The editor took the manuscript from
a pigeonhole in his desk and handed
1t to its author saying:

to the needs of The Sunny Smile. It's

Nine. Seveillez, a 5O-year-old widow
OF Paris, France, found a chance to
marry again last week. but. fearing
that the ghost of her husband might
disturb her sleep. she consulted a
spiritualist, and obtained permission

After several seances, in which
Nine. Sevelllez paid large sums to the
medium. the latter persuaded her to
keep locked up for three days and
nights in a dark room. placing all her
vsluables on a plate covered by a
cloth, on the table near by.
At the appointed time Nine. Sew
eillez. tired of waiting for her hus-
bands spirit. removed the covering
of the plate. and found all her valu-
ables gone and in their place a note
granting her permission to marry.
She has denounced the medium to the

Man builds a castle on a hill.
He makes a citadel or town
And ere the world may know his skill
Another comes to tear II down.
Yet, day by day and year by year,
Through all the changing centuries
While men appear and reappear,
God paints his sunsets on the seas.
Not all the years the world has known
Have changed the pattern of the stars
Though men in conflict for a throne
Have mapped the world with battle
scars,
Though men in their own blinded way
Have grown confused of wrong and
God gives them stiIl the golden day
And silent glory Of the night
He turns times record, page on page,
And writes his history the same.
While men blot out each bysone age
In mistiness OF fading fame.
In countless numbers men arise
And try their weakness or their force,
Yet calmly through the endless skies
The earth holds Its appointed course.
Mans dreams as deeds to him appear.
And dreamlike, deeds and words are
But day by day and year by year
We have the sunset and the dawn.
We never come to understand
The trenchant message brought by
God limns his sunrise on the land
And paints his sunsets on the seas.

said that the people at the resor, -
in the woods had been so alarmed by
the accidental shooting Of deer hunt
ers that they hardly dared stir from
the hotels. All sorts Of precautions
were taken, but the one used by Col.
Chauncey p. Williams of Albany is
the most unique thus far this season.
Mr.. Williams landed at Big Moose
station. Instead Of taking the buck

FACTS ABOUT THE COINAGE.
Director Of the Mint Gives Inforna4
ton as to Old and New Issues.


The director OF the mint is called
on to answer such a wide range OF
questions concerning the values Of
old and new coins and medals that
he has found it necessary TO issue
circulars covering matters OF this
sort. 1t tells some interesting facts
II appears that the mint does not buy
old coins or paper money except some
rare colonial coins in fine condition
which are desired for the mint cabi-
net.
Mutilated or uncurrent United
States gold and silver coin is pur-
chased as bullion. The mint has no
pattern pieces for sale. The govern
ment pays no premium for the return
of any OF its coins or paper money.
New coins cannot be struck until Ru.
thorized by an act of congress. The
mint supplies United States coins on
ly and not of any past date. The $50
gold piece and the half-dollar and
quarter-dollar pieces in gold were
struck by private parties on the Cali
fornia coast during the 1s4s period
and not by the United States gov
ernmsnt
The coinage of the following COINS
ceased in the years named: Half and
1-cent. copper, in 1857; 1-cent, nickel,
1864; half-dime and cents, silver,
and 2 cents bronze, in 1873; 20 cents,
silver, 1878: trade dollars, 1888; 81
and SO. gold. and 3 cents, nickel, 1889,
The Columbian half-dollar was coined
in 1893. The Lafayette dollar was
struck in 1899. tho date on the coin
1sOo) being that of the unveiling of
the memorial.
There are certain markings on ev-
cry United States coin that enable
the place of its coinage to be located.
Those struck at the Philadelphia mint
have no mint mark, but those struck
at all other mints are distinguishe' by
a small letter on the reverse. near the
bottom. These letters are: C for
Charlotte. N. C., discontinued in 1861 /;
&C for Carson City. New. discontinued
in 1893; d for Dahlonega. Ga, discon-
tinued in 1851; o for New Orleans
and for San Francisco.

authorized by law are: In gold, dou-
BILE eagle. eagle, half eagle and quar-
ter eagle; In silver, halfdollar, quar-

Practical Woman Explains How She
Has Time for Everything.

Has Time for Everything.
Il don't know how you manage It,"
said one woman to another, you al
ways seem to know what is going on
in the world. and to be able to read
your music. while l never have time
for anything but my children and my
housekeeping"
The other woman smiled. Il can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied. your family is smaller than
mine and we both have a housemaid
and cook. Suppose we talk it over"
1t turned cut in the discussion that
ensued that one woman got her fam
lily of young people up bright and
early, so that at breakfast time the
conversation could be about topics Of
worldwide interest. and then after
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch, and the mornings work
was done, she could take quiet hour
and read or practice. In fact, as re-
CARDS her reading. she was never
without book or magazine at hand
ready to be picked up IL even for a
moment, during the day.

OF the day she gathered together her
young people and read the most i'm
portant news and this was followed
by an informal discussion. This took
but a short time and the family thus
kept in touch with the doings OF the
great world. This woman realized
a truth that does not come to every
one, namely, that a good newspaper
is the connectlng-rod between provin-
clsllsm and cosmopolitanism, and
that. even II one live in a small place.
one need not be ignorant of the game
OF the nations.
Another line of conduct of this
wise woman was to have lying around
books of vital Importance, new books
OF note.
But books cost so much" cried the
other. I'VE never can afford them. We
depend upon the lending libraries"
But a dozen books from a library
never take the place OF one standard
work, always at hand when some
thing is needed, always there when
one is inclined to browse.
When the wise woman neard that
remark she smiled. What did you
pay for that Doulton vase you showed
me last week? The price of that
would cover the books buy for six
months. OF course we cannot afford
all the new and expensive books, but
there are an extraordinary number
of books everyone should know, pub
lished at a price within the reach OF
all of us. We do enjoy so much set.
Ting what we shall have and all the
children have their own ideas on the
subject"
But your general knowledge" pur-
sued the other. Il do not see how

jects as radium and Botticelll's paint
