Kings Hobbies.

from Pe4rs0n's Weekly.
King George recently declared that some
Of the happiest hours Of his life have been
due to his hobby of stamp collectingl. He
has one Of the three finest collections in
the world. But most OF the sovereigns Of
Europe have their pet collections. too.
The speciality OF the late King OF
Greece, who SO recently met a terrible
death at the hands OF an assassin. was
boosted Of having sample OF every
make known to civilization. When he
visited England last he left behind him
a trail of handleless doors.
The kaiser's pet hobby LIS the collecting
of ties. He is said to have over 5000
ton ones I'm puppies and yellows that
would startle a plowboy to the costliest
specimens Of embroidered cravats.
The late King Edward was very proud
of his collection Of walking sticks. OF
which he had hundreds. Two OF the most
interesting were made, one from a pile
that had centuries ago supported old
London bridge, the other from the famous
Boscobel oak, up which the prince who
was afterward Charles IL once hid from
Cromwell's soldiers.
Queen Alexandra Is the most expert
photographer among royalties. She has
some 10000 photographs Of her own TAX
ing, carefully described and numbered.
AS most people remember. she published
a book Of views some years ago.
King Alfonso has two collections. one
of trophies Of his career al q sportsman.
the other-sureiy the grisliest collection
on record-being mementOs OF attempts
made upon his life. One item Is q piece
of skin from a horse killed by the bomb
hurled at the Spanish king on his wed
ding day, another a bullet that just miss
ed his head and shattered the glass
screen of his motor.

Peter Rabbit stared and stared at the
tracks in the soft mud Of the swamp in
the Old Pasture. He would look first at
the tracks. then at his own feet. and
finally back at the tracks again. He
scratched his long left ear with his long
left hind foot Then he scratched his
long right ear with his long right hind
foot. all the time staring his hardest at
those strange tracks. They certainly
were the tracks Of Rabbit, and 1t was
equally certain that they were not his
own.
They are too. big for mine, and they
are too small for Jumper the Hare's.
Besides. Jumper is in the Green Forest
and not way of up here" said Peter to
himself. II wonder-well, wonder IL he
will try to drive me away
You see, Peter knew that II he had
found a strange Rabbit in his dear old
briar patch he certainly would have tried
his best to drive him out, for he felt
that the old briar patch belonged to him
tracks would feel the same way about
the Old Pasture. Peter looked troubled
as he thought it over. Then his face
cleared.
Perhaps" said he, hopefully, "he is
a newcomer here, too, and IL he is I'll
have just as much right here as he has.
Perhaps he simply has big feet and isn't
any bigger or stronger than am, and II
that's the case I'd like to see him drive
me out

held In this town under the patronage of
the factory owners. The improved condi-
ton of the children who were In camp
last fall was so noticeable that the COM
pany felt justified in materially adding to
the equipment.
Several child-loving women have found
the establishment Of a 'creche.' or baby
nursery, q congenial means OF earning a
livelihood. For stated sum a mother
can place her baby in bright. well venti-
lated place, with the comfortable kEowl-
edge that her directions will be explicitly
carried out and her baby receive as good
care as she Is able to give 1t herself. To
a mother with many social obligations

The Cost Of Industrial Accidents.
From the Engfneering Magazine.

rrotA Inc engineering Magazine
At a conservative estimate the number
OF men killed annually in industrial acct
dents alone in the United States is 5000
and the number of accidents not proving
fatal average about o05. 900 year Plac-
ing the economic loss on a basis of in
surance tables ($7, 265 for each man killed
and $500 for each man injuredD this rep
resents an annual loss to the country OF
more than Sill 100000 a year But, since
the value Of the worker is threefold af-
fecting the family the state and the en-
ployer, and as insurance tables do not
allow for the possibilities in each man,
the actual loss Is very much In excess OF
this amount.
Logically it is up to the state to find a
means to reduce this loss to the lowest
possible limit, as the family is practically
powerless and, In the long run. the loss,
directly or otherwise. falls upon the state.
That legislators are coming to realize this
is apparent from the number OF liability
laws of one kind or another that are
introduced from time TO time into the
several legislatures, but these measures.
apart from the fact that the compensa-
ton provided is almost always divided
one part to the worker or his family and
three parts to the lawyer, are essentially
futile because they do not attempt TO
strike at the root of the matter. and are.
at best, merely shutting of the stable
door after the horse is out. They are
palliatiyes, not cures.

look as big as he could when he said this,
but swelling himself out this way re-
minded him of how stiff and sore he was
from the wounds given him by Hooty the
Owl. and he made a wry face. You see,
he realized all of sudden that he didn'
feel much like fighting.
My" said Peter. Il guess | better
find out all about this other fellow be-
fore I have any trouble with him. The
Old Pasture looks big enough for lot
of Rabbits, and perhaps IT don't bother
him he won't bother me- / wonder what
he looks like / believe I'll follow these
tracks and see what / can find"
So Peter began to follow the tracks OF
the strange Rabbit, and he was SO inter
ested that he almost forgot to limp.
They led him this way and they led him
that way through the swamp and then
out of it. At the foot of a certain birch
tree Peter stopped.
"Ha!' said he. now I shall know just
how big this fellow is
How was he to know? Why. you see.
that tree was a kind Of Rabbit measur-
ing stick Yes, sir, that is just what it
was. You see, Rabbits like to keep a
record Of how they grow. just as some
little boys and girls do, but as they have
use trees And this was the measuring
tree of the Rabbit whose tracks Peter
had been following. Peter stopped at
the foot of it and sat down to think 1t
over He knew what that tree meant
perfectly well. He had one or two meas
uring trees of his own on the edge OF
the Green Forest. He knew, too, that
it was more than a mere measuring
tree. 1t was kind of mo trespassins
sign. 1t meant that some other Rabbit
had lived here for some time and felt
that he owned that part Of the Old Pas
ture. Peters nose told him that, for the
tree smelled very strong Of Rabbit-of
the Rabbit with the big feet This was
because whoever used it for a measuring
tree used to rub himself against it as far
up as he could reach.
Peter hoped up close to it. Then he
sat up very straight and stretched him
self as tall as he could, but he wisely
took care not to rub against the tree
You see he didn't want to leave his own
mark there. So he stretched and stretch
ed, but stretch as he would he couidn'
make his wobbly little nose reach the
mark made by the other Rabbit.

Voyaging in a Canoe.


The canoeist is the most independent
Of outdoor sportsmen. For him the in
creasing price OF gasoline holds no tor
