Pennies,

That Americans are careless OF
their small change is evidenced by
the fact that Of the $50. 900. 900 pen.
MES annually sent out from the Phil
adelphia mint only n small percentage
are ever accounted for afterward.
1t is. thought that but q very small
percentage Of pennies lost in the
streets are ver found, since they lack
luster and fail to catch the eye as
does a silver coin. The chances are
that they are swept up with rubbish
and so, for the most part, lost az
COINS.
County fairs and shows OF various
kinds mutilate thousands Of pennies
every year. At the fairs n may see
a machine that will flatten a cent and
at the same time emboss a souvenir
view of the event.
Hundreds of thousands Of pennies
are carried out OF the United States
by tourists, who leave them abroad.
A year or two ago 100000 of them
were shipped to Cuban bankers and
placed in circulation among the labor
ing classes in Cuba. The American
copper runs a close second to the PIN

In a Literal Sense,

Juvenile remarks are not always so
naughty as they seem. Small Sam, for
instance, had no intention OF using bad
language when he got into such severe
trouble in class.
His teacher was trying to press
home certain facts concerning a vol
cano. In reviewing the lesson she
drew OF the blackboard her own con-
ception of a flaming mountain, using
oolored crayon with extraordinary eff
feet.
"What is it," she asked, the picture
finished.
"You don't know? Well, what does
it look like" the teacher persisted.
