NEW LEGAL TENDER.

One Potato Pays for Three Beers in Colorado Town. Denver, Colo., July 29.—A new legal tender has appeared in Milliken, Colo., caused by scarcity and high price of potatoes. P. A. Murphy stepped into a saloon at Milliken, ordered a glass of bey, and when that was gone a second, and then laid on the bar a nice, clean potato. Murphy called for his change, and the - barkeeper gravely returned him a nickel and put the potato in the cash drawer.
