Astor.
The New York American has been re-
Iiably informed that William Vincent
Astor has ordered that all these charities
be continued from his own inheritance
in the game quiet manner observed by
his father. In addition. Vincent Is con-
sidering several plans for a public bene-
faction in memory Of his father which
will reach a considerable figure.
That Col. Astor bestowed charity in
a very quiet manner, planning especially
to avoid public notice. was known to but
few Of his most intimate friends" said
one of his close friends yesterday. About
a year ago he read in the morning pa
pers Of a workman who had received
terrible injuries and been removed to q
hospital The story touched the heart OF
the colonel so that he sent a confidential
messenger with a considerable sum Of
money at once to the sufferer.
See that the money reaches him, hut

came from me- were the instructions Of
Col Astor.
He was slated with the success Of
the silent charity and later managed

A THREE-CENT PIECE LEGEND.
what Became of Nickel Coin that

what Became of Nickel Coin that
suppIanted Tiny silver One.
There was once a scent piece in this
country. dainty little silver coin, which
DISAPPEARED probably because the advance
Of prices left so few articles within its
reach that 1t was not worth while to con-
tinue It's manufacture.-Philade Rec
ord.
A story told by a business man found
its way into print q few years ago to
account for the disappearance Of the J.
cent piece. The first OF these coins was
silver and very small. but the last piece
was nickel and about the size Of dime.
II appears that q Chicago company man
ufacturing slot machines put out one
which required q silver dime to work It
The first collection made disclosed the
fact that the public had discovered that
the machine responded as readily to
Scent piece as to a dime To meet this
embarrassing situation the slot machine
company barreled the coins as fast as
they came in, and they did not get back
into circulation. In the course OF time,
when no more were found In the slots, IL
became evident that the policy had
brought about the desired enect. The
government had ceased TO coin the J.
cent piece, and the troubles OF the Chi
caRo concern were at an end.
What gives the story an appearance
OF truth is that the scent piece disap-
peared from circulation not only sud
denly, but effectually. None has been
seen for many years, which Is contrary
70 the usual experience with our circu-
latinE medium. Usually a coin or paper
money will remain In circulation for two
or three decades after the government
has ceased 20 issue It. And the method
adopted by the Chicago concern to get
rid OF It was the wisest that could have
been pursued. Every piece used In It's
machines represented loss Of cents.
and It could better AFFORD TO lose cents
on the start than to face the prospect
OF losing Z cents every time the machine
was operated, year after year.
However. We are to have q new S-eent

the rest OF the 1m varieties OF present
day statesmen.
The most radical man I ever knew,
In some respects" remarked Senator
William z. Borah. was by Uncle Henry.
I'll never forget one night several years
ago when my wife and I were getting
into our buggy In front Of his house,
and one OF Us noticed a light approach
ing from down the road. It was a
strong light to be attached to a vehicle,
and my uncle wondered what Il could
be- Acetylene gas was just coming into
use then for bicycles and I suggested
that Il was probably a bicycle. But
my Uncle Henry doubted that and said
that whatever It was he purposed to stop
II and learn more about IT. The light
was then almost upon Us and my uncle
began to yell at the thing:
Stop! Hey. there, stop = minute!
Stop. I tell your
But the man on the bicycle was en-
toying his high rate Of speed on a good
down grade and showed no signs Of stop
ping. So my uncle, who, as say, was
radical man in some respects, plunged
right at the bicycle with both feet. and
II stopped all right When my uncle

comment was:
Well stopped It, dIdn't r."
Senator JeH Davis OF Arkansas never
signs his full name Jsn is an alb
brsviatlon for his baptsmaI nomIna-
tion- His real name Is JsnrIes, II
one Is correctly informed But he pre-
fers just the Jeh feature. Nearly
everybody in Arkansas assumes that
his full name is Jefferson Davis, and
that he is a relative OF the original
Jeh Davis. JeR figures that 1T doesn't
do any harm In that part Of the coun-

son, to have people think tust that
Representative Hardy, Of Texas, has

the House chamber, whose name does

friends In a big automobile. They came

rough at best, but a gang OF laborers

Representative Ebert Hubbard Of Iowa
was greatly disconcerted at the opening
OF 4 meeting at which he was to speak
last fall TO see a horde OF boys and
young men enter the hail armed with
TIN pans. clubs, cowbells, and various
other implements for making noise
'Ah. how unappreciatiYe people are"
thought Hubbard to himself. Il slave
away in Congress, trying to represent
my district as faithfully as I know how,
and here's the thanks get I come
here to make a speech. and I'm to be
interrupted and derided. doubtless, by the
beating Of tin pans"
But he resolved to stick II through,
feeling that he could speak just as long
as the tormentors could make a noise,
and II they didn't want to listen to him
and improve their minds they didn't
have TO.
However, Il wasn't as bad as Hub
bard had feared As he was about to
speak, one lone, Eaunt man arose and
asked II he might have Just a word

replied:
Honestly, I never thought Of II be-

Arizona will be a State one OF these
days and I don't know OF a better man
they could send to Congress than my
self. Why not?'
That was three or four years ago. and
Hayden was then an Arizona Sheriff,
but when he got back home he devoted
part Of his time each day to thinking
about washington and what a ine thing
