Rennu on Renevolence.

Benevolence is a great thing When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something. to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothes for themselves. While
she was hunting around she found a
gold-headed cane worth $25 that
grandpa had put up there Is years
ago, and forgot all about. Thus we
see, dear friends, benevolence brings
its own reward.-Benny.

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
war-Now an Aid In Fight
ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin TO charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war. After the war. this
method Of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although 1t found vogue in Por-
tugal. Switzerland. Australia. France.
Spain, Denmark. Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types Of charity stamps
used in all parts Of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti.tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re
suit Of the interest of Jacob Riis in
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, s135.000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
is organized on a comprehensive
basis. taking in all parts of the
United States. A million for tuber-
culosis work is confidently expected.

in the position shown in the illustra-
ton by the strips of light cedar that
are tied to the upper fork of the hook.
The hook itself is of wood in two
pieces, dashed together by thongs of
some kind of hide, with steel prong
dashed to the upper part of the fork
with thongs of hide. A piece of sal
mon steak is placed on the hook
prong, and the halibut comes along
and tries to eat it, When the willy
redskin feels tug on his fishline he
gives 1t a jerk and the hook prong is
driven into the lower jaw of the hall
but and the fish is caught. Halibut
weighing as high as 200 pounds have
been caught on these primitive hooks.
The hook illustrated was brought to-
st. Paul by Martin Kennedy. Jr.. on
his return from his recent trip to-
Alaska. One popularity that puts
this hook out of the ordinary class of
salmon and halibut hooks is that the
lower prong is carved in the shape OF
an idol.

which appertain to the Oldest son of
George V, by the grace of God Of the
UNITED Kingdom Of Great Britain and
Ireland and OF the British dominions

the Faith, Emperor Of India, and Vic

This lad is the twentieth who has

Associated with the title, and the
many others which he bears, are
many historical incidents which have
vast Importance in the eyes of the
millions over whom it may be his
destiny one day to rule, and which are
of picturesque interest to multitudes
in this and other countries.
There is the story Of the first
Prince Of Wales and the origin of the
title, there is the story of the three

comes now before the world as the
heir-apparent to the British crown
He is blue-eyed and fair-haired, sturdy
of limb, the picture of health and
good nature, and his countenance
seems to indicate good deal of char

world where boy must stand on his
own merit it is at one of the great
English schools Princes and ordi-
nary youngsters from ordinary good
