Correspondence of the ‘London Times’
Chicago, April 5, 1904
To-day, by a clipper of the Electric Line, and the latter’s Electric Railway connections, arrived an envelope from Vienna, for Captain Clayton, containing an English farthing. The receiver of it was a good deal moved. He called up Vienna, and stood face to face with Mr. K., and said:
‘I do not need to say anything: you can see it all in my face. My wife has the farthing. Do not be afraid—she will not throw it away.’
