Charles II After Worcester.

The "Boscobel Tracts" supply the
groundwork for the story of Charles lis
attempted escape after the battle of Worces-
ter The blacksmith at Charmouth had
been called in, as one of the horses had
cast shoe, and it is somewhat hard to
understand why he did not send for Cap
tain Macy and his soldiers on the chance
of gaining the reward. This horse" he
said has three shoes which were set on
in three counties, and one of these was
Worcestershire.
The hOstlcr in attendance went off to
Mr.. Bartholomew Wesley, the Puritan
clergyman, great grandfather of the Rev.
John Wesley, and told him what he half
suspected. The minister goes to the land
lady of the inn before sending a message
to the guard. why, how now, Marga-
rets" he says. You are % maid of honor. :"
what mean you by that, master parsonf"
why, Charles Stuart was here and kissed
you at his departure, so now you can't be
but q maid of honor There was some
thing of quarrel, with, Get out of my
house master parson, or I'll fetch those
who will kick you OUT and the result
was that Captain Macy was not put on the
scent till midnight and just failed to
catch the fugitives before they took the

CENTS ARE LEGAL TENDER.
Ia Amounts of Twenty-Five or Under They
VIII Go Anywhere In This Country.

There is one story SO utterly ridiculous
that it seems incredible that it should ever
have been printed, which in one form or
another makes the rounds of various news
papers of the country annually, Look for
it, and you will sooner or later see 1t crop
up again
This tale is always based upon the I'M
popularity of the l cent pieces in the ex-
IRENE west and southwest. In its most
common form it tells of some eastern trav-
eler who attempts to dispose of hundred
or so l cent pieces in San Francisco, III
Paso or some other place. The tradosman
is always represented as looking at them
curiously and declining them.
The writers of these senseless tales may
have been in the west, or they may not.
It matters little. Their story is pointiess,
They seek to brand the mythical trades
man as of the same category with them
selves.
The cent is legal tender in amounts OF
25 and less. If an eastern man in San
francisco or anywhere else owes debt OF
% cents and tenders 20 cent pieces In
settlement, the courts will sustain him.
OF course tho coins are not popular In
the extreme west and south, but no one
need carry hLndred of them in a cigar
box or anywhere else as useless metal. Ii
YOU are in a city that has not Il United
States subtreaSury, go to the postofhce,
dump in % cents and see if you will have
any difficulty in obtaining stamps or pos
tai cards of like amount. If one is refused,
a letter of complaint to the postal authori-
ties will soon work the removal of an en-
ployco who would discredit United States
money.
1t is well 20 bear this matter of the legal
tender Of cent in mind. No one for
spite can make person take more than 20
of them in any single transaction involv-
ing the settlement of debt. Ono need
have no fear then of receiving 500 in cents
from some imbittered debtor.-New York

Butchers Tell Why a Custom Common In
Paris Cannot Prevail Here.


From time to time squibs have appeared
in the public prints lamenting the fact
that those who do light housekeeping, and
especially those women who arc occupied
during the day, cannot, like their Paris
prototypes, buy of the butchers in New
York small pieces of game or portions of
uncookod fowls. In order to get at the
reason why such convenient custom
prevails among the workmcn of Paris and
Goes not here, Il reporter visited Washing
ton market in search of Information on
the subject. Why, bless you, said one
of the old time and best known butchers
there, "you must know that the social
conditions are so very different in Paris
from New York. In Paris there arc thou
sands Of women and young girls who live
in lodgings alone by themselves and who
directly buy their own food from the
markctmen and cook if in their rooms
Having no one to divide their meals with,
they naturally desire to purchase only
small portions of meat at time, for fear
if kept it will spuil and then you know
their purses arc very slim over there.
That's why they sell small bits of meat
and game in Paris.
In New York most all the women en-
ploycd in business live at home with their
parents or in boarding houses, where they
also take table hoard. There's not hand
ful of them in the whole town who live in
Lodgings and who prepare and cook their
own meals. They never think of such
thing. If they do not cat in the house
where they sleep, they go to some cheap
restaurant. No, there is no demand for
small portions of meat and game in New
York. AS said before, the social condi
tions arc so different. New York World.

Tow Westinghouse Neatly Turned the
Tables on Commodore Vanderbilt.
When Westinghouse first obtained his
patent on the airbrakc, like most invent
ors he was poor and friendless, and he
found considerable difficulty in inducing
the railroads to apply it to their cars. He
managed to secure an introduction to
Commodore Vanderbilt, who was never
noted for his gentle manners. Wcsting-
house found him engrossed in his CORE
spondence, and he did not dcign to stop
reading his letters while the inventor ex,
tollcd the merits of his device. When he
had spoken his little piece, Vanderbilt for
the first time seemed to take notice of him,
and looking up suddenly said in his gruff
est tones:
whats that you say"
So Westinghouse commenced all over
and explained how by an air pressure of
80 pounds to the square foot the brake
was applied by the engineer, and when he
finished he waited patiently for the yer.

Discouraged, but not disheartened, West
inghouse left, only later to bring his great
invention to the knowledge of the Penn
sylvania railroad authorities. At that
time Tom Scott was the president of the
corporation, and ne at once saw the prac
ticability of the invention and allowed
some of his cars to be equipped with It,
With that opening it was easy enough to
get other roads to use the brake, and West
inghouse's fame and fortune were made.
When that time had arrived, he one day
received letter from Commodore Wander
bilt, asking him to call at the Central's
Office. Mr.. Westinghouse reply was terse
and to the point. He simply wrote:
