Of Anam's Treasury.
Some years ago the king Of Anam
was somewhat perplexed to devise a
means to defend a considerable amount
Of recently acquired treasure, seeing
that in Anam iron safes Of good
resisting power are unknown and in
view Of the further fact that unfortu-
nately among his majesty's loyal sub
tects there were no inconsiderable
number Of adroit thieves. So therefore
the king had to resort to some means
in harmony with the natural clrcum.
stances of his country.
Armed human guards he could not
fully trust. AnimalsSdo not steal mon
ey, and nature had supplied his majes:
ty with an animal that could not be
wheedled or killed except with a great
deal Of danger and trouble. The croco-
ollie is such an animal. Happy thought!
The king would have the crocodile
guard his specie reserve.
Yet to avail himself Of the services
Of the crocodile he must keep his mon
ey in a place where crocodiles are at
home. Nothing was more simple. In

no clover hay to make and that has

growth to the cold, early spring while
others say blight has struck the
vines, stopping their growth.
The wheat will not measure up to

as much wheat as last year.
