One of Millions.

Once upon time there lived a man
who wanted only few things that
every body wants. He wanted plenty to
eat and drink, leisure and the woman
he loved. But he found that to have
time to himself to make it possible to
live pleasantly with his sweetheart and
give her all he wanted and to take care
of the children that they might have
to do all this he must have great deal
of money. So he went to work and
built up great business, very com
plicated machinery. To this money
producing machinery he was forced to
give most Of his energy. 1t gave him
no time for leisure, no energy for en-
ioying the sunshine, his wife and chill
dren. But he began to enjoy the ma
chinery of his business.
When he had made a large fortune,
the only thing he enjoyed was the ma
chinery by which he could make more
money. He had lost his interest in the
things for which he began his business
Perhaps he still had interest in food
his wife and all the naive physical and
sentimental pleasures, but it was a
blunted, dull interest. The only live
interest he had was his business. New

A Famous Milestone.

One of the oldest milestones is to be
seen in the museum at Leicester, Eng
land. 1t is cylindrical block of sand
stone, roughly inscribed with an alb
breviated statement to the effect that it
was erected during the emperorship of
Caesar Hadrian, son of Trajan, con-
queror of Parthia. 1t also says, ''To
Leicester, Two Miles. The Hadrian
milestone was discovered over century
ago beside the ancient Fosse way and
narrowly escaped being converted into
a lawn roller by the unromantic and
practical finder.

winter quarters at Valley Forge, one
day as Washington and his staff were
dining, fine hunting dog, which was
evidently lost, came to seek something
to eat On it's collar was the name,

Washington ordered that the dog
should be fed, and then he sent it to
Philadelphia under flag of truce, with
a letter reading: General Washing
toms compliments to General Howe.
He does himself the pleasure to return
to him a dog which accidentally fell
into his hands and by the inscription
on the collar appears to belong to Gen
eral Howe"

the attendance of the English high aud
manual training school was $50 boys
and young men and no girls. But re-
garding the manual training as equiva-
lent to the high school, we still have an
excess Of 2.094 girls or more than twice
rs many girls as boys. This fact sug-
%ests the question whether the girls are
not being educated away from the
boys, so to speak, to a serious extent.
The boys are taken from school at An
earlier age than the girls and, It Is 10 be

these special studies may compensate
for those pursued in the schools by the

WHERE DO ALL THE PINS Coz
What Was Found in the Seat of "a

"The old question. Where do all the

five or thirty years. As soon as we

spikes, and among the lot were several
dozen with separable heads that must
have been made a long time ago. The

were still threaded. One OF the thin
