THE COPPER PENNY.
1t Is Slowly Making Its Way Into the
Mining Regions of Montana

1t Is Slowly Making Its Way Into the
Mining Regions of Montana.
The copper penny will soon be in
circulation in Butte, Mont. 1t wasn't
so many years ago, says the Anaconda
Standard, that the two-bit piece was
the smallest coin that circulated in this
neck of woods, and Butte got along
very prosperously as a town in which
there was no circulating medium of
less denomination than rs cents. Grad
ually nickles and dimes came into cir
culation, and now there is a strong
probability that before long the cop
per cents will be jingling in the pock-
cts of Buttes citizens, and will be Civ
en- over the counters of Butte business
houses in change.
What makes this innovation prob
able is the fact that several of Butte's
business houses in the past year or
two have inaugurated the scheme of
selling goods with an "odd" price-that
is to say, they have inaugurated the
SO and 48 cent methods of catching
trace from those who look close at
business houses sells a certain article
for 40 cents, and receives a half dol
lar in payment for it, the house does
not give the customer copper cent,
but instead gives the customer a lit
tie envelope, which on being opened Is
stamp. In case two cents in change is
coming to the customer an envelope is
given containing a two-cent postage
stamp, and so on. So far as known
no business house has yet inaugurated
the plan of giving pennies, yet it is
manifestly more convenient to handle
pennies than to handle the postage
stamps.
There will be general regret when
the copper cent gains its foothold in
Butte. But it is bound to come. It
is more persistent than the Russian
thistle. The copper penny has nearly
completed the conquest of the great
west. From Chicago it travelled to
Omaha and st. Paul as basis of OPP
erations, it has been slowly but surely
conquering its way toward Montana. 1t
flooded Western Montana, and then
penetrated the Dakotas. Information
is that it has gained foothold in
Eastern Montana, and can be seen oc-
casionally as far into Montana as
Billings and Livingston. Furthermore
the copper penny jumped from the
east clear to the western coast, and
can be found in several of the coast
towns. Thus the small remaining ter
ritory in which the copper penny is
still unknown is threatened by invasion
from both the east and the west. Butte
will have to make up it's mind to ac-
cept it later, If not sooner.

a PosOn Brokers' JOB.

Senator Wagner has introduced in
the New York legislature bill for the
regulation of certain loan associations
and pawnbrokers which is important
enough to be of national interest At
present pawnbrokers may charge per
cent month for the first six months
and per cent a month thereafter on
loans not exceeding 500, and 2 per
cent month for the first six months
and per cent a month thereafter on
all larger sums. The Wagner bill all
lows them to charge 8 per cent a month
for the first two months and 2 per cent
a month thereafter on all amounts up
to $780, which is the largest loan per-
mitted. But the Wagner bill also per-
mits the pawnbroker to charge a sum
not exceeding So for the first examina-
ton OF property to be pledged, and for
drawing and filing the necessary pa
pers. On loan of $50 for one month
that would amount to 6 per cent in ad-
dition to the legal interest Of per
cent. On loan of SO upon the we'd
ding ring pawned by drunkard's wife
1t would amount to 100 per cent.

NEW MINISTER TO GREECE

Charles S. Francis, prominent Troy
journalist, was recently nominated by
President Mckinley to be envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary
to Greece. Mr.. Francis is son OF
John NJ. Francis, founder of the Troy
Times, and who was minister to
Greece under President Grant. During
his fathers residence In Athens Mr..
Francis was his secretary. He is a
graduate of Cornell university. AS
student and as alumnus he has been
one of the most prominent representa-
lives of Cornell in boating. While at
college he repeatedly won the single
scull championship of the university,
and in 1876 he won the intercollegiate
single-scull championship at Saratoga
lake, making time which still stands
as the worlds intercollegiate record
two miles in 13 minutes and 42A Sec
onds.
Mr.. Francis, who learned the print
er's trade at the case in the composing
room of his fathers newspaper, was
successfully reporter, city editor and
manager of the Troy Times, in 1881
acquiring proprietary interest. In
1887 he became an equal partner with

Mr. John II. Rogers, who had charge
Of the Baltimore Red Cross society cell
ebration which was held at the Music
Hall on the night of Dec. 81, is some
what of traveller, says the Baltimore
Sun. He says that he has been around
the world five times and has crossed
the Atlantic forty-six times Mr.. Rog-
ers says that In going around the world
there Is scarcely one traveller In a
hundred who remembers that in going
from east to west a day is gained and
that in going from west to east a day
Is lost. Many of those who come into
contact with this truth knew all about
1t when they were at school, but never
think of 1t on the high seas. In Illus
tration of the point he tells this story:
MY first trip around the world was
from England to Australia. Out in
the middle of the Pacific a sign was
put UP announcing that the date was
Thursday. July II, This was all right,
but the next day the same sign was
put up again. This was an opportunity
for those of us who thought we were
real wise to show the ships officers that
they were not infallfbIe After we had
expended our choicest sarcasm and had
been rebuffed by various officers, the
captain set us straight. On my way
back one day the card went up an
nouncing that it was Saturday Aug.
ID. The next day the sign said Mon
day, Aug. is. Two ministers on board
thought the captain, somewhat pro-
fame old salt. skipped day to avoid
the religious services which they had
prepared. He convinced them that 1t
was mere coincidence that on that
particular date the lost day was Sum
day. Since then have never attempt
ed to teach the ships navigator his

SAYINGS and DOINGS
Married Her CosgboH.

There was romantic wedding in
South Dakota recently, when Miss
Grace Howard, the attractive daughter
OF Joe Howard. the New York CORE
spondent whose letters are so deserv-
eddy popular, became the wife Of Jo-
seph Manore. the manager of her cat
tie ranch.
In 1887 Miss Howard left the east
and went to Dakota. where Q estah-
lished an Indian mission school ,even-
teen miles north of Chamberlain, or
the Crow Creek and Winnebago reserv-
alton. The school was named Grace
mission in honor of her. After the
first two years the school was trans
