WHERE WILL 1T END?
Silent Struggle Over WORKOUT
Coin.


"A merry war of a unique sort is in
progress between the cashier of Wal
nut street cigar store and one of the
stores customers, says the Kansas City
Times The cashier has a constitu-
tional objection to defaced or more
than ordinarily worn silver coins.
About two weeks ago the customer
came in for quarters worth of cigars,
IN payment for which he laid down a
z5-cent piece that required careful ex-
animation to discover it's identity. so
smooth had it become from much
handling. The cashier could not we'll
refuse the coin, for the man was too
good customer, and it did not seem
best to make any kick about it, The
very next day, however, an opportuni-
ty came to get even on the deal. The
customer came in for some more CT
gars and this time presented a dollar
bill in payment. He got the worn
quarter back in his change. He no.
ticed it, but said nothing, and an hour
or so later the cashier got the same
worn piece back in exchange for some
null ClSdiS. ne SIlllC0 HIS teeth, DuC
took the coin. The next day tnere was
another interchange, and almost imme-
diately afterward it was again re-
turned. The cashier has the quarter
now, and it seems IS if the war will
only be determined when the piece of
silver becomes so worn that either of
the contestants would have good rea-
son to refuse If Meanwhile tho NOR
goes on. and each one of the several
hundred customers of the place daily
inquire, who has it,"
