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 genuine. In time it reached the sub- treasury at New York and there its spuriousness at onee 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 straight and hard. A magnifying glass shows some very slight discrep- ancies between the face of the bill and 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 | } of the silk threads. 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 or 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 there is between the stalwart oak ea. + —- Fer ww ws eer.) which has struggled for its existence with a thousand storms, with all th | extremities of the elements, and the | hothouse plant which has never beez allowed to feel a breath of frost or 9 rough wind Every bit of the oak’s fiber has ree istered a victory, so that when its timber is called upon to wrestle with storms and the fury of the sea says, “I am no stranger to stor have met them many a time b I feel within me stamina and fiber to resist the fury of any sea, because } have fought and overcome its a thousand times.” The hothouse plant succumbs to t): first adverse wind. = A London Problem.

The following snake story was told some years ago by a reputable citi- zen of Anson county: Driving along a public road one day he’ saw a toad frog crossing the road at top speed— hitting only the high places and few ; of them. As the frog disappeared in | the bosky underbrush on one side a black snake in hot pursuit made its appearance on the other. 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.
