A young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result
Of an attempted application of the
principles of economics:
For some time she had endeavored
to impress upon the minds OF one Of
her charges the names of the three
qualities, faith, hope. and charity One
Sunday she presented the pupil of the
poor memory with three new shining
coins. a penny. a five-cent piece, and
Q dime.
"The penny" she said. represents
faith. the fve-cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think Of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week bc-
fore, and called upon the holder of tho
coins to produce them and give their
names In proper sequence. The
youngster shuffied from one leg to the
other. stammered, blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mortifica-
ton. Finally he burst out with:
: please. Miss Fanny, amt got
nuthin' left but faith. Baby swal.

face value, provided clear three-ffths of
its physical surface be presented at the re-

little questioning, perhaps, as to how he got
it or how the accident happened, looping
