ne was the most unhappy man in his
Who'll kingdom. Years ago his beau
tlful queen II little son had taken a
walk in the forest one evening n had
pever been seen again. The king was
growing old now. and, as he. had no.
heir to his throne. he thought he would
choose n among his subjects. He
knew very we'll. that before him, as
their king, each man would pe5mise to
make the best ruler. so the wise king
thought of a plan by which he could
judge their hearts. The king. dressed.
as a poor beggar. Went throughout his
kingdom. First he came to the Lord
Chamberlain's palace n knocked
gently at the door. His lordship was
very busy counting out his money and
could not be disturbed by beggars at
the gate. With his message the proud
slave gave his majesty a kick. hich

by such treatment, started again on his
journey. He went from door to DOR
begging bread and water, but all he re-
ceived We're rude kicks and ugly words.
The king spent weeks and weeks try
ing to find a person whose hear vas
worthy of the CROWN. but as yet he had
not found one. Finally, heartsick and
discouraged, he stopped at a woodcut-
tiers house in a lonely forest. The
young %woodcutter was busy, but as

him. The king asked him for some
bread and a cup of water. as he had

once took him into his house and
shared with this old beggar his supper.
The beggar king noticed as he came
into h house "A poor woman sitting
by the fire weeping bitterly. His kin

he asked h woodcutter the cause of
her sorrow. Some spell has been
cast upon her." said the young mar

Henry Ford-who, detached from his ire
mendous success as a manufacturers of
low priced motor cars, always seems a
good deal sue a character as the amiable

the praiseworthy business of promoting
peace. He just announced that he had set
aside 81, OOO,OOO 600 for this good purpose,
Later still he offered his talents to his
ountry for the purpose of perfecting a
cheap and effective gasoline engine for
use in submarines: and he ~justifies this
hope that he will be able to help in maxi
ing a fighting machine so terrible that
war will be done away with.
Others have had this dream, but none
ever realized 1t or ever will realize 1t.
for more.

the Nobel peace prize, believed when he
invented dynamite that he was creating
