for 8 or 10 or 12 cents. In conversa

serted that he did not believe that the
price would ever reach 20 cents again.;
and offered should It do so to throw
away $100 In coin. Last w;eek he sold
his hop crop for 25 cents, and lome
diately announced that be was pre
pared to fulfill his promise. He said
that he would throw the money in the
street In the form of nickels for boys
and girls to scramble for. Yesterday
at 1 p. m. was set as the time, and at
that hour hundreds of children were
or hand. When the first handful was
scattered there was a grand rush.
Handful after handful followed.' and
Mr. Brown was careful to see that the
weaker, of the children were given an
equal chance for .the- nickels. Some of
the boys managed to get as many s
a dosen'of more nickels. The Salem
visitors say that after the 2.000 nickels
werev thrown to the children Mr.
Brown went among the youngsters
and gave away more nickels Jo those
