OLD TIME HAT STAMPS.
Death Used to Be the Penalty In Eng
land For Forging Them.

Death Used to Be the Penalty In Eng
land For Forging Them.
Hats have in England been subject
to very severe protective enactments.
The blocked beaver hat, for instance.
imported by Sir Walter Raleigh from
the Low Countries. won its way so
rapidly that in 1871 Queen Elizabeth
passed an act to protect the making
of "thrummed" caps. made from WOOL,
for the advantage of the landed pro-
prietors. whose sheep furnished the
material. The statute provided that
every male person shall on Sundays
and holidays wear on his head a cap
of velvet wool made in England, pen
atty. 3s. I'd. per day.
About Il century later the law, for
which there is nothing too high or too
low. having taxed mems shoes, turned
its attention once more to their hats
and soon put check on all improve
ments in the trade by requiring every
vender of hats to take out a license
under a heavy penalty. Subsequently
stamp duty was imposed on all hats,
which were officially marked inside
where the makers name now appears.
The penalty for selling hat without
a stamp was Flo, and the penalty for
forging hat stamp was death

ITS better in my house than in yours,
where no air nor water can penetrate" ="
But how can II" asked Freddie
How can | so through those little
doors?"
Easily" replied the fish.
But Freddie by this time also knew
that he could, for he felt himself grad
ually diminishing in size until he was
as small as the original Hop o My
Thumb.
Freddie went in and was more than
delighted with tie tiny place. He
found that everything was made of
beautiful pearls, even to the floors and
walls; and had he been his ratural
size and natural self he would have
been frightened at the many things
that were happening.
"Come over this way and I'll show
you something you have never seen"
exclaimed the fish assistant.
Freddie started to so, but just at
that moment he fell with q terrible
thud not on the bottom of the river,
but on the hard floor of his room.
"Is that you, Freddie?' called some
one from the next room.
Yes, ma'am.' replied Freddie,
sleepily, Say, mamma, is it time to
get up?"
only half past one; get back into bed"
AT O'Clock some one rappepd at his
door. Thine to get up" whispered his
uncle, and don't be too long about
getting dressed
Before fifteen minutes had passed
Freddie was sitting at the breakfast
table with his father and uncle.
As soon as they had breakfasted they
started on their trip.
When thew returned E'rp0dip'S moth
er asked him if he had caught any fish.
mo" he replied, disgustedly; but
papa said it wasn't my fault, 1t was
the fault of the fishes"
After a while he told of the dream,
and every one laughed and declared
that after all he may have been to
blame for their not biting any better
than they did. Your niece,

The goldfish came to Freddie and
said, would you like to visit our
coral house" and Freddie said Yes"
So the fish led him to a small white
and red coral house, divided into small
rooms.
''These rooms" said the fish, "are
for all the families of the different
fishes"
The fish swan on and said to Fred
die How do you like the water?''
Fine" said Freddie.
So they swan on and came to a
beautiful mermaid summing herself in
the bright glowing sunlight.
Freddie was awakened by tap on
his shoulder and found it was but a
dream. AUDREY MEYER.

Beginning of Story Completed by Juniors

Freddie had long wanted to go for a
fishing trip. and finally his uncle told
him that if he would be ready early in
the morning he might go with him.
Freddie was much excited about the
proposed trip and spent the afternoon
catching bait. getting his hooks and
lines ready and telling his mother about
the luncheon he wished to carry with
him. He had a splendid little outfit
for his father wanted him to learn to
do these things properly, and so pro-
Vided him with fish basket line,
rod and reel that the most particular
fisherman could ask.
Finally, when all was in readiness,
Freddie went to bed, but he was so

HONORABLE MENTION

T HE fish said, to Freddie's evident
delight and surprise, "Oh, I've
- caught you at last. Now mother
can have you for fathers and my din
ner I never expected to catch you,
and as Freddie commenced jumping up
and down trying to get air the fish con-
tinued:
Il know you must be suffocating for
want of air, but then what does that
matter?"
Freddie at this started tC cry and so
the fish went over to him and told him
that he could breathe down in their
home and that he would only have TO
stay a few days. Just to teach you
what it is to be jerked away from
home" the fish said.
Freddie, being assured of his safety
gladly went about to examine his new
friends home. He found all kinds OF
what at other times he would have
thought sticky, dirty, salty weeds OF
all colors from bright pink to dark,
Yelyety green.
He was soon hungry and asked about
dinner The fish told him he would
have to get it himself and Get that
jellyfish, but oh, oh, watch out or you Il
get caught on fisherman's hook" he
fairly screamed as Freddie recklessly
dashed off for the fish.
That night he was shown into
rocky bed covered with MOSES and
deep on the bottom of the sea. He did
not stop to examine his bed much, as
he was very tired. After good nights
sleep he was awakened by noise over
head. Regardless of his friends ad-
vice he dashed off to the top and was
soon dangling on q hook high in the
air. He was landed in his own shape
into his fathers boat amid eXclama-
tions of relief, surprise and delight.
During that memorable fishing day
Freddie fished very little, as he was
busy relating his experience and be-
cause of the advice of the fish.

VI "Why, can you TALK" gasped
Freddie
"Talll?" said Mr.. Goldfish, "of course

me how you got here?'
We'll" began Freddie, Il got out of
my bed and l found myself in the
water and here 1 am. That's all 1
know about it,
Wouldn't you like to have me take
you around?" said Mr Goldfish.
"Oh, yes!" cried Freddie in delight.
First of ALL" said his companion,
I'VE must eat some breakfast. Come
with me-
Freddie followed him through mazes
of reeds. in and out among the rocks,
until presently they came to a high
bank.
Freddie went under the bank with
Mr.. Goldfish, and there he saw Mrs.
Goldfish and all her children.
Here is my home" said his com
panion.
On fiat rock. which served as a
table, was a bowl full of hot soup.
1IGS were given SIOpIlo' NhlNl N'A'
in reality scallop shells, and all of the
family began to eat out of one dish.
Freddie was shocked at their greedi-
ness, but Mr.. Goldfish told him to eat
some before it was cold. Freddie was
hungry, so he went to the table quickly.
He ate one spoonful, but that was all.
oh dear, what funny taste, y
thought Freddie.
Mother. give Freddie some fritters.
said Mr.. Goldfish.
To Freddie's relief the fritters were
better, and he ate them all.
When he had finished. Mr.. Goldfish
took Freddie around and showed him
everything.
Freddie saw many new and wonder
full things. They returned at nightfall,
and after eating supper Freddie was
given a soft bed of moss to sleep on.
He went to sleep Immediately, and
in the morning Mr. Goldfish told him
they must go and hunt for their break
fast.
They went a little way when they
saw a fly in the water.
Mr. Goldfish snapped at it, but drew
back suddenly.
Look" said Mr.. Goldfish, and look
ing Freddie saw a threadlike Slimmer
connected with the fly.
''The men," continued his companion,
"are mean and selfish. They have
plenty to eat, without trying to XIII us
If [ were a man L wouldn't do that
way"
"Oh!" cried Freddie Il am caught"
1t was true. A large hook on the end
of a line had caught i'll his clothing.
He was ierked upward, and-but he
awakened to find himself in bed.
What a dream!" said Freddie, as he
hurriedly began to dress.

afraid that he would no wake up early
enough that he had trouble getting to
sleep.
When he had slept long, long time,
he heard some one calling him, and
jumped out of bed quickly. But. oh,
how cold it was. He found himself
sinking rapidly down in the pale green
water. Here and there he could see
bright CLEANS, and as his eyes grew
accustomed to the dim light he could
see tall reeds, and finally felt his feet
touch the soft moss under his feet. At
last he stood upright in the water.
Just then a beautiful reddish gold
fish swan toward him and greeted him
