are works of art and represent the highest
possible value. The 23-inch frame "Yellow Fellow"
and 21-inch drop frame are just the proper sizes
for growing boys and girls. If you write E. C.
Stearns & Company, asking them to send you their
new illustrated catalogue, and will enclose two
2-cent stamps, they will send you an exact
reproduction of the famous ten-drachm piece of
Dionysius, the Tyrant of Syracuse. Dionysius went
over to Syracuse with his four-horse chariot,
called the quadriga, and, much to the surprise of
the Greeks, won the coveted laurel wreath at the
Olympian games. The Greeks refused Dionysius his
trophy, however, and, in his rage, he caused to be
struck off in commemoration of his victory the
most magnificent coin the world has ever known.
The coin was made by the greatest sculptor of
Athens, Simon. The coin is about as large as the
American silver dollar, and is carved in high
relief, on one side showing Dionysius in the
quadriga being crowned by winged Victory and on
the reverse, Arethusa, the tutelary goddess of the
sea, surrounded by her dolphins.
Send two 2-cent stamps for this beautiful
ten-drachm piece, mentioning "The Great Round
World."
