Mr.. Koehler's business house would be
superilous on our part, as he is toe
well known in this community to need
any recommendation from us. He has
on hand a large assortment of dry
goods, groceries, hats and caps, boots

MAY HAVE TO STOP COINAGE.
Philadelphia Mint Faces Deficiency
for Contingent Expenses.

The Philadelphia mint will be forced
to suspend coinage operations at the
most critical period of the year unless
Congress provides immediate relief,
Acting Secretary Newton of the Treas
ury Department has advised Congress.
Mr.. Newton submitted a deficiency es-
innate of $4,000 for contingent ex-
penses and wages at the mint to sup
plement the 1855. 200 already appropri-
ated for those purposes.

the unprecedented demand for coinage,
extraordinary volume of depbsiss--asf &
foreign gold and the marked rise in
the prices of all supplies used. and
that the abnormal business of the mint
probably would continue throughout
the fiscal year.

Little Blue Clerks.

with apologies to Eugene Field)
The government clerks age covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch they stand.
And the promise of increase is red with rust,
And their bank books mold in their hands.
lime was when the government clerks were
young,
And their chances seemed passing fair
And that was the time when their Uncle Sam
Kissed them and put them there.
Now. work till you're wrinkied and gray he
said.
And don't you make any noise;
Wen have no requests for n salary raise
From you foolish girls and boys"
Then he jumped the prices food and wool,
And. far from content with that,
Gave himself SO per cent Increase
But the clerks pay roll stands pat.
Yet faithful to Uncle Sam they toll
Each in his same old place,
Awaiting the touch of their uncIe's hand
And the smile of their uncle's face;
And they wonder, waiting these long years
through.
So weary with work and perplexed,
Whether. falling to get their reward In this
world,
They may hope for n raise in the next
