Spu- rious coins and paper tokens occasion ally get into: circulation and some of these are so well done as almost to defy detection by experts. Among the latest samples of the counterfeiters’ art is a $10 bill, one of the cleverest imitations on record A speciment of this issue was received and paid out by several banks, being regarded by all who handled it as In time it reached the sub- treasury at New York and there its spuriousness at once became known. On first inspection the bill appears to be a real product of the treasury department, but when held up to the light the little particles of silk, which in a genuine bill are curved and twisted in the paper, are seen to be traight and hard. A magnifying lass shows some very slight discrep- ncies between the face of the bill nd that of a genuine one. Subtreasury officials state that the | bogus note was engraved by a master in the art who may once have been employed in the bureau of engraving at Washington. Every person who re- ceives a $10 bill, says Leslie’s Week- ly, should apply to it at least the sim- ple test above given of holding it up to the light and noting the condition THROUGH COMBAT TO VICTORY. Strong, Vigorous Character Arrives at Fruition by Wrestling With and Overcoming Obstacles. It is the wrestling with obstacles and the overcoming of difficulties that have made man a giant of achieve- ment. If we could analyze a strong, vigor- ous character, we should find it made up largely of the conquering habit, the habit of overcoming, says Orison Swett Marden in Success. On the other hand, If we should analyze a weak character we should ' find just the reverse—the habit of fail- ure, the habit of letting things slide. of yielding instead. of conquering— the lack of courage, of persistency oY grit. \ There is the same difference be- | tween a self-made young man, who has fought his way up to his own loaf and the pampered youth who has never been confronted by great re- sponsibilities that would exercise his powers and call out his reserves, that is between the stalwart oak which has struggled for its existence hothouse plant which has never beer | allowed to feel a breath of frost or : rough wind Every bit of the oak’s fiber has istered a victory, so that when timber is called upon to wrestle wi see says, “I am no stranger to stor have met them many a time t I feel within me stamina and fibe have fought and overcome its eque a thousand times.” The hothouse plant succumbs to t)- = A London Problem. They are dealing with a psychologi- | cal problem in London that is not on! the cards.

His Little Deal. “Ha, ha!“ exclaimed the board “You actuaily bought a gold brick?” “Yes,” answered the farmer, as he took the specimen tenderly and laid it on the mantelshelf. “All the city folks that came here expected to sae one. It seemed like they wouldn’t be- lieve I was a regular farmer unless I could show a gold brick. So when I went to town and this was offered me I give the fellow $99 in confederate money and a Canada quarter, which is cheaper than I could have made one myself.” The “Austrian Lip.” The thick and prominent underlip| that has long been characteristic of the house of Hapsburg was dubbed tie “Austrian lip” many years ago.! This feature was derived from Cym- purgis, daughter of Ziemovitz, duke of Masovia, and uncle of the then king of Poland. She was noted for her great beauty and unusual strength.

As the frog disappeared in the bosky underbrush on one side a black snake in hot pursuit made its appearance on the other. The story- teller followed the two into the bushes to see what the result would be. He had proceeded only a short distance when he found the frog at bay, fac- ing the snake and with the latter cire- ling about in the effort to make an attack from the rear. His frogship kept turning all the time, always fac- ing the enemy. The reason of this maneuver on the snake's part was that the frog had in its mouth, held crosswise and about the middle, a stick about the size and length of a lead pencil. The frog knew the snake could not swallow him so long as he presented such a front. The man watched the performance for some time and when he left the snake was still circling the frog and the latter facing its enemy on every turn.—Charlotteville Observer. GOT A LITTLE SATISFACTION Editor, Unable to Collect Bill for Pa- | per, Could Afford to Affront the Widow. To the editor of a newspaper there came the other da an indignant elderly woman, who waved a bit of paper in the editorial face. “Lookee here!” she said. “What to my husband that’s been dead two years? Ye don’t expect his widow to pay debts o° his contracted long after he’s dead?” “You say he has not been getting the paper?” said the editor, after long thought. “No, ye donderhead!” screamed the woman, “I tell ye he’s been dead two | years!” “Strange,” mused the editor. “The Postoffice department has not noti- fied me of his failure to receive them. Quite sure you yourself haven’t been ‘enjoying the estimable educational | values of a perusal of my sheet?” “That ain’t the point,” argued the widow. “You’ve been sending the noospaper and a bill to a man that’s dead. It’s your affair, not mine. “Well,” said the editor finally, per- | ceiving that he must be a loser, “in future, madam, I will cause an extra | copy to be printed on asbestos to in- | sure that your husband receives his | | Citizen regularly.” SUBTERFUGE NOT A SUCCESS | ' Crosby Doesn’t Know Whether Wife Detected Trick or Really Was in Unselfish Mood. Crosby had always been inclined to | especially in the matter of his wife’: | a writer in the dress bills, relates Sunday Magazine. far as to say that he was penurious. She had been in need of a new boa for a long time, and after she hinted that her happiness would never be quite complete till she had one, he at last consented to make the purchase. | He went into a store and picked out two, one of which was a cheap imita- tion affair, and the other a fine ex- pensive one. Taking them to his office before go- ing home, he changed the price marks, the expensive tag on the cheap boa and vice versa. His wife examined them for a long time very seriously indeed, and then said, “Now, dear, the expensive boa | 4s a beauty, and it is really very good of you to allow me my choice. Some women would take it without a word; but really I don’t think we can af- ford the more costly one, and be- sides, dear, I think the cheap one the more stylish too. Why, Cros, dear, what’s the matter? Are you ill?” But dear old Cros had made his getaway into the night where he could kick himself as hard as he felt he de served. But what he would like to know, is this: Did his wife happen on the more expensive boa by pure accidert, or— The Consoling Volume. There was a backward student at Balliol who, for failure to pass an ex- amination in Greek, was “sent down.” His mother went to see the master, Dr. Jowett, and explained to him what an excellent lad her son was. “It isa hard experience for him, this dis- grace,” said the old lady; “but he will have the consolation of religion, and there is always one book to which he can turn.” Jowett eyed her for a mo ‘ment and then answered: “Yes, ma dam; the Greek grammar.
