To b. Harrison anent Chilan complica-
tions: An army of deer led by lion is more
formidable than an army of lions led by a

There is not the first evidence of war talk in
any one of its twenty. eight broad columns
But letter which accompanies the journal
seems to show the ex-president, Balmaceda.
in quite different light from that in which
he is represented by Pat Egan- The writer
upholds the party which deposed Balmaceda.
An acquaintance of the gentleman who for
warded the Gillian Times says: 1T may be
that we have never got hold of the real situa-
ton in Chill. The United States may have
been so represented there as to have become
nuisance and hence all our trouble" I'm
doubtedly our friend is correct. The impress

friend inquiries of Sunrise Signals: $40
what extent are our copper, nickel and silver
coins legal tenderg'
This depends materially upon whether you
are doing business with street car employees
or ordinary commercialists. If with the
former, they will scowi at your pennies, and
absolutely refuse smooth money; that is,
money from which is worn the date, stars
and other emblems of its minlage. However,
the copper cent has not been coined for
many years past, and has gone out of circu-
lation.- People will remember them. They
were about as large as a half-dollar. The
modern cents, made of nickel and bronze,
are legal tender for sums of twenty-five
cents or less in one payment. Nickel five
cent pieces have the same. limit in regard TO
legal tender quality, but the silver fve-cent
pieces are good for payment up to thirty
cents. The ten. twenty-five and fifty cent
pieces are good for debts up to $40, while tn e
legal tender quality of the standard silver
dollar is without limit.

The question is often asked. "Why are boys
in theater gallery called gods?' Really,
they don't look it, and mighty few of them
act it. Investigation reveals the fact that
the noted Drury Lane theater of London,
late in the last century, underwent an entire
renovation, and in the course of the orna-
mentation the ceiling was painted to resem
BILE sky, here and there floating among the
clouds of which appeared delties, :Cupids
and angels. The denizens of the gallery
were thus said to be among the gods" and
so came the expression gallery gods" to in
dictate the occupants of the upper tiers into
urlanguage.
