Only a dollar "a round shiny dollar,
Rafting and iingling with more of it's
kind,
A unit of value for good or for evil,
A small thing to look for-a big thing
to find.
Just cigar and tip tor the waiter,
To add to his boarding of i'll gotten
gain,
Rafting and jingling and rubbing
together,
Three silver quarters are all that
remain.
Maybe drink takes whack at the
dollar,
Or Roquefort cheese and the crackers
of Dents,
Out on the street then you feel in your
pockets,
The rafting and iingling fjust sixty
cents.
Oh, its fifteen cents here and ten
cent piece there,
You can't tell at evening just where
it all went,
But you know when you grab for that
round shiny dollar.
That it's dribbled away to the very
last cent.
Did it go for necessities? Not for a
minute.
You just let it slide through your
fingers-that's all,
A dollar you earned has dropped out of
your pocket,
While you, appetite deafened, could
not hear 1t fall.
Only dollar, round shiny dollar,
You may say, 81 have Others and
more coming on,
And yet you may never have chance to
recover
That illy-spent dollar-the dollar
that's gone.
Happy is he who looks out for the
future,
Planting the seed for the autumn
leafs turn,
Not looking back on his past and
lamenting,
Gee. but used to have money to
burn"

For theChildrer
A Marine Fish With a
Very Peculiar Head.

Among the most remarkable marine
creatures are the trachypteridae or
deal fishes, which are similar to the
oar fish, also very singular creature,
but OF smaller size and commoner &C.
curreRce. says st. Nicholas,
The deal fish is from three to four
feet in length and has thin body,
which would be transparent were it
not covered with white pigment that
makes II look like FURNISHED silver;
on the white surface are one or two
blotches.
The head is somewhat like that OF
the oar fish. to which it is closely re-
lated. Both have small teeth ana can
not bite, even If they wished to do so.
but they do not, for they are quite in
offensive creatures On the head Of
the deal fish Is large. strcamerI like

of the ordinary caudal Tn, is long.
slim fin that projects up at right an
giles to the backbone. No other fsh
has this popularity. The specimen
which IL shown In the photograph
above was caught Ia Monterey bay in
1907 and sent to Leland Stanford. Jr,,

An Excitina Game,

Two captains are chosen by lot. and
they choose the players, one after the
other. until the party is equally dlvld-
ed. Then the players seat themselves
in two rows. facing each other, and
the captain who has won the first play
throws knotted handkerchief at onR
of the players on the opposite side =,
selecting any enc he pleases, and as
he throws the handkerchief he calls
out one of the words: EARTH
Water" "Air" Fire" If earth
be called the player into whose lap the
handkerchief has fallen must name
some quadruped before the thrower OF
the handkerchief counts ten: if water
he called he must name some kind of
fish; If air. he must name some kind
Of bird. and If fire be called he must
remain silent. If the player should
name the wrong thing or speak when
he ought to remain silent he must
dron out of the game, and the playe.
who threw the handkerchief must
then throw If ut some one else on The
opposite side. If this second player
at whom the handkerchief is thrown
should answer promptly. be throws 1t
at a player on the opposite side, calls
out one of the four words mentioned
and counts ten. and the game goes OIL
thus until all the players on one side
have dropped out, when, of course, the

"Robbing Peter TO PAY PAUL."

That proverb "robbins Peter to pay

under the authority of n specially Gro.

Dean Stanley, that the abbey was
saved in those tempestuous times. Its

its outlying domains to the east OF

to the Protector Somerset TO induce
