putting pennies in the slots and found
out through the stenographer to what use
the little banks were to be put. When
Weldon had gone to lunch Lacey hunted
about the stockroom and found some iron
washers about the size of pennies. With
the assistance of the office boy he shook
the coppers out of the globes and inserted
the worthless bits of metal The follow
ing Sunday, after Weldon had delivered
his talk and the banks, fourteen children
rushed home and shook the iron washers
out on fourteen parlor carpets. The walls
that arose were heartrending and twenty
eight fathers and mothers Indignantly de-
clared that Weldon was not fit to hold
the position of instructor in the Sunday
school Everybody in the church-save
WeIdon-was informed. The greetings of
old-time friends grew distant and formal.
Finally the Sunday school class was TAX
en- away from Weldon and put in the
hands Of a young lady, who started by
asking the 10-year-olds If they had read
Quo Vadis,' and the worst Of 1t all is
that Weldon doesn't know what has
brought him to the ground, q. crumbling
pillar of the church.-Chicago Record.
