Millions of Pennies.


What becomes of the millions of PEN
MES coined each year by the govern
ment is an unsolved problem. To sup
ply the demand the mint at Philadel-
pha must keep on turning out new
pennies at an average rate of 100000
per month. This useful little coin has
| its beginning, of course, in copper
| mine. BY the process of smelling the
copper is separated from the iron or
! lead or silver in the ore and is bought
by agents who sell it 10 a firm in
Waterbury, Conn, who are under con-
tract to supply the government with
copper blanks-that is, pennies I'M
stamped. At Waterbury the new cop
per is melted and mixed with tin and
zinc, according to a recipe prescribed
by the Treasury department at WASH
ington, and then hardened into bricks
These are cut into slices the thickness
of a cent and the strips are passed
through machines with punches that
work up and down with enormous pres
sure and stamp out the little round
disks just the size of penny. These
blanks are put up in strong boxes and
sent by express to the mint at Phila-
delphia, where they are stamped with
the head on one side and the denoml-
nation on the other.

T was to be the mildest possible
form Of the folly-an elopement
reduced to the absolute mini
mum of indiscretion. The two
young people had planned it with
such self denying care that, in the
words Of the prospective bridegroom,
there was nothing left of it except the
minister's fee" No thrilling flight, no
penitent return, no fear of paternal
wrath or joy Of forgiveness formed
any part of the prospect. The secret
was never to be revealed at all.
Some years later there would be a
bumptuous wedding, one of those So
eiety events whose distressing public
ity steals half the sanctity from mar
riage, since those who are united be-
fore the braZen face of fashion may
well forget into what Presence they
have really come to make their VOW.

that this second ceremony was super
fluous in the sight of heaven.

I'll Never Write,

Or obvious subjects for my song:
OF fashions fads 1 won't indite;
I'll never write about pingpongl
The growing habit 1 asperse,
For not a paper meets my sight
But pingpong's praises twill rehearse
In doggerel till I'm sickened quite
My anger rises to its height;
l will not join the twaddling throng
And on my record cast a blight;
I'll never write about pingpong!
Though 'tw0uld put money in my purse

To start on such unworthy fight.
Though I've ideas new and bright,

BhUDENCE MEL HEIR LOfEh In THE GARDEN.
supreme bench Of the state. She had
attained the age of eighteen years I'M
der the most favorable conditions, eX-
cept that she bore the name of the
virtue of Prudence, which she de-
spised.
But for a long habit of rebelling
against her name she might not have
fallen in love with Arthur Rowan, a
somewhat dazzling youth, who was
spending the summer as the guest of
his uncle, neighbor of Judge Prior.
Rowan was just out of college, where
he had been a fair student and a great
swell at the sports. His manner had
the keen SAVIOR Of early success and the
assurance that comes of triumphant
popularity. Prudence thought him the
greatest creature ever born.
Now, the judges mind foated in Sc
rene heights of scholarly and pure re-
search, but he had an eagle eye to see
the fiat earth's surface and especially
that portion Of it where his daughter
walked with innocent feet amid the
roses and the thorns of youth. He be-
out a certain approval, but he was in
no hurry to have him for a son-in-law.
So the judge issued an injunction re-
straining his daughter and Mr.. Rowan
from considering themselves engaged.
He ruled that no contract existed be-
tween them or could exist for a period
Of two years. The Prior family was
going abroad in the fall and would
spend at least eighteen months and
perhaps twenty-four in foreign lands.
Rowan stated that this fact was al
ready known to him; that he would be
quite satisfied to be engaged to Miss
Prior meanwhile and would not insist
upon marrying her Immediately. But
the judge would not grant or even con-
slider this plea. Instead he perempto-
rily adjourned the hearing for two
years.
The result Of this was panic. Cou-
pied with some hint of Mrs. Prior's
preparation for social conquests abroad,
1t bred in Rowan's excited mind the
conviction that Prudence was to be
taken over seas to be the prey of some
dissolute and bankrupt noble. Out of
this absurdity grew the plot of a secret
marriage. and Prudence was beguiled
into acquiescence by such arguments
as we forget the force of when we
grow old.
The plan was simplicity itself. They
were merely to skip across lots in the
edge of the evening from the Prior res
idence to house where young cler-
gyman, a newcomer in the town. had
taken lodgings. He would not know
them and would lend a ready ear to
some romantic fiction which they
would devise. They could be home
again in twenty minutes, and no one
would ever be the wiser.
1t was a gloomy evening when Pru-
dence, trembling with excitement, met
her lover in the garden. He himself
was little short Of babbling lunacy, for
q partial realization of the seriousness
of the affair had come to him as he
waited with a suddenness that had
Jared his wits. When she came fut-
tering along the dark path, he seized
her hands and kissed her hastily on
