STORY OF THE PENNY GIRL.

Likeness on the old csn&s&Ss That of
 Sarah Lonsaeea-
 InlSS5 the government of the United States made sn offer of .SLO0o for the most acceptable design to be placed upon the new one cent coin soon to be issued. Some Indian chiefs travelled from the northwest to Philadelphia to inspect the mint. whose chief engrayer was James Barton Longacre, who in- vited them to his house.
 The engraver's daughter, Sarah, ten years old, greatly enjoyed the visit of her fathers guests, and during the evening, to please her, one of the chiefs took his feathered helmet and war bonnet and placed 1t on her head. In the company was an artist. who imme- diately sketched her and handed the picture to her father. Mir. LonGacre, knowing of the competition for a like ness to go upon the cent, resolved to enter the sketch for the prize offered by the government. To his delight, the officials accepted 1t. and the face of his daughter appeared upon;the coin.
 The face of Sarah Longacre has gone into more hands, more pockets, more homes, more Stores-yes. more churches than any other coin in the United States, if not In the world.-Pittsburgh Leader

telling what the boy scouts will do in
case of war, the national council of the

be taken by the scouts in any military

tons will have authority to involve
scouts in such service 1t is stated that
ii will be the privilege and pleasure of
each member to volunteer his services
for cooperation with the local civic
authorities. and that the training which
scouts have had will make them eff
ficient and dependable in doing such
work as
Rendering first aid to the sick or in
jured.
Sending messages by wire. wireless.

ments for the purpose of giving alarm

led them out to the hall. There could
be no doubt whatever that the burglar
was in the dungeon. He had been
busy with his knife. and the lock was
nearly removed. If the officers had
been two minutes later, the dungeon
would have been empty. The girls were
sent upstairs at once, with the Allan
boy as guard-as guard, without re-
gard for the fact that he was probably
more frightened than any one of them.
The chief officer raped briskly on

Evidently the burglar was wise enough
to appreciate the futility of fighting
