It Is probably not too much to say that the disappearance of the nickel would prove a greater shoe! to the finances of the nation than almost anything that could happen, The flve-cecoin for two generations, at least, has been the fixed prie of so many things that the people would be at complete loss how to proceed without it True, hundreds qf thousands of flve-cepieces are lost each year, but that Is due largely to the amazing use to which this little coin is put. The uses of business r.:- - quire the coinage of a greater number of nickels" than any other coin. The nickel is extensively used in telephone calls. .It was formerly more than now the open sesame of the popular slot machine, for which it still does extensive duty. It is the price of admission to the fast multiplying picture shows in all parts of the country. The d boot-shinin- g parlor 'charges a nickel. The saloonkeeper and the baker for years have gathered their daily harvest of these little coins ' The soda fountain, growing in popular favor, deals mostly in nickels. Ice cream in summer time' goes for five cents, and the charge for a myriad of things in the pharmacy' and the flve-cestore requires this coin. Most smokers would have to quit were it not for the nickel, obnoxious as the domestic cigar is to many of them. The cigarette would cease to be the popular smoke it is if the price were not five cents. Shoe laces would either become a luxury at a highef price or require payment in pennies. Turn which way one will, the flve-cepiece bobs bp at every turn as the most necessary coin of the realm. nt When Minister Bryims Cat Came Back navy looked about for some one on whom to unload the animal, and at Buenos Ayres they fell in with a Chilean As a token of the cordiality existing between them, the Impoverished Iowa officers gave the onca to the officers of the Chilean warship. Donor and recipient were pleased beyond measure, and the ships resumed their Journeys. 4 After the lapse of considerable time of Chilean warships stopped In the harbor at Rio Janeiro, and among the entertainments prepared fo the officers was one at the American legation. Minister Bryan was more than usually felicitous as a host, and the Chileans thought they should in some manner show their appreciation So the next day a delegation of beplumed and clanking warriors appeared at the legation, and after presenting Col. Bryan an address teeming with good nature they gave him the onca the same old cat. only larger and hungrier, and more repulsive and the minister turned away to hide his tears.

A large coffee importer, returning from a trip to the interior, brought with him a young onca, which is a species of wild cat or tiger, and he gave it to Col. Bryan as a testimonial of his regard. The minister was fdnd of animals, and prized his gift h'lghly, out the onca, while interesting during its youth, rapidly loses that attraction as it becomes older, one of its specialties being an insatiable appetite. The colonel wearied of his pet, and one day when some United States battleships were in port he presented the onca to the officers of the Iowa as a mascot.

Griggs' southern ire was aroused. Gua-daloup- e. Congresman Griggs of THE late once had an experience with a negro elevator operator in the post office department at Washington which the negro probably never will forget. The congressman entered an express elevator which was forbidden to stop below the fifth floor, on which is located the office of the postmaster general. "Let me off at the fourth floor, said the congressman. This elevator doan stop below the fifth flo', responded the negro with finality. Let me off at the fourth floor," commanded Griggs, looking the negro la the eye.

To show bow everything is in Washington, the secretary of the interior kindly callB the attention of congress to the .elevators in the interior department, which were put in service over thirty years ago. In the first place, these same elevators are little sheet-iroonly big enough to carry half a dozen and unable to lift over 300 or 400 pounds weight, and are reaJLy not safe as well as antique In character.
