New York-Captain Charles Penny.

man who has successfully ridden

The porpolse was n big bull, head OF
n herd Of twenty, which had interfered
with the fishing OF Penny and his asso-
clates. They decided to shoot him and
did wound him. Then they found they
had no boathook to land their prize.
Wait minute, boys; I'm going to
have that fellow" said Penny. With.

This did not frighten Penny. for he
is about as much at home in the water
as the porpoise. and. as to speed. he
had attempted some OF that on land in
running an automobile. He knew. too.
that the fish would have TO come to
the surface very quickly TO blow. for
he was three-quarters dead before the
excursion started. SO he held on.
When the porpolse did come up. n
minute or so later, Penny was a long
way from his boat. but still astride the
porpoise, SO he reached around the
porpolse's head with one arm and
rammed a big fish hook into its nose,
The fish made another feeble effort to

NEW YORKER ASKS NEW COIN
Banker Declares Nation Needs Two
and one-Half Cent Piece for
Small Change.

New York.-The coinage OF two
and one-half cent piece by the United
States government is urged in a state
ment given out here by William H..
Short, n New York banker, who de-
clares that the use of such coin
would mean saving of $4,000, 900
yearly to consumers.
THE absence OF such coinage" he
says. has resulted I'm the universal
custom of the sellers taking the half
cent whenever a transaction does not
result in even money. | suppose II
would be a safe estimate to say that
each family loses the half cent on an
average of ten times a week, resulting
in their paying $3.50 a year above the
price of articles purchased.
There are about 100000 families
in the United States. exclusive of tho
merchants. and figuring on the basis
mentioned. they are losers yearly from
this cause the approximate sum of
