Oregon The policy of the Coos Bay TIju-s crJJl l Republican in politics, with tee independence of 'vhicb Presl.lent Vcoseielt is the leading exponent THE SILVER DOLLOR. "Did you ever study a silver dollar? Tom Purccll of the Hampton, Iowa, Chronie, has and he declares that every mark on it is made for a pur pose., and It Is interesting to know ailiuut nome of them. You will no Clce that around the edge of the dol lar Is a raised ring. This is to keep the face of the coin from wearing away when two coins ae rubbed to setlier. The little scallops on the in--siilt of the raised ring are called "breeding" and are made to keep dis honest people from attempting to counterfeit the coin. The dollars now being minted bear the head of EfbPTiy on one side. This head is not designed from the imagination of an engraver. A young Philadelphia "lady named Anna Williamson pos sessed such perfect features that the .SOTtTJiment engraver secured her permission to copy her head. She died recently in poverty, which seems hardly right when we consider what wealth her classic profile is repre senting thruoghout these United States and our possessions. On the xevorse side of the dollar our nation al T)lrd, the eagle, is shown, In one , talon Is a bunch of ariows, and In .he other an olive branch. That sig--aiifles that our country is great either an war or peace. Partly surrounding the eagle is a laurel wreath. The ITaurel wreath has been the symbol of victory and possession since the days of ancient Greece. Tt adorned alike, tho brows of poet1", sculptors, stfliletes and warriors. Just below the wreath you will sometimes find si-very small letter. If this is an "O" the dollar was minted in New Or Seans. The letter "S" indicates that 2t raine from San Francisco. If thore is no small letter shown, you Binow that the dollar was made at the snint In Philadelphia. If a silrer dol lar was melted it would not be worth a dollar becauuse it doe not contain enough silver. It Is the stamp of tho government which causes it to pass at its present value. Take all the silver dollars you have and ex amine them to seo where they were made. Then think how easy it is to lose them, and deposit them in some good bank for safe keeping. KISSING IN PHILADELPHIA. In Philadelphia they have organ ized a sort of movement against kiss ing, the naughty habit that spreads diseases. It is especially directed against kissing babies by which, they ay, "moro diseases are communi cated than In any other way." It was generally supposed people hnd qult the pestiferous habit of gissiug wo believe, everywhere oxcept in Philadelphia. It Is no longer con sidered tho proper thing even for candidates for olllce to go about nmong tholr constituents kissing tho Siables, in exchange for votes. All such barbaric customs have been rologated to tho past and to Phila delphia. No woman of refinement permits Tom, Dick and Harry to kiss tier baby, any more than she would permit thom to kiss her. In Japan tuother8;do not kiss even their own Ymbles, and tho babies aro probably lietter off on account of the omission. The Philadelphia movement may go so ffir ns all that, before a stop Is jint to It. Another thing thoy havo lone in Phllndolphla Is to declare that In a little while longer all kiss ing will bo rologated to tho Ignorant, to the holpollol, as tho Greeks used to put It. In tho futuro, at least In Chat city, any ono who lclsses any body at all, ovon tho houso dog, will Sjq dologatod to tho outor darkness of vory pollto society. Thoy will bo tho vulgarians, tho porsons without Jbreodlng, tho lmposslblo ones. UPiinchnis Bags and Boxing Gloves Fancy tlnsol for beautifying tho Christmas tree at tho COOS RAY OASn STORE.
