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.

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.” - - Rosy Cheeks Without Paint. 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. After the Boat Ride.
