The plan of this movement is simple and. inexpensive, and it can be partici pated in by the old or young of either sex. All that is proposed is that those who unite in the movement, as a silent tribute to the m'emory of McKinley, shall wear a carnation in the lapel of the coat, or at the throat or in the hair on the anniversary of his birth, January 29. What is contemplated is that the day phall be generally observed in that manner in memory of a public servant whose life was forfeited because he was the servant of the people.

'V; Most of our readers heard the story of the blacksmith who refused to take in payment for shoeing a horse one cent for the first nail, two cents for the second, four cents for the third, thns doubling the amount for each nail. A person may make use of a checker board in proving that the blacksmith would have been ahead of the game, by simply placing one penny on the first square, two on the next and thns doub ling the amount on each succeeding square until the entire sixty-four are full. If you cannot get enough pennies together to try the experiment we will lend you the ones we used. The total number required is only 18,446.744,078.- 709,551,615. - It would be well to secure the largest checker board possible and and see that it rests on a stable founda tion. If all the pennies were piled up in one column the top penny would be just 16,174,544,116,259 miles above the earth. Now if you could wrap this im mense copper shaft around the earth it would make something like 646,981,7*4 circles 25000 miles in length. Or for a still better test take the pennies out on the kitchen floor and make a carpet of them by laying them side by side. It would only require 2,584,848,170 square miles of floor space. If anyone doubts these figures and has not the time in which to prove them, we invite you to call at this office and see the entire problem in black and white.
