per acre, the buyer will wait in the of
fice three hours and a halt while the
real-estate agent shins around and gets
change for a two cent piece, in order
to make even purchase money. In the
far-West, the cent, save that" which is
worn by the guileless Indian, is almost
unknown. It take-tin mills to make
the United States cent. One gin mill
does the work for the Indian.
The ne.xt coin in the ascending scale
is the two-cent p.ece. It is twice as
worthless or twice as useful as the cent,
uccorditisr to the accidental or or.ental
locality of its cir -illation In any State

will not buy two of anything, except I

ate not yet able to smoke tobacco.
A quarter is a real coin. It is worth
two dimes and a nickle and has some
style about it. It is the purchasing
equivalent of three domestic or two im
ported cigars. It is an aristocrat at the
ciirar-stainl but a plebeian at the theater.
Laid in the honest palm of the hotel
porter, it makes him ubiquitous; devoted
to the waiter, he becomes a horn of
fIeny and fastens himself with a death

quarter stands iu the best silver society

buy something of anything for a
quarter, and hire a boy to run an

bark on Moosic Mountains, near Car

a mountain skidway, near Herrick Cen

250 feet below. One day recently while
Harkness was at the skidway attempt
ing to remove a large log with his cant
hook, the hook slipped, throwing Hark
ness down the embankment, the log
following after. As Harkness shot
down the mountain side he gathered
himself together and made a fearful
leap into the river. He happened to
strike a clear place between the logs
and thus escaped a terrible death. He
was rescued by the workmen a few feet
from the large log which rolled into the
river just behind him. Harkness held
on to his cant-hook all the time, and
was taken out of the river with it still
in his grasp. Harrisburg Patriot.
