A prominent Philadelphia business
man, relates the Philadelphia Press. tells
this story:

scratched his initials on II Just over the

added those Of the hotel. Until 1896
he treasured the coin, then drew II out of
his pocket with handful of other change

had gone the mysterious way of all
money. A year ago he CHANGED, being
Of curious turn Of mind, to fan into
conversation one evening with a profess

streets. He upbraided the man for get
ting so much money for nothing.
"oh," said the beggar, Il 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 let

took the coin and examined 1t more
closely. Sure enough, there were his
own initials just above the feathers

years before. At once his prejudice
against begging vanished.

he cried.

herself so for the occasion of seeking
employment. She should have a clear,
healthy complexion and an amiable dis
position. Children retain early impress

their early life should be instinctively
refined and fairly educated, says the
American Queen.

soothing draughts to keep them quiet.
