On one occasion a new silver dollar found itself in the same
plate with a penny with the head of an Indian upon it. And the
goddess of Liberty looked down upon the Indian, and said: “You
miserable, copper-faced, feather-trimmed heathen, what are you
doing in this plate, in the same company with me?” And the
copper coin, with the Indian’s face, responded: “I am found in a
great many more missionary gatherings than you are!”
