Small Coins Newer and Brighter

Small Coins Newer and Brighter.
"Have you noticed the improved
quality Of the coins now in circula-
tion? asked the trolley car conductor
as he pulled a handful of bright pen
MES, nickels and dimes from his pock-

"It's due to an effort on the part Of
the government to put better money
into circulation by recalling the worn
and shiny pieces from which the i'm
preston of the die has become effaced.
I've noticed for the past two years q
steady improvement in this respect.
All the banking institutions now
throw aside the coins that how decid-
ed traces of wear, and the treasury
department redeems these with new
ones. In England a soiled bank note

to be that way in this country with our
small coins."-Philadelphi Record.

In Society,".

A woman in society is obliged to
keep late hours. She must attend re-
ceptions and balls. She seldom allows
herself quiet evening at home. Her
whole time is taken upin keeping en-
gagements or entertaining in her own
home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been
called catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time,
if they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact
that Peruna is the tonic for run
down, depleted nervous system.

LEARN TO STAND STILL

How Best to Get Acquainted with the
Wildwood Folk.

to stand still. One night last summer
I got home rather late from q drive.
I had left several cocks Of hay spread
out In the little meadow. and after
supper, although it was already pretty
damp. I took the fork, went down and
cooked 1t. Returning. I climbed by a
narrow path through some pines and
came out into my pasture It was
bright moonlight night and leaning
back upon the short-handled fork, l
stopped in the shadows Of the pines to
look out over the softly lighted field.
OF in the woods, mile away, l
heard the deep but mellow tones OF
two fox hounds. Day and night all
summer long I had heard them, and all
summer long had hurried, now here,
now there. hoping for glimpse of the
fox. But he always heard me and
turned aside. The sound Of the dogs
was really musical. They were now
crossing an open stretch leading into
the meadow behind me. As leaned
listening, 1 heard a low. uneasy MUIR
muring from a covey of quail sleeping
in the brush beside the path, and be-
fore I had time to ask what it meant.
a fox trotted up the path behind me
and stopped in the edge Of the shadows
directly at my feet.

at my dew-wet boots, backed away and
looked me over curiously. I could have
touched him. Then he sat down, with
just his silver-tipped brush in the sill

The deep baying of the hounds was

But his time was up. The dogs were

warm trail. Giving me a half-unsatis
