Clever London Cabby,

A London "cabby'' says that once
two distinguished strangers hailed him
at Westminster palace and bade him
drive at top speed to Marlborough
house. After a moment of recollection
he recognized the Prince of Wales and
his friend the King of Belgium. An
awkward attempt at an obeisance from
the box was promptly rebuked, and
the cabby settled down to his business
of driving his royal guests as fast as
a hanson may 60 in London streets.
They stopped at Marlborough house
and it was time to pay. Well driven.

slot Machines Driyine4a; Nut ulateds Coin
Out of Circulation. .
Inc telephone slot machines. are
doing an enormous work in the mat
ter OF taking WORKOUT dimes out of
clrcula1lon, said treasury official to
a Star reporter. There is nothing to
prevent worn-out, mutilated and al
most smooth dimes from being put
into the slots, and as a result manv
persons keep the WORKOUT dimes for
That particular purpose. Many drug
gists and others who keep public tele-
phones make no objection to taking
mutllated dimes any more for the rea-
son that they keep a supply on hand
to do telephone business with. When
they see that telephone user is going
to put new dime in the slot they
simply take it. in and hand a worn
out dime in exchange. Of course the
telephone user makes no objection,
and in goes The WORKOUT or mutilated
coin. After it gets in there the tele-
phone companies do the rest. Every
time they get quantity on hand, for
the government does not care to bother
with sums Of less than $100, they send
them to sub-treasury and in Wash
ington to the treasury department di-
rest for redemption. The result is that
through the telephone companies alone
over $1,000 worth of mutilated or
wo1n-out dimes are redeemed each
week. Business people have already
begun to notice that the great major
ity of the dimes now in circulation are
in much better. condition than they
were even six months ago. In a lesser.
degree the redemption of a great guam
tity of quarters and halves is effected
through the long-distance telephones ''.

PET DOGS ARE TATTooED.
Fashionable Fad That Will Doubtless

= decidedly novel occupation which
has of late been noticed is that Of
tattooing the names of their owners
upon dogs, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. Several months ago there ap-
peared in northwest Baltimore young
man who is engaged in that pursuit
and during the time he remained here
he did good business Among the
dogs which underwent the operation
is a pretty little fox terrier belonging
to Charles F. Wohrna, which rejoices
in the name of Booze and a fine bred
bull terrier, Jip, the property of the
Chesapeake Brewing Company. Both
animals bear upon their breasts,
where the hair grows thinnest, the
names of their respective owners.
Contrary to the belief of some that
the operation is a cruel. painful one,
those who have seen it performed de-
clare that the animals apparently ex-
perlenced very little pain. The oper-
alton lasts about fifteen minutes. The
animal is usually held by two men,
one having hold of the hind legs,
while the ot.',r holds the front paws.
With set of very fine needles the op-
orator then goes to work, deftly prick
ing the letters into the skin, just deep
enough to draw a few drops of blood.
Then he pours the Indian ink all over
the wounds, or, rather, scratches, and
the operation is over. In few weeks
the sores are completely healed and
the animal bears, during the remain
der OF its existence an unmistakable
mark of Identification The price Of
the operation is SO cents.

Miss Anna Gilbert was the teacher
of drawing and painting in the Girls
college at Madisonville, and was more
beloved than any teacher of the col

which the girls had given her, Saint
