King Ferdinand, a teacher In one of the Indianapolis city schools had for her history lesson the story of Columbus and his discovery of the New world. In the course of the class discussion the teacher mentioned the appeals made by Columbus to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain for financial assistance. One member of the class, appearing much concerned, asked: "Is that the same King Ferdinand that is Queen Majtrii'a husband r Plea for Tolerance You can't get along with other people if you carry old grudges.

His drowsy companion Jumped up, struck the barrel and the bullet went wild. The lizard scurried under a rock. "Donl get excited. TOOK Just listen." There were four of us once who went hunting and fishing way back in the woods. We had horses with us and an automobile and were equipped to spend a month by ourselves. It was the wildest and most lonesome place I ever saw and one with the largest mixture of scenery. The hills rose up on both sides ,ot a valley filled with white and smooth rocks so that, except for the few cypresses which seemed to break right through the stone, it looked like a river had petrified. Well, never mind the scenery, except that when night came there were queer shadows and weird cries and the moon lighted up the white rocks in a ghastly sort ol^ way. The auto belonged to a feller m call Bill, and Bill was the best hunter of the lot. He was always taking long excursions on his horse and we never thought It strange when be turned in late. We Just Irotit a big Are to show him the way, pulled up our blankets and went to sleep. In the morning . Bill was there. One night when there wasn't any wind and the cries of a mountain lion were sending creepy echoes up the valley we stayed awake a little longer than usual, hoping Bill would show up. I guess we all felt uneasy, but not a one would admit It I know I felt like a small boy sleeping outdoors for the first time, but I shut my eyes, told myself not to be a fool, and went to sleep. So did the rest Long about midnight there was a loud howl close by and we all sat up. Then somebody laughed, stopped suddenly, and the moon shone on three scared faces. The howl was Bill's automobile a few yards away. Its horn was tooting and there was nobody there to press the button I Bill's cot was empty. The shrill sound of the horn rose and fell and tt seemed somehow like It was a cigr of distress. Bomebody, I don't remember which, ran over, punched on the button and fooled with the thing, but it kept on screaming. We went back by the fire, pulled on our clothes and nobody said a word. "Bill 1 You don't suppose something has happened to him? He ought to be back by now." That is what we all thought It may seem queer now, but back there In that mountain moonlight with the white rocks staring it was as if that automobile of Bill's had awakened us for some reason. We were all getting ready to go out and look for him and as we left, each following a trail, that horn quit Then it was deathly silent and we shoved along. The first who found Bill was to fire a gun. I found him. He had taken the short cut up the slope to camp and his horse had slipped on the rocks. There he was pinned under the animal and his face was twisted at the moon. I pulled him out and fired the gun. We carried him back to the camp and after a while he got over it A few more hours, though. If It hadn't been for that horn, and he would have been dead. "But the lisard T Where does he come In?" "Next morning we examined the automobile and found a lizard tangled op in the wiring of the horn. In his struggles to get out he had short-circuited the thing. Call It whatever you wish but, if you are a friend of mine, use a tin can or something that ain't alive for a target." (Cppyrtibt) First Iron Steamer* Had to Win Approval Experiments with Iron steamship* were made before 1843, but not until that year was a vessel of considerable size constructed of Iron. The first Iron steamer built was the Aaron Manby, but this was not a large craft. The Alburkah, 70 feet long, with a 16- horsepower engine, was built In 1831. She drew three feet six Inches, and her successful navigation disproved the Idea that a light draft was dangerous, according to W. Clark Russell In "The Ship: Her Story.** The first Iron steamers ever to engage In warfare were the Nemesis and the Phlegethon. They took part in the China war of 1842. The Great Britain, launched July 19. 1843, was the first lnrpe Iron steamer to enter the New York-Liverpool run. She was 322 feet long. 48 feet broad, 31 % feet deep, and had a burden of 3,270 tons. She was equipped with four diagonal cylinders, each 80 Inches In diameter, with a 72- inch stroke. Her horsepower was 1.500. Noise Counts for LittU The man who makes a lot of noise seldom makes anything else. In some ways he Is like an empty vessel pounded with an Iron spoon. It's well to remember that "deep waters run Silently yet powerfully" and to act accordingly.-- Grit SUCCESS ON SCREEN MEANS MUCH WORK The movie-going public, unfamiliar with the making of a moving picture, has no Idea Of the "time and labor required to produce a film that runs an hour or two In a theater, according to Lillian Gish, famous American screen star, who says, in an article In Liberty, "You buy a ticket at the box office, find a seat, and watch a picture for a while. Then you get your hat and walk out In two hours you have witnessed something whlcb may have taken us eight months and a million dollars to make. "You have seen a woman walk across the screen," continues the actress, "pause at a window, and turn to stare at a man coming through a door. It takes 40 seconds to show you that scene--and it may have taken us 40 hours to get it right We may have done that one bit of acting a hundred times in rehearsal, and a dozen times before the camera; and that is only one of a thousand episodes in. the play.** • - v WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS OflNTEREST TAKEN FROM COLUMNS ©T OUR EXCHANGE? HOT EXACTLY WHAT ^ LOVER LOOKED FOR District Attorney Wallace, discussing the punishment recently meted out to immoral plays, said at a luncheon In New York: "These people expected praise and pelf. They got Instead--well, what they got Instead must have made them feel worse than the young bond salesman. "The young bond\ salesman said nervously to a pretty ^irl at a dance: " 'I'm all shot to pieces over Helen. Can't sleep or nothln'. I'd give the world if I could find out whether ahe cares for me or not' "'Helen often speaks of you,' said the pretty girl. 'She calls you her 'good resolution.* ** "'By gosh, but that makes me happy,' said the bond salesman; and then be added, 1 wonder what ahe means by that?' " 'She tells me,' laughed the pretty girl, 'that she means you're always broke.'" ' . of a Bank Teller Banking, as understood by some women, Is a mysterious process, according to one bank teller. The other day a woman handed In her bank book filled with scratched pages and illegible scrawls. "How did this happen?" he asked. "Why," she explained sweetly, "the lapt time my account was balanced it mdn't come out right, so I Just changed It In the little red book." Another announced indignantly: "I'm going to take my money out of this bank at once. They are so disagreeable, they have Just told me my account is overdrawn."
