is vexatious. However, 1t is not so bad
now in the way of exchanges as 1t was
in olden times.
1.-THE early Italians used cattle In

times send for change for a thousand

twenty-five pound sheep. or, perhaps.
If he wanted very small change, there
would be a few lambs sent back. The

"People often wonder where certain
monetary names come from. I'll tell

Formerly every gold watch weighed

Big Jim" Kennedy and who has been
as big a promoter of sports, six day
walking matches, six day bicycle races
and prize fights as was ever Barnum
in the field Of the circus, had the rep
utation of being a good hearted fellow,
says the New York Evening World.
While he liked a funny story and could
tell one. he never was personal in what
he said. He detested knockers" and
he also hated inquisitive people.
This story is told of Kennedy and a
curious man: A friend Of Kennedy's
had just died and the curious person
tried to find out what the mans finan-
cial condition had been.
Had a wife, hadn't he?" asked the
man, referring to the deceased.
YES" said Kennedy shortly.
Pretty rich. wasn't he?"
YES"
do you know what he left his wife,
asked the inquisitive one eagerly.

won't you tell me? I'll keep quiet
about it."
YES"
"Well," confidentially. what did he
leave herr"
"a widow" growled Kennedy, turn

"There is an old man up the state whom
I can't help admiring. This old man in
letter to the main office asked for rates,

traffic business. It was indicative of a
keen mind. Plainly its writer, provided
he got fair treatment, would become
valuable patron of the line.

miles through the cold to reach his house.
Arriving with some disappointment at
a small farm the lent took from his pock-

had spent half the night in compiling,
and he said to the old man:

SLEEPING LION STAYS TRIGGER,
Hunters Story of a Strange Impulse
Not to Shoot.

Hank Grider, a veteran hunter along
the great stretches of the Rocky Noun
tains, made a trip to Southern Cali
fornia in 1871, and ascended Old Baldy.
| Among his "reminiscences the follow
ing, related by himself, stands out as
the most singular:
One afternoon, while picking his
way carefully along the narrow ledge
high up on the mountainside, he came
upon a sleeping lion that lay with nose
between it's forepaws in sunny angle
Of the rock.
Grider was a dead shot, and raising
his rifle softly to his shoulder he drew
bead on the lion, directly between the
closed eyes. He had killed many ami
mails Of this sort, and knew exactly
where to send the lead into its brain.
nothing was surer than If he pressed
the trigger the great cat would pass
from sleep into instant death.
But, through some unusual impulse
as strange as it was unaccountable,

pom without shooting. Again he
raised the rifle, took deliberate aim,
and again lowered the gun without
firing.
He could not explain the reason for
this strange act, nor why he backed
softly off and retraced his way, leav-
ing the lion undisturbed. He had
never done such thing before In all
his mountaineering experience.
At length he sat down on the edge
of a boulder and cogitated long and
seriously over the queer matter.
"Now. what in thunder did do that
for?" he asked himself, over and over.

and that cat would have been too dead
to kick. just as sure as the sun sets
over that dirty little pueblo Of Los
Angeles down yonder. And to prove
it I'll just drop that eagle that his lit
on that point of rock across the canon"
He raised his rifle, took quick aim
at the bird and pulled the trigger.

there was a man who complained that
unworthy men were too frequently
elected to office.

II do not" he said.
"Then you have no right to kick"
they told him. 1T is the duty of ev-

chosen as candidates.
Whereupon he began attending the
primaries.
He worked faithfully for the NOM

candidates.
But it did no good.
The other fellows turned out In
greater numbers and outvoted him, and
bad men were nominated and elected
to office as before.
He felt that he had a right to kick
this time, and he complained again.

hearers asked him.

men, and you are responsible for them"

lands because Of rich phosphate deposits.
A speculator asked one of those simple
Florida folk what would be the lowest
price he would take for some land, which
before the boom he had been un-
able to sell for $50. The owner really
didn't know. The speculator agreed to
deposit in bank $4,000 to the owners

money in bank didn't mean very much
