HOW MUCH MONEY
CAN YOU LIFT?

Once upon a time the daughter
of very rich man was walking
throug a forest wen she was attack
ed by a huge panther, says the New
York Herald. Soon number of men
came upon the panther with his un-
conscious victim.
Among these men was the girls
father, who offered any reward that
might be demanded to the man who
would save the daughter. But none
of the men dared attack the beast,
ls none of them were armed, until
one, who was noted for his rength
licked up the trunk of tree that
weighed a thousand pounds and
with this he killed the beast. Then
the father told him that he could
have as much money as he could
carry away with him. Now, how
much did the hero receive?
"A billion, trillion dollars" said
little girl who heard this story.
but it didn't happen that way.
The father of the girl, seeing his
daughter out of harms way. began
to repent of his bargain and
thought of way by which he could
pay much smaller reward than he
dad at first intended. at the same
time keeping his pledged word.
He led the hero into his treasu,
room where his money bags were
piled one On top of the other, like
bales of cotton on a Mississippi
barge. and said. Take what you
can"
The hero found that he could lift
bag, weighing 900 pounds. which
is five times as much as an ordin
airy mortal can lift.
The hero thought, Now / can
spend the rest of my life in ease. ;"
but when he opened his bag, no
found that 1t contained only copp-
ell peTnies and when he counted
them, he found that he had $1,47S
.O5.

said the hero to himself. II might,
at least have taken nickels. Then
could have bought farm on Staten
island and grown rich raising chick
ems"
But If the hero had taken a bag,
containing nickels and weighing J.,
600 pounds, he wwould have re-
ceived only $4.5S5.
II the hero had been a business
man OF only ordinary strength, able
to lift say only two hundred pounds
