"Seven-and-twenty years ago woman

a child. boy, behind her. was for
sending the poor little mite to the
work house and putting the police on
to look for the woman for deserving it,.
But my missis was soft-hearted; she
was sorry for the poor tramp woman
and sorry for the child. We had none
of our own, and that was a great grief
to her. She persuaded me, as it would
be company for her to have child to
bring up and look after, and she talk
ed me into keeping the tramp woman's
child. My wife took to it from the
first, and in time the boy was looked
upon as part of our family.

to work with me when John Wilson
was young. He told me it was in the
papers as young chap named John
Wilson was up at the police court for
forgery. and he had been committed
for trial-a young soldier. had heard
as John had enlisted. so when the trial
came on I went to the court and 1

Sir Mark listened to the farmers

after YOU took this boy in, a firm of
solicitors put an advertisement into
a number of newspapers. asking for
information as to child who had
been deserted by it's mother. Several
people must have known of your hav-
ing adopted a deserted child. Did no
one mention the advertisement to
you?"
The farmer shook his head. 81 never
heard of It," he said: "but that is not
to be wondered at. Me and my missis
didn't read papers very often, and our
farm was right away from the main
road in a lonely sort of place. Our
hands as knew about our taking the
child in all lived round about, and
most of 'em weren't scholars enough
to read papers in their evenings. OF
course, things be different now. If I'd
heard as inquiries were being made

Origin Of Cards.

The origin Of cards lies far back in
the hidden antiquity of Asia, no record

the source. 1t was from the distant
Orient that cards, along with chess,

THE BEST THANKSGIVING.

In a somewhat cold and selfish
world the fine charity of the Greeley
school children shines out as a
bright and hopeful sign of better
things. Through their generosity
over 100 persons in Greeley saw the
real meaning of a Thanksgiving day.
We have always felt that through
the schools, more than any other in
stitution, must come the better and
nobler manhood and wolnaphood of
the country. To selfishness can be
traced practically all wrong, social,
political and economic. Only con-
stitutional change in human nature
will make things much better and
the proper place to begin is with the
child. Teach unseltishness and the
rights of others in the school and the
result in a generation or two will
undoubtedly be remarkable. The
work has already begun and is bear
ing splendid fruit. While the un-
fortunate ones. who for the time may
be down, we're made happy by being
remembered by others, nothing could
equal the JOY and happiness displayed
by the youngsters who brought their
bundles Of clothing or food to the
school rooms last Wednesday to be
gathered up by Mr.. Tisdel to be
again distributed to other children.
We cannot express In words how
proud we are OF the school children
of the city for what they did this
Thanksgiving day.

tn. Leaf Gutter BE-.

A writer describes the interesting
operate of the bee called the
"leaf cutter" This insect drills in
sand bank hole ten inches deep
and half an inch in diameter and
divides it into about dozen com
partments or cells. Each cell is
composed of pieces of leaf, cut into
proper shapes and carefully fitted
together. Rose leaves and sweet
pea leaves are among the favorites
of the bees. The cutting is done
with the jaws, while the six legs
hold the leaf in position and enable
the insect to turn itself about with
the precision of pair of comp passes.
Some of the cut pieces ara lhrfect
circles. Others are oblon9 iKgres
of varying proportions. Having cut
out the segment of leaf, On opera
ton requiring about twenty seconds,
the bee carries it to the sand bank
and then returns for more materials,
When a piece has been nearly cut
off the bee, in order to prevent tear
ing, poises itself in the air with its
wings and completes the operation
with a clean cut.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

One of the best indications that
the financial troubles are practically

Ghey enne and another cutoff near

II. Golden Fleece.

1t was on Jan. 10, 1929, in the
ancient city of Bruges that Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy and
Brabant, set the climax upon the
scene of indescribable splendor that
formed the setting of his nuptials
with Isabel of Portugal by issuing
the proclamation which called into
being the Order of the Golden
Fleece, for centuries the most coyet-
ed distinction for the mighty Of this
earth, the reward for stainless chiv-
airy and deeds of heroism and PROV
ess, forfeitable at the least deyiation
from the strictest code of nightly
honor. The conduct of the soyer-
eign himself, chief of the order

censure by the chapter, and many

bled knights availed themselves of

absolutely safe, it las the olsao'an'
tase of imposing direct loss upon
the depositor because he must pay
for the money order. With the posta'
savings bank he would not only save
this loss but would be paid two per
cent interest besides.
Going further into the details OF
the plan, Mr.. Meyer would limit the
deposit of each person over ten years
of age to $500, In order that 1t might
truly become savings bank and not
one in which persons of big means
might make a safe investment at
small interest. The plan, 1t Is be-
lieyed. would be especially attract
i've to immigrants who would other
wise hoard their savings or send them
back to their old countries.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

In his annual report, Postmaster
General Meyer recommends three i'm
portant things: the establishment Of
. postal savings bank, an increase in
the weight limit on parcels to eleven
pounds with a rate of twelve cents a
pound, and the establishment of q
special parcel post system on rural
free delivery routes with special
rates.
All of these communications are
good, but at the present time the most
important of these is the postal saw
ings bank. This would probably be
one of the best safety valves that
could be put upon business. With
postal savings bank the evils of such
financial flurries as we have Just
passed through would be minimized.
Timid persons would deposit their
savings with postal people and draw
two per cent interest and be abso-
lutely guaranteed against loss BY the
government. The government in
turn would put this money back into
circulation ny depositing same with
certain national banks known to be
absolutely safe. Thus, all deposi-
tors would be protected, and at the
same time legitimate business would
not be deprived of it's life blood
During the past two months great
deal OF money has been deposited
with the government by individuals
buying money orders payable te
themselves. While this method /.

NApoLEoN's OLD COAT.
Garment For Which He Had Sort OF
superstitious Rsvsrenes.

At the 13 Vendemiaire Napoleon
was in such state of POVERTY that
his clothes were all torn and he did
not own sword. He had to borrow
one. and the day following hi sue,
cess he had to get quantity OF
cloth from the state to have q suita.
BILE uniform made. From this mo-
ment, however, he paid great attcn-
ton to his toilet and took certain
pride in richly decorated clothes
At Marengo he wore uniform
covered with gold embroidery, uni
form to which he attached sort OF
superstitious reverence. Whcn he
went to Milan, for instance, 10 be
crowned king of Italy he ATTENDED
a review on the field Of battle in the
old fashioned and much tarnished
suit he had worn on the memorable
18th of June, 1900.
He never parted with this old
coat. He brought it with him to
St. Helena. and when he was dead
his companions put it over him.
When Napoleon became consul he
still took great care Of his toilet,
but he affected simplicity all the
more. as he wished his generals and
suit to be gorgeous in gold uniforms
and plumed helmets.
1t was then he took to wearing
the gray redingote and the hat
which. as well as the uniform, has
been decreed to the Empress Eu-
genie. At first the hat was low
crowned with wide border, but lit
tie by little it got higher and higher
until it became the hat every one
knows. The hat was Of long hairy
felt. what hatters called "castor
francaise,' and it had lining of
grayish green silk. Napoleon wore
his hats for long time and sent
them to be repaired again and

for Dinner

As has been customary for the last
few wears, Mr.. and Mrs. j. S, Ho'-

her OF Normal school girls at the
Holland farm with Thanksgiving
dinner and general good time.
There we're about forty young women

on account of having sold out his
own farm and moved to Greeley Mr..
Holland induced his son, Emory, to
omen up his farm home to the young
ladies'.
A big bonfire OF cottonwood logs,
such as but few ever have chance
to see here, opened che fun In the
morning. Then there we're bags OF
candy hidden all over the farm that
the girls we're asked to hunt up.
This sport gave splendid appetites
for the turkey and cranberries, and
the ladies certainly did justice to the
spread.
Following dinner there were more
games and then the ride back to the
city.
Mr.. Holland has for some years
made it a practice to invite q lot Of
young ladies', who have no homes
here, to make the Holland home
their home on Thanksgiving, and his
guests usually include most Of the
young women of the Normal school
who have no friends here to invite
them to dinner that day.
