How It Came About That He Secured
. Nestfui Of Nuts.
Gray Squirrel bad a nest up in a
maple tree near the kitchen door. from
which he conId peep down to see when
Mrs. Reed. who lived in the house. put
out a crisp crust of bread or a couple
of nuts for his breakfast. Every norn-
ing be would watch. and kind Mrs.
Reed never forgot to throw out some
thing uice for MIN.
That morning. when Gray Squirrel
peeped down at the house. there Oh
the porch stood the grocery boy With
small basket of nuts. The boy
knocked at the door. but no one re-
piled. so be finally placed the basket
on the sill and went away.
Now. Gray Squirrel knew that never
before bad Mrs. Reed put so many
nuts on the porch for him. but who
else could she be buying nuts for:
And. besides. that was where bis nuts

holding it between his front paws as
squirrels always do. Then. taking
them one at time in bis mouth. he
carried them up to his nest till his
nest was filled.
There were only a few nuts left in
the basket when Mrs. Reed came out
to see il it were there. and bow sur

The Neglected Cold.

From the Duluth Herald
A cold-which isn't cold at all,
but fever-seems to most people a
trifling affair, thing to be joked
about and made an excuse for con-
Stunning ardent liquors. Fortunately.
in a great many cases cold is a trifl-
Ing thing: but like many other trifling
things. it should never be treated con-
temptuously as something to be ignor-
ed and neglected. Countless graves
are filled by neglected colds. Pneu-
monia and tuberculosis reap their
thousands of victims through the me-
dunn of neglected colds.

GOLD AND SILVER MONEY.

How Uncle Sam Converts Bullion Into
Beautiful Coin.
In a vault in the mint at Philadel.
phia are piles of bricks made Of solid
gold. Each brick Is only as large as
cake Of kitchen soap. but it weighs
about forty pounds. In another vault
the silver bullion is kept. These bricks
are much larger and much heavier.
Both Of these metals are to be made
into money for the United States.
When the gold coins are to be made
the precious metal is alleged with cop
per and other metals to make it hard.
Pure gold is SO soft that it can be
scratched with the finger nail. so is
never used even for jewelry. After
the gold has been hardened by adding
the other metals to it It II made into
ingots. which look like long gold
wedges. They are about a foot long.
as wide as a twenty dollar gold piece
and two inches thick.
When the silver comes from the
melting room it. too. is poured into
strips or bars. The ingots Of both
metals are treated in the same way in
that our gold pieces and silver coins
are made in molds. but visit to the
mint would show that to be untrue.
The precious metals are rolled out into
thin bands until they are of a certain
width and thickness. These strips of
gold or silver are then run under steel
punches. which cut the metal into
disks.
Each piece is then weighed by very
exact scales. for each coin must con-
tain so much gold or silver. After the
weighing these blanks are shoveled
into vats Of acid. SO that all the dirt
may be eaten OF Of them. When dry
the blanks are put into long tubes.
through which they pass one by one
between two dies. The upper die
stamps the face of the coin. while the
lower stamps the back. The great
pressure Of the two dies coming to-
gether has just force enough to make
the impressions on the coins clear and
distinct

Santy's Successor.

Had a merry Christmas!
No one will deny
That the day was success;
But as the hours go by
The law of compensation
Proceeds to business:
The sentiments we cherish
Are regretful, more or less.
A little too much candy;
A little too much cake:
A little too much everything
That might promote an ache.
We've heard from dear old Sanity
And sent him on his way.
The question of the moment is.
What will the doctor say?

AFTER THE SALOONS ON

Auditor Of the State Desires 70 Know
Why Government Reservation
Bars Pay no State License.

The question as TO whether or not
the saloons on Old Point are taxable
under the state laws has again been
raised by the auditors Office OF Viz
GINA and II is likely that the matter
will now be passed upon by the highest
authorities in the state.
In letter TO Commissioner of the
Revenue Harry Wise Booker the au-
ditor wants to know why the bars on
the Old Point reservation are not re-
CURED to take out state license. He
asks the commissioner TO send him
full details OF the conditions relative
to licenses on the reservation. There
are three places at Old Point where
liquors are dispersed-Hotel Cham

officers club.
Mr. Booker has replied TO the COM
missioner giving the details of the
conditions around Old Point. II has
never been the custom here TO assess
a license tax against the saloons on
the reservation. inasmuch as the privi-
loge is granted by the government and
not through the state channels.
