Alike, Vet Very Different.

On Seventh avenue the other evening
I saw a small red headed fool of a boy
throwing cans. AN excitement crav-
ing, empty headed kid" l said to my
self, driving by. On the next block !
saw a girl with red curls. dressed In
furs. rather dashing. who gave me a
little provocative smile as l passed.
Did l say to myself that she vas an
excitement craving. empty headed kid!
She was. but | didn't. On the con.

quite drawn toward her. Yet she and
that boy might easily have been broth

ready to blind me to the mental de-
fects of that girl. 1t vas ready to fix

II I'd sat with her. Now, isn't that
odd? | should never have given q
snap for her kid brothers hair or
cheeks naturally. I'd have looked him
well over and seen at a glance he

The Ancient Dragon.

The pterodactyl. whose fossil remains
have been found in the chalk ut Cam
bridge. England, and elsewhere. with
a very varied spread of wings. which
in the largest specimens must have
reached twenty-five feet, is almost iden-
teal with the dragon Of fable. A bat
like creature. with an elevated body
and long neck ending in an absurdly
small head with u %portentous beak. 1t
could run very swiftly. was a fish eater
and could swim. or it few by means Of
huge membranous wings. which con-
nected its long fore quarters with its
hind legs. The pterodactyl evidently
existed down to a comparatively recent
geological period. and it Is not at all
improbable that the traditional dragon
is described from the last living speci-
mems as met with by primitive man.

Artist and Countsrfeiter.

There used to be an old German
counterfeiter in this country who was
a veritable wonder with the brush and
pen. This man literally painted pic
lures Of twenty dollar notes which
were works Of art. He used no tools
except his pens and brushes. and 1t
took him a week to do the portrait of n
banknote. He figured that his handi-
cap was worth about So a day and
worked under the idea that the world
owed him a fair living and should not
object IL his talent led him toward
portrait painting. with twenty dollar
bills for models. Even jail terms fail
ed to impress him seriously with his
wrongdoing. A collector of curios
once offered $500 for n Of his speci-
mems of bill portraiture. and the value
of some others was said to be even
greater, so marvellous was the delicacy
of his brush work.

SIX TO ONE AGAINST GERMANS

SIX TO ONE AGAINST GERMANS
(Girard in Philadelphia Public Ledger)
More than half the human race now
is ranged in war against the Ger
mans.
The man strength of the Teutonic
forces is outnumbered six to one by
their foes.
Omit all of India, and the Allies,
backed by the United States, still
have four times the population to
draw upon that stands behind the
kaiser.
Subtract all the wealth of all the
German fund from the wealth of the
United States, and there still remains
more than $4,000, 900, 900.
American farms grow more than
all the farms of Germany, Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria combined.
The United States alone can make
more steel and all the products of
steel than the whole Germanic league.
Our mines yield ten times as much
gold, far more silver, twice as much
lead and many times as much cop
per as the entire group of Central
powers.
Germany's national debt now is
nearly 5000 per capita. Ours is only
$40.
To pay a years interest on his
share of his nations debt costs a
German thirty times as much as it
costs an American.
