How He Shot Two Offers.

George H. Fisher of Winterport hap
pened to see two otters eating fish. and
he wanted both of them, but he knew
II he shot one the other would get
away, and SO he waited, says the Ban
gor (Me.) News. First one would take
a bite out Of the fish and then the
other would come up for share, but
George waited patiently until both put
their heads down to take bite out OF
their fish, when he let go, and as both
heads were in line, he shot them
through the head.

COL. STRONG'S DOLLAR,
Famous Coin Owned by the Late Mayor
of New York

Famous SOln (WHICH ny tHe Late mayor
of New York
One of Col. Strong's possessions of
which he was extravagantly proud was
an 1904 dollar" He carried it in his
pocket for many years and valued it
at $4,000, says a writer in the New
York Press. The market price is con-
siderably less, though it is said there
are only three such dollars in exist
ence. A few years ago l could trace
seven. One is in the mint cabinet at
Philadelphia, the second belonged
to M. A. Stickney, the third to w. S.
Appleton, the fourth to L. G. Parme-
lee, the fifth to w. b. Wetmore, the
sixth to Col. w. L. Strong and the
seventh to Mr.. Scott of Philadelphia.
Col. Strong's was formerly in the cabi-
net of Robert G. Davies, l was inform
ed, and was sold for $1,000. Our grand
old mayor used to ring it upon the
table at Richter's cafe, where he went
daily to eat his portion of crackers and
milk when the gout did not have a
grip on him.
One of the mysteries is the disap-
pearance of the dollars of 1904 and
their fictitious value today. There
were issued from the mint no less than
1850 of them. Some say that almost
the entire mintage was lost at sea by
the sinking of a vessel that was con-
veying it to China. Others maintain
that the mintage of 1905 included this
mintage, or part of it. The records
show that only 321 silver dollars were
coined in 1906. At any rate the "1804
dollar 's commonly known among
numismatists as the king of rare Am
erican coins. Another mystery is that
this coin has not been counterfeited,
as were valuable ancient coins from
the fifteeth century down.

For Birds at the Window.

Coarse oatmeal is an excellent food
to provide for the wild birds that are
catered to from window or doorsill.
Chopped suet is always relshed-birds
are fond of fat. Indian corn, hemp
seed and boiled chopped liver are rec
commended for this philantnropic pur.
pose. To avoid the onslaught of cats
a basket hung at window or a box
on a pole may be employed.

An Eastern Girl is Building Up . Good
Paying Business.
Bread-making as means of bread
winning is the occupation followed by
a girl in an eastern town. She was
asked by neighbor to include for her
an extra loaf of two in every baking.
Other neighbors heard of and duplicat-
ed this arrangement. From this mod
est beginning the friendly service grew
to business. The village is one much
frequented in summer by wealthy New
Workers., and from May to November
the youthful baker has difficulty in fill
ing her orders for bread and rolls, even
by working from 6 a. m. often till near
ly midnight. Her custom has made
necessary the replacement of the fam
lily cook stove with fine new range in
whose ovens sixteen loaves Of bread
may be baked at once.
