The Sort of Table Ho Wanted.
Tbe following: conversation was over
heard between a Joiner aud bis cus
tomer a short time ago:
Joiner? Please, sir, I've brought the
table you ordered me to make.
Customer? Well, put It down here,
my wan, and let's see what sort of
Job you've made of It.
Tbe man set It down In tbe middle
of tbe room, and the customer exam
ined It wltb tbe air of a critic.
Customer? Why, my man, there is
here a crack filled up with putty.
Joiner? Yes, sir. Well, sir, 1 know
about that, but it won't be noticed
when It sets bard.
Customer (coming across some more
putty)? But here's some more, my
man. What is the meaning of this?
Joiner? Well, sir, you see, a little bit
of wood chipped off the corner, and I
Just put a little putty there to fill up.
It won't do no harm, sir, when it's set
hard.
Customer (finding some more putty
patches)? Look here, my man, this
won't da Why. here's a big lump
right In tbe middle of this leg. What
can you say about that?
Joiner (scratching bis head and try
ing hard to find some excuse by which
to retrieve his honor)? Well, sir, that's
no harm whatever, and the putty when
It sets hard will be firmer and harder
than tbe wood. So, you see, it will be
all the better if you wait a bit, sir.
Customer (sarcastically)? Here, my
good man. Just take this table home
and bring me one made of putty alto
gether. 1 want a good strong one, and j
you can fill up the cracks with wood.? 1

The Cant and Half Cant
First coined In 17S7 by the United
8tate? government, tbe federal one
fent pleot. was antedated. by. copper
wnts struck or several states. Ver
mont before being admitted to the
Union coined the first cents In the
country In June, 1785. Connecticut.
Massachusetts, New York and New
Jersey also put the copper coins Into
circulation. Under the constitution
the first coinage act. passed In 1702.
authorized a cent of 2C4 era in 3. In
171*3 It was reduced to 208 grains and
in 1796 to ICS grains. The ICS grain
"copper" remained unchanged, except
In pattern, nntll 1S57. passing through
seven designs. Until 1S37 half cents
also were coined. In that year the
half cent was abolished and a new
cent was ordered, weighing only sev
enty-two grains and composed of 8S
per cent of copper and 12 per cent of
nickel. In 1SG-1 the present bronze cent
was authorized. This weighs forty
eight grains and Is composed of 95
per cent copper and 5 per cent tin
and zinc.? Argonaut.

Don't forget the entertainment on
the 15th at the A. B. hall.
Tho vaudeville show perpetrated by
Montle Snow at A. B. hall last night
could hardly, in all candor, be termed
an unqualified success. In the first
place several of the amateur Thes
pians got chilled pedals at the elev
enth hour ? which could hardly be
wondered at, considering the temper
ature of the hall ? and those who did
brave the audience, performed under
difficulties.
The electric lights acted Jn a some
what eccentric manner and tor long
periods the scene resembled that of
a spiritualistic seance ? with flicker
Ing lights and weird shadows, while
Prof. Victor Sparks did the material
ization stunt with a lump of clay.
Everybody was happy, however, and
when the lights wore low a bashful
bunch of batchellors in the back of
the hall hummed In soft refrain. "Ua
by Dear, Listen Here, I'm Afraid to
Go Home In The Dark." Humorous
and audible comments were made by
the audience.
The dance after the show was a
very pleasant affair and gave every
body a chance to get. their feet warm
About 65 were present.
