It is Just One Dollar the Year
HEIGHT OF H
Do You Think You Could Lift a
Fortune In Silver Coins
IF YOU DO YOU ARE MISTAKEN
Two Hundred Pounds of Quarters
Would Give You Only 3657 While
the Same Weight of Gold Would
Give 54050 Weight of Paper Money
I wish I had all the money I could
lift How many of the thousands
who make this wish
have any idea of the amount they
would have if the wish should be
granted Few name the denomination
of the money on which they desire to
test their strength perhaps believing
that their lifting towers would make
them wealthy no matter what kind of
money they lifted
If they were asked how much they
could lift in silver or small bills the
majority probably would name some
fabulous sum which investigation
would show several men could not
budge In gold or in paper money of
large denominations the ordinary in
dividual would be able to lift a fair
sized fortune but to win a million by
HPing it in anything less than twenty
dollar bills would need the strength
of a veritable Sandow
An official of the subtreasury who is
interested in odd statistics In his de
partment was asked how much money
the average man could lift in the vari
ous denominations of gold silver and
paper
Well he replied a man could
make money on that proposition if he
could get hold of paper money of large
denominations but on the smaller bills
silver and gold he would not be a
millionaire by any means
The weight of money is very de
ceptive For instance a young man
a friend of miua came in to see me
one da wiIt his fiancee I was show
ing them through my department and
asked my friend if he thought the
young woman was worth her weight
in gold lie did think so most emphat
ically and after ascertaining that her
weight was one 107 pounds we fig
ured that she would be wortli in gold
coin exactly 92SG47 Her fiancee
thought that would be pretty cheap
Perhaps more people are deceived
on tho weight of paper money than or
the metals Now how many one dol
lar bills do you think would be neces
sary to weigh as much as a five dol
lar gold piece
Fifty was ventured as a guess and
the statistician laughed
I have had guesses on that all the
way from 50 to 500 he said and
some of them from men who have
handled money for years As a mat
ter of fact with a five dollar gold
piece in one scale you would have o
put about six and a half bills in the
other to balance it
He produced figures to prove that a
five dollar gold piece weighed two
hundred and ninety six thousandths of
an ounce avoirdupois An employee
who makes the new bills up in pack
ages of 100 each said that a hundred
bills weighed four and one half ounces
That would make one bill weigh
five thousandths of an ounce and be
tween six and seven would balancv
the gold piece
Figures on the lifting proposition
were furnished from the department
where the money is weighed intbags
as standards The standard amount
for gold coin 3000 weighs eighteen
and a half pounds Five hundred sil
ver dollars weigh thirty five and a half
pounds and 200 in half dollars or
400 coins weighs eleven pounds Tak
ing 200 pounds as a good lift for an
average man these results were ob
tained

ON THE WITNESS STAND
The Right of n Witness to Quaiify Hi
Answers
Like Stevensons child as a ue the
witness should speak only when he Is
spoken to lie should not oIunteer
anything except that when he Is asked
a question which with apparent inno
cence could really be answered Yes
or Xo he has a right to qualify i
plain Yes or No This of course
happens most often in the case of ex
perts The Yes but I will explain
and No but I will explain of one of
the distinguished expert witnesses Tor
the commonwealth in the case of com
monwealth versus Quay which was
tried before Judge Iiddle in the court
of quarter sessions of Philadelphia
county several years ago still linger ir
the writers memory
It is a mistaken notion that a wit
ness is bound to answer Yes or No
It is surprising that such should have
ever been the received theory but then
tile hunting down of witches and the
expounding of the doctrine of witch
craft were regarded as proper judlcia
functions only a century or two ago
Tiie theory as to categorical reply was
completely exploded by the gentleman
who propounded the question When
are you going to stop beating your
wife and demanded a categorical an
swer If the lawyer attempts to tell
you that you must answer Yes or
No you have the rijiht to sav thi
the question is one which is not sus
ceptible of a categorical answer This
should door counsel for the moment
Mannerly behavior on the part of
witnesses includes keeping ones tern
per under almost all provocations
Cross examination for the purpose of
testing your memory is not intended
to be and should not be regarded as
Insulting It should therefore not be
resented If the cross examination
transcends all bounds and your pa
tience is exhausted a sharp retort will
not necessarily injure your testimony
witli the jury The jury sympathizes
with the witness more than with the
lawyer and while mere smartness for
the sake of being smart or because of
a too expansive personality is to be de
plored you will be sure of a sympa
thetic audience if you are in the right
and counsel in the wrong Ira Jewell

An Expensive Adventure of a Famous
Parisian Wit
Romieu the famous Parisian wit
was one day caught in a shower and
forced to seek refuge in a doorway of
the opera house It was G oclock al
ready and he had an engagement in
the Cafe de Paris for that very hour
The rain fell in torrents There was
no carriage to be had He had no um
brella What was to be done While
he was lamenting his bad luck a gen
tleman with a large umbrella passed
by Romieu was seized with a sudden
inspiration lie rushed out and grasp
ed thtvstranger by the arm and grave
ly installed himself under the protect
ing umbrella
I am overjoyed to see you he im
mediately began 1 have been look
ing lor you for two weeks I wanted
to tell you about Clementine
Without giving the stranger time to
express ins surprise Romieu rattled
away with gossip and anecdote until
he had led the unknown companion ti
the door of the Cafe de Paris Then
he glanced at him with a face of well
feigned astonishment
Pardon monsieur he cried It
seems I am mistaken
I believe so said the stranger
Good gracious added Roinieu
Be discreet Dont repeat what I
have told you
I promise you
A thousand pardons
Romieu hastened within the cafe
and amid great laughter told the ad
venture to his friends Suddenly one
of them said
Your cravat is rumpled
Romieu put his hand to his neck and
turned pale II is pin a valuable sap
phire was gone On further examina
tion his purse and watch were found
to be gone The man with the um
brella was a pickpocket London Tit

An Italian Superstition
There is an Italian superstition that
whenever a king belonging to the
house of Savoy dies a huge eagle is to
be seen crossing the Alps over the val
ley of Aosta in the direction of Savoy
and the conviction prevails among the
inhabitants of Aosta that this eagle
guides the soul of the dead sovereign
to join those of his ancestors in Savoy
When King Charles Albert died at
Lisbon King Victor Emmanuel died
at Rome and King Humbert was as
sasinated at Monza in 1900 the eagle
was seen winging its way across the
Alps All other eagles crossing the
Alps dont seem to count for much

HEROES OF 5T8
Fame of American Forefather
Attacked In Hew Book
PATRIOTS GALLED DEGENERATE
John Hancock a Smuggler and De
faulter Samuel Adams Another
Declares Jamon H
Stark of Boston
James Henry Stark of Boston has
written a book called The Loyalists
of Massachusetts and the Other Side
of the American Revolution which
refers to Samuel Adams and John
Hancock as defaulters and thieves and
clarses other Revolutionary heroes
degenerates and
looters and betrayers of pubih
trusts
The book contains 500 pages and the
statement that in Virginia the Revo
lutionary movement of poor while
trash or crackers led by Patrick
Henry was against the planter aris
tocracy It was only very slowly and
very deliberately Mr Stark says that
Washington identified himself with
the disunionist cause
Patrick Henry Unreliable
As for Patrick Ilenry Mr Clark de
clares that he was one of the most
unreliable of men Byron called him
a forest born Demosthenes and Jeffer
son wondering over his career ex
claimed Where he got that torrent
of language is Inconceivable I have
frequently closed my eyes while he
spoke and when lie was done asked
myself what he had said without be
ing able to recollect a word of it Mr
Stark also recalls the circumstance
that Henry failed as a storekeeper
and farmer before he said Give me
liberty or give me death
Samuel Adams Mr Stark says was
another He quote
a letter of Adams to prove that he
was a defaulter and as tax collectoi
of Boston did not make proper re
turns of taxes his bondsmen paying
3000
In telling of the Boston massacre
the book asserts that the patriots
poured a torrent of coarse and pro
fane abuse upon the soldiers aston
Ishing even in its echoes across the
century while it compares the Bos
ton tea party with the so called re
spectable mob which on the 11th da
of August 1S34 destroyed the Charles
town convent and a year later nearly
killed Garrison and made the jail his
only safe place of refuge Had slav
ery triumphed that mob would at this
day be the object and subject of popu
lar glorification
John Hancock a Smuggler
Mr Stark says John Hancock was
the owner of the sloop Liberty which
was seized for smuggling and even
asserts that one fourth of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
were bred to trade or to the command
of ships More than one of them he
adds was branded with the epithet of
smuggler
As treasurer of Harvard college he
declares Hancock received college
funds amounting to upward of 15200
Hancock too says Mr Stark proved
to be a defaulter He tells how foi
twenty years the corporation begged
and entreated him to make restitu
tion and even threatened to prosecuti
him and it was only after his death
in 170 that his heirs made restitutioi
to the college
Jcsiah Quiucy is quoted as saying
it would have been grateful to pass
over in silence the extraordinary
course he pursued in his official rela
tion to Harvard college had truth and
the of history permitted
Calls Franklin Mail Thief
Mr Stark also submits eyidence that
Benjamin Franklin when sixty seven
years old was dismissed from the of
fice of deputy postmaster general of
the colonies because he stole letters
from the mail He relates in detail
how Franklin was tried in England
and dismissed from the service The
reference is of course to the historic
incident of the so called Hutchinson
letters
Mr Stark was born in London but
came to the United States when nine
years old He is the author of several
books resides in Dorchester Mass
is president of the British Charitable
association vice president of the Vic
torian club and a member of the New
England Historical Genealogical so
