HIS GENT CAME BACK.

Take an ordinary copper cent piece. stamp it with a private mark, put it into circulation, and what are the chances that you will ever see it again? There is one man who says that he tried the trick and succeeded at it. He is a business man and re- fuses to allow his name to be used in print about the story, but he tells the tale to many of his friends, and he youches for it's truth. In 1894, he says. he found a cent piece dated 1893 in the restaurant of the Lafayette. hotel. He pocketed it for luck, and, as a me mento of jolly little dinner, scratch ed his initials on 1t, just over the feathered head. while on the cheek he added those of the hotel Until 1896 he treasured the coin, then drew it out Of his pocket with a handful of other change, and before he realized it his cent piece had gone the mysterious way of all money.
 A year ago he chanced, being of a curious turn of mind. to fall into con- yersation with professional beggar at Broad and C-estnut streots. He up braided the man for getting so much money for nothing
 "Oh." said the beggar, 'I don't get so much That's all I've got in the last hour" And he held up cent piece.
 At that moment the electric light fell upon the coin, and the business man. to his amazement, caught sight of the letters HI. L." on the cheek of the face He took the coin and examined it more closely. Sure enough, there were his own initials just above the feathers, where he had placed them a half dozen years before.
 At once his prejudice against beg ging vanished.
 9TH give you dollar for that coin, he cried.
 The beggar grew weary at his eager ness and demanded $5. Needless to say he got it. and also, of course. the cent piece has never sincesM left tht business ..san's watch c@ain.-P Phila delrhia PrSc3

began to swim out into the lake. Quickly jumping into canoe the quartette start ed Driven by the lusty strokes of the guide and the camp proprietor the ca noe was not long in overriding the anil nal, who was making frantic efforts to escape across the lake.
 Upon reaching him Dyer, who was in the bow, seized the moose by the horns and the fun began. It was at this point that the most remarkable occurrence happened The party was about 100 yards from the shore when, on turning around, one of them saw two COW moose making out from the shore.
 The smaller animals soon overlook the big bull, who was sadly handicapped by having to drag the canoe full of people, and they began to swim alongside
 It was at this juncture, however, that the fun nearly became serious. As the four people, each one wanting to get a. better look at the big moose crowded forward into the bow of the frail craft, it nearly swamped, the bow coming per ilously near going under
 How MT. Berdeen got over the three people and, resting himself on the moose, held up the canoe, no one can tell, but he did, and for mile and half the big animal lowed the four people l in the canoe. while the two COW moose swan alongside All this time, too, the bow of the craft was being kept up by MT. Berdeen, who was supporting it on the moose's back. When the party had travelled as far as it wished and the moose was putting and blowing at a great rate, he was released, and the four occupants of the canoe said that it was a sight worth going miles to see the way that moose, even in, his winded condition, bumped himself and made the water fly getting across the remainder of the lake to the opposite shore

The president immediately held a conference with Secretary Hay and Assistant Secretary Loomis of the state department, Secretary of the Ma " Moody, Rear Admiral H. c. Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation, and Rear Admiral John Walker, chairman of the isthmian canal commission.
 It was learned that the administra- ton regards the provisional govern ment as stable. Recognition will of course not be extended formally until a permanent government has been in- stalled, but practical recognition has already been accorded the proclaimed republic by Commander John Hub bard, who exercised his good offices in bringing about the agreement of Gen. eral Tovar. There is no information here that the Colombian government has any more troops en route to the isthmus. It is not believed that they will send any. :. t>

"sKY FARM.

Tn Edward E. Kidder's beautiful ''Sky Farm which will be played at Polls tomorrow afternoon and even ing. the local public will be treated to play that has hardly an equal of it's stamp among the whole range of rural dramas and comedies, and it appeals in q particular way to well-minded people. About every type of charac- ter that can be found in a New Eng land village is pictured in this play by the author in the strongest pOssi- ble way. and it's many scenes are such as can be found in any hustling little New England community. The story centers around the home of the viii lage clergyman, the village postof1ce and big typical New England barn. While there are some periods in which pathos rules for a short time, fun and love are really. the controlling and all powerful clements of the whole piece. Prices are 9 and 50 cents for the mat inee. and in the evening the rates are 9, 8, 5O, 75 cents and $1.
