Home of this city by a member of the West
Virginia Legislature, who lived near Hunting

parents. who always told him his father and
mother were dead HIs name was Williams.
His father and mother quarreled. His mother
married again, her second husband being Andy
Holmes They desired to retain the boy, but
were told that ne was taken away.
When young Williams grew to manhood his
adopted father dropped some remarks which
led him to suspect that his real parents were
yet alive, and in or near Wheeling. He re-
solved TO set out on search for them. Com
ing to Wheeling. he found Williams, his
father. He told him that his mother had been
dead for years. but one day he heard him say
something that made him suspect that his
mother was not dead. He made secret in
Qulries and finally learned that his mother was
alive and lived as one Mrs. Holmes near the
Fulton village line. He at once sought her
and is now living with her. Young Williams
says he always thought his mother alive,
for his first memory was that of being in some
sort of an institution and of his mother bring
ing him things good to eat The impression
was very slight, but it was there, and needed
but hint TO make it certain.

Coins OF Many Countries Discovered by a

Coins OF Many Countries Discovered by a
Church Treasurer.
When people read the paragraphs in
the funny papers about the buttons and
the punched and the counterfeit coins
which are dropped in the contribution
boxes, they usually give the men who
wrote the article credit for drawing
largely upon his Imagination. The
fact of the matter is, however, that the
truth is funnier than all the humorous
mems fctions. The treasurers of nearly
every church in the city send regularly
to the United States Sub-Treasury lot
of punched coins on which they realize
not much more than half their face
value. The counterfeit coins are usually
destroyed.
The treasurer of one of the best
known Catholic churches in the city
showed the writer a collection of
punched coins the other day the face
value of which amounted to about ten
dollars, and all of which were put into
the contribution boxes in one month A
queer-looking collection it was, too.
There were coins representing nearly
every civilized nation in the world.
Among the collection were German
pfennings, English sixpences, shillings
and half-crOwn pieces, and six-pence
struck in honor of Queen Victoria
in the year of her jubilee; Canadian
pieces, French ffty-centime pieces Of
the time when Napoleon ruled that
country and pieces of the same denom-
ination struck since the country became
a republic; Mexican coins, pieces from
Venezuela and coins from numerous
other countries.
The largest piece was United States
half dollar; there were several of these.
There were a number of quarters.
dimes, half-dimes, five-cent and three
cent silver and nickel pieces and copper
one-cent pieces, all mutilated, either by
having hole punched in them or a
piece cut out of the edge. Each hole
was carefully plugged with lead SO that

were more dimes than pieces of all the

After the harvesting and stacking

Coal ashes are one of the best mate

When wheat, oats or rye are stacked

the soap suds on wash days should Be
