we nowadays use the word .tyrant.
Near the city there are several vast
caves. formed by the action OF water
on the limestone rocks and one OF
these is known as the Ear OF Dionys-

yards 1t is about seventy feet high
and then the roof begins to descend.
AT the further end OF the arch. and at
about sixty feet from the floor, is n
small hidden chamber followed In the
rock. Here, so the story goes Do

Watching the TrIfIes.

"Take care OF tho pennies, and the
dollars will take care OF themselves"
is the burden of the famous old saw,
and conveys q truth that, wisely APP
piled, leads TO independence and COM
potency. Lord Althorpe, the we'll
known English statesman, evidently
was firm believer in the trite saying;
at any rate, his actions bore the i'm
press Of painstaking care and rigid
honesty, which is better than all the
old sayings in the world.
Althorpe was one OF the most hon.
ored and loved of the Wing leaders in
Parliament. He never introduced q
bill into Parliament until he had
thoroughly examined its minutest
provisions.
On one occasion he was looking over
the accounts OF an agricultural soci-
ETY. before signing his name as presi-
dent. He detected an error of three
pence in the balance-sheet, and refused
to sign the statement until the error
was corrected. He spent four hours
going over the accounts again, to re-
move the error, saying to a friend:
zone three pence may swell into q
hundred pounds next year If We
neglect it,"

Polite Bows.

George and Henry Grafton, to I'LL
their time during vacation, and to
make little money, set up candy
and popcorn store with their parents
permission, in an unoccupied shop on
the village street.
"Now," said George, we shall have
q good manv ladies among our Gus
toners, and it won't do to let the
men smoke in here"
"Oh mol" said Henry: "we'll put up
a big sign, NO Smoking Allowed"
81 guess wee better be little more
polite in our notice." said George,
$50 that we shan't offend any OF our
smoking customers"
The boys put their heads together
to invent polite "no smoking" notice;
and at last, with pleasing sense OF
having done exactly the right thing,
hung up the following neatly lettered
inscriptions:
Customers will pleas take Notise
That if they wish to smoke in Here
They will pleas either Extinguish their
Pipes or else Go Outdoors.
