One Kind Act

Little Willie was so depressed one
night at bedtime that his father
asked him what the trouble was. Will
lie answered sadly that he had failed
to perform a single kind action that
day, thus going counter to the boy
scout ritual.
"Well, cheer up" said his father.
"You can perform two kind actions
tomorrow"
But Willie doubted If he could make
up his fault In that way, and he
turned in very low-spirited indeed. In
the morning. however, he was himself
again. u
Got over your troubles, eh7" said
his father
"Yes, sir" said little Willie. Il

First U. S. Currency
Easily Counterfeifed

So easily counterfeited were the first
lots of paper money issued by the
United States government in the sixties
that spurious bills flooded the country.
and countless astute business men
were victimized. Finally, to balk the
criminals, book called "Heath's In
fallible. Government Counterfeit De-
tector at Sight" was published.in 1870.
In those old days money was printed
on ordinary paper. which counterfeit
ers could easily obtain or initiate and,
consequently, such book as "Heath's
Detector," which concentrated on the
designs on the bills, was needed. Now,
however, special brand of paper with
special water marks. whorls and en-
bedded tiny silk threads, is used. This
paper cannot be initiated by the coun-
terfeiter and such book as the "Detec-
tor" is not now needed.
The book, published by Laban Heath
4 Co. of Boston and Washington,
claimed to be "the only infallibIe
method" of detecting counterfeit notes
and bonds with genuine designs
(which were mutilated) from original
government plates by authority from
the United States Treasury department
and the American. National and Conti-
mental Bank Note companies, New
York and Boston. Detroit News

A Vivacio.1s Engine

An engineer was giving evidence In
case in which farmer was suing
railway company for damages result
ing from the death of cow which
had been run into by. a train.
The farmers lawyer was heckling
the engineer, and kept reverting to his
pet question, which was:
"Now, tell me, was the COW on the
track?"
At last the engineer became angry.
and answered the question:
"Well. If you want me to tell the
real truth, the COW was bathing in the
stream the other side of the track. But
the engine saw her. leaped of the
rails. dashed over the bank and, land
ing right on top of the COW, strangled
her to death without a word."-Mil.

'Dear Sir: Your request on behalf

as far as ! know, he abetted neither
arson nor pillage, and has, since the
