THE TRAMP WHO WEPT.
He Wasn't Smart, but He Could Ride
Bicycle,

"Speakin about smart folks-about
mighty smart folks" said the farmer
looking man, 1--WE got son, Ebenezer,
who takes the cake over all. He'd bin
workin and savin for two years to buy
a bike, and about two weeks ago he got
one. 1t didn't take him but three or four
days to learn how to wobble around, and
he Dragged SO much that he made me
tired. He was out wobblin one afternoon
when a tramp comes along and watches
him for q minute and then says:
"''Pears to me it takes a powerfully
smart man to hump that masheen
around
"'You bet she do! says Ebenezer. If
it wasn't for my smartness, couldn't
stick on a minute
"And then he wobbles the bike up and
down and around to show off and make
the tramp feel bad. Purity soon the man
begins to weep, and Ebenezer asks if he
has lost his mother or anything.
eyes, my mother is dead,' says the
Teller, but that amt exactly what I'm
cryin about. I'm crying because amt
smart
"T'm sorry for ye,' says Ebenezer: but
everybody can't be smart. To some it is
given, to some it amt
1.-THE tramp tries to hold back his sor
row, but it gets wuss and wuss, and he
leans up agin the fence and sobs like
child. Ebenezer wobbles and cavorts for
awhile, and then it occurs to him to
so the sorrows Of the tramp and show
off his own smartness at the same time.
He invites him to try the bike, and the
teller wipes away his tears and says:
"That's mighty kind Of you, but
know l amt smart 'nuff.'
"'Mebbe you be- says Ebenezer, calcu-
latin that the tramp would get fipdop
the first thing.
"'Won't you be jealous Of me il turn
out smart"
"'Not a bit. II you beat me wobblin
around, won't have nothin but praise
for you
II came out Of the house just as the
tramp was making ready to get on to the
saddle" said the father, "and Ebenezer,
he gives me a nod and wink as signs
to look out for fun. Next minute the
teller was up and clawin for the pedals.
The masheen lodged and twisted around
and started for the fence, and Ebenezer
had just begun to laugh, when the tramp
stopped hollerin and scooted down the
road as fast as a race horse and as
straight as a bee line. Lordy, but how
he did scoot! 1t was mighty easy to see
that he was an old rider. He hasn't been
back. "-Philadelphia Inquirer.

A PRIME FISH cHowDER.
Directions for Preparing "A Delicious
Dish Which Dates Dnck TO
Colonial Times.

And now for that promised fish chow
der. This is a genuine New England
dish. 1t dates back to the earliest CO.
lonial times. 1t is said to have ap-
peared on the tables at Plymouth on
the very first Thanksgiving day that
was kept as a holiday, when the firsi
harvest was gathered. Perhaps we
shall have an added respect for the dish
knowing that it is historic.
You will please observe the following
proportions in preparing your ingre-
dients:
To every pound of fish-cod or hao-
dock is the best for the purpose-use
a one-inch cube of salt pork, half ar
onion, two potatoes, a speck of pepper,
one tablespoonful of -four, one table
spoonful Of butter, one cupful Of milk
and two crackers.
See that the fish is carefully cleaned
and cut into pieces after the bone IS
removed. You may bone the fish your
self, or the marketman viii do it for
you. 1t will save you trouble IL you
have it done. Cook the bones of the
fish and the head in boiling water for
half an hour, then strain the water and
save it. Cut the salt pork and the onion
into dice and fry until they are a light
brown. In the meantime peel and slice
the potatoes and let them scald for five
minutes; pour of the water and add to
the scalded potatoes the water in which
the bones were boiled. and the pork fat,
which has been strained TO remove the
pieces of onion and the solid bits Of
pork. Put this over the fire in a stew
pan, and when It is boiling add the fish
and simmer ten minutes. or until he
potatoes are tender; last of all. add the
pepper, butter, milk and crackers.
am sure IL any Of youtry this recipe
you will find that the chowder is de-
licious, even if you do not care much
about the ordinary fish chowde=. But
Won see that this is an extraordinary
ore. -sallie JOY White, in Woman's

MExIcO'S MONEY.
How IL Is Manufactured
at Present.

Before Mexico was invaded by the
Spaniards coins were unknown in this
country, the natives using in the place
of money the smallest cacoa beans. re-
ceiving those of larger size and better
quality for the manufacture of liquor,
to which they are much addicted.
About "A years after the conquest
that is to say. about the year 1885, Cas-
tilian coin commenced to make its APP
pearance in Mexico. Asst arrived, how
ever, only in very small quantities, il
proved itself insufficient for the needs
of trade, even though the latter was
still of very insignificant proportions.
IL was then that the ruling viceroy, un-
der authority of a royal decree, ordered
the manufacture in the City of Mexico
of small pieces of silver of q certain
weight. These pieces were not stamped
with any coinage whatsoever. and
their value was determined entirely by
their weight and size. From this was
derived the name "peso," which has
outlived the first attempt at making
money in Mexico up to the present.
These pieces of silver remained in cir
culation a number of years, and pieces
of gold and of copper were also added
in time Soon. however, it was found
that this sort of circulating medium
made fraud and abuse extremely easy,
and the Spanish government, taking
cognizance of this fact, established by
royal decree three mints, granting
them a perpetual existence for Amer
lea. These mints were located in San
Luis, Santa Fe and the City of Mexico.
The same decree also provided that
in San Domingo, on the Spanish island
known to-day as Porto Rico, only cop
per money should be made, according
TO the regulations governing the mint
of CASTLE in the year 1850. The coin
age of Mexico was actually begun dur
ing the reign of Viceroy Antonio de
Mendoza, who established a mint In
buildings belonging to Marquis del
Vale. Here it remained only a short
time. being transferred first 10 the
council buildings and later to the Vice
royal palace. During all this time the
coinage was Of considerable amount,
and the facilities of the establishment
were not sufficient to meet the demands
made upon it for coins, for which rea-
son frequent demands for minting ap-
paratus are found in the ancient rec
ords. In the year IT'S the mint was
established in the Apartado building
and has continued since then in the
street of that name. From the dec
laration Of independence until the year
1s47 the mint was rented out TO pri-
vate parties, who supplied with coin
all the states Of the republic that had
no mints OF their own..-El Nacional.
