WHERE DO THE PENNIES GOT
Many Millions of Them Arc Coined Every Year-Thoussnds Taken
 From Circulation.

Thousands of one-cent pieces are lost each year. More than hundred and fifty million pennies are coined annually by the Philadelphia mint and only small percentage of them are ever accounted for. They are swept up with the rubbish of the streets.
 When the new Lincoln pennies were first placed In circulation thou sands were used as souvenirs, never again to be placed in general circula- tion. Hundreds were gold-plated and silvered, to be used as cuff links and stickpins. Then, at nearly all country fairs there are machines that mutilate pennies-they hatten the one-cent piece, and stamp view of the fair grounds on 1t. This does away with thousands of the pieces.
 Not long ago over 100000 pennies were shipped to Cuba and placed in circulation among the poor class of natives. Pennies are placed in cir culation almost as fast as they are coined, but very few of them are ever heard of again. The American cop per cent runs close second to the pin, of which hundreds of millions are lost every year.

 Hour Ago."

For the first time in ten years the shabby man wore gloves, which he had wheedled out of an opulent aims giver.
 "Had to have 'em," he said, ''to hide my wrists. Just see here"
 The gloves were peeled off and the inscription, "I ate an hour ago." was shown on the back of each wrist.
 "Been there two weeks," said the man, "and nothing but the mercy of heaven has kept me from starving to death. Clapped on with a rubber stamp that notice was, at e little missionary place where the down and outs can drop in every evening for cup of coffee.
 "The superintendent wanted to discourage repeating. He did it by means of rubber stamp. l was one of the first guys he tried it on. The ink used that night was the kind that sticks in the wash, and every one of us poor devils who got a bite then have been advertising the fact ever since.
