Some people cannot resist the tempta-
ton to play practical jokes on innocent
victims. A fend Of that variety was
accosted by a man who stammered bad

Yes, certainly replied the inveterare
1oklst. You turn down this street to
your left, then turn again to your left
and then go straight ahead, and you'll
ind an ironmonger's where you'll be
sure to get them"
The stammerer continued on his way
and the iokist bolted down the street
and tackled the ironmonger first.

INDIAN GIRL AND HER TRAVELS
As a Government Ward She Is Protected
on Long Overland Journey.

Under the watchful paternal eye of the
United States government Miss Matilda
Hancorne, Il shapely and beautiful In
dian girl whose home is at Orick, Hum
boldt county, completed wearisome
journey across the continent Sunday
Miss Hancorne has been a student at
the United States Indian school at Car
Isle, Pa, and when she decided to re-
turn to her California mountains Supt.
NJ. Friedman at once began to pave
the way for a safe and pleasant journey
for his charge. Elizabeth Howell, an
other student, was coming west as far
as Elko, New, and Friedman put the two
girls on the train armed with all man
ner Of letters and credentials. In the
meantime he had sent letters ahead of
the girls to assure their accommodations
on the way.
Aside from her ineXperience in travel
ing there was little need Of the federal
government taking such precautions re-
garding Miss Hancorne's journey. for
she is bright, wideawake girl who
speaks English perfectly and bears her
self with an Independent carriage If
there is anything about her to attract
attention in a crowd it is her striking
beauty and the perfect taste with which
she dresses.

distress and suffering and misery
which men might see If they would
step out of their selfish routine. Do
some deed of kindness each day until
it sets into habit of the soul. This
is practical Christianity.
A good way to create such habit is
to commit ones self to some form or
Christian or altruistic service. One of
the objections urged by our pleasure

of any kind is that it ties us down.
This is really one of its advantages.
When you commit yourself to the ser

practical work, and the disposition to
be Of use to your fellow men becomes
yours at last, as the result of the
habit of definite Christian activity.

FOOD FACTS.
What an Nj. ID. Learned,

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public:
1t was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape Nuts food
and | also know, from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak PATIENTS that the food is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer Of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly
Il was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely, and
went TO the mountains Of this state,
Out two months there did not improve
me; in fact, was not quite as well as
when / left home.
My food did not sustain me and
1t became plain that I must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food.
and in two weeks I could walk q mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
Time have felt as well and strong rs
l ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, I consider it a duty to
make these facts public

Hoke Smith Likes Chickens.

Gov. Hoke Smith has gone in for
chicken raising on a large scale. He has
found the local market inadequate to
supply his appetite and has embarked
upon the industry in the hope of equullz-
ing the supply and the demand.
The governor is stocking his farm near
Decatur with fowls from far and near
and Of high and low degree. But still
the chickens don't come fast enough,
and on advice Of George Tumlin, keeper
of public buildings, he has put in an
incubator.
81 am not raising enough chickens"
said the governor. Il want several ey-
cry day. Why, ! can eat six a dag
two at each meal"
Mr. Turnlin was fairly startled. He
replied:
II didn't know that anybody except
preacher could eat more than one"
mot eat more than one" exclaimed
the governor in surprise. Any body IN
the world can eat one chicken, especially
if it's broiled. No, sir, / have got 10

A cINcH FOR UNCLE SAM.
About 5000, 600 Profit from the Minis
Last Year

Last 4Cdts
While Uncle Sam makes the gold coin
practically without cost to the owner of
the bullion, he makes sufficient profit
(calIed seigniorage) on the silver coinage
and the nickels and pennies manufac-
tured at his minis during the year to do
a great deal more than pay all expense
of maintaining the minis and assay of
fees.
He buys the silver, nickel and copper
at its bullion value, which in the case of
silver costs about half the face value Of
the coin made from it. The actual cost
of a nickel or five cent piece at the pres
ent price of metal including the labor
and contingent expenses, is about two
tifths of cent each, and the cost of a
one-cent piece, including metal labor,
etc, is about one-fifth of a cent each.
In addition to the profits on silver and
minor coinage, says the National Maya
zine, the government has a source of
revenue and profit from charges for re-
filming deposits of gold and silver, charges
for the alloy used in making the coin.
assaying, making medals, sale of by
products from the refining operations
and the coming of money for other gov
ernments.
The total earnings of the mint and as
say service for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1908, was $10,942 9OO9S,
while the total expenditures for the en-
tire service including salaries, wages of
workmen, contingent expenses and the
loss in operations, amounted to 81 $50
S43.24, leaving total profit of $S,9S7,-
057.74. OF this income for the term
above stated the seigniorage on the sill
yer coinage was $S,713,4 13.35 and the
seigniorage ON the minor coinage for the
same period was 1855, 029.42.
