A Billion Coins.

To gain an idea of a billion coins
place five-dollar gold piece on the
ground and pile upon it as many as
will reach 20 feet in height; then
place numbers of similar columns in
close contact, forming a straight
line, and making sort Of wall 20
feet high, showing only the thin
edges of the coin. Imagine two
such walls running parallel to each
other and forming a long street. 1t
would be necessary to keep on ex-
tending these walls for miles; nay,
hundreds of miles, and still be far
short of the required number, and
not until we had extended our imag-
NATIVE street to a distance of 2,3961
miles shall we have presented for
inspection one billion of coins.

LOST FOR A MINUTE.
Worry of Mind Girl Was in Until
Her linn Appeared.

| 49, H' OPPCdt CA-
She was but Is. She wore golden
hair, iuffed, and the hat that sat
daintily on her tresses was flower
laden and glowing. She had on a
blue dress that had been starched or
otherwise stiffened till it was able to
stand alone There was a broad
lace collar over her shoulders that
set of her deep pink of her round
face and added to the luster of her
blue eyes. She was laughing.
1t was Cortland street near the
Ninth avenue Il" station. There
were busy Wall street men and
Broadway clerks rushing down the
street to make their train, and there
were thick-set men, with half-bent.
rough hands, hauling big bales and
packing cases over the sidewalk.
The noise of the rushing trains. the
juggling street cars and the thousand
and one moving things of the time
and place confused her. She stepped
daintily out of the way of a hogs
head, heavy enough to have crushed
her to jelly, and the three giants
who were hauling it paused to adj
mire her, as did half a dozen SNUG
clerks in sack coats and derby hats.
Then she stopped laughing and
cast swift glance of dismay on
every side. The hogshead men and
the SNUG clerks followed her gaze,
and looked as if they would have
liked to help her.
Country girl, of course" said one
SNUG to another.
Certainly. Seems to be lost"
'tSurep'
The girl gazed about her like a
frightened guinea pig and seemed
disposed to ask assistance of the
smugs, or the porters, or anyone.
1t was trying moment. But the
girl took no notice of anyone nor
cared whether they saw that she
was country girl or not All she
knew was that she was lost.
Lost in a great city! Without a
home, in the midst of thousands
LOST With no one upon whom she
could rely to lend her a friendly
hand. o, it was horrible.
Then, when it looked as if she
would collapse inside her pretty blue
dress like balloon that had lost its
gas, there was Q scream of relief
and she burst out into such a glitter
OF smiles, tears and joyous exclama-
lions as sent the two smugs quickly
to their Harlem train and caused
the two porters to tackle the hogs
head again like men who had moth
ing else but their work to thinl-
about.
A tall, sUnburned young man in a
tight suit of store clothes, with a
blue necktie and a derby hat a size
too small for his countenance. ex-
tricated himself from a mass of loose
boxes on the sidewalk and a horses
head that hung over the boxes, and
took the hand of the girl in blue.

ment authorities at San Carlos. While
being taken to the guardhouse, with
several other Indians, he escaped, and
gathering lot Of bad Indians around
him took to the mountains, where he
began series of depredations.
The Kid and his band were finally
captured by General Miles, and the Kid
was sentenced by court martial to a term
of Imprisonment at Alcatraz He was
pardoned after he had served year and
was taken back to San Carlos. Then he
was rearrested at the instance of the
civil authorities and tried at Globe, A.
T., and sentenced to long term in
Yuma prison. On the way to prison he
killed Sheriff Raymond and left the
wagon driver for dead and once more
escaped to the hills.
Innumerable murders have been CON-
mitted by him, or at least have been at
tributed to him. He has pillaged outly-
ing settlements and raided ranches with
astonishing audacity.

A new variation Of poker has sprung
up. 1t deals out the entire pack in equal
numbers to all players. If five are play
ing, for example, each will get ten cards
at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be.
ing put aside. Then, instead of draw
ing, each player discards as he likes
from his hand, so that he shall have five
cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out Of those dealt him.
Hands are apt to run high in this sort
of game. 1t is called peculiar. ;"
A poker game in which six cards were
dealt, discards and draws being so reg
ulated that only five cards constituted
the final hand, has been known for some
time, but this is further development
Of that idea. 1t is said to have original
ed along the shores of Long Island -

A QUEER FIND.
A Fortified Pony Discovered by Cowboys
on the Plains

A Petrifed Pony Discovered by Cowboys
on the Plains.
81. Clay Emmett, a young cowboy,
who passed through Bolton, Tex, the
other night, reports singular find made
by him during cattle hunting raid re-
Gently. The find was nothing more or
less than petrified pony, standing erect
and complete in all It's parts. Emmett
says that he and his partner, B. G.
Woodville, were riding across the prairie
late one afternoon when their tired
ponies neighed and whinnied as if they
were aware Of the presence Of another
animal.
Looking around, they discovered what
they thought was a broncho tethered to
O mesquite which crowned the summit
of a little knoll to the northward. They
found that the horse was fastened by a
chain, but stood SO rigidly still and
seemed altogether SO mysterious that
their own horses reared and plunged as
If in fright Finally they dismounted
and found that the pony was petrified,
not hair or a hoof amiss. Emmett
says that some ranchman years ago must
have chained the poor horse there, leav-
ing him to starve upon the plains. AS
the ribs of the animal are plainly visi-
BILE in the petrifaction and he seems to
have been otherwise much emaciated,
this is most probably the case. Emmett
will arrange to have the strange find ex-
hibited in some museum. -Philadelphia
