Counterfeit SJ Silver Certificate
 Makes Its Appearance.

Washington, Dec 29.-A counter felt $5 silver certificate which has made it's appearance in Philadelphia has just been discovered by the sa- cret service bureau. It is of the series of 1899 and bears the portrait of an Indian chief.
 Possibly the easiest way to ideHti- fy the counterfeit is by the fact that the shading under the words United States of America" looks like a pick ct fence in very bad repair instead of being regular in it's formation. Some of the words are imperfectly formed, the words This certificate is receivable" etc, being very badly reprOduCed.

A STORY OF MILLIONS.
The Way One Man Had q Fortune
 Thrust Upon Him.

A story is told of how the reluctant giving of a promissory note by pennl. less New York lawyer brought for tune into his pocket amounting to sev. eral millions. The man referred to John M. Blxby. went to New York fl 1S30 from backwoods district as a half starved lawyer. To pay si week for board and washing kept him on the verge of bankruptcy. He struggled on for year or two and was constantly seeking odd jobs outside of the law to enable him to exist when n friendly lawyer in whose office he had desk room called him aside one day
 Here is a chance for you. Bixby,' said the lawyer. "I have m estate to settle and must get rid of the farm on the north side of the city. It is ap- praised at S200. You can have it at that figure"
 T have not a dollar to my name" " exclaimed Bixby.
 You can give me your note, md 1 will renew 1t until you get ready 10 pay it," replied the lawyer.
 The young man hesitated for some time. He was very nervous about plsc- ing himself under obligation for so large q sum, but finally consented Young Blxby had to ask for the re- newal of his note two or three times, had to deprive himself of the necessi. ties of life to hold the farm until the opening of the Erie canal aud the first lighting of the city by gas gave the metropolis new birth and his farm was quickly swallowed in the growth. At the time of his death Bixby's prop erty was worth S7,00OO00. Today its market value is more than $13,000,O00 National Magazine

FROM woMAN's POINT OF VIEW

Tho average man has the home in. stinct well developed, but he has an aversion to becoming familiar with the details of home management. So he supplies money in lump sums, and asks nothing more than home comforts and no bills. The wise wife, or mother, or sister, of such man takes care of the details, and allows results to speak for themselves, and never by word or deed, permits him to have an inkling of her aversion for housekeeping, if she has any. The surest way to keep man at home is to make him comfortable in bcdy and mind. One of the sex told me that.

His Excuse.

Senator Beveridge, at a dinner in

about statesman of the past.
Like many a statesman of the
past" said Senator Beveridge, she
drank too much. And one Fourth of
July morning, on a platform hung
with flags and flowers before the
court house Of western town, fac
ing an audience Of farmers and their
families that had come from miles
around, the statesman arose to { ,liver
the Independence Day grafton in a
slightly intoxicated state.
He was ont incapable of an ora
ton, but his unsteady gait, his flushed
face and disordered attire spoke ill of
him, and the audience Kissed and
booed.
He held up his hand. They were
silent. Then he laughed scornfully
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, when a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear in such a lfftle one-horse
town as this he must be either drunk
or crazy. I prefer to be considered an
inebriate. '"-Washington Star.
