Geordie Horn was a character well
known among the country folk Of the
Scotch highlands twenty-five years ago.
He belonged to class rather hard to
classify. for he was neither a tramp
nor farm hand, although frequently
following the habits Of both. Wan
dering from farm to farm, the greater
part OF the time he was kindly treated
and Hospitality entertained generally.
While he was man OF unusual
strength. he was mentally weak and
exceedingly lady.
He's gle cute chiel, though slow
In the uptack' understanding, was
the way good many described him.
One day he arrived at his friend the
doctors and complained Of a severe
pain in his breast. The doctor handed
him plaster, with instructions to put
it on his chest without delay. Geordie
gave him one Of his knowing looks
and took his departure The doctor
met him a few days later and inquired
how be was feeling now Geordie re-
piled, Nae better" did you do as I
told you with the plaster?' the doctor
went on.

best could. l didn't have a chest, sac

Not long ago in this town a kind
friend Of the family gave one Of the
kids q dollar OF course it was too
much to let the kid get out and spend
for candy and gum, SO it was reli-
giously put up on the sideboard or
some other safe place to be kept-just
for what the deponent saith not. In
about 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 it's prede-
cessor, was placed in a 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 at 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 Sfr-Inclosed you will find check

Dollar Fish,

"Have you any dollar fish here?" a
woman asked of one OF the attendants
at the aquarium.
While the question may seem curl
GUS. it was really very simple, for the
dollar fish is only young moonfish.
The moonfish is curious but beau
tiful creature, almost round in shape
and extremely thin and having the
loTeliest of pearly sides. 1t swims on
edge, so that it always presents it's
sides Of pearl to view. 1t takes it's
name from its shape and because,
further. in color it suggests the silvery
moon.
Young mOonfish of the size of q
standard silver dollar-and they are
scarcely any thicker-are called dollar
fishes because Of their resemblance to
that coin in size and shape and color,
and the woman making the inquiry
about dollar fishes was duly informed
that there was none in the tanks at
the present time. but that they did
have them occasionally. - New York
