The Story of flic Ticket.
"Every ticket has its story." said a
man acquainted with the pawnshops,
and one of the sad little tales which
he told is repeated by the Philadelphia
Telegraph. It was a bitter cold day,
and a mite of a boy, not over nine
years old, had come In. wrapped in his
overcoat This he peeled off and de-

and Mr. Rockefeller and all of the
great captains of industry of their
"kidney" are beginning to wax
effete. They have about played out
their string. The people, speaking
after the manner of tne moderns, are

"Can't do It. Dollar."
The boy was almost crying, and he
begged earnestly for the sum he asked,
"I want to pet my sister's coat out,'*
he said as he laid down S cents as In-
terest money. This proposition the
pawnbroker accepted, and the boy
went shivering Into the cold with his
sister's coat.
"Is your sister going to a dance to-
night''" a bystander asked him.
"No, sir; mom's been sick, an' Maggie
had to hock her coat for feed. She's
got a job now, an' she's got to have a
coat to go to work in. I don't mind the
cold; I'm used to It."
Tlie Scotch Halfpenny.
Englishmen are familiar with the
name "bawbee," applied to the Scotch
halfpenny, but to few does it bring the
association of a baby queen and a loyal
people. Those who meet with the word
In their reading do not often stop to
ask how it came to be applied. It ap-
pears that the first attempt at the por-
traiture of the unfortunate Mary,
queen of Scots, was made In her In-
fancy, and her small face was en-
graved upon the Scottish halfpennies
at the time of her coronation in l.">43,
when she was but nine months old.
A number of these small coins are stilt
preserved, and it will be easily under-
stood how the name "bawbee," or
baby, came to be given to the coin
bearing the efficy of the baby. The
halfpenny of Scotland is still common-
ly called the bawbee, although the
baby face no longer appears on It.—

Even the multi-millionaires—the

lbe trust business will be new to
the farmers, but what adds so much
to the force and virility of talent as
the joy of learning and the exhilara-
tion of success in fresh fields? The
captains of industry must be growing
weary by this time of their own au
dacity and cupidjty. It will all be
novel to the farmer and the task will
employ energies which are neither
fatigued nor sated.
Let the scoffers and the doubters
consider how the pawpaw statesman
in the General Assembly had all of
the enervated city boodlers beat a
thousand miles for genuine interest
and skill in the game of grab at
Jefferson City. Money is like anything
else, it, looks better to prople who
have not had to much of it than it
does to anybody e se. Its acquisition
becomes a passion to the neophyte.

the moderate rewards of their labor

which the trusts foster and encour-
age. Whether they will out Herod

A Churchman's Wit.
Wayne MacVeagh, Archbishop Ryan
and George B. Roberts, president of
the Pennsylvania railroad, were fel-
low guests at a banquet given in the
Union league several years before the
death of Mr. Roberts. Mr. MacVeagh
at the time was the legal adviser of the
"Pennsy." Some chaff in the vernacu-
lar of railroading marked a passage in
the conversation of the evening, and
the lawyer, following up a compliment
paid the prelate by the president, said:
"Your grace, iii return you might
give the worthy Mr. Roberts a free
pass to heaven."

"Rule Rritannia" Variation*.
One of the English papers gives the
answers of certain board school boys
who were asked to write down the
whole or part of the thorus of "Rule
Britannia." One of them gave the first
line as "Royl Brick Tanner. Brick Tan-
ner rules the way," a second began it
with "Rore Britauier," while a third j
attempted a whole verse. This was his j
ven-ion: "The nations not so blest has
ho but still in stern but still stern to j

Mr. Harry do Windt in his book,
"Finland as It Is," tells of a mot of
Andree, the arctic explorer. Just be-
fore his last voyage he was driven to
distraction at a dinner party by a talk-
ative neighbor.
"But how will you know, professor,
when you have really crossed tlie ncrth
pole?" was one of the many silly ques-
tions.
"Oh, that will be simple enough, ma-
dame," replied Andree with bis well
known dry humor. "A north wind will
become a south one!"
