COLUMBUS.
(COncludod,)

After appealing for help seven years
the Queen at last began>to think that
there might be somethlngsin his plan,
and said that she would sell her Jewels
to provide for an expedition. It was
hard to find sailors willing to make
the voyage, but enough were soon Sc
cured to man the three vessels IN
which they were to sail.
On the morning Of the Sd OF August.
1892. they set sail. None OF the sailors
thought that they could ever return.
but to their 10Y. on the morning OF
the 18th day Of October 1492, they
beheld land. The island on which CO.
lumbus landed is not known, but IT
was probably Waiting Island. When
Columbus returned to Spain he was
greeted by large crowds. The King
and Queen were greatly pleased with
the account ho brought back Of the
New World.
Columbus made three other voyag es.
He died In 1905, His remains were
taken to st. Domingo for interment.
About 100 years later they were taken
to Havana, where they were re-

THE CASTLE IN THE WOOD.

In the good old days. when wonder
full things were more apt to happen
than they are now, g. young prince
who had become separated from a
party of knights. In whose company
he was, was riding about In great
forest AS he made his way through
the densest part of the wood he came
suddenly upon castle with massive
towers rising In tho midst of the
green foliage.
There was not sign OF life about
the place. Dismounting, the prince,
with drawn sword, prepared to enter.
Neither bolts nor bars hindered his
progress. He went from hall to hall
all was silent and deserted. The echo
OF his own footsteps, the clanlsing
of his spurs and the cawing OF the
rocks disturbed by the unwonted noise
were the only sounds that broke the
stiffness.
Finally he mounted the long. dim,
winding stairs that led to the top
most chambers of the great turret.
The prince threw himself with all his
strength against the closed portal
The rusty bolt gave way, the door REV
omen. and there before him, on an
ebony and white velvet couch. was a
beautiful princess clad in silken robes.
Seated on a low stool at her side was
a bent wrinkled, old woman.
On seeing the prince she tremblins-
Nv arose and went to a carved cabinet
and unlocking a drawer took out a
curiously wrought scroll which she

The prince opened 1t and spread II
out on table, and bending his eager
flushed face over 1t he read

OBSERVATIONS

Mighty few OF us want TO follow the
example OF the fellow who buried his
talents of silver. and show up. at the
reckoning day with just what we
started with.
IL Is the desire To add and add 10
the original stock that moves the
world Millions OF us want to risk.
want to get rich quick The gambling
spirit is not confined to the race track,
Wall-st. and the wheat pit. by a long
shot Any 2 per cent proposition.
though safe az he foundations Of Glib
raltar. will not get a second thought
from millions OF us and this Is one
OF the glorious things about us as Q
people. This nation hasn't grown be-
cause we kept our money In the bank
at per cent. but because we borrow
ed bank money at s. 7 or 8 per cent.
We can still deposit In reliable banks
at per cent. lend TO our friends at Q
or per cent or. better yet, invest In
enterprises that may finally yield 20
OF so per cent.
But all this is not saying that there
is no virtue whatever In the new post
al bank. Many, many OF us can save,
but very little and that little is our
all We work as artisans In the big
cities and our income is absolutely lin
tied. with chances OF decrease. as age
ror more children come. Two per cent
and positive safety are better than
stocking repositories or hiding places
In the mattress. and those among us
driven TO this must even be classed
among the unfortunates.
