"The weight of money is very de-

her weight In gold. He assured me
that he certainly did think so, and
after learning that her weight was LOG
pounds we figured that she would be
worth in gold s2s,O47. The young man
was fond enough OF her to think that
was rather cheap.

people," he continued. lis the weight

'Thc question afterward was put to
several people and elected answers all

guessing from 300 10 500
Taking the weight OF gold coins and

cd that FIVE dollar goldpiece weighs

ployee at the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 bills
weigh four and one-half ounces. That
would make one bill weigh As OF an

Hailing each other with humor and

How the gay sleighs like meteors fash
