Taking A Hill on High
It takes tots of power and ag ood start
to climb a hill without shifting gears.
Get a good start for the hills of the
day's work by eating a breakfast of
Shredded Wheat and milk. There is
a quick "get -away" in this delicious,
whole wheat food. No need for shift-
ing gears in the middle of the hill—
just go right on up with increased
energy and power. And Shredded
Wheat is in such a delicious, easily
digestible form.

We proceeded at a terrific pace; ob-
ejects shot past us with unbelievable
velocity. I perceived we were travers-
ing the Glasgow Road, evidently
Glasgow was our destination and we
overtook it in a fraction of a jiffy.
We tore through the City streets, and
1 recognized them all, until coming
to a "Detour Sign." We detoured and
continued along streets that were al-
together strange to me. We sighted
a tremendous Church, and I noticed
a vast crowd flocking towards it, a
crowd of exceedingly well dressed
persons. We drew up in front of this
edifice, and I was commanded to

was a fairly large one, so I drew the
woman towards it. ,
She had a shilling in her hand, and
disclosing it, muttered: "Some one
gave me this, in mistake; must have
been a mistake; I never had a shilling

not keep it. I wish to give it to the

slot in the Box; I heard it rattle
down, and settle at the bottom of the
Box. It made no clink against other
coins in its descent; it rested at the
bottom of the Box, alone.
I noted surprise on the woman's
countenance, and asked her, had she
heard.
Sorrowfully shaking her head she
said, "Yes, 1 heered." Instantly brigh-
tening, however, she added, "Well,
anyway, the poor will get something,

her. "Yes, oh, yes," she said, "they

The Donkey was very much af-

more genuine sadness in it, more pure
pity, more true sorrow, than freight-
ed any laugh, or any. _sigh, that had
