cenfe East and West.

"There is always O scarcity Of pen
nies In the west" says an official Of
the Philadelphia mint, "and super
abundance Of them in the east. Every
little while the banks out there set up
g. hoot and cry for pennies, but our
banks here are ever glad to rid them
selves Of their surplusage in these
coins. 1t is difficult to see why such a
state Of things should be. I'm sure
penny is just as dear to the eastern
er's heart as to the westerner's. One
would no more throw penny away
than would the other, yet here we al
ways have too many pennies. There
they never seem to have enough"

Many dainty nose with beauty and

waited at the mention of plain, old fash
ioned salt mackerel, but never at the
salt mackerel as cooked by the famous
John Chamberlin Of Washington. His
testimony runs to this effect:
s'Take one or more 1nackerel and soak
about 4s hours, changing the water
once. Then put them in pan large
enough to hold them, cover them with
cream or the nearest you can get to it,
put in oven and cook until cream is
brown. This beats any mackerel cook
ing on earth."-New York Herald.

the citizens of Canon are of this mind

city and that it enjoys such a large
patronage is due to the admirable

The love of personal adornment is
Inherent in almost every human

dress. and the providing of this class
of adornment is an art in itself.
In many of our smaller cities the
people are obliged to journey to
metropolitan cities for their goods
but in Canon City this is absolutely
unnecessary. for the millinery parlors
of the above lady are certainly superb
