apiece
In describing this counterfeiter's
process. the secret service detective
says: ITO make the coin. he first had
to cut the nickels from a sheet of
lead and then polish the edges for
fully fifteen minutes by hand Then

mould and set st under heavy weight

But Belahid had not forgotten his
humiliation of the year before. He did
not move and his face was angry.
Perhaps you, who have been king and

load, then; and we will divide it. by
half for the weaker ones. or shall /,

Why. here's foolish little man;

Come every one of you and laugh:
For, only think, he runs away
If honest donkey does but bray,
And when the bull begins to below,
He's like a crazy little fellow!
Poor Brindle COW can hardly pass
Along the hedge to nip the grass,
OR wag her tail to lash the flies,
But off the little BOBBY HES!

With bow, WOW, WOW, for how aye do,

German and scandinavian Stamp
Values.

The German mark (Which is prac-

sshilling) is made up of 100 pfennigs
so that the German pfennig is, rough

edge one can easily calculate the val

THE SLAVE BOY WHO WAS KING
BY DOROTHY FENNIMoRE.

Long ago in the mighty city of
Babylon lived slave boy called
Gudea, who though he was a slave
boy, bore the name, of great king.
Because of his name Gudea, as he
grew old enough to think, was deeply
interested in the story of the king
whose name he bore. Everything he
first Gudea and he made up his mind
that he would be worthy of his name
and never shame ii.
The son of Gudea's master was a
different kind Of boy. He was lazy
and hated work and when he went to
school he would bring his tasks TO
Gudea to do for him. teaching him in
this way the little that he knew him

One of the great festivals of those
ancient days was that called the Chill
dren's day. Then from among the
boys and girls king or queen was
chosen, dressed in a splendid mantle,
brightly crowned, and given the right
to rule over the other children, who
were obliged to obey
The slaves were allowed to take part
in the festival, humbly but happily, SO
Gudea had his chance with the rest.
During one festival the children
wished to build fort and the king
they had chosen put the rest to work
carrying bricks and stones. The walls
of the fort had grown to quite a height
and Gudea, bent over with a load far
toe heavy, stumbled, and fell headlong
against the structure, breaking down a
good part Of it.
The king came down from his throne
in a rage. Without inuuiring into the
matter he came to where Gudea lay
among the bricks, HURT and bruised
and blood flowing from a deep cut il
the forehead, and kicked him brutality
shouting Get. UP, you dog" Then. as
the slave tried to rise, the angry child
king struck him blow on blow
But the boys and girls who stood
about could not stand this sorry sight

many a kindness. They drove the crue

One day John and Mary asked their
mother If they could go to the sea-
shore. Their mother did not at first
like them to CO. but after a long time
decided to let them go. She fixed up
nice little lunch and kissed them
good-by.
When they got to the seashore the
first thing they did was to sit down
and see what good things mamma had
given them. After they had eaten all they
could they went and sat in the sand.
Mary made a house and John made a
hill with shells for soldiers. Mary
happened to look up, and what do you
think she saw? Out in the sea a little
ways was baby gull. He was float
ing on piece of wood. As soon as
John saw it he took off his shoes and
stockings and waded out after it. They
took him nome and nlade him a bed.

they can be just as orderly when they
try. On the great men -of-war of the
