ELIP3 MONET INTO THEIB HANDS. omtima the Coin, Not Given toy . Mistake, la Sovereign Worth $4.80 and Sometimes m. Half Sov erelffn Reolplenta of the Money Are Told t Keep It as a Pocket Piece. ' A generous Englishman i3 making glad the days of the newsboys of St. Louis. Not all of them hare shared his generosity indeed, only a small per cent . of ' them but those who have know that it is not of the short meas ure variety, and those who haven't are eagerly awaiting this strange man's entree into their lives, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He is giving away gold, and not by mistake ' either. With each coin he gives to the boys he stoops over and in a soft, round voice wishes the boy suc cess, tells him to live a good life and "keep this for a pocket piece." Sometimes "this" is a sovereign, and sometimes it is a half sovereign, both beautiful coins, the former of the value of $40 in . United States money and the latter $2.40. Flffcing"tne"'"corn in the boy's hand of slipping It into his pocket, the big stranger takes his -paper and disap. pears. One of the boys at noon the other day, described his unknown benefactor as a man perhaps forty-five years old, 6 feet 2 inches -tall, having a pointed gray beard and wearing a long black overcoat and light colored checked suit. , The newsies are on the qui vive over the unheralded appearance in their midst of this mysterious person. Many are the stories they tell of his gifts to them and to others and of incidents Connected with the gifts. Several little street merchants, not familiar with gold and the money of other lands, have refused the shining pieces of coin bearing the late queen's picture in payment for aNpaper, where upon the big man, smiling rather than trying to argue with them, has emptied his pockets of the small change they contained. Other little fellows have accepted the pretty coins, but have bartered them as quickly as possible for three or four pennies from some other boy who ei ther knew better than they or was willing to take a chance. - Gold is plentiful in newsboys' circles. Some of the boys are doing as the big stranger asked them to do keeping their gold : as pocket pieces to bring them good luck. It is estimated that this stranger has already given about twenty gold coins to the boys. His field of operations seems limited to the cen ter of the downtown business district, ri rfjp -a- A jy.

Those theater-goers who have not seen "A Hot Old Time'Jhave heard of it a a mirth-provoking musical farce comedy of great excellence. This season, besides being all of that, it is, in addition, a splendid spectacle, bril liant in diversified color, boiling over with new and clever wit, and the latest and most catchy music of the great popular composers of the day. It is all new new and bright in every par ticular, and it is as refreshing as a glass of iced champagne. The scenery is fresh from the skilled touch of the accomplished scenic artist, and the costumes from the hands af the deft fingered cbstumers. the otitlay for these two items of the production alone amounting to $25,000.

Then there is trouble, for the judge's haughty sister Theon dora takes a hand and persuades the rustic bride that her husband has grown tired of her. The' bride runs away to the hemlock forests of Maine, where her lover husband follows, and after a medley of incident there is a general reconciliation and a happy finis.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. A hearty reception was accorded by two large audiences to the bill that had it9 first presentation at the. Jacques yesterday, and it was made very cleat that the show is of the kind to hold popularity during the week. The deadline feature contributed by the Juggling Johnsons is a marvelous ex hibition of dexterity with the Indian clubs. The manipulators do all sorta of strange and weird and mysterious things with clubs of all sizes and weights, and at times the air is thick with flying clubs so that it seems like a hail of wood and steel. It is an act of singular attractiveness and is bound to become a headliner of special popu larity. Hal Stephens, who provides a second headline feature, presents I1I3 splendidly artistic impersonations of well known stage people, among others Richard Mansfield, Jimmy Russell and John L. Sullivan, and winds up with a condensed version of "Rip Van Win kle," which is put on with special ; scenery and costumes that make it very -true to the original. Other clever ; acts hold favor on the bill, especially well received being those by Harris and Walters and Laura Comstock and her singing hoys. Others on the bill are John Mayou and company, Pierce and Maizee, Mosher's dogs and the eleetrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; evenings 10 and 20 cents, ladies ia "MAUD MULLER. The dramatization of Whittier's f am, oUsi and familiar poem, "Maud Muller," will be seen at Poll's to-morrow after noon and evening. No one with blood In his veins ever read this poem with out wishing he Jiad been in the judge's boot's, because,' if he had, how different it would all have been. The judge in the stage version acts differently. He acts just as we would have him. He MEETINGS TO-NIGHT. Court R. F. Phelan, P. of A. Myrtle temple, R. S. Court Oregon, F. of A. Rainbow council, O.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR CROUP. (From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe) This Is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighbor hood. One of the most terrible,thlngs in the world is to be awakener in the middle of the night by a Whoop from one of the children. The croup reme dies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost In case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy, for croup, , known as ihJve syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is better- and does not .cost so much. . It causes the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a shorter', time. Give this remedy as soon as fhe.crouipy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and. is pleasant to take. For .sale by all druggists. , "Tv AMATEUR COIN MAKERS Growth of Iowa Community's Minting: Business. THE MOKE YIS MADE OP ALUMIOTUM Novel Scheme Adopted by Williams (la.) Cltlaena to Expand Clcula tlon The Coins Have No Intrinsic Value, bat Can Be Paaaed For Sfer- i chandiae and Drlnlca. t Tired of hearing of an "expanded currency" and seeing it only in bargain counter lots, the merchants and farm ers of Williams, la., and its vicinity have gone into the minting business on their own account and are turning out barrels of coins dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes which pass cur rent for anything from a shave to a thrashing machine. The coins are made of aluminium, and an individual's wealth is gauged by his shape, th lumpiest person being the richest be cause the bulging pockets contain hand fuls of fiat money. The 'coins have practically ' no intrin sic value, but are redeemable at stores for merchandise and at saloons for drinks, their value being guaranteed by the association of merchants au thorizing their issue. The first coins minted were given out by merchants as rebates on purchases on the same basis that the varicolored trading stamps are issued by merchants in the east and were redeemable for their face value in merchandise. So many merchants went into the scheme and the coins became so plentiful that they began to pass current as freely as authorized coin, and instead of hoard ing the aluminium disks for a purchase at the store from which they were is sued the people began Nx make small purchases with them, pay debts and use them in poker games. When the men folks found that they could pur chase liquid refreshment with the light weight coins they ceased to turn them over to the goodwife for her to save up enough to get a grand piano or a seal skin sack and kept them in their pock ets as they would loose change. With the enormous expansion in the issue of these coins, coupled with the growth of their general use, pockets are now being made longer, and the women find the valise-like handbags now af- f ected a real blessing when they start out on a shopping tour. The size of the contribution boxes in the churches has been increased, and the only place in town that won'ft accept the aluminium fractional currency is the post office. Uncle Sam demands money of his own -kind.. .-; , - ' At; Webster, . Ia., the flat money scheme has also been successfully in- troduced and promises to spread over the state like a plague of locusts. Once or twice at Webster the coins have been at a premium. At present it looks as though the aluminium coins would soon be the popular medium of exchange for the entire weft.
