r t ALF of the game is what you
ll throw away,
And what you keep, before you start
to play.
And life’s the same,
Same sort of game—
Much like a hafid of cribbage that
you play.
Discard the useless from your heart
and mind,
The plans unworthy and the thought?
unkind,
Old hurts, old hates,
And selfish traits,
And winning will be easy, you will
find.
Yes, keep the right and throw the
wrong aside,
The little jealousies, the foolish prid«f
Consider, too,
The things you do, •
The evil habits from the good divide.
Count up your cards, not after but
before,
Keep what will likely make th*
largest score.
Some joy denied
And thrown aside
May, at the finish, make you eveD
more.

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
A CURE FOR OBSTINACY
T OHNNY CHUCK was stiff and sore.
It was the day after the great
fight. Johnny sat on his doorstep and
he was in anything but a happy state
of mind. In the first place, each sep-
arate wound made by the teeth of Red-
dy Fox had a separate and distinct
ache. No one who aches all over can
be in a very-happy state of mind.
Then, too, Johnny was nervous. He
kept turning his head every two or
three minutes to make sure that all
was safe behind him. That stone wall
which had seemed such a splendid pro-
tection when he built his house in the
corner of it now seemed a constant
danger. Johnny imagined he heard
enemies creeping up on the other side
of it. He expected to see the head
of Reddy Fox or Mrs. Reddy bob up
over the top of that wall any minute.
No one as nervous as that can be in a
very happy frame of mind.
Also Johnny was beginning to be
quite honest with himself and to ad-
mit that he wished he never had
Jhought of leaving his fine home in the
far corner of the Old Orchard. He
wished he was back there. He knew
n -w that it was the very best place
in all the Great World. At least, it
was the very best place for him. But
he was still too obstinate to make up
his mind to go back there. If there
had been no one there he wouldn’t
have minded. But Polly Chuck was
there and Johnny just couldn’t make
up his mind to go back and confess
that he had been wrong in the first
place. Of course, no one feeling that
way could be in a very happy frame
of mind.
But what made him most unhappy
of all was the fact that he was hun-
gry and all the time growing hungrier.
Suspenders Go Feminine
He didn’t go far enough away from his
doorstep to get his breakfast, and he
hadn’t had much to eat the day before,
nothing at all after the great fight.
With longing eyes he looked over to
the distant clover patch. After his ex-
perience of the day before he didn’t
dare go so far from his house. If he
had been feeling all right he wouldn’t

have dared to. Stiff and sore as he
was it was out of the question. He
couldn’t run and he couldn’t fight.
He tried to eat some of the grass
near his doorstep. It was thick with
dust and so gritty and unpleasant to
the taste that he managed to swallo.w
only a little of it/ So the morning
passed and afternoon came. With ev-
ery passing minute Johnny grew hun-
grier. The hungrier he grew the more
he thought of the delicious sweet clo-
ver which grew so close to his old
home in the far corner, and the more
he thought of this the more he thought
about going home.
Late in the afternoon Sammy re-
turned to see how Johnny was getting
on. An idea came to Johnny. He
would ask Sammy Jay to keep watch
while he hurried over to that patch of
clover and get a bite or two. Sammy
agreed at once. But Sammy is just
brimming over with mischief, as you
know. Johnny was only half way to
the patch of clover when Sammy
screamed. Back scrambled Johnny
Chuck as fast as he could. When he
found it was just a joke he scolded
as only he can scold. This tickled
Sammy Jay and he flew away laugh-
ing. You see, Sammy didn’t know how
very, very hungry Johnny Chuck was.
By the time jolly, round, red Mr.
Sun went to bed behind the Purple
Hills, hunger and fear had quite cured
Johnny Chuck of obstinacy. He would
start for home the first thing in the
morning.

APPETIZING DISHES
TN THE spring and early summer
* green foods—fresh vegetables and
fruit—are more appealing than more
complicated foods. There are some
roughage foods that are needed all
the year round and an occasional use
of bran in food, or taken in water as a
drink, will keep the elimination good.
For the. children the bran may be
given in small cakes, cookies and
macaroons.
Bran Date Muffins.—Break two eggs
into a mixing bowl and beat with an
egg beater for two minutes; add two-
thirds of a cupful of milk, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth cup-
ful of sugar and one-fourth cupful of
softened shortening. Add two tea-
spoonfuls of baking powder to one
cupful of flour, add one cupful of bran,
one-half cupful of dates cut fine,
and one-half cupful of nutmeats cut
fine. Mix all as usual and beat well.
Bake in well greased muffin pans for
twenty-five minutes.
Calf’s Liver Sandwich Spread.—Rub
cooked liver with hard-cooked eggs
through a sieve, using to one pound
of liver three hard cooked eggs. Add
one grated onion, salt and pepper to
season. Mix well and spread on but-
tered bread. A layer of thinly sliced
sour pickle will add to the sandwich.
Shrimp and Liver Sandwiches.—
Take one cupful of cooked shrimps,
one cupful of cooked chicken livers,
one bermuda onion and one green
pepper. Remove the seeds from the
pepper and grind with all the other
ingredients; mix with a little mayon-
naise or chili sauce. Use on buttered
white bread for filling.

TZ"EEP the weight back on the

to the left ruining control and power.
To offset too rigid legs in this posi-
tion the knees should be bent slight-

the golfer from stooping over too far.
A fault of golfers In general Is that
they bend forward too far with the
weight on the toes, a position in which
it is difficult to pivot properly. One
reason for this is that the ball is
often too far away, necessitating

BEADS ONCE USED
AS LEGAL TENDER
Wampum Recognized by the
Colonies in 1637.
The earliest American money was
wampum, that being a string of
shells an Indian wore around his
neck when he dressed up. The red-
skin’s necktie was not merely some-
thing which the New England colo-
nist used to trick a native out of
some choice skins. The beads were
actually recognized in - the Colonies
as the coin of the realm. A Massa-
chusetts order in council of 1637
made wampum full legal tender up
to a shilling, at-the rate of six black
beads or three white beads to a
penny. And a Connecticut settler
was authorized by law to pay taxes
in wampum up to ten pounds ster-
ling.
In an identical way, tobacco was
established as the money of Vir-
ginia, rice of- South Carolina, wool
of Rhode Island and rum in many
places. The value of each of this
miscellany of trinkets and vegetables
was always reckoned in terms of
pennies, shillings and pounds of the
English monetary system. The colo-
nists brought along small amounts
of metallic money when they came
across. And as this accumulated, it
circulated freely among the people.
Traffic with the Spanish colonies
brought in some of their coins, but
trade as a whole was handicapped
because of the lack of an adequate
currency. The demand for money
was so persistent that a mint was
set up in New England, but opposi-
tion by the home government soon
put a stop to that.
Due to the lack of metallic money,
the Colonial governments fell into
the practice of printing jjaper money.
As there wrasn’t any other'circulat-
ing medium, the paper passed for a
time as if it were the real article.
However, since the issuing govern-
ments could maintain no adequate
reserves for redeeming the notes as
they fell due, and as the colonies
found the device so easy that there
was a constant temptation to put out
more, the notes fell in value.
When depreciation went so far as
to appall the authorities, a new set
of bills would be put out. with the
officials swearing that this time it
would be different and the issue
would be confined to what could be
redeemed. But the promises, even
when backed by good intentions,
were never kept.
At length, the English merchants
complained that they were having
difficulties making collections for
goods sold and delivered because of
the variable currency. The English
then yielded and sent over a quan-
tity of silver and bronze, and put
the colonies on a sound metallic ba-
sis. So it stood when the Boston!
ans gave their famous tea party.
Wars are financed in three ways:
by taxing, borrowing or inflating.
Taxation was not available to the
American revolutionists because the
precipitating cause of the war was
the objection of the colonists to tax-
ation. Borrowing was impossible,
except to a slight extent with France,
because the new country had not es-
tablished its credit. The only feas-
ible means of financing the war,
therefore, was b~' inflation, by issu-
ing irredeemable paper currency.
And that is precisely what was done.
