Having Some Fun.

Now, boys, Will tell you how We
can have some fun" said Charlie to his
companions who had assembled one
bright moonlight evening for shedding,
snow balling and fun generally.
What is it 2" asked several. at once.
"You shall see," replied Charlie.

sect them; and you and Fred and
Nathan each get an AK and I will get a
shovel. Let's be back in fifteen min
utes."
The boys separated to go on their
several errands, each wondering of what
use saws, axes and shovels could be in
the play. But Charlie was favorite
with all, and they fully believed in his
promises, and were soon back aga IN for
the fun.
Now" said he, "Widow Bradley has
gone to sit up all night with sick
child. A man hauled her some wood
to-day and I heard her tell him that
unless she could get some one to saw it
to night she would have nothing to
make fire with in the morning. Now,
boys, it will be just as easy for us to
saw, split and pile up her wood as to
make a snowman on her doorstep, and
the surprise of the first will be better
than that of the last. What say you,
boys?"
One or two of the boys objected. and
could not see the fun, but the majority
went for it with the inward satisfaction
and JOY that always results from we'll
doing.
1t did not take long for seven smart
healthy boys to split and pile up that
load of wood, and to shovel good path
from doorstep to wood-pile. They
felt great pleasure and satisfaction oy T
their fun, and then all went to neigh
boring carpenters shop, where shavings
could be had for carrying away, and
each brought an armful; then they
went home with light and joyful hearts.
The next morning when the poor
weary widow had returned from watch
ing at the sick bed, and saw what ad
been done, she was astonished, and the
tears of gratitude ran down her cheeks.
She wondered who had done the kindly
deed, and when afterward told, her fer
vent invocation, "God bless the boysI"
would have richly repaid them could
they have heard it.
The life of the modern actor, says
the Chicago Herald, is one of almot'
incessant shift. He lives upon the
stage, in the dressing- room, the car
riage, the hotel, the railway car. Back
and forth across he fits, night here,
and another there, a week in one city,
sometimes two weeks in another. The
shadows that come across the mind Of
the most prominent actors of the day
have made him . silhouette typical of
his kind. Unable to act, and vet all
the time thinking his engagement be-
gins somewhere ON the morrow, he is
constantly journeying to meet it. By one
train toe hicaHo.by smother to st. Louis,
then back to New York, again to Philar
delphia to Cincinnati, he is continually
going and coming. His un6asy spirit
seems doomed to walk the earth.

His Action Against the BOSTON Herald for
a?5,OOO Damages.

MS fh'liDh hHNlnNt the BOSTON IttIliU TOR
~!5,OOO Damages.
Boston AdVcrtiscr1
In regard to the libel suit brought by
General Butler against the Boston HCruII
for an alleged libelous article. which ap-
pearcd in that paper OH November Is, lSS3,
claiming damages of 10000, Mr.. Thomas
W, Clarke, counsel for General Butler,
says that the case was begun bccajlse the
attack had been madc when General
Butler was not Il candidate for any
Office. such attacks made against men
running for public positions can not be
considered i'll the same way that this
particular one can, and that this case had
been begun and would be carried ahead.
General Buffers attention had not been
called to the article in question until De
ccnlhcr last, and having Il little leisure,
ne concluded to investigate the matter.
The evidence against the truthfulnesS of
the "Old salt s. article was to be found in
court records and in the records of the
naval department of Washington. Mr..
Clarke read extracts from letter of a man
who was on the Mississippi at the time of
the accident, and, in fact. all through the
voyage. This letter, he thinks, would
give the lie to almost every statement
made irlhc HCruliS article The cap
tain o! the Mississippi having twice run the
ship aground, and proved himself gener-
ally incompetent, on vote of the officers
he was removed aud placed under arrest
Acting Master Henry f. Sturgist, who
had been transferred from the Mount
Vernon, was placed in command OF the
Mississippi, and in addition "A good pilot
was taken on. Mr.. Clarke said that Gen
eral Butler intended to make the HCruld
acknowledge the corn or to test what
the value of its influence was ON the read
Ing public.
Mr. Major, General Buffers private sec
rotary, was seen, and said much the same
as Mr.. Clarke. He said that General But
Ter considered the attack a very Unfair
one, and he meant to follow it mp. At
tacks made during Il campaign cannot he
followed up, as Mr.. BIauc's case lately
showed, but libellous remarks about pri-
waite persons can.
The HCrdid has as yet taken no notice
of General Buffers suit. and probably
Will not for the present. II L. Thought, by
those who know, however. that il the case
is followed up and brought To triHl. it will
have enough to say ON it, own behalf and
against the general.

RARE AND CURIOUS PENNIES.
4 Complete Collection of Specimens of All
the Cents Coined in the United states.

Warren Gee, of Spring Lake, Mich, is
the possessOr of one Of the most complete
and finest collections of United States
money in the country. The collection of
cents embraces specimens of every coin
age from the first To the last, all in fine
condition. The first United States cent
bears the date of 1913, and cents have been
coined i'll every year since then, with the
sole exception of the year lNl5. The first
cents had on the observe female head
with loose, flowing hair The head faced
the right, not the left, as do the heads ON
cents of the present day. IN 1895 what is
called THE iillet head was adopted, the
hair being loosely tied This "liIlct head"
appeared upon all the cents until lSOS,
when a head known among collectors as
the turban head appeared The "tur-
ban head faces the left. The word Lib
erty' appears upon the cents of this class,
but what Is di,tinctivcly termed THE Lib
erty lfCad, with the hair bound with II
band bearing the word "l.iberty,' is first
seen upon the cent of 1916, running
through all the rest of the series of large
copper cents, the last of which was issued
in lS11. In 1896 the coinage of what is
known rs 1.-THE eagle cent commenced.
This is a small nickel cent bearing upon
the observe the figure of flying eagle.
Eagle cents We're coined in 1876, 1857 and
1858, The eagle in 1853 gave place To Il fe-
male head wearing an Indian hcaddress of
feathers.
In 1864 the material of the cent was
changed from nickel to copper, This was
the last alteration. The rarest of the
ceats are those of 1899 and 1854 The for
mer is valued ut 81 to SO, according to
condition, and the latter ut $500 to Sl5OO.
Mr. Gee remarked, II saw an unusually
line 1904 cent sold in New York a month
ago for 5000. 1t was an uncircuated cent,
which had been kept in Il box of cotton,
and was perfectly bright There was com.
/ petition at the sale The cent of lSOHs
another rare cent, ordinarily well preserv
/ ed specimens of which are worth ; 80 to
| -, An uncrculated specimen would
/ bring SO to SO, Any of the cents prior tC
| $500 is worth in good condition from 81 ~
| to 50. The large copper of dates from
1896 to 1891 range in value from 10 cents I,
81 apiece. The eagle cents of 1851 and
| 1858 are common and command no pre-
MUM, but that of 1856 is rare. In uncir
culated or proof condition it is worth from
So to 50,
