Mocha is not alone the name of a
kind of coffee, but also of port (le-
mem on the Red sea. The patron saint
of both was Sheik Schoedeli. whose
memory is vcnerated by the Mahome-
tans almost as much as that of Ma

the Indies cast anchor in the port.
Those on board had noticed hut, and
they disembarked to sec what it was.
The slieik tfor'it was his dwelling) re
cciyed the strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of it and attributed great
virtue to it.
The travellers. who had never seen
coffee before, thought that this hot
drink would be a cure for the plague
SchoedeH assured them that through
his prayers and the nse of this drink
that not only would the plague be
stopped. but also that if they would
unload their merchandise they could
make good profit by it.
The owner of the ship was impressed
by this strange man. especially as he
found fhe coffee SO ralafables. On the
same day large number Of. Arabs came
to listen to the hermit's preaching, and
among them were some merchants who
purchased all the goods, on the-ship.
The Indian visitor returned home.

profitable trading, many of his com

mild-mannered man who was deeply en-
crossed in his newspaper. Say young fel-
Ter, don't want this quarter. can't use
it." The mild-mannered man continued to
hold out his hand for his change, but paid
See here" yelled the conductor, getting
red in the face, you can't pass no quarter
like that on me. It's slick. I-can't take it
for more than 20 cents
The mild man looked up and said: I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-
ter yourself last night, and I've been laying
for you since. We'll, give it here He took
the quarter and gave the conductor nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor
he suddenly dropped his newspaper and
gave a chuckle.
"We,l, WE'LL" he exclaimed; "here's luck.
Bless me if that isn't an 1892 quarter with
IA stars and an arrow. It's worth 1882"
He slipped it into his pocket with evidence
of much satisfaction.
A hungry-eyed man in the corner, who had
overheard the conversation, jumped up and
said to the conductor:
Isn't that the very quarter gave you
yesterday morning. missed that quarter.
1t was a pocketpiece and valuable coin.
l remember now that gave it to you. de-
mand it, he said, looking fercely at the
mild man. If you are gentleman you will
give it to me-"

he stepped from the car. Its only plain,
