Sanctimonious Penny.

Jerome S. McWade, the millionaire collector of Duluth, was appealing on the Mauretania for a seaman’s fund. “Let the collection be generous,” he said. “We want none of the penny and quarter parable here.” A penny and a quarter, side by side in a pocket, fell into conversation. “I’m worth 25 of you,” said the quarter haughtily. “That’s true,” replied the humble penny, “but in one respect, sir, I’m superior to yourself.” “Pshaw; how so?” said the quarter. . “I go to church, sir, far, far oftener than you,” replied the penny.
