Pennies Not Legal Tender In Amounts of
More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
There is a postmaster in a little town
not far distant, who is noted for the
amount Of authority he is inclined to
show in trivial matters. A short time
ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.)
Union, a business man of the place APP
peared before the stamp window of the
office and demanded 300 one-cent
stamps, for which he laid down an equal
number Of pennies, Here was a good
chance for the auth ori tative gentleman,
and with view of teaching his impor-
tance, he picked IS pennies from the
heap, handed out Is stamps and showed
the rest Of the money to the would be
buyer with the remark that pennies
were not legal tender there in amounts
of more than rs cents.
Expostu1a was in vain, the post
master cited the law in the case and that
seemed to settle it, With a malicious
CLEAN in his eye the buyer swept the re-
naming pennies into his pocket and
mildly inquired: Il suppose can get
a one-cent stamp here for a penny, can't
I?" Certainly said the man at the
window. THEN give me a one-cent
stamp" said the other laying down the
money. 1t was handed to him, and he
demanded another and another after
that, Several people had come in in in the
meantime, and were impatiently wait
ing ing their turn at the window, but the
obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying
one-cent stamps on the installment
plan. Seeing determine tion IA the face
of the other, the postmaster offered to
arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He
. continued to buy as long as his money
3 lasted. and riumph antly departed
amidst an, l the approving smiles Of the
GROVE.

Hanna says may be taken confidently as

Hanna might be rather comfortable
It ne hadn't Major Mckinley on his
hands. Nj. Hanna was forced to gold
platform at st. Louis against his will.
And now he has for a candidate for
president 9 man who, when in congress
voted for free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, and for q resolution declaring the
bonds payable in silver dollars, at the
present weight and fneness, at the op-
,,tion Of the government. He has never
!, taken tsalk back or apologized for either
performance. And "that's what's the
matter with HANNAH Cincinnati En-
,quirer.

MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.

He Very Much Resembles q Bird of Par
adise. .
To see rooster that resembles a bird
Of paradise is a. rare sight, but such a
one has recently been a common spec
tacle in Japan. says the New York
World. ....::. A. = { -. r. a..
This particular fowl was, apart from
his gorgeous appendage, of the ordinary
type found in Japan, except that he was
little more proud in his bearing than
his fellows. =:
Itmay have been his manner that first
led to his selection as the bearer of a
most magnificent tail. The brief history
that can be obtained of this freak
rooster is silent on that point. It prob
ably was selected because only an AFRO
CANT, lordly manner could support such
wonderful and variegated appendage.
Be that as it may, the rooster did GER
tainly have tail 16 feet long. In it were
all the bright colors Imaginable. The
tail was far more brilliant in it's color
ings than the shining feather-fan of a
peacock. 5zs
The neighbors OF the Jap displayed no
interest in the freak bird, but were
amused by those who expressed admirar
ton and wonder, who were invariably
foreign travellers. :s.s
Then it was discovered that the beau
tiful long tail was not afreak of nature,
but the clever work Of the ingenious
Jap, who had fashioned and fastened the
tail in such way as to defy detection
except after the most minute scrutiny.

Sequel to an Experience of Struggling
Young Author.
You remember my telling YOU
awhile ago, when we were talking about
the vicissitudes of life" said a strug-
Cling young author, according to the
New York Sun, s'about am experience
that / had once? [ had a, number of
manuscripts, you remember, which I
desired to sell and which I sent out to
the publications I thought them best
suited for. One after another they came
back, until they had all comeback but
one.. That one, in my own Judgment,
was much the best of the lot, and had
built strong hopes upon it; and when,
so to speak, it still didn't come back, I
felt sure that it had been accepted,
But after waiting awhile longer and not
hearing from it, wrote, asking about
it, and the publisher wrote me- polite
note saying they had no record of it; it
had never been received.
} "That was the story as I told it to
you, and I supposed that that was the
end of it; and it was pretty toug 9Th,
wasn't it? But now let me tell you the
sequel. - -.
"Of course I wrote polite note in
reply to the publisher; and inEthat note
l described the manuscript and said
that perhaps it mighb yet be found;
and latter it was found, and, by snakes,
they returned it! x.
\ ''That was solemn; burt it was one Of
those things that are so everlastingly,
gosh-blastedly solemn that you have to
laugh over 'em; and there can't be
anything very terrible in any thing that
you can laugh over; so, you see, come to
take it altogether, that experience was
not very distressing after ALL"

Hoke Smith didn't resign to support
Bryan because he wished to do SO. but

there is no occasion to place the martyrs

In announcing it's intention to stand

the probable Withdrawal Of Watson, as

at home and makes speeches to those
who travel to hear him.
