THE PENNY.
If a penny could talk it could
relate many strange tales. I,
the penny traveled around for
many years. I came from Wash
ington, I). C., and went from
place to place.
A man came in a store and
bought some things and the clerk
gave me to him for change. The
man went home and gave me to
his little child to get candy with.
The little child gave me to anoth
er clerk for candy. The clerk
put me and lots of others in a
large box, and the next day he
carried us to a large building.
There the man put me in a large
dark place and there I stayed for
many years. Then a man got
me out. and gave me to a little
boy. The boy dropped me in
some water and there a large
fish swallowed me. My! but it
was dark in therg.
At last a man caught the fish
and carried him to a building that
was called the market. The plan
cut the fish up and found me
there. Ht* put me in his money
drawer and there I found some
just like me. I liked to stay in
there, But 1 only stayed there for
i a short while and then he put me
into a safe and there I’ve stayed
lever since. E'rank Tarver,

PARADE OF FIGHTING BIRDS
What la Known as the Bass Rock, In
the Firth of Forth, Scotland,
Is Unique.
The fighting birds on the Bass rock,
in the Firth of Forth are described by
Oliver G. Pike in the London Dally
Mall.
"It Is certainly the most wonderful
citadel I have ever looked upon,” he
writes. “Its sides rise straight from
the sea, and If you placed .St. Paul’s
cathedral by Its side the cross would
only Just top the cliffs.
“Every available ledge rock contains
Its bird.
“In the past the Bass rock, In the
Firth of Forth, lias been a famous
fortress, holding out for years against
an attacking army. Now, it is a sea
bird’s citadel, and there they are safe
on the impregnable cliffs.
“One moment there is silence, and
that is the most beautiful moment
of all, for It Is like a scene from fairy
land, with dream-wings floating above
you. The next minute a gannet utters
Its harsh note and a thousand birds j
reply, until there is a deafening chorus.
"But If you have the temerity to
climb up among the gannets—and to
do this you must he u good climber —
then you will see many interesting
things.
“Several are fighting and their meth
od of settling a battle Is very different
from that of the farm-yard cockerel.
“They find a Convenient ledge, then,
holding one another’s beaks, pull and
push In opposite directions. The one
that wins the light is the one which
pushes or pulls Us opponent over the
cliff.”
SETTLED MATTER OF WEIGHT
Lost Tires Had to Account for Many
Pounds of Air Avowedly Pumped
Into •Them.
You never can tell what'is going to
happen In a golf game. Yesterday
we were not playing so Well, but we
were enjoying the company of a friend
mightily. Then he gave us this one:
"Had two tires stolen off the ear
(he other night. The wife had had
the car ull day and left it out In
front of the house while vve were at
dinner. Found the tires gone when
we came out. Got to talking about
this bit of knavery and wondered
how the rogues got away with them.
“ ‘Those tires are heavy, I sug
gested. They must have had a rig
to carry them In.’ That led the wife
to wonder just how heavy the tires
were anyhow.
“ ‘Oh, I don’t know,’ I replied. *1
fancy that one of those tires must
have weighed at least 50 pounds’
“‘How silly!” the wife retorted ‘lt
must have weighed u whole lot more
than thut, for I had 75 pofmds of air
put Into It Just this morning.’ ”
Agreed With Him.
There Is no branch of art in which
there is more pretense than In music.
The trouble U«/s in the fact that
music Is a matter of appreciation as
well as performance, and when a per
son likes a tiling It is rather hard to
tell him he does not.
Yet the discerning can positively
know that such a one totally with
out study or musical knowledge,
simply cannot appreciate a certain
musical work, any more than one to
tally Ignorant of books could really
like Gibbon’s "Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire.”
Yet what terrible bluffs such peo
ple put up!
A musician was discussing opera
with a woman.
“You know,” he said, “I am in
favor of singing all operas in this
country in English. I think it pref
erable from every standpoint.”
“I do, too,” she gushed. “Why, 1
heard ‘The Mikado’ in English, and
liked it very much.”
Never Liked Early Rising.
In a recently published biography ot
William Ewart Gladstone and Mrs.
Gladstone by their daughter, Mrs.
Mary Drew, she relates that until past
eighty, they from a sense of duty rose
early every morning and attended
church service before breakfast, not
varying their custom no mutter what
the weather might be. But this prac
tice dUI not make them like early ris
ing. Both of them always hated to get
up early and years did not cure them.
Mr. Gladstone once owned that the
struggle never grew less and that it
was as hard to get out of bed for the
morning service every day after he was
seventy as when he was half that age
Stumps the Sergeant.
VRlecently in one of Indianapolis'
court rooms a "bootlegger” was dis
missed by the Judge on the grounds
that the rural route box number ou
the search warrant, while correct, was j
not sufficient Identification for the
premises. The sergeant who hadTnade
the arrest after having found more j
than 200 quarts of the Volstead act j
violation in the residence, was heard
to mumble as he left the court room: ,
“The law’s a curious thing.”

Ruby lips that never grow lighter is ’
the promise an English beauty expert j
is holding out to fair customers. The
coloring is Injected through a hypoder- !
tulo, and does awny with powder pud
and lip stick. It can be used for color
iug the cheeks as well.

Bashful Buuny—Er-er-what would
you say, Miss Dolly, if 1 should give
you a kiss?
