How the the Fairy

Once upon a time there was a fairy who wanted to be a woman. So one day when she was passing ehe saw a poor little girl who had no mother nor father and looked to be very hungry and cold. The little girl saw another little girl have a piece of pie so she wanted a piece too but she had no mother to make one for her so she could have none. So when the changed

The Sandman Story for Tonight

THE LOST BROWNIE In a little grey house on a little grey hill lived a little grey woman all alone? She was not very old, but she had thought of herself so much and of nothing else in the world that she had become an ugly, dried-up creature, with never a smile and never a kind word or crust for anyone. One day as she was watering her plants she saw a dear, little brownie picking a crumb from her table. She sprang at the little man with her broom uplifted and hit him on the heel. As she did so the tiny golden shoe fell from his foot to the floor. The dame picked it up. "Oh! give me my shoe back," moaned the brownie weeping. "I cannot return home without it they will not let me in if it is lost." "Ha, ha!" replied the dame, "that Is fine, I can keep you here and you can do my work. I will not pay you a penny. . The poor little brownie was now a prisoner. He had to get up at dawn and work all day with little to eat and many hard words, for the dame seemed to get meaner every hour. Very thin and pale he grew. One day the dame was cutting up a big weed when the axe slipped and cut her foot The kind brownie ran to her, washed the blood from her leg and gently bound up the wound. As she lay there she caught a glimpse of the good little man's face. How pale it looked and the eyes shone in great dark hollows! For the first time In her life she felt sorry for him his kindness had at last touched her heart. With shame she reflected on her cruelty. . "Brownie," she called, "here is the key to my chest; unlock it, find In the bottom your shoe and bring It to me." ' Trembling with joy the little man unlocked the chest and soon had the shoe in his possession. But he did not keep it. Handing it to the dame, he waited. , "You have served me long and faithfully," she said, with a sob in her voice. "And you have had poor treatment. But I see now how unkind I have been. Can you forgive me? Take your shoe and return

Got Her Home

herself into a woman she went to the little girl's house, When she got there she asked the fairy if she might make her a pie and the fairy was very pleased and said "Yes." So she went to work and made a nice hot pie for the little girl and herself and had it for supper. The little girl likes the fairy very much. LUCILE HALL 6A grade, Whitewater School home. I am sick and helpless, but I cannot bear the thought of having you a prisoner- any longer. Go at once." The brownie put on the shoe and with a glad cry vanished, while the dame turned over to take a nap, knowing that she had no one to help her and was helpless In the bargain." "I deserve to suffer," she said to herself. "I have kept that little fellow from his home for a long time." But no sooner had she fallen asleep than there was a soft noise in the room. A band of brownies led by the little man came trooping in and set to work so quietly that they never disturbed the sleeper. The floors were scrubbed and covered with a bright carpet, the walls were painted and filled with beautiful pictures; the yard was set with roses of every hue and in the "garden a dozen brownies planted every kind of seed. When the dame woke up she could scarcely believe her eyes her shabby, old house was a thing of beauty, full of light and pretty things. The sheep bleated, the horse neighed at the gate and the cow lowed from -the field, while from the kitchen came the delicious smell of a fine dinner. She put her foot to the floor it was well. Full of happiness, she looked in the mirror and saw her ugly face was changed, its selfish wrinkles fading. So that she was no longer the mean, cross dame but for the future she was known to her neighbors and to the brownies as the good dame of the pretty house. RIDDLES 1. Why are guns like trees? 2.

INDIAN PREVENTS ROBBERY OF MONEY Once upon a time out west was a boy and his father, and they had a year's savings and nobody knew where it was. Some man came to town so somebody told him and his partner, and said that he would pay them to get it. They went to the man's house and asked him for work. He studied for a while and then said, "Well, all right. What do you want to do?"

The man said, "I want to watch the money, because when I was down town I heard that a fellow wanted that money and so I thought I would tell you." "Well, I'll have to find out what kind of a man you are," so he walked down town and asked about him. He went in the store. He did not know about the game and he came to the fellow who said that he had met him out in the country and had trusted him with all the gold and things he wanted. So from that the man thought he could trust him with his year's savings. " There was an Indian and his name was Roy Congo, and so I will go on with my story. The man decided to let him watch his money and the Indian went up to the house and he saw the new ones trying to get the lock off of the chest, so he ran to where the others were and they came with him, and they got one but the other got away. The In dian got on the other's horse. He got the man and he got him off his horse and tied him up, and a big reward was given to Roy Congo. GEORGE CUMMINS Vaile School LITTLE PRINCESS FINDS HUSBAND Once upon a time there was a little princess who was left all alone in the world. Her father and mother were dead, and she was left in the hands of her wicked aunt. - Her aunt took all her pretty clothes off of her and put rags on her and made her go out in the world. No one knew that she was a princess. She went to a farm house and asked if they needed a shepherdess and they told her yes, so she took the sheep and went out in the field. There was a prince that was riding on his horse, and when he saw her, he fell in love with her. Then he got off of his horse and started after her, but she ran and hid, so he went back to his horse and rode away. The prince was so in love with her that he dreamed of her night and day. Then the prince told his father that he must send for the girl that he saw in the field, so the king sent for the girl. When the prince saw the girl he fell at her feet and asked her to be his bride, so they were married and lived happily eyer after. FLORENCE LAWSON 5A grade, Vaile School PLAYAKAZOO One of the latest fads for the boys and girls in the city are the marvelous "Kazoos" that anyone can play, and which make enough "music" (otherwise noise) to satisfy the ears of any growing animal. Several hundred have been disposed of in such a short time that the dealers have been having trouble to meet the demand, and as many youngsters have been Jiappily parading the streets, Kazooing at the top of their voices.
