County people have a great contempt
for thoae who cannot tell what the
weather ia going to be till they have
looked at tbeir ezpenaive barometer*
or aeeunhl weather indication* in the
morning paper. They have sotnkiTy
aimple waya of fiuding out what they
wiah to know about tbe weather and
are ao accuatdmed to doing thia that
they make the ohaervationa almoat
mechanically. v Ask one of tbem how
to do thia and be will give you a long
liat of aimple weather gauge*. For
instance, if you are a smoker look at
your cigar tip. If it with a
dear, red glow the day will be floe, but
if it bM a charred end that refute* to
burn brightly take your umbrella. If
a alipper oreaka it ia aure to be fine;
if it ia ailent it will be damp. In
damp weather newapapera are eaaily
torn, glovea contract and are difficult
to put on, matobes will not light
eaaily, eilk hata become dull, awning
oorda are tight, boot laoea anap and a
acore of inanimate thing* tell to the
initiated that there ia rain to oome.

OLD-TIME HALF-CENTS.
Two of Them Sent to Washington Last Year
for Redemption.
The treasury of the United States on
May 6, 1903, received two half-cent
pieces. This in the first time in the
history of the country that any such
coins have been presented for redemp
tion. It is more than a century since
the first half-cent was coined, and it is
hardly fifty years since the govern
ment discontinued minting them.
Possibly not one person in a thous
and now living in the United States
ever saw a half-cent piece.
The last annual report of the Direc
tor of the Mint, page 82, shows that
7,896,222 of these coins, representing
839,476.17, were issued. For almost
half a century each annual report of
the Treasury Department has includ
ed them among the " outstanding"
obligations of the government.
The half-cent piece was the coin of
the smallest denomination ever made
by this country. It enjoys the dis
tinction also of being the first coin
issued, and also the first whose de
nomination was discontinued. The
U. 8. mint was establithed in 1792, and
copper half-cents and cents were is
sued in 1793. Half the total number
of half-cents issued were coined prev
ious to 1810, after which year their
coinage, wilh few exceptions, was
limited. None were coined forcircula
tion from 1812 to 1824, nor from "1936
to 1848. Finally in 1857 their coinage,
with that of the big copper cent, was
discontinued. On account of their
limited issue in the last years of their
coinage, they practically had disap
appeared from the channels of trade.
The needs of adopting the balf-cent
as the lowest value computing factor
for a coin were made in the early days
of the republic. Colonial half-cents
and British farthings of the same com
mercial value were then in circulation,
and many articles were priced and
sold in half cents. With the progress
of the' nation value arose and the
needs of a half-cent disappeared and
their use following the first decade of
the century was almost entirely eon
fined to multiples.
While all other discontinued types
and denominations of United States
coin have found oblivion, the half
cent is the only one of which the
treasury reports do not record some
portion of the issue redeemed. This
singular and unexplained fact has been
one of frequent comment and inquiry
from mint and treasury officials. "
Large quantities of the half-cents
are to he found in the stocks of coin
dealers. The most eomsaon dates are
sold at a good premium, and the
extremely rare ones die worth their
Ferran Zarbe, of SL Louis, was the
man who sent the two half-oents to
Washington for redemption. He now
prises highly the little voucher calling
for " one cent" which was sent to him
with that amount of eurrent coin in
exchange for the two balf-cent pieces
be had forwarded.

Kiuu City Journal.
A woman lives at one of the Kansas
City hotels who has the reputation of
being rather finicky and hard to please
in the matter of food. A day or so
ago at lunch, after looking over the
dessert lisL she decided on some ice
oream pudding. The meal had been
one with which she had had consider
hie difficulty in finding any fault,
but when she had about half finished
the dessert she called the waiter over
and said:
" George, what do you mean by call
ing this ice cream puddingT There
isn't any ice cream about it and you
know iL"
" Yea'm," Mid the waiter, " I know
dere ain't no ioe cream in it. Dat'a
jea' a name they give it. I do' know
why."
" Well," the eontinoed, " I think
that if they give a diah auch a name
they onght to make it conform to the
name, and if yon eall thia ioe cream
padding yon ought to bring aome ioe
cream with it."
" Yea'm," ana wared the aervitor,
" bat "yon know we can't alloa do it
that way. Yoa know we doeen't bring
eoottage in with cottage podding."
The waiter'e reply brought a bo rat
of laughter from the people who heard
the oooveraation, and ainoe then the

tience and keeping your youthful looks.

Dr. R.V. Pierce, the specialist in woman's
diseases, of Buffalo, N. Y., after a long ex
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract, would help the majority
of cases. This he called Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and it is put
up in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has Dr. Pierce in Its merits
that he offers SSOO reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All ha asks is a fair and reasonable
trim of his means of cure.
Mia. T. Dolsn, of Madrid, Perkins Co., Nebr,
writes: "I was cured of palnM periods by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
his Compound Extract of Smart-Weed. I think
Dr. Pierce's medicines the beat in the world.'
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Accept
no substitute for the medicine which works
wonders for weak woman.
