TRICK WITH A BANK BILL.
A Man Who Planned Good Joke on His
Boston Friends.

A Man Who Planned a Good Joke on His
Boston Friends.
A man walked into a hotel near the
Grand Central station early the other
morning, having just left train. He
ordered and ate hearty breakfast and
then, instead of giving his waiter the
money to pay the check and waiting
for the change, as most men do, he
clipped" the waiter and carried the
bill to the cashier. In his Hand, says
the New York Tribune, along with the
bill for his breakfast, he held ten
dollar note.
ssI wish," he said to the cashier,
''that you would pin a slip of paper to
this bank bill, so that you can identify
it, and then put it away, please, until
I call for it. I'll be back tomorrow"
The cashier looked rather aston
ished.
eyes, said the other. ''I only want
to leave it here as security for my
breakfast. I'll come back to get it"
s'But it's a good BILL" said the cash
ier. ''I'n accept it and give you the
change"
ssNo," replied the stranger. 'sI don't
want you to do that. want merely to
leave this bank bill in pawn. want to
pledge it. Give me the price of my
breakfast on it, and tomorrow I'll re-
deem it."
''Oh, see," said the cashier, with a
smile, ''you want to keep this bill be-
cause it has some peculiar value through
association. It's sort of a souvenir,
eh2''
''Well, not exactly was the answer.
''You see, have been over in Boston.
I went nearly broke there. When I
was coming away some of my friends
insisted on lending me some money. 1
told them that 1 should not need it,
but they declared 1 could not pull
through. One of them forced ten dol
lars on me-"
"'I'll tell you what I'll do said.
you take down the number and date
of this bill. I'm coming to Boston
again next week. Now to prove to
you that don't need this ten dollars,
I'll bet you that I bring the same bill
back with me, I'll bet dinner for us
ALL
''They took the bet, and that is why
want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty
good joke on them, eh?" he said, with
wink. 81 spend it, and yet keep it.
Take good care of it for me-" and he
went out, looking like conqueror.
About five minutes later the cashier
took out the bill, pinned the slip of pa
per to another one of about the same
color and appearance, and slipped them
back into his cash-drawer.
81 wonder who'll have the joke on
him, now?" he said to himself, and then
he whistled softly.

COINS OF LITTLE USE.

The Gold Dollar Had No Utility, While
the Three-Cent Piece Served a Purpose.
To one who has not given the sub
ject thought 1T would seem that the
most useless coins ever issued by the
United States were the silver three
cent pieces. They were small, as thin
as sheet of MANILA paper and before
they finally disappeared from circula-
ton they came to be regarded as
nuiSanceS.
Although there is much to be said
against the annoying little coins, says
the New York Herald, they were, as a
matter of fact, of far greater utility,
as far as circulation Is concerned, than
another coin. This is the gold dollar,
which, experts at the sub-treasury say,
has never served any useful purpose.
Said Maurice Muhleman, cashier of
the sub-treasury, recently:
''From the, mutilated condition of
the gold dollars sent here for redemp-
tion it is positively shown that the
public do not regard them as coins.
Their only use appears to be for ban
giles, necklaces, watch, charms, scarf
pins and the like. It is doubtful if one
in a thousand ever really passed in
circulation
with the three-cent silver piece, it
was different. When first coined, the
country had nothing in the shape of a
coin between the huge copper cents
and half cents and the silver half
dime. The small coin was hailed as a
blessing, and became popular at once.
There was an excellent reason for its
issue also.
Strange as it may seem, it was not
provided for by a coinage act, but by
an act revising the postal rates. This
law lowered the cost for transmitting
the unit of weight for letters from five
to three cents. Itwas deemed advisable
by congress thereupon to issue a coin
of corresponding denomination The
coin was of great utility, and circulated
freely until the advent of the nickel -
