Pennies in Wichita.

The other day Vester Cohn. son Of c.
c. Cohu, had TO write an essay and ne
took for his subject the autobiography Of
a penny He told how the penny was
rescued from the bowels of the earth
minted and sent peregrinating over the
world until it finally reached a postof-
fee where with long confinement It turn
ed green, until it was rescued BY a kind
hearted merchant. 1t happened that his
father had given him the idea for a
denouement several years ago. when he
related ar interesting fact. Fifteen years
ago when Wanenstein and Cohn opened
IN in Wichita they resolved to start a
penny system. Until that day business
had been conducted here on five cents as
the smallest divisor. Wares we're Sc. or
1Oc. or 15c OF 2oc. never &c or &c. or 13c or
17c. When Mr. Cohn inaugursted his
system he was non-plussed TO find an
entire absence Of pennies in the city The
banks didn't have them. He went 70
the postofice and was informed that they
had some. had had them for wears. The
postmaster set forth his entire stock, ~
green with age He was glad TO get rid
them. Mr.. Cohn took them and started
the first odd cents bargain day The
banks sent 70 St. Louis for more and from
that date. Wichita has had coppers in
circulation.

Saw a Desperate struuqIe.

There was great excitement on south
Main street Thursday, as people were
coming from dinner. In the residence
Of a prominent citizen, one who is digni-
fed in social and personal life. and who
is a regular attendant at church, great
excitement seemed TO exist and a crash
ing noise was heard that made people
thin kthat the man of the house had come
home full and was breaking the furniture
The majority Of passers not caring TO
stick their noses in family affairs quick
ened their pace, but few meddlesome
fellows ran up 10 the front window and
saw a desperate struggle in the back
room. They could hear swearing. too.
One OF the participants was the owner
Of the premises and the way he got
around showed him to be a warm number
in a rough and tumble. One OF his gal
luses was already broken and the button
that had held the other one was gone.
Sometimes he was on top and some times
under and the way he and his antagonist
rolled around on the floor indicated a
bitter if not a savage contest. The two
men who were peeping in at the battle
ran around TO q back door. rushed in and
saw the owner of the house. with fear
full expression on his face, holding down
two or three stubborn pieces Of stove pipe.
A stove pipe is a great missionary for
the devil.

Nj cehrinu Was Sad.

AS an instance of how carefully the
Japanese wrap things, only three pieces
OF chinaware were broken in the ship
ment to Mr.. Gehring of this city this year
The shipment is of the most fragile Jap
enesa ware. The three pieces which were
broken were wrecked by the custom
house officers who in examining them
failed to re-wrap them correctly. MT
Gehring and his force are not as FORUM
ate in handling the ware as the japanese
as frequently rare pieces are broken. The
other day a customer was looking the
collection over and having spent about
an hour admiring everything declared; i
must get out of here or III buy some
thing" When the customer had gone
Mr.. Gehring was sadly putting the pieces
back in their places when he dropped one
and it went tumbling to the floor breaking
into smithereens and knocking two other
valuable pieces into fragments on its way

Good Friend to Reporters.

Mrs. Fannie Bloorafield-Zeisler, who
gave a concert at the opera house during
the week is good friend to reporters
not because she needs the friendship but
because she is good hearted. Whenever
they want an interview from her she
makes their work easy for them and
usually helps them with an explanation
of the technical points of the art. The
boys from ocean TO ocean have good
word for her. interviewing a woman re-
quires peculiar reportorial skill. The less
one knows the more she pretends to
know and the more fearful she IS that
you won't get what she says right The
intelligent woman sizes up the interviewer
and If he is q man who is candid with
her she will help him and never for
second creates in him the impression that
he is not competent 70 quote her correct
" Here is what Mrs. Bloomdeld-Zeisler
does; She shakes hands with the reporter
and so gracefully expresses pleasure to
oblige him that he at once feels easy,
being satisfied that he will get what ne
is sent after-au interview.

suggest an idea. About the time this idea
is covered she says something that sug-
gests another question. and so on till one
has a whole lot OF clever expressions
and opinions from her. IL she is pressed
for time she will indicate it in a very
simple, candid and affabIe manner, and
when you are going she detains you just
for a little while, just TO show that she
is by no means anxious to get rid of you
She is a woman of a very rare variety
of common sense and is surely well bred
She can laugh well and there is music
and soul and sunshine in it.

Where Oroers Seek Men.

Clyde Reed, division superintendent o.

ing the year Just closing. He says pros

IT. The country IS SO prosperous that

postmasters have resigned and where men

ually the government compels a man
TO keep the Office TIL his successor is Sc
lected and qualified. but the patience o.
some postmasters wear out and the gov
eminent takes pity on them and gives
them relief. The policy OF the govern
ment in Kansas IS TO not have so many
Offices. This is especially true In western

people can afford TO go a long distance

their mail sent 10 their large trading
points. where they go usually two or
three times a week. The rural mail de-
livery Is also a cause for the abandon

Went to Hear Paderewski.

sam Sargent once went to hear Pad
erewsSi at a concert IN Chicago. Now
Sam Acknowledges that he knows only
two tunes, --nnie Rooney and a Hot
Tine in the Old Town Tonight. But he
wanted to hear Paderewski. He was
seated In the Auditorium with women
twenty feet deep on all sides of him. He
listened to the first piece and thought
it was pretty good but when the women
all about him climbed into their chairs
and waved their handkerchiefs and began
10 scream, he was paralyZed. He thought
he had missed hearing the fine part and
he resolved that on the next piece he
would listen mighty carefully. The next
piece was a fuzzy wuzzy sort of a selec-
ton that he couldn't connect with at al.
lie watched a singularly beautiful young
woman in the seat just beside him, and he
believed that she didn't like the piece
either. and he was glad. But when Pad
erewski finished and bowed his wooliy
head to the audience, the women all
clanbered into the seats again and yell
ed. Some of them sighed; others moan
ed: others laughed Historically for joy
sam felt his reason lettering and he then
turned to the young woman whom he
thought was in the same seat beside
himself. He found her standing on her
seat. kind Of weaving to and fro and

Jessie Morrison Today.

Miss Jessie Morrison who was tried
twice at FL Dorado and sent to the pen
itentiary, It will be remembered. was to
take a trip east when she was released.
This she did not do. She returned to Fl
Dorado and is now living there quietly.
The sensation has passed now and her
figure on the street. when she walks
forth does not cause comment. It's an old
story TO everybody. The supreme court
will hear her case in January. The
court will simply review the record OF
the trial to find possible errors on the
part OF the court in the admission of GER
tain evidence and exclusion OF other testi-
mony. If the court finds error the case will
be sent back 10 Fl Dorado for new trial.
