There is n story so utterly ridicu-
lOus that it seems incredible that it
should ever have been printed. which
in n form or another makes the
rounds of various newspapers of the
country annually. Look for it and
you will DOR or later see it crop up
again.
This tale is always based upon the
unpOpularity Of the n cent pieces
in the extreme West and Southwest.
In its most common form it tells of
some Eastern .traveler who attempts
to dispose of a hundred or so one
cent pieces in San Francisco, Ell
PasO or some other place. The
tradesman is always represented as
looking at them curiously and declin-
ing them.
The writer's of these Senseless tales
may have Teen IN the West or they
may not. 1t matters little-their
story is pOintlesS. They seek to
brand the mythical tradesman as of
the same category with themselves.
The cent is a legal tender in
amounts of twenty-five and less. II
an Eastern mar in San Francisco or
anywhere else owes a debt Of twenty
five cents, and tenders twenty five
n cent pieces in settlement, the
courts will sustain him,

lar in the extreme West and South,
but no n need carry Il hundred of
them in a cigar box or anywhere else

dump in twenty-five cents and see if
you will have any difficulty in obtain
ing stamps or postal cards of like
amount. II one is refused. a letter
of complaint to the postal authori-
ties will oOn work the removal OF
an employe who would discredit
United States money.
1t is well to bear this matter of
the legal tender OF a cent in mind.
No n for spite can make a person
take more than twenty-five of them
in any single transaction involving
the settlement of a debt. One need
have no fear, then, of receiving 500

to reOrganize the system of credits. to
protect their interests when threat
ened by hostile legislation. and to Crap

There are %thirty-One large establish

five manufacturers, under the name of
the Merchants Association of Chicago,
represent an invested capital of SIS
600, 600 to $40, 00O. 900. and employ from
10, 900 to Is. 900 ~tallors, cutters, and seam
stresses. The first object is said to be to
prevent overpurchasing by that class of
merchants which gees into bankruptcy
just after laying in Il large stock Of
goods. These dishonest failures have
hit wholesale clothiers harder than
any other manufacturers. CustCm ers
whose credit was good for several
thousand dollars at the utmost found it
both possible and profitable to come to
Chicago markets, buy to their limit
at half a dozen or moro houses and
then 90 home and fail just about the
time their bills fell due. That is one
of the things the Merchants Associa-
ton intends to stop. The entire sys-
ten of credits has been changed. In
stead of each firm making credits for
itself. there is now an interchange of
credit news, SO that any firm a learn

witness in a case, and both he and
the lawyer, who were trying to ex-
anime him, were having u hard time

frOwsY in his personal appearance,
and this heightened the effect of his

Stitches in Time.

One of the most ~diStaSteful of
housekeeping duties is the weekly
mending, and still worse the monthly
mending-for the inch darn that
would have been all sufficient three
weeks earlier now demands a full
half hour Of steady work that raises
strong doubts as to whether the game
is worth the candle, while toes and
heels have come through stockings
that needed only a few stitches when
first noticed. The woman who hest

nipping decay in the bud, as it were,
is assuredly lost so far as any further
satisfaction in the neglected gar
mentS is concerned. and every time
they are washed sfresh gaps are sure
to appear,
The smallest thin place should be
darned as evenly as though it were
embroidery, and the darning stitch
is often used for this purpose. When
tine and regular, the work is really
beautiful, and in imparting this fact
to IA child will greatly mitigate the
woes OF her first lesson in darning.
The and regularity of 4
darn give il dignity and elevate it
into a work OF art.
1t is important, however, to know
when to darn and when not to darn,
as most wOmen's time in these busy
days is OF far more value than Ordi-

LOVES REMINDERS.

Shy blueblrd on yon maple spray,
My coming causes you surprise.
You cry aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter as they rise;
So blue are they, SO skyey clear,
Unequaled bliss their beaming brings;
For now l think of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright as bluebird's wings
From covert groves glides forth triIl
OF wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while list my thoughts will still
Seek her who is most dear to me,
For, oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrier than the leaping throng
OF waters when spring rills rejoice
Its music mates the linnet's song.
Upon bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry and feet,
Until, by my rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And as she bounds without fall
From lower limbs to limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The fake-light footballs Of my love.

are too quick to recognize real merit o
lack of it, and cling only to those thing

The inference is plain. Hoods Sars-
