SMALL com DEMAND.

That the demand for small change to
supply the retail trade is rapidly in
creasing is shown by a statement is
sued by superintendent Landis OF the
United States Mint. This demand is
generally taken as q criterion of the
prosperous condition of the United
States and is considered one of the
most accurate gauges. The following
figures represent the smaller coinage at
the Mint since President Roosevelt be-
came President: s5,54O.0O0 in half-dol-
lars, $500, 900 in quarter-dollars, $5,-
800, 900 in dimes, $4,000, 900 in nickels and
s., 500 900 in cents. This makes total
of $4,000, 900 in subsidiary silver and
minor coins during the three years. The
nickel coinage during the three years
mentioned represents about one-fifth
of the entire nickel coinage Of the coun-
try, and the cent coinage represents
about one-seventh of the entire cent
coinage since the organization OF
the Federal Government.-Phila

WHEN A woman RUNS.

Professor Mason of Washington says
that woman is not built for running,
adding that "she may walk like a god
dess, but she runs like hen." There is
good ground for the outspoken Pro-
fessor Mason's remark, as contempor-
ary observation discloses, but one can
not justly attribute it to any more deep
seated reason than skirts. Diana, who
would hardly give unto the flying hart

foot races, and Professor Mason should
attribute woman's (allegedD hen-like
gait to the fashion of her clothes rather

MORGAN'S START.

The foundation OF the great wealth
Of ]. P. Morgan was laid by the great
fire which swept New York City in
1885. At that time Mr.. Morgan's
father was a youth OF Is years and
dry goods clerk in Hartford and his
grandfather was a modest innkeeper.
He was the proprietor of the City Ho-
tel in Hartford. When the flames
swept New York in 1885 one Of the fire
insurance companies Of Hartford was
known to be heavy loser. 1t had not
then become so great a financial insti-
tuition that it could face such a loss
without misgivings. Many stockholders
became alarmed and offered shares at
great sacrifice.
As usual, such topics were discussed
in the hotel corridors and Mr.. Morgan
was offered much stock nearly as a
gift John Warburton, who was then
one of the wealthiest men in the cOun-
try, advised him to take all he could
get at these prices and advanced the
money to him. The innkeeper began
buying and soon had bought a major
ity of the stock at prices ranging from
21s to 10 cents on the dollar. Six lead
ing men of Hartford then signed a note
for 100000, discounted it at the Hart
ford Bank and placed the proceeds at
the disposal Of the insurance company.
The company met all of it's loses and
wrote large amount of new business.
The result was a great boom for the
company and Mr.. Morgan found him
self worth s150.000 when the tangles
were Strengthened out
Mr.. Morgan's first thought was for
his son, who was working as a dry
goods clerk. He decided that his son.
Junius s. Morgan. should become
merchant. An interest was bought for
him in a large mercantile house in
Boston. The firm prospered and in a
few years young Morgan sold his in
terest for 100000. He continued in the
mercantile business for several years
longer, however, and increased his for
tune to the extent of 100000 Junius
s. Morgan then determined to 20 to
London, where he became a partner OF
George Peabody, the American banker
There he adhered to the same strict In
tegrity which had made him successful
in his native country, and he began to
train his son. ]. Pierpont Morgan, In

for years In the foreign exchange de-
partment Of his fathers banking

believed to be worth more than $780,

THE READY REMEDY

When trouble after you doth chase
Why, turn and stare her In the face,
And smile;
And she will hurry from your sight,
A smile will fill her full Of fright;
So smile.
When worry hustles after you
And dyes the world brilliant hue,
Just smile.
A grin will drive her far away,
So let your laughter muscles play,
And smile.
