SMALL CHANGE IN DEMAND.
Treasury Besieged for Pennies,
Nickels and Dimes.

The holiday trade is making heavy de-
mands on the Treasury and taxing to the
utmost its capacity to furnish small silver
change and nickels and pennies.
This demand is coming from the large
cities-New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, and st. Louis. The demand for
pennies is greater than ever known before,
and for the first time in the history Of the
Treasury demand comes from San Fran
cisco for pennies.
Heretofore the smallest change In nse on
the Pacific coast has been the nickel. This
demand for pennies Is accounted for by
the great number of stores which use odd
figures in selling goods.

Brice. also an intimate friend of Mr..
Sewall.
Mr.. Sewall is not much of a talker
For forty-five years he has been asso-
ciated with business enterprises, which
for the past thirty years have been of
the first magnitude. All of his deal
ings have been with hard headed men
of affairs on whom the platitudes so
common in political life would have
been useless. He has been drilled to
think much and talk little. What he
has to say is expressed briefly and
tersely. He deals only with facts and
never INDUCES in word painting.
He is not a congenial man by any
means, and while he has the finest
home in Bath, it is seldom the scene of
social gayeties This is largely due to
the fact that Mrs. SewaH is an invalid.
And right here it can be said that if
fate returns the Maine man a loser on
November next it will not be much
of a disappointment to Mrs. Sewail.
She does not favor the political prom
inence of her husband, and regards it
as an unwarranted interruption of the
quiet of her home life. She breads
newspaper notoriety, and she has treat
ed all requests for her photograph with
contempt.
Those who know him best say that
Mr.. Sewall would rather go on build
ing ships than win the highest elective
office in the land. But he regards his
nomination as most serious responsible
ity, and having been a vigorous be-
lever in the efficacy of free silver for
many years, he is determined to make
the strongest fight possible from now
on to election. Mr.. Sewalps second
son, William D., and his nephew, Sam
uel S. Sewall. both of whom are part
ners in the ship building business, will
work in the campaign in the interest of
their partner.

played part of heroine. She is a small,

and rules over her home for children

sway. When at home she spends part
of every day at Woody Crest, which is

seems to find her happiest hours those
spent with her young charges and the
ma6rons always consult her upon every
point, from the last new style in pima

for toothache.
1t was owing to Miss Goulds prompt
and heroic measures, upon a. recent
occasion, that a youngster was brought
safely through the crisis of choking

happen to be children. Miss Gould
has, therefore, had fame thrust upon

THEIR BRAVE DEEDS.
The Heroic Conduct of Well known
Society Women When Tested By
an Emergency.


Among the variety of ways in which
women distinguish themselves nova
days is life saving.
1t isn't an everyday occurrence, to
be sure; Grace Darling coming to
the rescue in time of need, but cour-
ageouS deeds are recorded now and
then and often well-known women are
the heroines: society women, who are
popularity believed to be brave and
athletic, more in theory than in prac-
tice.
A HERDS GRANDDAUGHTER
A young woman with heroic i'm
pulses IS the charming granddaughter
of General GranJ-impulses which are
inherited. Miss Grant is a tall, hand
some girl, Of the brunette type, with
clear complexion, soft brown eyes
and a mouth which is a veritable
Cupid's bow. Upon a certain occasion
one Of her little cousins had a narrow
escape from drowning, and Miss Grant
came nobly TO the rescue The boy
was about to step into a row boat,
when big wave tore it away from its
moorings and he was thrown into the
water. Being unable to swim, he
would soon have been carried away
had it not been for Miss Grants bold
plunge into the water. After some
thing of a struggle in the rough waves,
both reached the shore safely, and so
modest was the young heroine that
the congratulations of her friends upon
her bravery Were almost embarrassing
to her-much more so than her strug-
gle in the sad sea waves.
SAVING A FAMOUS MILLIONAIRE
IT is only summer or two ago that
the young millionaire, George Wander

by the herosim of q woman. It was at
Bar Harbor, and Mr.. Vanderbilt was
