Show a warm penny. The fireman of tho steam heating 1 apparatus at the Central depot yesterday yes-terday found a penuy as he was raking rak-ing over tho ashes in the furnace, and he took it up with tho tongs, and placed iton the bench outside to cool, when a heavy man named Johnson living in Saginaw, came along. He was talking business with a friend, and as he came to the bench, he parted his coat tails and sat down on the penny remarking: "As I was saying, you cau have forty acres for whoop! Thunder and blaies ouch dash it gosh to whoop ! " He galloped around in wild amazement the hot penny sticking to him like a brother, and it was two or three minutes min-utes before anyone found out whether ho had dropped down on a tack or been bitten by a dog. There wits a heavy aroma of burning cloth and blistered meat, and Mr. Johnson i stretched forth his arm and exclaimed ! that he should devote the remainder -of his life to hunting down the fiend who thus planned to wavlay him Detroit Press.
