The disappearance of the 3-cent piece has for years been a matter of mild speculation. The New York. Sun 3ays persons are aware that a large proportion of the coins of this denom ination which remained in circulation when the government stopped issuing them are peaceably slumbering in 3undry large fat canvas bags in the vaults of a certain electrical manufac turing company of Chicago. They are not for sale just yet. Each of the coins Is an evidence of petty larceny. Years ago tAe company eauiDDed many telephone pay stations with dime slot machine. It was supposed that they could b worked only with dimes. The 3-cent sieces were becoming rare and no thought was taken of them. Hardly six months passed before one of the telphone companies discovered that the collectors were yielding a harvest ft 3-cent pieces. Then from all overAhe country came similar com plaints Eachf company forwarded the pieces to th .manufacturing company and more or less politely asked that a cor responding number of dimes or a ;he for an equivalent amount be lenf back in exchange. council was held at the office of th manufacturing company. The cost of correcting the boxes was compared th fairly trustworthy information the number of 3-cent pieces In cir culation. It was found that a balance kraa in favor of the 3 cents and it was iecided to accept the pieces as dimes. Gradually the inpour of 3-cent pieces narrowed down to an intermittent current. The company seemed to have about all the pieces. It is said that If ever the premium on 3-cent pieces goes high enough the coins will be offered to collectors at prices based upon the original cost to the company, plus 6 per cent a year, plus cost of storage, plus cost of guard ing, plus cost of carrying the fund I upon the books. Long ago the slot machines that collected them were rel- egated to the scrap heap. ; t " ilfRflM Th Chaara. Mrs. Chugwater Josiah, this paper talks about "peanut politics."
