face on one cent piece. il Attempt to Alter it Brings Forth InI teresting Protest. Baltimoro Sun. Have you a penny to your name? If you are so fortunto take ouo out [ from its resting j)lace and scan it i closely. You will notice that the face L thereon is not characteristically In| dian. It suggests more the head of a young1 girl with .soft, curling hair and classic features. In fact, I he cast % an<l general expression is reminiscent of a Greek model rather than of a !|j savage. It is purely Caucasian. This lack of resemblance to an aboriginal has caused some folk to declare that Uncle Sam is a nature faker and that the mistake should be rectified and the head of a Sioux or some other wild Indian be placed on the coin instead. K Vigorous protests to such a change have come from Baltimore, and Mr. John G. Herman has written a letter to President Roosevelt asking that he use his influence against a change, and advocating the retention of the present design. Mr. Herman, who knows all about the selecting of the design for the penny, has told the President why and how it so happened that the coin bears a face so unlike an Indian, when the headdress !'s i has enough feathers to deck out a fj whole tribe for battle. J\ It seems that the face on the penny is one of a pretty girl, who afterward grew to be a famous woman. 1 Her name was Sarah Longacre Keen, and she lived in Philadelphia. When she was a child 6 years old a delegation of Indians from the Northwest visited Washington. They came to ?see the sights and pay their respects to the Great White Father. After having spent considerable time at [ ^ the Capital they were taken to Philyt> adelphia. There they were shown the mint. B Honored by Indian Brave. Little Sarah's father was a fine engraver and he had official connection with this great money factory. He was a kindly, benevolent man as well, and invited the delegation of red men to some sort of an entertainment at his home. One of the chiefs had bin attention attracted to the little miss, and he was so much pleased with hei figure and maidenly bearing that in a mood of sportiveness he took off hi.* headdress and put it on her head. She was not frightened, but lending her)v self to I he enjoyment of the joke, | ' she stood for a moment and let the company look at her. Someone present, who had both ar eye for beauty and artistic skill ?was so struck by the appearance little Sarah made in her Indian hat thai he sketched her on the spot. The sketch was engraved by hei father.. Just then the 1-eent coii: in its present form was about to be J issued, but the head with which its face was to be ornamented had nol been chosen. This engraved sketel , went into competition for the honor It was accepted in preference to al S' others, and the imprint of it wa: transferred to the neat little coppei coins which Uncle Sam for so man} years has been sending out into the world. Lived Life of Usefulness. When Sarah grew into womanhooe; sh^ became actively interested in missionary work and was for thirtyfive years secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of tlu > Methodist Episcopal Church. She wa: ! j also an earnest worker in the cause oJ l higher education for women, and as L a result of her efforts there is a col lege for women in the City of Mexice eledicated to her memory and costing .$100,000. most of which was giver by her. Mr. Herman and his friends whe ^ want the present bas-relief on tin : > cent retained declare that the face- i: of one who accomplished much, am $ that it is not only more appropriah jft' than a creation of an artist's imagi nation would be, but it is a tribnt* |l and an honor to American woman U. hood. As Sarah was in after life cemnect 1/ ed with mission work, it is certaii 1hat she, too, saw her face, as a ciiib many times in the missionary boxes she sent away te> foreign fields. Mr. Herman has received a repl\ from the president, and tlu* subject i now being considered by the sec re tarv of the treasury. |, ' : Fancy Rental for House. I/.'

The house was built some years after the war by James Thomas, a leading tobacconist, one of whose daughters married the late Dr. J. L. M.

Several ^ ifiirdenors are at work on the lawn. (.
