We should be prompt, because pro-

Another reason for the promptness is
that the one needing our help may suffer

During a great storm several years

The nose is sharply pointed, the lips
are thin and compressed, there is an

the entire expression is that Of stern

MOST VALUABLE GOLD PENNY

The most valuable penny in the
world is the gold penny of Henry
III. aela 6rb .
On August 16, 1927, a writ dated al
Chester, was issued, commanding the
mayor of London to proclaim in that
city that the gold money which the
king had caused to be made should be
Immediately current there and else
where within the realm of England, all
transactions of buying and selling, at
the rate of 20 pennies of sterling
ii. g., 20 silver pennies) for every gold
penny"
1t appears, however, that the time
was by no means favorable for the is
sue of pieces of a denomination so
much higher than had previously
been known. Accordingly, the city
of London petitioned against these
coins, and the king issued a proclama-
ton that no one should be obliged to
accept them. The coins, neverthe-
less, continued to be current, and in
1865 their value was raised from 2C
to "a pence; probably equivalent in
purchasing power to two pounds ster
ling of today.
1t is unlikely that any great mum
Der of these coins was ever struck
1t is probable that, by reason of theil
high value, they would soon be melt
ed down, for they were of pure gold
without alloy of any kind. The col
lectors of today know of only three OF
four specimens. One of these wa'
sold for more than 5000, and an
other for $500, and still another fol-
1000.
