the retirement of the
greenbacks and the problem of secur
ing in our currency such elasticity as
it consistent with safety. Every sliver
dollar should be made by law redeem
able In gold at the option of the
holder."
LIGHTNING ART WORK
On the breast of one of the two
brothers killed in New York by light
ning while bathing Sunday afternoon
was imprinted a likeness of a tree. It
was about eighteen inches long and
was perfect even to the smallest de
tails, Including the coloring of the
leaves. The likeness wds burned deep
In the flesh. Physicians are unable
to explain this phenomenon, as there
was no tree within several hundred
feet of the spot where the lightning
bolt struck. The ways of lightning
have long been past finding out.

FIT OF ECONOMY
The following letter was received
from his sister by a New Yorker who
was away from home on a visit: "I
am sending by mail a parcel contain
ing the golf coat you wanted. As the
brass buttons are heavy I have cut
them off to save postage- Your lov
ing sister, J. K. S You will find
the buttons In the rlghthand pocket
of the coat."
