DEATHBED FAREWELLS.
Emit, Word, of Men Who Attained
Fame In Hiatorj.
There arc few sayings- of great men
Saif so interesting as the few words
they utter before the curtain la rung
down for the last time.
What, for instance, could be sweet
er than this picture of the lust mo
ment of John Richard Green, the his
torlanV Lie had spoken the last sen
tences of tinnier farewell and grati
tude hiotlmse standing around his lied,
And then, placing hla forefinger on
hia pulse, he looked up at the doctor
■looping over him and with a smile
Nltered the one word, "Stopped."
Phelps' closing words were the moet
dramatic he had spoken on any stage.
He area playing Wolsey In Henry VII,
And had Just spoken the line, "Fare-
Well! a long farewell to all my great-
P—t." when he staggered and was
M off the Imards which lie was never
to tread again.
The first Alexander of -Russia was
touch troubled in his lasi hours at the
length of time he occupied in dying,
and made many apologies to his at
tendants. The last words he spoke
were to his wife, words spoken with i
deep tenderness. "You must be tired, 1
Blleabeth."
When Maxlmilllan was facing the
rifles of his executioners In- had no

full of his lovlug and loyal wife, and
Jaet before the fatal volley rang out
he exclaimed. "Poor Oarlotta!"
“A King should die standing." was
the proud sentence whieh closed tho
Kli of Louis XVII of France. Crom
well's dying words were, "My design
Is to make what haste I ean to be

Moment in trying to cheer his weep

attendants. “Why do you w.-epf
he said to them. "Do you think I
*en'd live forever? I thought dying
would have been more difficult."
Louis XVI of France did not live to
complete his last sentence "French
men,” he shouted, ss the executioners
4wgge<l him roughly to the block, “I
toe guiltless of the crimes Imputed to

France. If so"—At this moment his
voice was drowned by the loud bMt

Willing to Let Her Swear.
While Carrie Nation was waiting for
a Western train in the Worcester
(Mass i lie]sit, u few years ago, of
course she had a great number of lis
teners when talking temperance.
Among hoi alienee was a fellow who
bad been imbibing and whom she was
using as an example during her dia
course.
The victim listened attentively, and,
being tbe cynosure of ill eyes, Hnd
knowing lie was being used as a tar
get, reciprocated one of Carrie’s re
marks with a curse. Mrs. Nation im- j
mediately advanced toward her friend,
shaking one of the hatchets she had
for Baku and said; "How dare you
swear before me. sir?" and the fellow
replied: “Pardon me, Carrie, but I
didn’t think you wanted to swear
first.”

OUR OLD TIME COINS.
Fraftiomil Currency Thin Hu Com
Into Its-11 rrnien t. ”
One freiinentlycomes across the old
i Jolly looking big copper cents, partic
ularly iu small towns and country
places. It was In 1857 that their coty
age was discontinued by act of con
gress. uud late archives lu the treasury
! department show that at the end of the
last fiscal year there were of them out
standing over $1,000,000.
Further coinage of the half cent coins
ended at the same time The total
amount of these coined altogether
was about $40,000,000, speaking in
round numbers. The two ceut pieces
were of liroure metal. Their enforced
retirement from commercial activity
began lu 1873, since which date the
mints have not been busy with their
manufacture. The little silver three
cent pieces trouble the marts no lon
ger. though, some of them may be hid
den away somewhere to serve as rel
ics. Their eoinugc began in 1857 aud
continued until February. 1873. The

age of which began over a century ago.
received its quietus, so far as its man
ufacture was concerned, at the sain*
date as the three cent silver piece.
Other of these minor coins that have
had their day are In honorable retire
ment in the hoards of collectors, in
museums anil elsewhere. Among these
are the nlokel three cent pieces and the
little old gray faced nickel cfents.
though It Is easy to run across one of
these little coins occasionally. Their
making at the mints lasted from 1857
to 1864. Then there used to be a sil
ver twenty cent piece. This Is also
among tbe list of bus beens.
Many of course can remember tho
days of the infants of coinage, the one
