Beauer Skins as Mone1

II you had lived in colonial times in America
you might have had the novel experience OF
buying various things with beaver skins instead
Of monsy. For in those days furs were an
article of standard value and were used fO9
the purchase of almost everything.
Thus, a got for the kitchen cost one beavet
pelt, and a mirror two. musket was sold fol-
its height in beaver skins piled up. Perhaps
that is Why the barrels OF the guns were made
so long. for the longer the barrel the m@e
skins it would bring when sold.
Men actually paid for whole houses With
beaver skins in those days, and the man who
made the sale had no doubt that he would
be able to get full value out Of his payment,
In fact, it might almost be said that the modest
little beaver paid with his fur for the entire
cost of exploring and settling the new world
He the one steady source Of income to4
the men who opened up this wild country.

It is surprising to learn how many pressAts
day customs originated in the social life Of the
Greeks and Romans. Beautiful combinations
of letters. or monograms, as they are called,
have ben found en- old Greek coins and rings.
The early rulers of France and Germany
were unable to write their names. So when 1t
was necessary to attach their signatures to inns
portant documents it was customary to use q
monogram Even Charlemagne, the great
French hero, could not sign his name. He
caused a monogram to be made and used &C ins

When they had reached point q short dis
lance away from camp. Johnny halted his

Look here, fellows" he said. 'Ive been
thinking this over, and at flrst thought the
best plan would be to rush the camp in one
bunch. But that's too risky. At least one de-
fender Is bound to get IN front Of Us, and even
one can touch and thus capture q whole crowd.
If Alec is smart he'll put few scouts cut to
watch for us, and keep the rest OF his army
right close to the IRE, where they can meet
us from any direction. It's going to be mighty
hard getting a message through them"
Joe Edwards spoke up. "Why not spread
out all around the camp and everybody rush
from a different direction at once? That ought
TO confuse them"
