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." Know any of 'em?—San Francisco Chronicle. ' THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1912. 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 Interested to know that I got In with- j out difficulty through your parlor win dow. Had It been equipped < with Smith’s pqient safety burglar alarm ! and prevehter this could not have hap- j pened. Installed, complete with bat- ; terieH, for $25. Allow me to hand you I a circular.

"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.” Brother Dickey Explains. *1 got no snrtnont ter preach to day," said Brother Dickey. "The last time 1 put my presence In dis yer yer pulpit l preached a snrmont what wut so powerful hit sont six sisters off tn a trance, an' dey ain’t come to not ylt. causin' de law ter git after me, kaze dey ain't conscious enough ter rise up an' make a livin' for dey hus- I bands.

Dis is no j time fer a powerful preacher lak' me!” —Atlanta Constitution. Barred From House of Commons. An Irish peer was expelled for dl ; rectlng a lottery, while for organizing a “Charitable Association” of shady habits Sir Robert Sutton and two others were shut out iu 1730. Steele i of the Tatler was prohibited the house ' for "maliciously insinuating that the ] Protestant succession In the house ot ; Hanover Is In danger under her maj esty’s administration.” But perhaps the oddest reason for closing the doors of the house of commons upon a man Is to be found in the case of Mr. As gill. whose sin was that of writing a treatise “On the Possibility of Avoid ing Death." —London Chronicle. 1 jp Condensed Statement of the j| | BANK OF SOPERTON J Soperton* Sa. 1 | And its Branch at TARRYTOWN, GA. 8 £} At the Close of Business Feb. 20, 1012: 1| § ... j gij Resources: Liabilities: sg Loans & Dis’ts. $180,487.58 Paid in Capital $25,00.00 || | Overdrafts 831.53 Undivided Profits 5,978.21 i w Banking Houses, Fur- Total Deposits 115,387.17 niture and Fix’s 9,088.51 Dills Payable 20,000.00 i || Beal Estate 2,463.13 § Stocks 450.00 gs (lash and I)ucFrom * ® Banks 23,044.63 § Total 8166,365.38 Total 8166,365.38 1 i- = 1 » . n Our business is growing every day, and we would like |jj P to have a portion of your banking busines.
