WI COPPER CENTS.
A Story of Their Origin, Use and
Burial.

We were minted the same day, in
1885. One of US bought a paper al
most as soon as we left the mint. The
other went into a rich mans pocket
'for luck ne said. The young fell
low was on his way to Europe. The
cent that bought a paper bought a
cents worth of milk for the news
boys mother. Then the grocer paid
it to an expressman, with some silver.
1t got in with its betters, and was un-
comfortable until it got into a bar
room It'll" After that it led a lowly
life. For years the owner of the bar
room kept it on the table when he
played cards with his customers. He
said it was his 'lucky penny
One night, late, q middle-aged man
came in begging. MISUNDERSTANDING,
its owner for fifteen years tossed it to
the beggar with an oath. That was
all he got there. The cent went into
his pocket. He was poor. From that
time he began to growric The cent
got credit for his good luck. Though
unfortunate itself, it always brought
luck to others. 1t never left its last
owner. 1t saw him grow from a poor
to a rich man, and from a middle
aged man to an old miser. The o
he got the more he wanted. There
was nothing short of murder he would
not do for money. He robbed his
best friends and they never knew it.
He passed for a good man. He vas
the greatest, the most magnificent
hypocrite that lived. This is what he
used to whisper to his smooth, shin
ing, and lucky penny.
Well, the other penny stuck to the
young fellow on the way through
Europe. When he came back, after
happy years of wandering, he had a
velvet case made for the lucky cent.
The first day it left his pocket for the
case he was killed in a runaway. His
things went to this one and that, and
the cent was shot at in ashooting gall
lery for a number of years. No bullet
ever struck it. Everybody knew that
and everybody wanted it. So it was
finally sold for So, and lost by the
gambler who bought it, and found by
the miser, and went into the miser's
pockets and found its twain after
fifty-fve years. Two nights later the
miser choked to death on a piece of
hard bread. They came and placed
him in a coffin. They could not close
his horrible eyes until they thought
OF two copper cents.
So, here we are, in our coffin, di-
vided by a nose, holding down the
lids of a dead mans eyes.

She was as pretty as a picture and SO
animated and lively that it did one good
to look at her. She was all this but she
is not now. Poor soul, the roses linger
no more in her cheeks. the former luster

A Frand Like r. b. Hayes.

The vilest and most contemplate
wretch in the State will be the fraud
ulent SENATOR from Hudson when
he takes the seat which he buys from
Republicans with the last vestige of
his honor and manhood. He should
be made a political Pariah by the peo-
pie he will misrepresent. Every hon
est man should turn his back on him,
and treat him with the scorn such
conduct as his deserves.
Stuhr knows he was not elected to
the Senate. He knows that the
chosen representative of the people is
Edward f. Mcdonald.
Gardner knows Stuhr was not
elected.
But Stuhr has sold his soul to Gard
ner for the disgrace of sitting in the
Senate as a fraud.
Let the people visit their wrath
upon his head.

THREE BAYONNE ToUGHS.

They Wreck a Saloon and Fall into the
Tolls of Justice.
Jerry Corcoran, James Flynn and John
Welsh, a trio of Bayonne youths, were
fined $50 this morning by Recorder Besher
for causing a disturbance at John Cas-
sidy's liquor saloon on East Twenty-irst
street, that city. The youths were carry
ing a heavy sjago when they entered
the saloon. Cassidy ordered them out
and they decided to wreck the place. One
of them picked up a lager beer keg and
hurled it through a large plate glass win
dow. His companions We're still inside
and they tossed the key back to him
through the other window. This sort OF
a ball game was continued until the po-
lice arrived and arrested the trio.

The senato's Feast Of Crow.

After all the fuss. how peacefully
the Ballot Reform bill drifted through
the final stages of its course through
the Legislature. There was no circus,
no Republican whoop, no frantic
defamation, no manufacture Of cam
paign material. The Republican
Senators just woke up to the
fact that they were altogether on
the wrong track; that they were
making donkeys of themselves and
helping the Democracy by opposing
the bill that the whole State had en-
dorsed.
So they just put their pride in their
pockets and voted for the Werts bill
as quietly as possible, SO that as little
attention as possible might be at
tracted to the ludicrous spectacle they
made feasting on cold crow.

Mayo as "Davy Crockett

Mayo as sDavy CROCKETT"
"Davy Crockett" is unlike any other
play in that it has not a single strong
point in itself; and yet it is made one of
the most entertaining of representations,
simply because a true artist has con-
ceived an ideal of the hero of the play far
above and beyond what an ordinary man
could lave even dreamed. He has taken a
backwoods hunter and given him a no
bility of soul and a high type of manli-
ness that command the admiration n
honor of every one to whom he is intro
duced. He never loses his Identity
never forget that he is what he is. Mayo's
Crockett" is a work of art.

Begged for Her Dogs Life.
Mrs. Baum, Of Nc. 1903 Thorne street, created a
scene In Justice Wanser's court. The woman
owned a dog which bit the little son OF a .neigh-
Dor, and the justice ordered it shot. Mrs. Baum
begged for the life OF her favorite, which she
said was her only protector since her husbands
death. She said it was not proved that her dog
was a bitter. The Justice refused her plea and
she thereupon declared that the dog should not
be shot. She also offered a fine of $50, which
was refused. The dog was killed and Mrs.
Baum went home weeping.
This may be some peoples idea Of
justice and good sense; but it seems to
us cruel and n~onsensical in the last
degree. Doctors agree that it is of
some importance not to kill a dog
that has bitten somebody in order
that it may be ~ascertained whether
it is rabid or not-this in the in
terest Of the person bitten. But if
the dog is not mad, there can be
no excuse for killing it I'M
less 1t is proven to be wicked
and generally dangerous. In
the present ease this is incredible.

show that the animal was of a gentle

Chilling the Feet.

"A medical authority, DR.. Munde,
says that the imprudent act of getting
out of bed without protecting the feet
has caused more disease to women
previously healthy than could result
from any other imprudence. The
sudden exposure of the feet to cold
has brought on many an attack Of
cellulitis. -He2ald of Health.

The Care of the Face.

The doctor says you are only an@-
mic, and perhaps you like delicacy
and pallor. But you are only twenty.
Does fifteen seem SO very long ago?
Believe me, the next five years will
pass far more quickly than the last
five, and at twenty-five you will care
just as much to be fair and beautiful
as you do now. If the an@mia, which
is nothing but poverty of blood, is al
lowed to persist, at twenty-five the in
tefesting pallor will have become sal
lowness and all the arts of the toilet
will not hide from yourself or others
the fact that your freshness and bloom
have departed.
This need not be SO. There is alb
solutely no reason why you should
not be as beautiful and attractive at
twenty-five as at twenty. II, as the
years slip by, they write themselves
on your face in the fine, firm lines
craven by intellectual and moral Gull
ture, and you do not at the same time
lose your purity and beauty of color,
the maturity Of twenty-five will be
found to have a charm beyond that
of early youth.-Anaae II. Hale, III. ID.

Points About Innings.


Women who do their own dress
making are often puzzled over the
choice of Innings, and the following
hints borne in mind will be found
very ~serviceable by them:-
Never buy black cambria for q lin
ing, as the dye is more than likely to
spoil the underwear. For black
transparency or open cloths there are
double faced s~ilicias, which are black
on one side and pearl or figured cream
color on the other. With a or
grenadine, jet or net, black silk lin
ing is indispensable, and then care
should be taken to get a fast black.
For light silks crepe de chine surahs,
mulls and embroideries, white linen,
muslin or lawn is a good substitute for
silk, and in lining the skirt of any
limp material printed cambria, per
Gale SILICA or very light calico will be
found serviceable. 1t is agood idea
to save silk dresses, as they come in
very nicely for facings when not sufh-
Gent for an entire lining.
In color light gray Is generally ser
viceable, although, everything con-
sidered, it is safe to have the Innings
the same shade as the dress material,
black excepted.
