are not overworked in this respect, as
crime is practically unknown. The
country is picturesque, and for such a
small domain, fairly varied in its seem
cry. The land is split up into little in
dividual allotments in the manner so
familiar to travellers on the continent.
The prosperity of the inhabitants de-
pends upon a certain valuable calamine
mine, but small amount of farming IS
also successfully carried on.
Both French and German are spoken
and are often mixed up in most curl
Gus manner.
Altenberg's chief claim to notoriety,
however, lies in the fact that the bor-
der of this tiny domain actually touch
es those of the adjacent countries of
Belgium, Holland and Germany.
OF the thousands who pass through
Aix-la-Chapelle on their summer hoG-
days to one of the many German baths,
few are probably aware that they are
so close to this quaint little community.

GOOD MORNING.

Good morning! Oh, good morning a1l!'
From every lip the same words fall.
ana yet learned in school last year,
They do not greet as we do here,
In countries far across the sea,
For children in old Germany
Say: "Guten Morgen!' and I'm sure
In sunny France they cry: bon jour!"
And boys and girls in Naples say.
IN such pretty, pleasant way:
Buon Giorno!' and my dear Aunt Jane,
Who Travelled long ago in Spain,
Says little Spanish children greet:
'Buenos Dias!" clear and sweet.
And so 1t Is the wide world through.
In Russia, and in Holland, too,
The queer old Turk, the Swede, the Dane
Not one can say: Good morning!' plain;
But some strange gibberish instead,
Ihat does not seem to me well-bred:
And only English folk and we
Can speak it as 1t ought to be.
So now I'm thinking up plan
To go abroad when I'm a man,
And teach these foreigners to say
Good morning:' in proper way

QUEER BIT OF EUROPE
4 Small Community Where There
Are No. Rulers, Soldiers
- Nor Taxes.

About five miles southwest of Aix-la-
Chapelle, that well-known junction
where so many summer tourists jump
in and out of trains, there is a tiny lit
tie village community called Altenberg,
or Vielle Montague, says the London
Daily Mail.
This little strip of q few hundred
acres owes allegiance to no king. kaiser
or president. It is an autonomous re-
public, smaller than Andorra or the
principality of Monaco. Its population
is nearly 5000, and they are mostly
farmers, agriculturists and miners.
There are no police, no soldiers and
(happy land!) there are no taxes to pay.
In 1916 this little corner of Europe
was declared by the powers to be ''neu-
trail ground" and it has maintained it's
independence ever since. There is a
burgomaster and council of elders of
the village community. They admin
ister such law as is found necessary, but

The proprietor dabbed little graphite on

the proprietor. Then he ran the machine
out to the curb, got on it and rode off.
When the proprietor got over being

the block to get their opinion as to whether
the $50 was counterfeit or the real thing.
The bill was genuine, and the proprietor has

20, do take it with me?" inquired
Mrs. Van Ripper. Il thought left it
here"
"Not unless you wish to draw some
money"
"Oh, thank you so much. Good morn
ing"
That evening Mrs. Van Ripper had a
lesson in drawing checks from her hus-
| band, when she had shown him the
fruit of her mornings interview in the
Rattlethem bank, which document he
carefully destroyed. For the first time
he made his wife understand that she
personally had some money at her dis
posal in the bank.
Next morning she visited her dress
maker and then proceeded to do some
shopping. She explained at the depart.
ment store where she had always pur.
chased goods that she wished to pay
her bill with check, and the superin-
tendent filled it out for her and had her
| afdx her signature.
"Now, you'll send these things home
just as though they were paid for?" she
said to the superintendent, who had
dealt with ladies who had bank &C.
| counts before.
"Precisely the same, madam" he said
smilingly. The bill was for $50, and he
knew that Van Ripper was good for it.
| Mrs. Van felt so elated over her success
| that she went to her milliner's and
bought two hats for $44, and then found
that she had no money for luncheon.
She had given the milliner a check for
the hats, and she told her of her predica-
ment.
II will cash check for you with
pleasure" said the milliner.
''Can you make it out for me just as
you did for yourself just now?" asked
Mrs. Van Ripper.
'Certainly" said the milliner; show
much does madam want?''
Madam thought that ten dollars
would be sufficient, and when she re.
ceived the crisp bills she felt effusively
grateful.
II shall surely pay you this to-mor-
row." she exclaimed as she went out OF
the shop, putting the money in her
purse.
Two days later Mrs. Van Ripper had
visit from one of the bank clerks. He
told her that she had overdrawn her
account, but she Indignantly denied it,
and showed him that,her book still ex-
listed as a proof of her financial sound
| ness.
"You can see for yourself that it is
| quite full of checks!" she said indig-
| nantly. II never heard of such thing!
Certainly, have money in the bank!'
ION the contrary, you owe us money,
Mrs. Van Ripper. You have overdrawn.
Can't you underestimate"
~ shall certainly tell my husband
about this!" exclaimed Mrs. Van Rip
per.
'He may be able to explain it to you
and please make the amount of the
overdraft good as soon as possible"
When Van Ripper came home there
was stormy half hour, tears and much
1explaining. As a result of it all Mrs
Van Ripper never renewed her bank ac.
count. She says that money is good
enough for her, and that when she paid
people with checks it always seemed al
though she still owed them the cash.
Besides that she said to her hus.
