The Queerest Coins on Earth. Among the strangest coins in the; world are those used in certain out-of the-way towns and villages in South west Nigeria, on the West Coast of Africa, and called "Manillas." In shape they resemble a horseshoe with the two extremities fllattened out like a camel's foot. Being made of solid copper, three-eights of an inch thick, they weight over eight ounces each. In "face value," seven of these queer colno are equivalent to one quarter, so that a dollar's worth would be an un comfortably heavy load. Not only are these "manillas" used among the na tives, but white traders accept them us legal tender for goods sold at the various stores. At one time this Strangely shaped money had quite a large circulation in certain parts of the coast, but its use in now restricted POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING VOTE FOR || Our Next Congressman jj I ''' |n i! ****** i> 1 # j!

I'll show the staff that they are not in the saddle. They'll obey orders!" He tried to get Lanstron on the long distance. "Sorry, but the chief has retired," answered the officer on duty sleepily. "In fact, all the rest of the staff have, with orders that they are not to be disturbed before ten." "Tell them that the premier, the head of the government, their com mander, is speaking!" "Yee, sir. The orders not to disturb them are quite positive, and as a ju nior I could not do so except by their Orders as superiors. The chief, before retiring, however, repeated to me, in case any inquiry came from you, sir, that there was nothing he could add to the staff's message to the nation and the army. It is to be given to the soldiers the first thing in the morn ing, and he will let you know how they regard it." "Confound these machine mindte that spring their surprises as fully execut ed plans!" exclaimed the premier. "It's true—Partow and the staff have covered everything—met every argu ment. There is nothing more for them to say," said the foreign minister. "But what about the indemnity?" demanded the finance minister. H® was thinking of victory in the form of piles of gold in the treasury. This question, too, was answered. "War has never brought prosperity," Partow had written. "Its purpose is to destroy, and destruction can never be construction. The conclusion of a war has often assured a period of peace; and peace gave the impetus of prosperity attributed to war. A man is strong in what he achieves, not through the gifts he receives or the goods he steals. Indemnity will not raise another blade of wheat In our land. To take It from a beaten man will foster in him the desire to beat his adversary in turn and 'recover the amount and more. Then we shall have the apprehension of war always in the air, and soon another war and more destruction. Remove the danger of a European cataclysm, and any sum ex torted from the Graye becomes paltry beside the wealth that peace will cre ate. An indemnity makas the purpose of the courage of the Grays in their assaults and of the Browns in their re sistance that of the burglar and the looter. There is no money value to a human life when it Is your own; and our soldiers gave their lives. Do not cheapen their service." "Considering the part that we played at The Hague," observed the foreign minister, "it would be rather incon sistent for us not to —" "There is only one thing to do. Lan stron has got us!" replied the premier. "We must jump in at the head of the proceision and receivo the mud or the bouquets, as it happens." With Partow's and the staff's ap peals went an equally earnest one from the premier and his cabinet. Nat urally, the noisy element of the cities was the first to find words. It shouted in rising anger that Lanstron had betrayed the nation. Army offi cers whom Partow had retired for leis urely habits said that he and Lanstron had struck at their own calling. But the average man and woman, in a daze from the shock of the appeals after a night's celebration, were read ing and wondering and asking their neighbors' opinions. If not in Par tow's then in the staff's message they found the mirror that set their own ethical professions staring at them. Before they had made up their minds the correspondents at the front had set the wires singing to the even ing editions; for Lanstron had direct ed that they be given the run of the army's lines at daybreak. They told of soldiers awakening after the de bauch of yesterday's fighting, normal and rested, glowing with the security of possession of the frontier and re sponding to their leaders' sentiment; of officers of the type favored by Par tow who would bring the industry that commands respect to any calling, tak ing Lanstron's views as worthy of their profession; of that irrepressi ble poet laureate of the soldiers, Cap tain Stransky, I. C. (iron cross), break ing forth in a new song to an old tune, expressing his brotherhood ideas in a "We - have - ours - let - them - keep - theirs" chorus that was spreading from regiment to regiment. This left the retired officers to grum ble in their corners that war was no longer a gentleman's vocation, and si lenced the protests of their natural al ly in the business of making war, the noisy element, which promptly adapted itself to a new fashion in the relation of nations. Again the great square was packed and again a wave like roar of cheers greeted the white speck of an eminent statesman's head. All the ideas that had beer, fomenting In the minds of a people for a genera tion became a living force of action to break through the precedents born of provincial passion with a new pre cedent; for the power of public opin ion can be as swift in its revolutions as decisive victories at arms. The world at large, after rubbing its fore head and readjusting Its eye-glasses and clearing Its throat, exclaimed: "Why'not! Isn't that what we have all been thinking and desiring? Only nobody knew how or where to be gin." The premier of the Browns found himpelf talking over the long distance to the premier of the Grays in as neighborly a fashion as if they had adjoining estates and were arranging a matter of community Interest. "You have been so fine in waiving an indemnity," said the premier of the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Grays, "that Turcas suggests we pay for all the damage done to property on your Bide by our Invasion. I'm sure our people will rise to the sug gestion. Their mood has overwhelmed every preconceived notion of mine. In place of the old suspicion that a Brown could do nothing except with a selfish motive Is the desire to be as fair aa the Browns. And the practi cal way the people look at it makes me think that It will be enduring. "I think so, for the same reason," responded the premier of the Browns. "They say it Is good business. It means prosperity and progress for both countries." "After all, a soldier comes out the hero of the great peace movement," concluded the premier of the Grays. [ "A soldier took the tricks with our own cards. Old Partow was the great est statesman of us all." "No doubt of that!" agreed the premier of the Browns. "It's a senti ment to which every premier of ours who ever tried to down him would have readily subscribed!" The every-day statesman smiles when he sees the people Bmile apd grows angry when they grow anpry. Now and then appears an inscrutable genius who finds out what is brewing In their brains and brings it to a head. He is the epoch maker. Such an one was that little Corslcan, who gave a stagnant pool the storm it needed, un til he became overfed and mistook his ambition for a continuation of his youthful prescience. • • • • • Marta had yet to bear the Bhock of Westerling's death. After learning the manner of it she went to her room, where she spent a haunted, sleepless night. The morning found her still tortured by her visualization of the picture of him, irresolute as the mob pressed around the Gray headquar ters. "It is as If I had murdered him!" she said. "I let him make love to me —I let my hand remain In his once— but that was all, Lanny. I —l couldn't have borne any mora. Yet that wa3 enough—enough!" "But we know now, Marta," Lan stron pleaded, "that the premier of the Grays held Westerllng to a com pact that he should not return aliv* If he lost. He could not have woo, even though you had not helped us against him. He would only have lost more liveß and brought still greater Indignation on his head. His fate was Inevitable —and he was a soldier." But his reasoning only racked her with a shudder. "If he had only died fighting!" Mar tar replied. "He died like a rat In a trap and I —l set the trap!" "No, destiny set it!" put in Mrs. Galland. Lanstron dropped down beside Mar ta's chair. "Yes, destiny set It," he said, im ploringly. "Just as It set your part for you. And, Marta," Mrs. Galland went on gently, with what Marta had once called the wisdom of mothers, "Lanny lives and lives for you. Your destiny is life and to make the most of life, as you always have. Isn't it, Marta?" "Yes," she breathed after a pause, In conviction, as she pressed her moth er's hands. "Yes, you have a gift of making things simple and clear." Then she looked up to Lanstron and the flame in her eyes, whose leaping, spontaneous passion he already knew, held something of the eternal, as her arms crept around his neck. "You are life, Lanny! You are the destiny of today and tomorrow!" (THE END.) POI.ITICAI, ADVERTISING James W.
