earth than. himself, the defendant said.

shown to be one Of the rough type, be-
grimed n bewhiskered. The bullet

WHY Peterson had the desired effect
90 the next morning bis bank was filled
With depositors. ,
Superstition has frequently been
the basis Of u corner In coins Of par
ticular denomination. A remarkable
case Of this kind occurred in southern
Russia in 1903. There appeared at
Berdiansk. on the sea of Azov. q per-
son proclaiming himself prophet. and
% such he announced bis intention OF
redeemfng the world. Among the
queer doctrines advanced by this fndi.
vidual was included the decree that all
his followers must retain all five 10.
peck pieces issued in the year 1861. the
year of the emancipation Of the serts.
They were by reason Of that event
held to be holy. .
1t was not long before the ignorant
peasants In the vicinity became con-
WINGED that all pieces Of that denomi.
nation should be taken to the prophet
for preservation. The heaven sent one
further announced that should the
fatherland get into difficulty every one
Of the coins in question would turn to
gold" and thus save the empire.
And 80 It happened that over an
area Of 800 miles Russian peasants
were feverlshly collecting the holy"
pieces and turning them over to the
prophet. When he had gathered a
goodly number OF the coins he de-
camped.

may be said to corner its own coins

the local band became 20 indignant at
the large proportion Of halfpennies In
their silver collections" that they
locked up every halfpenny received.
The consequence was that In few
weeks there was hardly a halfpenny
In the town. Then the band reaped
. harvest Of coins Of higher value.
Cornering gold coins demands a
capital that few men possess. Some
years ago. however. at Dleppe there
occurred a sudden scarcity Of ten
franc and twenty franc pieces. due to
tho operations of an eccentric British
