The old-fashioned gold or silver pin of seven or eight inches in length is of no use whatever in securing this summer's hats. The new pin measures ten inches from tip to handle and is made of an inflexible metal to pierce the heavy straws.

A lot of smaller change which had fallen at the same tiwo was soon recovered, hut not the gold coin. Very few cracks and crevices among the cobblestones escaped canes and prying eyes, but all in vain. Even pools of water were swept away, but to no purpose. it did not seem possible that li could have rolled more than a few feet, although the street for half a square was carefully scrutinized. That evening the missing coin was found at least five miles away. The man who had dropped it hurried out to his home in West I'htiadelpbia. intending to renirn to a theater.

Suddenly the man with the megaphone yelled out: "Ladies and Geuttfemen: Hero comes the president of the United Slates. 1 was one of his Rough Riders and arranged it with him to get hero at the same time as this machine. You see we are strictly up to date." The passengers grinned, but tho | grin changed to a puzzled expression . when, as the barker shouted. "Hello, Colonel; you see I'm on deck," the president bowed and smiled cordially.
