GOOD WILL MITE
HARPER'S ROUND TABLE
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FUND
_Amount_, $........................
_Contributor_.
_This money is contributed, not because it is asked for, but because I want to give it._
If you use this Good Will Mite, simply pin it to your letter, in order that it may be detached for filing. If the amount is given by more than one contributor, add blanks for their names, but attach the added sheet firmly to the Mite, that it may not become detached and lost. Include a given name in each case, and write plainly, to avoid errors on the Honor Roll.
Kinks.
No. 92.--BEHEADINGS.
The beheaded letters, if rightly guessed, will spell the name of a famous English revolutionist.
1. Behead cowardly, and leave a large black bird.
2. Behead a skating pavilion, and leave a writing-fluid.
3. Behead a fruit, and leave to exist.
4. Behead a red pigment, and leave a serpent.
5. Behead to blow gently, and leave abaft.
6. Behead an occurrence, and leave an opening.
7. Behead to bind, and leave a unit.
8. Behead a den, and leave atmosphere.
No. 93.--COIN OF THE REALM.
Men will fight for sterling silver, And h.o.a.rd the s.h.i.+ning gold; For the dollar is almighty, With uses manifold.
There are various other moneys Not taken in account, That have their special values And uses paramount.
1. There's one that's hard and brittle, Grayish or silvery white; 'Tis used in bells and mirrors To make them clean and bright.
2. One oft purchases an office.
Which never should be sold.
3. One's the heritage of children, In goods or lands or gold.
4. This one ushers in another, 5. A union of two lives-- Oft a curious kind of lottery For husbands or for wives.
6. This is paid as compensation To many an injured wife; 7. And this is used as medicine-- Mayhap 'twill save a life.
8. This one curses every miser, 9. And this will bitter be; 10. This is useful confirmation, 11. And this makes all agree.
No. 94.--FIVE WORDS SQUARES.
Upper left-hand square.--1. To exist. 2. A metal. 3. Not good. 4.
Extremities.
Upper right-hand square.--1. To make a sound. 2. What heathens wors.h.i.+p.
3. A knot. 4. A dale.
