How many people know that the fo-
male head ON our penny is that OF an
American woman who was for many
years celebrated for her beauty and
goodness? Her name was Sarah Long
acre Green. and she lived in Philadei-
phia, and this was the way her head
haIr<ned to b put on the penny. When
| she was . little girl only five or siK
years old. delegation Of Indians visit
ed Warrington to pay their respects to
| the big Chief" and afterwards vent
over to Philadelphia. While there thoy
visited the Mint, and n Sarah's father
was Q nas engravsY. and had some Off
ciAl coAaection with the Mint. he saw
tha Indians and invited them to call
at his house. This the Indians did.
and took q great fancy to nttle Sarah.
who was very friendly with them. One
of the chiefs in a spirit Of fun took of
his heAddress and Put 1t on her head.
and the little girl, instead Of being
| frightened, appreciated the joke and
paraded around the room with tho
| thing of feathers and gay beads ON her
head. Someone present was so struck
with the artistic beauty Of Sarah In her
| Indian headdress. that he sketched hep
| on the spot, and the sketch was en-
1 graved by her father. About that time
the present-day penny was ready to be
1 issued but It had not been decided what
should be put on its face. Sarah's
| father entered the sketch Of his little
/ daughters head in competition. which
was accepted, and its imprint soon af-
/ ter appeared in the neat little pennies
which we have been using for SO many
/ years.
