Arsnt., welcome to the DUKE.


Great preparations were made in all
OF the Canadian cities for the reception
to the Duke of York on his recent Wis.,
1t to that country. In Toronto the
scheme of decoration included waving
banners which flew from poles set in
barrels of sand, all along the course
to be taken by the welcoming troops
and the Duke. These barrels had been
painted a bright red, and had been
placed in their proper positions when
the advance agent for theatrical com
pany came along. The company was
playing Faust" with a well-known
actor as Mephistopheles, and their adj
vertising was of a sensational kind.
The advance man realized that the
bright barrels made excellent stands on
which to paste his bills, and he pro-
ceeded to use them for that purpose.
In consequence, on the following
morning the city awoke to find each
barrel bearing a startling announce
ment, The Devil Is Coming" Every
one gasped and exclaimed, What a
greeting for the Duke!" Then the good
people Of Toronto turned to with a
will, removed the Objectionable
"snipes" and scrubbed the barrels,
while the enterprsing advance agent
suddenly discovered pressing reasons
for jumping Immediately to the next
town-New York Press.

If the government viii restore the
Pine-Tree shilling it will save many
of us financially and morally. The
shilling of New York and North Caro-
lima is what we need in the shape of
subsidiary coin. 1t was worth twelve
and a half cents. When two of any
thing are worth a quarter the charge
for one is fifteen cents. With a twelve
and half cent piece we would save
two and a half cents every time we
made such a purchase. A fifteen cent
piece would be in the way. We tried
a twenty cent piece for three years and
retired it because it was too nearly
the size of the quarter. In the rush
business 1t was often worked of for
the quarter The FIVE cent nickel is
At only for paying fares on elevated
roads and surface lines. Copper cents
are useful for buying newspapers and
fooling women into the belief that they
