CHANGING A QUARTER.
1t Takes Just Seventy Cents Ia small
Coins TO Do the Trick I'm
Eleven Ways.

How much does it take TO change
a quarter?" asked the bartender, ac.
cording to the Philadelphia Record
"Twenty-five cents, Ell? Not on your
life. 1t takes 20 cents TO do the trick
How many ways do you suppose a
quarter-dollar can be changed? just
exactly II.
"A fellow of limited means may like
the jungle of coin in his clothes. In
that event you can give him % pennies
or 20 pennies and one nickel, suppos-
ing he wants to get a beer. He may
like to have a little sprinkling of sill
yer in his clothes and you can accom-
modate him with Is pennies and a
dime, or ten pennies, dime and a
nickel. If he prefers to have change
handy for beer and car fare, why
Is pennies and two nickels will fix
him up, and If he wants a cigar in
addition, besides having a little stock
of cash in his jeans, give him ten pen
MES and three nickels. That makes
six ways. Now then. n fellow with
a quarter can trade it off for five pen
MES and two dimes, five pennies and
four nickels, two dimes and one nickel,
one dime and three nickels, or five
nickels, just as he prefers And to
accommodate him in any way that he
might select you have to possess 25
pennies, two dimes and five nickels-
10 cents in ALL"

MONKEYS ARE DANGEROUS.
keepers in the Philadelphia Zoo
Take Precautions Before En-
terinE Their Cage.

Monkeys are not classed as savage
animals, but, nevertheless, the keep
ers at the ZOO are as chary of entering
A monkey cage as they are of going
INTO the domicile of the leopdrds or
any of the smaller species Of the cat
.ribe. The monks" in spite of their
apparent friendliness, are treacher-
Gus crew, and many an unwary keeper
has nursed painful wounds as result
of boldly yenturing into the apart
ments allotted to the simians.
4, little precautionary action is nee
essary to protect even the man who
feeds them should he have occasion TO
enter he dens. The monkeys will CON
certedly attack anyone who ventures
among them, and by force of numbers
will endanger the life Of he bold Wis
itor
Whenever keeper desires to go
among the animals he first gives utter
ance TO a kissing sound. The hered-
itary enemy of the monk" is the
snake, and at the first hiss the little
animals will scale the heights of the
cage in terror. By a iudicous use OF
the awe-inspiring sound the attendant
can keep the monkeys out Of the way
for a brief period. When a long stay
in the cage is necessary, says the Phila-
deIphia Record, the keeper generally
borrows a bull snake, a harmless but
formidable-looking variety, from the
reptile house, and with this coiled
about his waist is safe from any covert
attack while at work.

A Physician Testifies.

Il have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used anything in my
life that did me the good that did, says
County Physician Geo w Scroggs of
Hall County, Ga. Being physician
| have prescribed it and found it to
give the best results. If the food You
eat remains undigested in your stomach
it decays there and poisons the system.
You can prevent this by dieting but
that means starvation. Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure digests what you eat. You
need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor
starvation The worst cases quickly
cured. Never fails. f. c. Buerstatte.

1t is said that 1902 will witness not
only a splendid coronation, but also
kings marriage. Alfonso XIII. of
Spain is already older than were many
of his ancestors when they assumed
the cares and possibilities of mat.
rimony, and the fact that his elder
sister IAN heiress), the princes OF
the Austras, expects to present her
husband with prince or princess in
December makes the Spanish people
anxious to see their sovereign safely
married. The youthful kings choice
is limited to Roman Catholic prin-
cesses, but the kaiser, who seems to
have time for everything, is looking
out for a suitable wife for his young
"brother."

HAVE MANY ROYAL CHAIRS.
some Monarchs Can Find an En-
throned Seat Wherever
They May Go.

The thrones of monarchs of the old
royal palaces. That is, some po-
tentates can boast of more than one
such piece of ornamental furniture.
For instance, Great Britain has no
distinctive and exclusive throne. In
stead there are four-the wooden
chair, with the slab of Scotch stone,
in Westminster abbey, which has
served as the coronation seat of the
monarchs of this realm for seven cen
turtles; the sumptuous chair of state
in the house of lords; the chair on
which the late queen sat when hold
ing drawing-room in buckingham
palace, and the gilt armchair at
Windsor in which the sovereign sits
to receive letters of credence or re-
call from foreign ENJOYS or accord
audience to duslty potentates.
The ear of Russia is even more
diversely throned. Each of a dozen
chairs of state are at various times
styled the Russian throne. The two
most remarkable are the chairs of
Ivan the Terrible and the one in st.
Georges hall of the winter palace at
St. Petersburg. The former is OF
turquoises. In the back alone there
are 10000 of these gems. The other
chair is of costly woods, with ivory
and gold, richly jeweled and EN-
bossed with the imperial eagle. The
seat is of ermine and the arms are
ivory tusks.
Farther east, in Teheran, the shah
displays himself on a white throne
looted from Delphi in 1899. 1t is of
ivory, overlaid with gold, and ablaze
with gems, its value being estimated
at over & 100000.

Lieutenant
Lafferty's Lie
BY MRS. MOSES P. HANDY.


7 CLAIM to be truthful man, said
the ex-lieutenant. If any man
were to call me a liar, | should do my
best to knock him down, regardless
of consequences; nevertheless, l be.
ieye that there are times in the lives
of most women and men when lie
is not only justifiable but praisewor-
thy; times when it is best for the
peace and happiness of all concerned
to let Truth lie at the bottom of her
well and not monkey with the pump
handle.
When we were in Cuba 1 got TO be
great friends with one of the other
lieutenantS in my battalion. He, En-
len, was a winsome fellow, the sort
of man whom most men and all
women, take to.
True, there were not many women
of the right sort within reach, still
there were a few. Chief among them
were the daughters of Don Miguel
Cardoza, Cuban patriot, whose
ranch was within easy reach of our
camp, and who was hospitality itself
to the American officers.
His son was a captain in the Cuban
army; | knew him well. Don Miguel
owned acres upon acres of land, and be-
fore the war must have been immensely
wealthy; even now, in spite of Span
ish fines and robberies, he was rich,
and the land of course, was still
there.
He had two daughters. The eld-

Mrs. Wordsworth, the wife of the
English poet laureate, was a woman
universally beloved, and distinguished
for that personal beauty which
caused her husband to describe her
as "a phantom of delight"
She was a capital story-teller, and
related her anecdotes with a strong
Westmoreland accent which added
much to the telling. One of her
stories. and one in which she took
great delight, went to illustrate the
pride of county families.
A Mr. H and Miss p had
been recently married. Both were
from old north couatry families
They were going to their first dinner
party after their marriage, and at
the announcement of dinner, the lady
was about 10 enter the drawirg-room
in advance of her husband, when that
pompous individual res trained her
with a grand flourish, and said:
stop, madam, if you please. The
rs were always before the
F-'s."
And thereupon the lady fell back in
confusion. and the proprieties of
country family distinction were vim
dicated.-Youth's Companion.
