lay back in long bamboo chairs, each

"Is she is she unmarried?"
"Oli, yes, and for the moment I be

two engagements, but somehow they
came to nothing. There was the
French count, but that was knocked in

bloomin' Guano, but he fortunately
smashed, much to Rosio's joy, because
she never liked him. Tho last was
Lord Evergreen. He was a nico old
chap when vou could understand what
he said, anil Rosio would have liked
that title very much, though bis grand
childreu opposed the thing. Well, sir,
I suppose you couldn't understand the
trouble wo took to keep that old man
alive for his wedding. Science did all
it could, but 'twas of uo use." The
financier sighed. "The ways of provi
dence are inscrutable. He" died sir,
the day before."
" That was very sad."

if I still see my way, you shall under

"And and may I call upon Rosie?"
"Not till this day week; not till I
have made my way plain."

"And so it means this. Oh, Rosie,

said, that when you married you
should stop out of oue room like this
into another jut as good?"
"Oh, Reggie" she sank upon his
bosom "you know I never could love
anybody but you. It's true I was eu
gaged to old Lord Evergreen, but that
was only because ho had one foot you

in, too, just a day too soon. I actually
laughed. So the pater is going to
make a compauy of it, is he? Well, I
hope he won't put any of his money

Two Irishmen, recently landed from

lonely road, when they passed an
orunaru containing plum trees covered
with fruit. "The plums in this country

an' tuat's thrue, Pat," replied Mike.
"If you shake the tree. I'll stand be
low and thry thiiu, Mike," said P.tt.
So Mike got up to shake the tree, and
Pat stood below. And the first shake
that Mike gave he started a tree-toad
from a sound nap and the tree-toad
fell plump iuto Pat's open mouth. He
spluttered, and gulped, and jumped
about. At last he called out, iu dis

Curiosities About Coins.
Cartain passages in the Illiad of
Homer would lead to the inference that
coins of brass were struck as early as
1.184 years B. C. Tradition nllirnis
that the Chinese had bronze coins as
early as 1120 B. C. But Herodotus,
"the Father of History," ascribes the
"invention" of coins to the Lydians,
about nine centuries B. C.and there is
uo 8atisfactoryevideuco that coins were
know n prior to that date.
The original process of coining was
very simple. A globular piece of
metal, having a delinod weight, was
placed ou a die, engraved with some
national or religious symbol, and
struck with a hammer until it had re
ceived the impression. Ono of the
most ancient Asiatic coins was the
Persian D.iric, a gold coin struck dur
ing the reign of Darius, urnrly live
centuries B. C. The lirst coinage in
Rome was about the year 600 B. C.
The nirtal used was bronze, and the
unit of value was one pound in weight.
The coin was called an "as"; was brick
shaped and stamped with the figure of
a sheep or an ox.
Silver was lirst coined nt Romo in
the year 275 U. C. Tho first Roman
gold coin was issued only about 74
years B. C.
The Saxons coined thn first British
pieces about the year 271) A. 1).
The first colonial cnius issued in this
country were struck in Massachusetts
in 1652. They were three, six, aud 12
pence pieces. 67. Louis liamblic

Some miscreant, who had nothing

last night at about eleven o'clock.
The alarm proved to be a false one,
but it caused a good many to turn

Another attempt was made to
hold up the Missouri Pacific pas

suburbs of Omaha, at the same
place where an express train was so
successfully robbed some time ago.
The engineer saw several masked

instead of, stopping his train, he
pulled by with all possible speed.
The would-be robbers fired a score
or more of shots at the train as it

you and pester you for your coat. They
wouid rejoice lr ail were foolish enough
to yield to their importunate demands,
and risk colds, coughs, influenza and
bronchitis for the rest.of their natural
life. Why, it is madness to venture into

Modern theaters are so constructed that

pour in irom every crack and canny. If
yon are in the center of the stalls, at
many theaters directly tho curtain is
raised a tornado or wind rushes across
the footliffhta and catches vou bv the
throat I often think that women are
mad who venture into theaters with low
dresses in winter time. It is bad enough
for men.
And yet these attendants get quite of
fended if we do not leave behind ns the
only garments that will protect us from
sudden death. Remember that no one
is free from the theater highwaymen.
Even those who go in with orders cannot

ance and he was attacked in the usual
way:
"Coat, sir!"
"What do you want with it?"
"To take it off."
"Vory well," bo murmured innocently.
The highwayman prepared to strip off
his coat, and behold! my friend, who
had prepared for tho dodge, walked
away in his shirt sleeves! IIo had only
put on his overcoat, with nothing un
derneath it
Unconcerned he was preparing to en
ter the stalls coatless, when the attend
ant rushed after him.
"Look here, sir, you must not go into
tho stalls like that!"
"Why not?' he asked with a bland
and innocent air. "You asked for my
coat You have got it What more can
you want?"
The coct and cloak fiends having been
disposed of, you encounter tho second
rank of touts. Now it is a programme
for which you must pay. They inso
lently bar your passage. They dun you
and din into your ears, "Programme,
sir!" It is not a civil request to know
if you would like a programme or not
but a domand with au implied threat
The implication is that yon are a stingy
person, who lias no right to bo seen in
the stalls.
But this is not nil. Having gone
