A LINCOLN PENNY JOKE.
Proves Costly to Jersey Shore Post
Master Who Buys 1909 Pennies
to Sell for $40 Each.

Postmaster Warren Masters, of
Jersey Shore, made trip to Lock
Haven last Sunday intending to
pick up the modest fortune of Sr4,-
900 while there, but he came back
without it. He carried with him
when he departed 100 bright Lin
coin pennies, each showing the ini-
tials of the designer. These pen
nies still remain in his possession,
but he doesn't treasure them quite
so highly as he did when he was
paying 10 cents apiece for them.
Several days before Postmaster
Masters heard that Herbert Car
penter, a Lock Haven cigar dealer,
had made a standing offer of $40
for 1909 Lincoln pennies the kind
that bear the initials of the design
er. Masters used the telephone,
asked Carpenter about it, and was
told the offer was good. Then the
postmaster went on a still hunt for
pennies, but before he had corner
ed the supply the price had gone
up to 10 cents He accumulated
about 100, which ought, according
to his calculation, to bring SI4, oo1.
Sunday he went to Lock Haven to
get the money.
Strolling into Carpenters store
he bought high-priced cigar and
casually asked the storekeeper if he
was still offering $50 for 1909 pen
nies.
eve certainly are, if they have
the Designers initials" said Car
pene er.
well, l have tew," said Mas
ters.
Are you sure you have 1909
pennies 2" asked Carpenter,
"Sure; every one of them, and
with the designers initials" repli-
ed Masters, and poured handful
of the glittering coins ON the show
case.
Looks 10 me as if there were
only two or three hundred there, l"
said Carpenter. 81 can't afford 10
pay $50 for less than 1909"
For full half minute the two
men looked straight into each 9TH
er's eyes. Then Postmaster Masters
gathered up his pennies, and, with
out a word, beat it for the railroad
station.

DOG GONE !
Strange Case of an Iron Dog Going
Astray and Being Found in the
Bloomsbury High School.

Buddha's idea about the reincar-
nation of souls may be all right
at any rate there are several mil
lions of people on this earth who
think so-and it is possible that
many puppy dog in town is run
ming about with the soul of some
ones ancestor tucked away inside
of him, but that a cast iron mon.
grel should Suddenly come to life
and strive after scholastic honors is
a case which even the immortal
Buddha might have difficulty, in
explaining.
The hound in question is the one
which has for many year guarded
in ferric silence the front yard Of
Mrs. A. A. Butler, on First street
Through summer and winter it has
squatted OH its metal base, never
showing signs of the least skittish-
ness.
When the spirits were abroad on
Hallowe' EN-, however, it seemed to
occur to this curious cur that it
should do some stunt, so without
the slightest noise it vamoosed.
Sunday morning its absence was
noticed, and a search was started.
One gentleman secured the neigh
borhood for two hours, whistling
till his lips were sore before he re-
membered that the ears of the iron
canine were little accustomed to
that sort Of summons, so, feeling
foolish and discouraged, he gave up
his quest.
Naught was heard nor seen of
the animal until early Monday
morning, when an instructor who
occupies a class room on the second
floor of the High School entered
his sanctum. There, perched upon
the highest desk, was the prodigal
purp, no longer showing evidences
of activity, but dumb and metallic,
as it had been in its wonted posi-
tion in its front yard. The instruct
or informed the owners, and sent 1t
back to protect the front steps.
Psychological phenomena are in
teresting studies, and we realize
that spirits can accomplish much,
but in this case we appeal TO some
medium for an explanation.
