River, but 1 take many rest.
You've seen me looking very quiet and
peaceful? That is when 1 am taking
a rest.
in the winter I often rest, too,
when the Ice King puts one of his
best blankets over me and tells me he
will attend to matters while l have a
rest.
But 1 don't go to sleep as you do,
at just such a time, every day, or
every afternoon.
I'D like to have a talk with you,'
said Mr.. Sun.
And I'd like to have a talk with
you" said the River.
Just wait a moment said Mr. Sun,
"and I'll wear all my very best finery."
Dear me, I'm honored," said the
River.
Then in a few moments Mr.. Sun
was ready for his talk with the River
He wore gorgeous suit of deep rose
color and a collar of fieecy rose and
blee and lavender and pink clouds. He
wore hat Of deep sky blue with rose
cOIored braid.
Dear me, Mr.. Sun, You are wonder

"I am glad you think So" said Mr..

little ripping smile. Il have had
great many boats going through me
today. And some boys and girls have
gone in swimming along near my
banks
Some of the trees on the high
hills above have changed into their
summer green suits from the pale
green spring ones they were wear
ing.
The tug boats have made the usual
amount of noise. What noisy little
were great big boats from the noise
they make.
But of course I know better. They
can't fool the Riverl They're like
creatures who don't amount TO much
who're always shouting and trying to
make people think they do amount to
something because they praise them
selves so much.
"Still, I'm fond of the tug boats,
and they must make a noise, I sup
pose, so the big boats won't run them
down
There have been some lovely sail

are The River loves them so.

Il know that" said the Sun.
So the River and the Sun talked
and the Sun looked right down at the
River as he talked.

 This is a kind of immortality which fate has reserved for Alabams's chief executive. The coins will be pre- served by citizens of the state, it Is probable for all time to come.
 The other Alabama governor to grace the memorial money will be the first chief executive, Governor Bibb.
 The arrival Of a photograph of Governor Kilby is all that is in the way of the early production of the coin. according to the superintendent of the fine arts commission It IS the information of Representative l.. B. Rainey, under whose bill the ceins will be produced, that the governor has promised to go through the ordeal of new sitting in honor of the extraordinary event.
 The bill authorizing the coinage was enacted into law shortly after Mr. Rainey took his seat three years ago. The delay was caused by the inadaptability of certain dies pre- scented by the state and the apparent disinclination on the part of the state to produce the necessary sum for the sI. al
 Happily. all hindrances are elimi mated and the sole remaining cause or delay is the lack of the governors photograph. The coins will be turned over to the state for their equivalent in ordinary money and will be dis posed of by the state through banks, it is indicated
