One day he arrived at his friend the

An Expensiue Dollar.

Not long ago in this town kind
friend of the family gave one of the
kids dollar. OF course 1t was too
much to let the kid get out and spend
for candy and gum. SO 1t was reli.
giously put UP on the sideboard or
some other safe place to be kept-iust
for what the deponent saith not. In
about a week the juvenile owner of
the big round coin remarked at the
breakfast table, Papa, mamma spent
my dollar yesterday" The head of
the house took the hint and fished up
another dollar, which, like Its prede-
cessor, was placed in good safe place
to keep,
During the next month by careful
ly tabulated record which he kept on
his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar
just thirteen times. So ut the end of
the month you will not be surprised to
learn that our friend sent the donor of
the original dollar this curt note:
Dear Sir-Inclosed you will find a check
for 81. It's the dollar you gave our
youngster. l return It simply to avoid
bankruptcy. Already 1t has cost me some.

on Thursday night, the next day was
Friday, the AIohammedan Sabbath,
which was followed by the Jewish
Sabbath-the Hebrew element in Tan
sier is considerable and strict in re-
ligious observance-and that in turn
by the Christian Sunday. Subsequent
comparison, however, revealed little
difference between any days of the
week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath
black flag is hoisted on the minarets

white flag that announces the time of
devoticns on other days. 1t remains
up until the middle of the forenoon,

The Tax of the Insect.

During the year just passed the In

more money than the nation expended
on its army and navy, in paying all
the claims on its mountainous pension
roll and in all expenditures on the
Panama canal. G. L. Bartlett, assist

perimental field work, has worked out
the above statement; and as the value
of the crop of the past season approx
mated eight billion dollars, he esti.
mates ravages Of the myriad insect at
about 800 million dollars. The sum
does not include the loss to cereals
and forage crops in storage, nor to
natural forests and forest products;
the losses from those two sources, at
100 million dollars each, bringing the
annual rural insect tax to an even
billion dollars.-The World To-day
