From November to May the weekly benefits were paid to about 1,250,000 persons. Payments are now being made to about 760,- 000. At first the amount paid the men out of work was $6 a week, $5 to women, $3 to boys and 32.50 to girls.

CHESTER TAYLOR & 17th and Derry St. Harrisburg, Pa. SATURDAY EVENING, for doing nothing spread many tired workers immediately resigned their jobs and came upon the government, according to testimony in the courts, while others who never had done nor wished to do any work found themselves in the happy position of gathering unexpected manna from the heavens. Instructions from the government to disbursing officials were to lean toward the side of generosity and this policy appears to have pre vailed.

So when Langwidere sat in her easy chair and played soft melodies upon her mandolin,her form was mirrored hundreds of times, in walls and ceiling and floor, and whichever way the lady turned her head she could see and admire her own features. This she loved to do, and just as the maid entered she was saying to herself: "This head with the auburn hair and hazel eyes Is quite attractive. I must wear it more often than I have done of late, although it may not be the best of my collection." "You have company, Your High ness," announced the maid, bowing low. "Who is It?" asked Landwidere, yawning. "Dorothy Gale, of Kansas, Mr. Tiktok and Btllina," answered the maid. "What a queer lot of names!" murmured the Princess, beginning to be a little Interested. "What are they like? Is Dorothy Gale of Kan sas pretty?" "She might be called so," the maid replied. "And is Mr. Tiktok attractive?" continued the Princess. "That I cannot say. Your Highness. But he seems very bright Will Your Gracious Highness see them?" "Oh, I may as well, Nanda. But I am tired admiring this head, and if my visitor has any claim to beauty I must take care that she does not surpass me. So I will go to my cab inet and change to No. 17, which I think Is my best appearance. Don't you ?" "Your No. 17 is exceedingly beau tiful," answered Nanda, with another bow. Again the Princess yawned. Then she said: "Help me to rise." So the maid assisted her to gain her feet, although Langwidere was (he stronger of the two: and then the Princess slowly walked across the silver floor to her cabinet, leaning heavily at every step upon Nanda's arm. . Now I must explain to you that the Princess Langwidere had thirty heads—as many as there are days in the month. But of course she could only wear one of them at a time, be cause she had but one neck. These heads were kept in what she called her "cabinet," which was a beautiful dressing-room that lay just between I.angwidere's sleeping chamber and! the mirrored sitting room. Each bead was in a separate cupboard lined with velvet. The cupboards ran all around the sides of the dress ing room, and had elaborately carved doors with gold numbers on the out side and jewelled-framed mirrors on the inside of them. ■When the Princess got out of her crystal bed in the morning she went to her cabinet, opened one of the vel vet-lined cupboards and took the head it contained from its golden shelf. Then, by the aid of the mir ror inside the open door, she put on Drive in and See There's only one way to find out just what Willard Service means to you in terms of long er battery life — There's only one way to put Willard prompt ness , efficiency and com petence to the test — There's only one way for you to realize on the service that we offer to you as a user of a Willard Battery— That one way is to drive in and see.

She • always wore a simple white costume, \ that suited all the heads. For, being . able to change her face whenever ' i she liked, the Princess had no in- j i terest in wearing a variety of gowns, as have other ladies who are com peled to wear the same face con stantly. 1 Of course the thirty heads were in 1 great variety, no two formed alike but all being of exceeding loveliness. There were heads with golden hair, 1 brown hair, rich auburn hair and black hair; but none with gray hair. 1 The heads had eyes of blue, of gray, of hazel, of brown and of black: but there wereno red eyes among them, and all were bright and handsome. The noses were Grecian. Roman, re trousse and Oriental, representing all types of beauty; and the mouths were of assorted sizes and shapes, diplaying pearly teeth when the head smiled. As for dimples, they appeared in cheeks and chins where ever they might be most charming and one or two heads had freckles | upon the faces to contrast the better | with the brilliancy of their complex- I ions. One key unlocked all the velvet j cupboards containing these treasures j—a curious key carved from a single 1 blood-red ruby—an 1 this was fasten ed to a strong but slender chain | which the Princess wore around her j left wrist. j When Nanda had supported Lang ! widere to a position in front of No. j 17, the Princess unlocked the door | with her ruby key and after handing head No. 9, which she had been wearing to the maid, she took No. 17 from its shelf and fitted it to her neck. It had black hair and dark eyes and a lovely pearl-and-white complexion, and when Langwidere wore it she knew she was remarkably beautiful in appearance. There was only one trouble with No. 17; the temper that went with it (and which was hidden somewhere under the glossy black hair) was fiery, harsh and haughty in the ex treme and it often led the Princess to do unpleasant things which she re gretted when she came to wear her other heads. Rut she did not remember this to day and went to meet her guests in the drawing-room with a feeling of | certainty that she would surprise them with her beauty. However, she was great'y disap pointed to find that her visitors were merely a small girl in a gingham dress, a copper man that would only go when wound up and a yellow hen that was sitting contentedly in Lang widere's best work-basket, where there was a china egg used for darn ing stockings.* "Oh!" said Langwidere. slightly lifting the nose of No. 17, "I thought DESCRIBES SCENES!

"Then you were right," declared Dorothy. "I'm a good deal of 'por tance myself and when Billina lays an egg she has the proudest cackle you ever heard. As for Tiktok, he's "Stop Stop!" commanded the Princess, with an angry flash of her splendid eyes. "How dare you an noy me with your senseless chatter?" "Why you horrid thing!" said Dorothy, who was not accustomed to being treated so rudely. The princess looked at her more closely. "Tell me," she resumed, "are you of royal blood?" "Better than that, ma'am," said Dorothy. "I came from Kansas." "Huh!" cried the Princess scorn fully, "You are a foolish child and I cannot allow you to annoy me. Run away, you little goose and bother some one else." Dorothy was so indignant that for a moment shp could find no words to reply. But she arose from her chair and was about to leave the room when the Princess, who had been scaning the girl's face, stopped hci by saying, more gently: "Come nearer to me." Dorothy obeyed, without a thought of fear and stood before the Princess while Langwidere examined her face with careful attention. "You are rather attractive," said the lady, presently. "Not at all beau tiful, you understand, but you have a certain style of prettiness that is different from that of any of my thirty heads. So I believe I'll take your head and give you No. 26 for it." "Well, I b'lieve you won't!" ex claimed Dorothy. "It will do you no good to refuse," continued the Princess; "for I need your head for my collection and in the Land of Ev my will is law. 1 never have cared much for No. 26, and you wi'l find that it is very little worn. Resides, it will do you just as I well as the one you're wearing, for all practical purposes." "I don't know anything about your No. 26 and I don't want to," said Dorothy, firmly. "I'm not used to taking cast-off things, so I'll just keep my own head." "You refuse?" cried the Princess, i with a frown. "Of course I do," was the reply. "Then," said Langwidere. "I shall lock you up in a tower until you de cide to obey me. Nanda," turning to her maid, "call my army." Nanda rang a silver bell and at once a big fat colonel in a bright red uniform entered the room, followed by ten lean soldiers, who all looked sad and discouraged and saluted the princess in a very melancholy fash ion. "Carry that girl to the North j property. It covered the railway I station, buried the locomotives and j cars and destroyed virtually every house in Blitar, Wlingi and Srengat.

One European, while in bed in his house, was carried away and de posited miles distant. 50,000 Lives Lost A Sourabaya paper which places the total loss of life at 50,000 says that 15 Europeans perished, and that after the volcano subsided the arms | and ,legs of the victims were seen protruding through the mud all over Kediri district, in the vicinity of Kal ut. Many thousands of persons are reported missing. It is learned that three lava streams flowed from the volcano all taking the same course as in the eruption of 1901. On of these destroyed Blitar.

"To hear is to obey," answered the big red colonel and caught the child by her arm. But at that moment Tiktok raised his dinner-pail and pounded it so forcibly against the colonel's head that the big officer sat down upon the tloor with a sudden bump, looking both dazed and very much astonished. "Help!" he shouted and the ten lean soldiers sprang to assist their leader. There was great excitement for the next few moments and Tiktok had knocked down seven of the army, who were sprawling in every direc tion upon the carpet, when, suddenly the machine paused, with the dinner pail raised for another blow, and re mained perfectly motionless. "My ac-tion has run down," he called to Dorothy. "Wind me up, quick." She tried to obey, but the big col onel had by this time managed to get upon his feet again, so he grab bed fast hold of the girl and she was helples to escape. 4 "This is too bad," said the ma chine. "I ought to have run six hours lon-ger, at least, but I sup pose my long walk and my fight with the Wheel-ers made me run down fast-er than us-u-al." "Well, it can't be helped," said Dorothy, with a sigh. "Will you exchange heads with me?" demanded the Princess. "No, indeed!" cried Dorothy. "Then lock her up," said Langwl dere to her soldiers and they led Dor othy to a high tower at the north of the palace and locked her securely within. The soldiers afterward tried to lift Tiktok. but they found the machine so solid and heavy that they could not stir it. So they left him standing in the center of the drawing-room. "People will think I have a new statue," said Langwidere, "so it won't matter in the least, and Nanda can keep him well polished." "What shall we do with the hen?" asked the colonel, who had just dis covered Billina in the work-basket. "Put her in the chicken house," answered the Princess. "Some day I'll have her fried for breakfast." "She looks rather tough, Your Highness," said Nanda, doubtfully.
