heads bowed. They are looking for small
pieces of money which careless persons
have dropped. Several men with whom l
am intimately acquainted haunt the vicin-
ity of the big daily newspapers, where
there is always more or less small change
in active circulation, and where, as a con-
sequence, many pennies, nickels and
dimes are lost on the street. These coins
they treasure and preserve with the fond
est care. They would not part with them
for many thousand times their intrinsic
value. As a rule, coin hunting brokers
and spectators carry special purses in
which the finds are kept, and some have
amassed as high as So or So.

good luck to find a pin pointing toward

minority in comparison with those who

LiTTLE THINGS.

Only little shrivelcd seed

Only a box OF earth ON the edge

Only a few srant Summer showers;
Only a few clear, shining hours.
That was all. Yet God could make
Out of these, for sick chill's sake,

AS ever broke at an angels feet.
Only a life of barren pain,
Wet with sorrowful tears for rain;
Warmed sometimes by wandering CLEAN
OF JOY that seemed but a happy dream.
A life as common and brown and bare
Is the box of earth in the window there.
Yet it bore at last the precious bloom
OF Il perfect soul in narrow room
Pure as the snowy leaves that fold
Over the flower heart of gold.
