lifted that young man squarely on his
feet and dragged him to the platform,
and b1urted out:
Here, Miss Irving, whale the life
out of him, and keep whaling till he
remembers he is a gentleman" Miss
Irving reached a trifle viciously for

and she sobbed aloud, openly and
audibly, where all the school could
hear.
An awful hush fell upon the room
prepared for and could parry, but
tears-that was taking an unfair adj
vantage.
Finally Hal said: Look here, the
next chap that bothers that girl will
have me to reckon with"
The next day Halls desk was near
the teachers platform, and order,
while not perfect, was miraculous con-
sidering. A few boys were kept in
during recess. At the close of school
she proposed to keep in few others.

you go home; you need rest" Then
he whispered, embarrasedly, They
won't bother you tomorrow
And they didn't, and between Miss
Irving and Hal things went along so
smoothly and the children learned SO
rapidly. that Succonotchie speaks of
it to this day.
Under such circumstances teaching

HOLES IN COINS.
Thrse-Cent Pieces Will Have a Mark OF
Indicate Their Value.

Three-Cent Pieces Will Have a Mark OF
Indicate Their Value.
The United States is about to begin
the coinage of a Scent piece for use
particularly in the west and southwest
1t will be of nickel, about the size of
a scent piece, but in the center of it
will be a hole about a quarter of an
inch in diameter. This will enable one
to distinguish it by the feel even in
the dark. As is well known, only the
gold coins are made on a basis of
value equal to their denominations
The cent, for instance, is not worth,
as metal, a fraction Of that amount
The nickel is not either. All are
stamped from blanks which the gov
eminent buys by contract. Silver
coins were originally of the same value
as the metals, but silver has dropped
so that a cart Wheel dollar is only
worth about SO cents. Gold is worth
cent for cent. With the beginning of
the new year a new series of coinage
began. All the old dies with 1900 on
them were destroyed-that is, the face
was. On New Years day more than
200 of the dies were made useless:
the faces were ground or them with
an emery wheel Ever since then
brand-new dies have been used. These
mints and the work of destroying their
faces and reworking new ones was
done at the Philadelphia mint.

A Song in Winter.

, robin sings the leaf1ess spray.
Hey. no. winter will go.
Sunlight shines ON the desolate way,
And under my feet
1 feel the beat
OF the worlds heart that never L. still.
Never is still,
Whatever may stay.
Hey, no, winter will go,
A delicate sheen
OF budding green,
Then, silent, the dawn o summer breaks.
AS morning breaks
Ger valley and hight
The tide Gibbs out, and the tide flows
back;
Hey. no. winter VIII go!
Though heaven be screened by stormy
rack,
1t rains, and the blue
Comes laughing through;
And cloud-like, winter goes from the
earth,
Goes from the earth
That flowers in his track.
Sing, robin, sing on your leafiess spray.
Hey, no. winter will go,
Sunlight and song shall shorten the way,
And under my feet
1 feel the beat
OF the worlds heart that never is still,
Never is still.
Whatever may stay

come pale and flmy.
One Saturday Hal brought a pony
over for Miss Irving to ride, saying
she needed the exercise. She replied:
why, Hal. can't ride"
But you can learn" he answered.
That's what you tell me when I get
tangled up in my algebra
He led the pony at first, but finally
throwing the reins over it's neck, he
mounted his own horse, and rode slow
ly by her side. He swung himself
into the saddle with such grace, and
looked SO manly, that he attracted her
admiration. Heretofore she had
thought of him as kind. Now it oc-
CURED to her she had never seen
handsomer young man.
One Saturday when the March sun
shine was fiinging through every in
terstice in the pine boughs little fluffy
| golden plumes of light, and the air
was breathing balm, he took her fish
| ing down on the Pinoshook.
The girl was too busy with the low-
| ers to do much fishing, and Hal-he
| was too busy watching her to do much
more. And they could not keep from
| laughing and talking and being noisy
and happy. They were both aston
| ished that the noon came so soon and
| their string of fish was SO small, and
| they were a little confused, too, when
Halls mother commented on their nom
success.
| A few days before the school was
| to close, Miss Irving received letter
from her mother telling her some rail-
road stock which her father had owned
had unexpectedly risen in value, and
| she would not be compelled to teach
| any more. A sudden joy flooded her
heart at this prospect Then she be-
| gan to think how pleasantly the time
| had passed in Succonotchie; how kind
| all the people had been, and was there
| ever such a young man as Hal? She
had never seen a stronger and finer
young man. Was it possible all these
people were going to drift out OF her
j life? Would she never see Hal any
| more?
For some reason. she did not tell
the people she was not coming back
to Succonotchie, but Hal and the 9TH
ers knew of course she would go home
on a long vacation. During the last
few days of school his eyes actually
logged her, and they had such a long
ing appeal in them she hated worse
| than ever to think of not coming
back She wished he would not look
at her So She was a trifle afraid OF
him. She had never failed to do what
ever he had told her to do. True, he
| always used his power for her COM
| fort, but suppose he should ask some
thing for himself? What then?
She wished the old railroad stocks
as far as she was concerned. had not
risen in value She ought to teach.
A woman should do something in the
world. She had been toll Hal had
never studied, had never cared fol-
anything, until she came 70 Succo-

she felt with the proper t. ching and
encouragement he would make a great
man She had even dreamed of see

would he apply himself?

How pleasant those rides had been!

Curious Effect of Lightning Flash.

The following story, printed in the
Electrical World, describes an unusu-
ally complicated. case of cause and
effect, and demonstrates the danger of
keeping loaded firearms neer tele-
phone receivers: In the town of Batey-
Vile, in southern Louisiana, A. Gaut-
reaux conducts store, dealing in
diversified merchandise. Mr.. Gaut-
reaux has his store equipped with q
double-barrel!ed shortgun and tele-
phone. The combination seems to
have worked we'll until the other day,
when thunderstorm passed over Ba-
teyville, and lightning bolt made its
wav into the store over the telephone
wire. The electricity leaped from the
transmitter to the shortgun and caused
the discharge of both its barrels.
Two heavy charges of buckshot be-
took themselves through the side OF
the building, narrowly escaped a group
of men gathered for shelter to the lee
ward of the store, and roceeded INTO
the landscape. The episode would
ordinarily have ended here, but a Mr..
p. Ayre. in neighboring shed, much
startled by the explosion of the gur,
in his excitement and a'arm grasped
With a frantic clutch a rapidly re-
volvine buzz-saw near which he was
working, and s7 result lost several
fingers and severely mangled both
hands.

HOW MANY ?


What schemes Of empire every day are
planned,
Never to be;
What golden ships are every hour
manned,
And lost at sea.
What brilliant hopes do every minute
rise majestical,
To longed-for goals of fair and sunny
skies,
From which they fall.
What bright new dreams are dreamed
away In peace
That lasts not long,
What fond desires yearning for release.
Are breathed in song.
What songs are sung that vanish with
tho day, .=..x
In darkest night,
What daring spirits forever pass away,
In bitter fight.
