FORTUNE IN RARE COINS
Fat Picking for Watchful Cashiers In
Stores, Bartenders and Street
Car Conductors.
Cnßhlers In stores and rostanrants,
ticket agents at theaters and railroad
stations, bartenders and conductors
on cnrH are In a fair position to be
come collectors of rare coins, as they
handle every kind of money piece
from foreign coins to old-time money
of the United Stales. A saloonkeeper
In Harlem declares he has made a
small fortune during the last few
years by Having the rare coins that
aro taken over the bar.
"I have a tin box filled with rare
United States pieces,” he related,
“and I could have a collection of for
eign coins If I so desired. You would
bo surprised to see how anxious some
men are to get a drink at the expense
of spending a rare old coin for Its
face value. Silver and puper currency
that pay a good premium are given to
my bartenders for face value. I have
often noticed a reluctance on the part
of the holder before parting with the
coin. He will give a last look at the
money nnd then place It on the bar
for the refreshing beverage One man
told mo thnt a coin had been In the
the family for nearly a century. He
wanted only one drink and was afraid
I would not take the coin because of
Its age. 1 gave him the drink and
change for the piece at its face value,
iud ho was overjoyed.”
Impossible Road.
Chauncey M. I)epew frequently dep
recates the comparisons that are
drawn between American and Euro
j pean railways.
| "These comparisons are unfair to
1 uh," he once said at a banquet In New
York. "When I’m told how very sale
j the European railway Is 1 think of the
Nola Chucky line.
"The president of the Nola Chucky
line once waited on me to request an
exchange of courtesies. I interrogated
him, and he said proudly:
“ ‘On our lino, sir, not only has a
collision never occurred, blit on our
line a collision would be impossible.'
"•Impossible?’ said I. ‘Oh, come. I
know that the latest automatic safety
devices are excellent things, but Im
possible Is a large word.'
” ‘lt's literally true with us, sir,’ he
replied.
‘“How can It be?’ said I.
“ 'Why,' Bald he, ‘we own only one
train.’"
Taxing Bachelors.
One of the smallest of the Herman
principalities Is undertaking a very
Mg experiment In financial legislation.
The diet of the elder of the two prin
cipalities of Iteuss, which He In cen
tral Germany, to the southeast of the
i Thurlnglan states, carried recently a
resolution In favor of Increasing the
state Income tax by 6 per cent, of the
tax on Incomes between £IOO and
£3OO. nnd by 10 per cent, of the tax
on Incomes exceeding £3OO a year In
the case of unmarried persons of eith
er sex who have reached their thir
tieth year. The diet consists of twelve
members, and the resolution was car
ried by seven votes against five. The
super-taxation of bachelors has often
been proposed in other German states,
and was Jocularly referred to as a pos
slide form of Imperial taxation by the
Emperor William.
Dark Problem.
There are those who are dreadfully
Intolerant of Ignorance about New
York. The other day. for Instance, a
lady, obviously from many hundred
miles away, boarded a Broadway car
at Times square.
"Does this car go to Third avenue?” ;
| she asked.
A look composed of equal parts of
pity, rage and disgust spread over
the conductor’s face.
"Will you please tell me, lady, how
this car could get onto Third ave
uue?" he asked coldly, as soon as he
could enunciate.
Bill the Philosopher.
Wise remark, by Bill, the Philosoph
er:
“There's one good thing about It.
Anybody who talks about himself all
the time hasn't time to be a knock
er."

TRUE ART OF ADVERTISING
Man In Burglar’s Mask Was Only In
troducing Patent Safety Alarm
and Preventer.
As I opened the door I saw a man
with a burglar’s mask kneeling before
the safe. The next moment be had
turned and shoved a revolver into my
face.
“Throw up your hands!” he said.
I did so.
"You understand," he remarked
| pleasantly, “that I can In the present
circumstances loot the premises at my
pleasure?”
I confessed that he could.
"You realize that you aro at my
; mercy?"
“I do,” I replied.
"You acknowledge that I can blow
you to kingdom come If I like?” he
persisted.
"Certainly,” I admitted.
"Well, then,” he said, "you will he

Then, pocketing his revolver, he
withdrew.
WHY THE PRICE WAS HIGH
Sir Joshua Reynolds’ Notice of Sketch
Macfe It Worth Vastly More,
Said Dealer.
"What do you ask for this sketch?”
said Sir Joshua Reynolds to a picture i
dealer whose portfolio he was exam
ining. "Twenty guineas. Sir Joshua.”
“Twenty pence, I suppose you mean.”
“No, sir; 1 would have taken twenty
pence for It this morning, but If you
think tho drawing worth looking at
all the world will think It worth buy
ing.”
A Iktndon dealer who had made a
few trifling purchases at a second
hand furniture shop In the country
was leaving it, when he caught his
foot. In the string of a picture and fell.
Having picked himself up, he examin
ed the picturo to see if It had been
damaged. It had escaped injury, and
he found, to his surprise, that in thus
tripping he had—literally—stumbled
upon a print of tho duchess of Rut
land, after Reynolds, by Valentine
Green, In Its first state. The dealer
bought the print for £4 and after
ward disposed of It for £I,OOO. —From
Jernlgham’s “Bargain Rook.”
Wise Servant.
A woman in Trenton, N. J., who has
been having a lot of trouble with her j
domestic help, was obliged recently to
accept tho temporary service of a raw
recruit In tho shape of an Irish girl
Just landed In this country.
After a preliminary survey of the
girl and a dejected sigh, tho lady of
the house asked:
“What, can you do?"
“Shure, most anything at all, mum,” |
responded the newcomer.
The lady of the house glanced about j
the room. There was everything to !
be done. “Could you fill the lamps?” j
she finally ventured to ask.
“Shure, I kin fill the lamps!” ex
claimed the enthusiastic Celt, as she
grabbed one and started out. Then,
with the air of one wishing above all
things to suit the possible caprices of
a new’ employer, she paused to query:
''An' Is It gas or oil ye’d be wantin’
thirn filled with?”
Judge's Severe Comment.
Sir Matthew Begbie, chief justice of
British Columbia, once hail before]
him a man charged with having killed
another man with a sand-bag. The
evidence was conclusive, and the
Judge charged the jury accordingly,
but a verdict of "Not Guilty” was
promptly brought in. The judge was
astonished. “Gentlemen of the jury,”
he said, "this is your verdict, not
mine. On your conscience the dis-;
grace will rest. Many repetitions of
such conduct ns yours will make trial
by Jury a horrible farce, and the city j
of Victoria a nest of crime. Go! 1
have nothing more to say to you.”
And then, turning to tho prisoner:
“You nro discharged. Go and sand
bag some of those jurymen; they de
serve It.”
