Washington, the treasury department redeemed $1.1S3.000.000 in soiled bills last year and issued new ones in place of them.

St. Gaudens' with and without "In God We Trust," and the old piece with Liberty's" head. At the stage door of the Thirty-ninth Street theater in New York recently an old man begged the actor to help him secure a night's lodging. John tossed the beggar supposedly two silver half dol lars, but in reality two of his favorite gold coins. The old man. noting the denominations, actually ran after his benefactor and pulled at his coat, in tending to inquire if the gold were really given him in earnest. Before he could open his mouth, however. Mason pushed him back, exclaiming. "Not twice in one night, old man." ""But do you mean it?" asked the beg gar. "Certainly, answered Mason. "Forty dollars, mister, cried the man. "Mot on your life," called Mason, as his cab moved away, and then to his companion, "Think of that because I give him more than he asked for he thinks I'm easy demands $40." The Growing South.
