The farmers sows his crop

Squirrels do not entirely subsist on
nuts, as most people suppose. They
are large fruit eaters, and often work
havoc in the orchards in the autumn.
They are also not above stealing part

NOVELTY TO PRINCE HENRY.
Reward for the First Man Who Called
Him a HIockhead.

Prince Henry of Prussia, while rid
ing In an automobile near kiel recent
ly, suddenly found his way blocked by
a large farm wagon which was going
at a snail's pace. The princes chauf-
feur blew his horn over and over
again, but it produced no effect on the
sturdy old farmer who was guiding
the sluggish horses, and finally the
prince told the chauffeur to try to
pass the wagon at all hazards. This
he did, and, though the passage was
very narrow, he skilfully managed to
avoid an accident. The horses
plunged, however, as the putting ma
chine passed by them, and the old
farmer, reused from his apathy,
poured forth storm of maledictions
on the stalwart gentleman in the au-
tomobile.
You're nothing but big block
head!" he finally shouted: and at the
words the prince whispered to the
chauffeur, who at once left the car
riage and went up to the old man.
what do you mean by calling his
royal highness a blockhead?" he ask
ed him.
Heavens above! Is that his royal
stammered the farmer
Good Lord! didn't know twas him"
"All right" answered the chauffeur.
THE prince is satisfied that you did
not know him, and as you are the first
person who has ever called him
blockhead he wishes to return the
by presenting you with
these five dollars"
