Carried Eouus Talisman.

Thirty-eight years ago when Charles
Wagner first saw the light of day in
Pittsburgh, he was presented with a
~ten-dollar gold piece by a fond rela-
tive. And when he budded into man
hood he carried the coin wrapped up
in paper. He made a VOW that he
never would spend the money, but
keep 1t as a token of remembrance Of
the giver. His one consolation was,
II am ten bucks to the good as long
as / have It." Recently luck went
against him. He was down at the heel
and out at the sole and the inner man
was rebelling. So he concluded to
part with the coin. But he didn't.
He still possesses it. The reason is
the coin is a counterfeit. Now
wouldn't that jar YOU" said Wagner.
Here | have been carrying that coin
for So years and didn't know it was a
counterfeit until l became hard up.
Talk about luck This being a
family newspaper, the balance of the
sentence cannot be finished.
