Some gentlemen of family who are
clever at story, jest and repartee are fol-
lowing a strange business in London.
There is a man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment for all
kinds of social gatherings, having men
of family ON his staff, who III the guise
of guests manage TO insure an enjoyable
evening for the invited guests, and thus
set the anxiety of the hostess, fearing a
dull time for her guests, at rest. A cou.
pie of guineas Will engage the services
of a person of good social attachments, "
who will so exercise his art of enter
tanning others as to put everybody at
once into the brightest Of spirits. Five
guineas will command the services OF
an individual of higher standing in the
social scale" while the proportionately
large outlay Of $50 viii secure those OF

PUZZLES FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.
Iowa Merchant Submits an Advertise

Sioux City, Iowa, June IA merchant
of this place has succeeded in puzzling
the federal authorities of the district

very simple question. While on the
business trip in the southwest not long
ago the merchant learned that Guate-
malan silver dollars are to be had for
46 cents In United States money. The
idea at once suggested itself that these
dollars would make acceptable souven-
irs for his customers. In order to in
crease their popularity he proposed,
however, to stamp each one with his
name and a guarantee to receive 1t for
81 at his place Of business. With each
IS purchase he would give one of these
Ascent dollars. In view OF the increase e
In custom which he anticipated from
this offer and the advertising he would
receive, he believed the loss would be
more than made up. Many of the dol
lars. he also thought, would be kept as
pocket pieces by those to whom they
were given or pass into general circula-
ton so that he would by no means be
compelled to redeem at their face value
all those given out
There was but one objection to the
plan. Would 1t be any violation Of the
federal laws prohibiting the mutilation
of currency or the circulation of coun-
terfeft money? He submitted the ques-
ton to County Attorney Hallman. The

for him, but that he has submitted 1t to

in an instant and being tangled in tine
reins by his fall was dragged over 100

King has resigned. He values his life
