GOOD KING IS GIVEN
BABY AS A REWARD

Once there was a king whose
name was Rubi. You would think
q king would be happy but he was
not. l will tell you the reason why,
he had no children. His brother,
who was q neighboring king had no
children. either. and his name Was
Bebi. But he was q selfish king
who cared for nothing but clothes.
One night an old woman came to
the door of king Bebi's palace. But
as / told you he was selfish king,
and when he saw this beggar-look-
ing woman. he had his guards put
her out.
II will remember you." she said.
The next night she went to king
Rubis house. When he saw her he
hade her enter, and he gave her a
good bed and plenty to eat.
In the morning when she said she
must go, king Rubi told her when
she came by again to stop and see
him, and she said she would. But
the next night 1t rained, rained,
rained.
The king heard sound that
sounded like baby crying. So hG
went out on the steps and there
lay little baby. On its dress was
a note which said, ITO good king
Rubi." -

BETTY'S BIRTHDAY

One morning there was a little
girl named Betty. She had a birth
day and brought a box of candy to
school.
Betty's grandmother gave her a
pink ribbon for her birthday.
After school her mother had a
party for Betty. There were six
little girls. They played games.
About four-thirty her mother cal
led them. Oh, such a surprise.
There was a birthday cake all
frosted white and lighted up with
six candles as Betty was six years
old.
The children wished her many
more happy birthdays and then
started for home.

The Disgrace of the Sophomores

"For goodness sake, Daisy, turn
off that light" gasped Margarie,
but before Daisy could regain her
senses, a low knock was heard at
the door.
The girls never stirred The
knock came again, followed by a
hand turning the door knob. Still
no one stirred. A third time the
knock was heard, little more de-
termined.
Margarie finally gained control
Of herself, rose YEARLY, walked
over to the door, unlocked
1t and returned" slowly and wear
lily to her seat, sat down,
and hid her face in her arms.
The door was then opened and the
principal stood on the threshold.
She was tall woman with sill
very grey hair and a kind motherly
face. As she stood looking at them
now, tears glistened in her kind
eyes, and in a clear, low tone she
said, "Girls. am very sorry this
has happened. As you know the
punishment an offense Of this kind
brings upon you. l need not repeat
It. You may all go to your rooms,
and you, Margarie, may retire"
She turned and made her way
down the stairs, while the girls
one by one gathered up their pos
sessions, and with one last glance
at Margarie who was still sitting
with her face in her arms, departed
for their rooms.
After they had gone Margarie
YEARLY prepared to retire, think
ing bitterly Of the basket ball sea-
son they would have to miss just
for one midnight lunch. And it had

The great masked ball Of the col
lege was over. The crowd began to
dispense, good nights were exchang-
ed, lights put out, the girls YEARLY
made their way to their rooms and
quiet reigned over the school once
more.
Did 1 say quiet reigned once
more? All, in one room 1t was
not quiet. Instead of going at once
to their own rooms, the girls Of the
Sophomore class were assembled
in the room Of the most popular
girl in the class. Margarie Stanford.
Not content with the ball, they had
planned midnight lunch and now
they were in the room, each bring
ing her own delicacy, and the Soph-
ignores proceeded to have good
time.
Margarie brought out a chatting
dish, some spoons. dishes and other
articles needed, which she had got
ten out of the kitchen when the
cook was not there, and she began
to prepare lunch. The girls were
more or less nervous, but seeing
Margarie at work, they boldly be-
gan to help with the preparations
also, until all were feeling cheerful
and laughing merrily over the ev-
ents of the evening.
They were all seated around the
table, some trying to read others
nibbling at the caramels, and oc
casionally one could hear the high
pitched key Of the piano.
Then in the midst of the fun the
girls suddenly turned pale and sat
looking at each other.
Slow measured footsteps we're
heard coming down the hall.

THE BAD MONKEY

Once upon time little monkey
was caught in the woods. The
man who caught him was very
nice to him. He made him a very
nice little house with q bell on it.
One night the people all around had
gone to sleep and he had not gone
to sleep yet so he began ringing
the bell and woke all the people up.
The man didn't like this and
brought him In the house and made
him 60 to sleep. And he went to
sleep all right.

row firmly established for next years iron and sales have been made at s16, representing a $1 advance for most sellers.
 In Central Western markets the advances on Northern foundry iron have ranged from soc to S1. The Chicago market is still out of 1ine prices of foundry and malleable irons being held in check by competitive conditions.
 It is plain that export demand for steel-making irons is far from satis- fled. The sale of 100000 tons of Southern basic to Great Britain could readily be duplicated.
 Merchant furnacemen are showing a confidence in higher prices that has not been known in that field in many m onths Foundry operations are still much hampered, however, by labor shortage and short performance of labor.
 Bessemer iron has sold at SPA at Valley furnace, as against $23 last week, though some of the SPA iron has been higher than standard silicon. A sale q, 10000 tons of 2 to 2.50 sil- icon iron has been made on that basis to an Eastern steel company.

DIR. CLINTON J. HYDE. A STORY WITH A LESSON

A farmer had a man, called John,
 to work for him. John got sick and
 so the farmer hired Mike to do Johns
 work. And weeks passed by, and
 months and years, and John was still
 sick and Mike. had to do his work.
 Didn't the farmer send for a doctor
 to have John treated and cured?
 No; this never occurred to him. He
 simply had two men on the pay roll
 and was wondering why his bank ac-
 count grew smaller and smaller.
 This is not true story, of course.
 No farmer would be as foolish as that.
 This story simply serves as an object lesson. You are the farmer, my B friend. John is your stomach, your bowels, or your nerves, or your back, and Mike is the medicine you are talk ing for weeks, for months, for years. You are keeping Mike in the pay roll all the time to help John. Why not have John cured and discharge Mike :? Don't you know that headache, or constipation, or nervousness, or dys- pepsia, or backache, or all the num- N berless disagreeable or painful symp- 8 toms are only signs of distress warn Ing you that there is some trouble N somewhere which needs attention :? You cannot cure your headache with N headache tablets; you cannot cure your bowels with laxatives you can- not cure your sleeplessness with mar Fl cotics, nor can you cure your stomach N with pepsin or similar things. If you try to do that, you are simply hiring E Mike to help John, and as long as Mike Is on the job, Johns work will be done more or less well. But you don't want to keep Mike on the jot all the time-you don't want to take medicine all your life, do you?
 ' There is only one way to cure you1 ailments so your organs will resume their natural functions as they were meant tO-the cause of your trouble! must be found out and treated. Il @ that is done, your system will work a # Nature meant it to work. Your dis @ tressing symptoms will disappear, th' SR organs of your body will work natur & ally and smoothly and you will neet no more medicines to help them dt . their work-you can discharge Mik' N and John will do his work as he uset to.
