Cashiers In stores and restaurants, ticket agents at theaters and railroad stations, bartenders and conductors on cars are in a fair position to be come collectors of rare coins, as they handle every kind of money piece from foreign coins to oM-time money of the United States. A saloonkeeper In Harlem declares he has made a small fortune during the last few years by saving the rare coins that, are taken over the bar. "I have a tin box filled with rare United States pieces," he related, "and I could have a collection of for eign, coins If I so desired. You would be surprised to see how anxious some men are to get a drink at the expense of spending a rare old coin for its face value. Silver and paper currency that pay a good premium are given to my bartenders for face value. I have often noticed a reluctance on the part of the holder before parting with the coin. He will give a last look at the money and then place it on the bar for the refreshing beverage. One man told me that a coin had been in the tho family for nearly a century. He wanted only one drink and was afraid I would not take the coin because of tts age. I gave him the drink and change for the piece at its face value, and he was overjoyed." PUT OM MOURNER'S BENCH Little Dorothy Explains Break in De votional Exercises for Her Family of Dolls. Little Dorothy is the daughter of a minister. She has a family of fifteen dolls, one of them being a parson. Dorothy is devoted to her treasures. For a long time sh? held religious service for them, but suddenly the services were discontinued, only to be as unexpectedly resumed. "Why did you stop the services, Dorothy?" she was asked. "Oh, the dolls decided not to have them any more." "But why were they started again?" "They all voted that way, that is-" Dorothy hesitated, but she added, regretfully, "All except the clown and the Teddy bear." They were regarded as Incorrigible by the minister's small daughter. Next day at the services they were seated immediately in front of the doll preacher, the other dolls occupying less prominent places. "Why are the clown and the Teddy bear sitting so far forward?" in quired Dorothy's father. "Oh," was the reply, "I thought they most needed to hear the sermon." Impossible Road. Chauncey M. Depew frequently dep recates the comparisons that are drawn between American and Euro pean railways. "These compariscis are unfair to us," he once said at a banquet In New York. "When I'm told how very safe the European railway is I think of the Nola Chucky line. "The president of the Nola Chucky line once waited on me to request an exchange of courtesies. I interrogated him, and he said proudly: " 'On our line, sir, not only has a collision never occurred, but on our line a collision would be Impossible.' " 'Impossible?' said I. 'Oh, come, I know that the latest automatic safety devices are excellent things, but im possible is a large word.' " 'lt's literally true with us, sir,' he replied. " 'How cnn it be?' said I. " 'Why,' said he, 'we own only one train.' " Taxing Bachelors. One of the smallest of the German principalities ls undertaking a very big experiment in financial legislation. The diet of the elder of the two prin cipalities of Reuss, which lie in cen tral Germany, to the southeast of the Thuringlan states, carried recently a resolution in favor of increasing tho state Income tax by 5 per cent, of the tax on incomes between ?150 and ?300, and by \0 per cent, of the tax on Incomes exceeding ?300 a year in the case of unmarried persons of eith er sex who have reached their thir tieth year. The diet consists of twelve members, and the resolution was car ried by seven votes against five. The super-taxation of bachelors has often been proposed in other German states, and was jocularly refer? ed to as a pos sible form of imperial taxation by thc Emperor William. Dark Problem. There are those who are dreadfully intolerant of Ignorance about New York. The other day, for instance, a lady, obviously from many hundred miles away, boarded a Broadway car at Times square. "Does this car go to Third avenue?" she asked. A look composed of equal parts qt pity, rage and disgust spread over the conductor's face. "Will you please tell me, lady, how this oar could get onto Third ave nue?" he asked coldly, as soon aa he could enunciate. Bill the Philosopher.

The Deere Stalk Cutter. is an implement that is being appreciated and valued more highly by farmers each succeeding yeer. One great advantage this cutter offers is the elimination of the jolting and jarring to both driver and team. Heavy springs are so attached and adjusted as to break the force of the constant jolting of the blades. The Deere stalk cutters have stell frames and can stand the roughest. We want to keep in close touch with the farmers and will always take great pleasure in explaining every detail of the implements we sell. It should be the chief aim of the progressive farmer to equip his farm with implements ard machinery that will minimize labor ?nd at the sams time do the work in the best possible manner. We stand ready to co operate with them in accomplishing this purpose. Call to sec us when you come to Edgefield. Stewart & Ker naghan Parker Bidding Edgefield, S. C.
