EMBARK.

In an excavation for q new house in
vordingborg was found an earthen jar
containing 400 old silver coins. The
md has been reported to the national
museum.
King Frederik has recovered from
bis recent illness. The matter was
quite serious. The king himself real.
ICED this. Looking at the magnificent
bouquets arrayed in front of his sick
bed, he said with smile, "Well. these
might have been placed on my COT
dn."
A Polish couple taking a train from
Herser claimed with great presidency
that they had lost baggage to the
value Of $50. The railway authorities
pf Denmark and Germany tried to re-
pover the property, but their efforts
we're In vain. Afterwards the couple
had a quarrel, and the woman went to
The railway station and confessed that
they had really lost no baggage. The
police finished the business.
1t is handy to have king. A stray
dog stopped at a house in Norby, on
the island of Fyen, and a little boy
soon became so attached to him that
he would do almost anything to keep
the dog. But the boys parents ex-
planned that they could not afford to
pay the dog tax, which amounts to
e1.36 a year. The boy began to do
little brain work on his own account.
He knew that Denmark has a king.
What is a king good for, anyway,
unless he is ready to give poor boy
little lift In an awful pinch like
this? The boy at once wrote letter
to the king explaining the situation
rs best he could. In few days the
boy actually received enough money
from the king to pay the dog tax for
two years, and in the letter carrying
the money the king promised to see
to the dog tax two years from now if
the dog lives that long.

made in Greenland, and it is expected
to last about three months. Captain
Koch is going to have three com.

While in Chicago recently, Byron E.
Cooney, advertising manager and pub
licity director of the Home Telephone
Co., closed a contract for a photograph
which will, when installed, automat
ically give the time of day to all pat
rons of the company.
"Chicago is the only city in the coun-
try that now has one of the ma
chines,' said Mr.. Cooney, "and it
serves the purpose of 10000 users of
the automatic telephones in that city.
l am told that it gave the time of day
to 10000 in "a hours by actual count.
"The photograph will tell the time
20 times PSs minute, at intervals of
three seconds. Any subscriber calling
the number designated will be told the
time four times before connection is
cut off. The number of phones that can
be connected with this instrument is
practically unlimited.
