I t is one of our great national fa d s that every scrap of metal which has ever received the stamp of le gality from a United States mint is good until defaced or redeemed. There are therefore a great many thousand dofiars’ worth o f old-fash ioned coins wandering around which no one ever thinks of trying to spend or would agree to take, except as a curiosity. The principal of these are the old silver 5 and 3-cent pieces, the nickel 3-cent piece and the bronze 2-eent piece, says the New York Sun. Askance is looked more and more frequently at the larger silver coins with the seated figure o f Liberty, and even the “ nickel” with the fig ure “ 5” which ceased to be coined I in 1883, while the Jonah of the ! whole fam ily ia the still perfedlv legal tender half-aent, coined he- twe< i the years 1793 and 1857. What would happen if a busy trol ley conductor were tendered ten of these as a fare at tin* rush hour mav best be left to the imagination. Tin smallest check ever issued by the United States treasury is one for “ 1 cent.” mailed a few vears ago to a San Francisco wag who stood on his constitutional right to present two bronze half cents for redemp tion. testify to the worth of Just What I Wanted- Some Silk Hose That is the nice thing about giving Silk Hose- Yon know that is what they want Silk Hose Felt Slippers, Moccasins Humming Bird and Kayser Silk Hose are All Independence knows that Valitons is much appreciated by well dressed women headquarters for Ladies Fine Shoes.
