LONDON, Dec. 8.—A_ Russian Government dispatch dated Thurs- day and received here by wireless, announces that Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki Foreign Minister, has sent to all allied embassies and legations in Petrograd a note intimating that the armistice negotiations with the central Powers have been suspended fora week at the initiative of the Russiar delegation for the purpose of providing opportunity of inform- ing the peoples of the allied coun- tries the existence of such negotia- tions and their tendency. The note adds that the armistice will be signed only on condition that troops will not be transferred from one front to another and that Ger- man troops are cleared from the is- lands around Moon Sound. It gen- erally indicates the points of the ne- gotiations in accordance with the wireless statement received from i’e- tragrad Thursday, and concludes: “The period of delay thus given, even in the existing disturbed cundi- tion of international communica- tions, is amply sufficient to afford the allied Governments opportunity to define their attitude toward the peace negotiations, that !s, their will- ingness or refusal to participate in negotiations for an armistice and peace. “In case of refusal, they must de- clare clearly and definitely before all mankind the aims for which -.

THINK the pending ordinance is not a good one. Among its many serious defects, I will point out by way of summary the following: | handicap in an excessive initial purchase price, which may be fur- ther inflated from time to time, as the cost of improvements and extensions is added, while no de- preciation is subtracted except for useless property; and in the case of land sold off, no deduc- tion from capital value will be made unless the land is sold for less than its original cost. 9. No provision is made for the amortization of dead capital or for the establishment of a street railway purchase fund. 10. Back taxes are to be paid out of future earnings to the detri- ment of the public interest. 11. No public control over op- erating expenses and contracts for the purchase of power, sup- plies, etc., is provided. 12. The fares established are inflexible and without any rela- tion to the present-or future cost of service. 13. The bondholders are not made a party to the contract and old franchises are not surren- dered. 14. The ordinance seems | to be signed primarily to “help out” the company and to save it from bankruptcy which it richly deserves as the logical reward of its reckless overcapitalization policy in the past. provement” then the ameunt to be added to the purchase price would be new item of an improved type. If) this process were to be followed, the inflated with the cost of replace- | ments which should be paid for as\ part of operating expenses or out of. the depreciation reserve. The ordinance provides very prop- their depreciation. ditions, extensions and clude proper charges by the company for supervision of construction, for brokerage and for interest during Contractors’ profit and brokerage were allowed in the Chi- cago settlement at 15 per cent, and they have gone to swell the com- r----* ==-"'+= and to increase beyond all reason the purchase price. What the Board of Control would do with them in St. Louis no one can tell, but since an official of the com- pany is to have an equal voice with the city’s representative on this board and since no provision is made fo paying the board’s expertses, it is reasonable to assume that all or most of the facilities for effectively check- ing costs and making up allowances will be in the hands of the company’s man. Certainly with respect to in- creases in the purchase price, the city’s interests, though vital, are not properly protected. , We now come to the vital question of the method of paving for the prop- erty in case of purchase. There is the rub, always, when an impecun!- ous city is trying to do some finan- clally big thing like buying the street railways. Taking them over is a pleasant thought, but how about pay- ing for them? Under this ordinance the city has the option to pay in cash or in 4 per cent tax-exempt St. Louis bonds having a market value equiv- alent to the cash purchase price. Bond Provision: “Sounds Fine.” It sounds like something fine to have the company agree to take its pay in 4 per cent bonds, but as they are to be taken at market value in- stead of par, the advantage disap- pears. It makes no great difference whether the city pays in bonds and the company sells them, or the city sells them and pays in cash. In either the debt limit and market wpuld de- termine the practicability of the transaction. It is also provided that bonds, liens and other obligations outstand- ing against the property at the time the ordinance goes into effect and still outstanding at the time of pur- chase, shall be assumed by the city. and the purchase price paid in cash or city bonds be reduced according- ly. This gives the company the pow- er, as a part of its reorganization carried through before the ordinance is ac- cepted, to issue new bonds to any amount up to $60,000,000 and bear- jing any rate of interest up to 6 per C erent wee nt tan. _ cent, and in case of purchase the city would have to assume these bonds or get rid of them as best it could. This ordinance has the mental fault from the municipal! ownership point of view that it starts off with an excessive purchase price and gives many facilities for increas- ing it prior to the time of purchase, instead of starting off with a rock- bottom conservative price and taking every precaution to keep it down, as good public policy would dictate. }Having foundered on the reef of over-capitalization, why should the street railway system of St. Louis be sent crashing into it again under an- other captain?

TAXES, SPECIAL CONTRI- AND COMPENSATION After the general policies discussed | nder preceding heads have been finitely established, the question of | taxes and compensation must be set- | tled.

This leaves the city free to tax the plant and the franchise as property. also stipulated that the city -is to get one-fourth of the net profits between | 7 and 8 per cent on the capital value and one-half of the net profits above 8 per cent. The company also as- | sumes the usual paving obligations. One of the serious defects of the ordinance with respect to taxation is that the company is to be permitted to pay the mill tax already accrue1|ter hav2 probably been nullified by It is therefore, that the franchise should give the city the un- restricted rights to examine the com- pany’s books and require information In this respect the pro- in 10 installments, out of futvre earnings, and thus raise a little high- er the barrier to extensions and im- provements and postpone a little longer the city’s participation in the profits. The company should be compelled to pay the amounts due under the mill tax out of past earn- ings and not be permitted to saddle this operating expense, already ir- curred, upon the future. With so liberal a valuation and so liberal a definition of “reasonable return” as this ordinance recognizes, the city should get a much larger share of the surplus profits, any, either in the form of reduc- It is| when there are | tion fund or through the investment of surplus profits for the city’s ben- efit in betterments and extension». The latter is the policy followed in Kansas City as a means of working the water out of the reorganized capital value, and it is as clear «# clatinttin gone, nobody has any right to sur- plus profits. 9. CONTROL OF CAPITAL VAL- UE AND OPERATING EXPENSES, |'AND DISPOSITION OF EARN- | INGS. If the city has an option to buy at a defined price, it has a fundamen- tal interest in the contro! of capital account. It is not sufficiént to leave everything to the judgment of the Board of Control without prescrib- ing the rules to be followed in mak- ing charges to capital account. Where the city is to share in the trofits it is of prime importance that some effectéve form of control over the company’s operating expenses should be devised; as otherwise ex- penses may be inflated by the pay- ment of exorbitant salaries or by the purchase of materials and. sup- plies at high prices from concerns in which influential directors, officers or stockholders are interested. A case in point is the purschase cf power under contract from the Keokuk Development. Every such contract ought to be subject to pub- lic scrutiny and control; otherwise the city will have no means of pro- tecting its financial interest in the enterprise. If expenses are: to be ccntrolled, the franchise ought to prescribe the order of priority ac- cording to which the gross revenues} are to be disposed of. Some people rave a notion that the nickel, when \it has once been paid in, belongs to ‘the company to do as it pleases with. | This is not .so. The nickels are moneys accepted in trust to be spent for the benefit of the fare payers, and every street railway franchise ‘should prescribe what the money iz ito be spent for, and provide means 'for controlling its expenditure. The pending St. Louis ordinance ‘utterly ignores these requirements. There is no provision, even requir- ing the company to devote a definite proportion of its gross receipts to maintenance and depreciation, al- | though under a franchise fixing a definite price for future purchasc. | such a provision is absolutely vital ‘to the city’s interests. 10. FARES AND TRANSFERS. I have left the question of fares | until almost the last, because I be- lieve that a franchise should first lay down the requirements of serv- ice and prescribe the general finan- cial policy before attempting to fix fareS. The rate schedule is the preduct—the result reached by put- ting the other factors together. Serv- ice and ultimate municipal control of the streets are of first importance. Whatever these things cost will have to be paid, either out of fares or out of taxes. | The St. Louis ordinance adopts a fixed rate of fares and makes no | provision for changing it, either up _or down, for the next 31 years. Noth- ing can be so illogical as to assume that exactly § cents will represent the fair’ value or the necessary cost | of: the average street car ride for a generation to come. The fare should | be flexible, or else flexibility should 'be given to the financial scheme by | Provision for reduction in the com- pany’s tax and paving burdens or by subsidies from taxation, in case |} the fare proves too low, or for in- creases in the contributions to the city treasury in case the fare proves j}too high. A minor item that ought 'to be provided for, but is not, is the |approval by the proper city author- ities of the transfer schedule worked out by the company to comply with the free transfer provision of the ordinance.

Another defect of the proposed or- 'dinance is that it contains no pro- visions for paying the expenses of the Board of Control. Such a board can- not operate effectively without money. The company is authorized to ac- quire other street railway proper- ties within the city limits, but there is no check upon the price to be paid for them, and it is left uncertain how capital value and the purchase price will be affected by such a trans- action.

So far as this --Ainor-o is concerned, they do not even need to be Mis- souri corporations. 12. CONCLUSION. I think the pending ordinance is not a good one. Among its many serious defects, I will point out by way of summary the following: 1.—It oa and, ed Edward J.

Judge Miller was relieved of ruling on the motion by Prosecuting Attor-' ney Sidener entering a nolle pros ae to Hoffman and Sullivan’: —— Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Wilson then asked permission to amend the complaint as to Miss er man so that ft would..charge her with partial nudity, instead of wediy.

Judg- Miller, however, gave per- mission for the complaint be amended and Sidener and Wilson sect about making it.

As an expert in one of our greatest libraries, the editor of this book has come to know the de- mand for stories to kindle the imag- ination of youth. Halloween and other occasions are incomplete with- out stories and poems of mystery, and here are the world’s best. gath- ered with trained knowledge and great care. There are 26 selections, equally divided between poetry an] prose. Each is by an author of rec- ognized greatness, and many lands are covered by their scenes. They range in time of composition from selections from Scott and Irving, and Poe's incomparable “Gold Bug, which begins the book. to one from Selma Lagerlof, and from: ‘The An- cient Mariner” to “The Admiral’s Ghost,” by Alfred Noyes.

Here | iare the modern favorites too—“Th: Taie of Peter Rabbit’ and “The: Story of Little Black Sambo’’—nel- | ther of which has ever before been included in a collection. The child who is familiar with the old fairy tales, possesses the key to much of the finest § lterature. Poetry, drama and opera have drawr their themes from these old stories. To know them is io know the menar- ing of beautiful allusions, to have a sense of kinship with poetry and art.

The par- ticipants are members of a young women’s college club, getting up a benefit performance, and there are many amusing lines, with some which are commonplace attempts to be funny. This makes the play a!] the truer, for even college club mem-_ bers cannot always be at their most brilliant.

The four counts dismissed charged similar ‘omissions of duty by the Mayor and were quashed on tech- nical grounds. Attorneys for the ‘Mayor askéd that the entire indict- ment be quashed.

Washington bread or “icons pone:” mix white cornmeal with a little salt, and make a batter with cold water. Spread thin on pans, Land bake well. Eat, while hot, with butter. If white meal is not avail- abie, yellow will do very well. This bread was always George, Washing- ton’s principal diet while on the field. * ° * Delicate Steamed Cornbread: One and one-half cups white cornmeal, one cup boiling wa- ter, two tablespoons sugar, one scant teaspoon salt, one and one- half teaspoons baking powder, one- half cupful milk, one tablespoon melted lard. Seald cornmeal with hot water and let stand 10 minutes, add milk to meal,* then the salt, sugar and baking powder that has been mixed together. Last, beat in the lard and stir well, steam in well greased mold, Must be picked apart with two forks and served warm, * *e * Cornmeal Mush: A Vir- ginia editor writes: “All Northern and Western writers tell you to wet the mea! in cold water first, this being done to keep it from lumping, This process ruins the mush for any Southern man. Mush to be fit to eat should start with water boiling till 1t jumps out of the pot, and for a definite reason. The boiling water breaks the par- ticles, the cells, and’ makes the mush palatable and digestible. The other way makes it flat and more or less indigestible.” © * *® Queen of corn breads: Bring pint water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup yellow corn meal and cook a little as you would mush. Turn it into the cake bowl. Add half cup New Orleans cane mo- lasses. Add half teaspoon soda dis- solved in hot water and a little salt. Stir well together and let stand un- yeast dissolved, or cup of prepared sponge. Mix, well with the mush in a bowl, then all the meal you can with a spoon, stirring long and well. Put in bread tin, leaving one- fourth space to rise. Wet spoon in cold water and smooth the sur- face. Place where it will be warm all night. In the morning it wi¥ be light, filling the pan. Bake in oven a little hotter than for wheat bread, and a little longer. Success depends upon the stirring and the amount of flour. If not sucessful first time, keep on trying. LAW POINTS, W. V.

While THE AOUDAD AND THE TAHE. With the addition of an aoudad to the Forest Park family St. Louis may be said to have en- tered the big league of zoological gardens. True the aoudad is only a goat, but such a goat! To begin with the aoudad is Nature’s greatest camoufleur. His whiskers are so long-that he has to hold his head high with hauteur to avoid stepping on the luxuriant foliage. When fright- ened it is easy for him to curl up in his whiskers, thoroughly concealing himself. Though he comes values. Naturally the stock becomes less valu- able to stockholders and a sharp reduction in market quotations follows. At the same time the intrinsic worth of the stock is shown. The values are there and at any time when the Government reduces materially ithe amount it takes for its own the stockholders get the benefit, those who bought at abnor- mally low war quotations as well as those who bought at the higher quotations previously. President Wilson’s clear utterances on our war aims ought to wipe out any misgivings caused by the untimely moanings of Lord Landsowne and his kind. ‘ EXPERT AID ON THE TRACTION PROBLEM. A belated but refreshing sign of restoted sanity in the aldermanic attitude toward the United Railways problem is the unanimous vote of the Public Utilities Committee asking $5000 for the employment of a disinterested expert in fran- chise and traction matters. This step has been repeatedly urged by the Post-Dispatch. The nnsatisfactory results ob- tained by Engineer Smith in so vital a matter as ment alone showed the need for it, but that has been shown at almost every stage of the nego- tiations. The announcement that a new ordinance is to be preparéd is evidence that knowledge that both Ordinance No. 1 and Ordinance No. 2 are dead has penetrated the aldermanic mind. The public has known for some time that both were dead— that both were in effect stock-jobbing measures betraying public to private interests. Chairman Schwartz is right in declaring that disinterested advice is needed ‘to restore public confidence.”. It is needed also to reach practical and permanent solutions for many phases of the complex problem. The six months which it is said will be devoted to drawing the new ordinance is none too much to occupy with attentive study of the question. Much will depend Mm the character and qualifica- tions of the expert selected. Public confidence cannot be restored by a man unworthy of the fullest confidence. If he lacks competence or dis- interestedneags, the fact will become apparent before he has been long engaged on the task. He should be a man of broad observation in the traction requirements and the provision made for meeting them in large American cities, ex- perienced in the practical workings of franchises, immune to the camouflage of pro-utility claims and above all suspicion of service-corporation in- fluence and affiliations. = =] Ss -~- The Provident Association needs $150,000 to take care of the poor of the city.

Sympathy with Mrs. de Saulles, expressed by readers of the Post-Dispatch, is very natural, but what may be called private lynch law cannot be excused because of great wrongs inflicted. Self- defense is the only valid excuse allowed for the taking of human life by an individual, and such’ self-defense must be proved. The taking of human life except when the taker believes his or her own life is endangered by an attack is unjustifiable. There were other courses open to Mrs. de Saulles. She does not appear to have exhausted legal opportunities to obtain complete possession of her child. Her provocation was doubtless great, but her action was a menace to public safety and the verdict of acquittal tends to set up a dangerous precedent. The suggestion it car- ries may lead to other similar tragedies, in which the slayers may be neither young nor attractive. And what will the juries do in these cases? e oo $7500 A YEAR IN TAXICAB GRAFT. Testimony before the Public Service Commis- sion to the effect that preferential treatment at the Union Station throws $50,000 worth of busi- ness annually to one taxicab company is inter- esting, but the point the public is especially con- cerned in is that this company pays nearly $7500 a year for the preference, or 15 per cent of its gross receipts. In other words, because of this preference the public is compelled to pay $7500 in excess of the sum for which the service might otherwise be rendered.

HEN teacher has to punish the worst boy in school for not having his lessor:s learned, what method do you sup- pose she employs these days? She doesn’t stand him in the cor- ner with a dunce cap on his head. She doesn’t seek out vulnerable parts of his anatomy with a rattan stiek. She doesn’t send him for a seance on the Primcipal’s carpet. No. She invokes a system more modern and improved. She FORBIDS him to bring his knitting to school. This method of discipline actually in force in more than one St. Louis schoolroom is but another indication of whither and how far the fascina- tton of knitting is carrying us. Saturday afternoon three shabby, grimy little urchins sitting all un- abashed and oblivious of elders or betters, in the midst of a group of lady knitters at the Red Cross knitting headquarters, Olive and Ninth streets, attracted my at- tention. They were struggling with knittmg needles, which resembled oars in their relative size—and the white twine, or twine that once had been white—which beginners are given to practice with. “Isn't that rather unusual?” I asked. “Oh, no,” replied the instructor. “Most school children learn to kni' at school from their teachers or from one another, but we often have them come to us on Saturdays for whit they suppose fs expert advice.”’ “I don’t have time to stay after echooil to learn,” piped up the littlest in an abused tone of voice. “I nave to get out and sell my papers.” ; HEN I was shown ever and ever so many knitted garments turned in by school children, and it would have strained my eyes to detect any inferior workmanship in them. A strange part of the revela- tion was the that the names of the knitters attached were nearly as often boy’s as girl's. A hot trail led me to the Hogden School, where there was plenty more evidenée that if we girls are not careful the boys are going to beat us at another one of our own games. I did not find Mr. Christy, the prin- cipal, knitting. At first, mar.-like, he was rather inclined to treat the subject as something trivial ‘and ir- relevant. “No knitting is done during school hours,” he declared. “And ncne is done during out-door recreation pe- riods. I won't have it. Neither is knitting allowed to infringe in any way upon school work.” But presently he had ceased rro- testing and was exhibiting to me a bulletin board whereon in lists .1ea1- ed Sweaters, Wristlets, Scarfs, Hel- mets, names were inscribed as upon a roll of honor. He was explaining how the names were of those whose =i work had actually been accepted by the Red Cross. I was observing that boys’ names almost out-numbered girls’ names. And I was being in- vited to remain until school was dis- missed and look in upon the knit- ting class led by Miss Stout and Miss Dunnica, assisted by mothers of the childrén, who often came in to heip out. And I was to learn how fully and well organized is the’ knitting indus- try here. “Tl saw where a great deal of en- ergy and enthusiasm and good wool, as well as a lesson in patriotic serv- ice might be conserved for the bene- fit of our men at the front, by means of a little supervision,” Miss Stout explained. ‘So I obtained the co- eperation of the school patrons’ as sociation and the loan of $260 wita which to pay deposits required by the Red Cross for wool and we be. came a regular knitting branch.

And before the knit- ter is permitted to work with reel Fed Cross wool he .....-- perfect him- self with wool of some color other than the regulation. A good deal of practicing is done on 8-inch Squares, with the result that enough good ones, 70, to make a motley but none ithe jess warm and cozy blanket for some shivering patriot have mate- rialized. “We never have had to encourage the children to knit,” Miss Dunnica told me. ‘Not even the boys. The day after the first lesson one little girl brought a pretty fair sampie she had knit on hat pins for the want of needles. And a boy who Legan with a pair of meat skewers is now a leading knitter, much sought for advice and instruction in his room. I don’t like to admit it,” she added. ‘when knitting has so long been a feminine prerogative, but it is a fact that in speed, enthusiasm, determina- tion, the boys often outdo the girls, and there is no appreciable differ- ence in the quality of their produc- tions.”’ “Indeed, the enthusiasm is so great,”” continued Miss Dunnica, “that we sometimes have to suppress rather than encourage it. But we manage to conserve even over-en- thusiasm as a power for good I use it as a measure of discipline. If a pupil comes to his class with his lesson unprepared, I forbid him to bring his knitting to school. That proves to be a corrective every time.” “RB UT do real sure-enough, rough-shod, two-fisted boys do this knitting?’ I asked anxiously, inspecting a beautifully smooth sweater just being completed. “Come forward, Roy, this is your sweater,’ was Miss Dunnica’s re- sponse. And a tall red-haired lad, the visual realization of the type I had in mind, stepped forth. He was awkward and shy, and his voice needed filing, but he managed to make it known very positively that his name is on the honor roll four times with two pairs of wristlets and two sweaters to his credit. “The only thing the boys draw the line at is carrying a knitting bag,’ said Miss Dunnica. “At first the: would purchase large, new paper sacks from the grocer in which to carry their ball of yarn. But now I notice they resort to any sort of scheme in the way of camouflage.’’ — “White Lady of the Hohenzollerns” Always Foretells Evil in Germany the present war has revived the fearsome tales of the “White Lady of the Hohen- zollerns,”’ the private ghost of the German imperial family, whose vis- itations always augur impending ill fortune. This spook of ill omen ts said to have paid her last visit to earth 82 years ago, and the death of the sister of King Frederick I of Wurttemberg immediately followed. The “White Lady” of the Hohenzol- lerns does not confine her missions as bearer of bad tidings to the 2m- bers of the imperial house, but also warns Germany's foes of impending evil. It is declared that she called on Napoleon while he was quartered in the palace at Bayreuth, shor'ly before he set out upon hfs ill-fated Russian expedition. The legend of the Prussian “White Lady” dates back six centuries or more. The original ‘““White Lady” is said to have been a beautiful Count- ess of Bayreuth, who, when a widow with two children, formed an Irreg- ular alliance with a Hohenzollern Prince. At length she appealed to him to marry her, but he replied that two people stood in the way and made their union impossible. He referred to his parents, but she nis- understood and, thinking her chil- dren were the obstacles, murdered them. This deed was so shocking to the Prince that he refused hencc- forth to see his mistress, who died of a broken heart. Thereafter ihe shade of the woman haunted the A MONG superstitious persons appearing before some fil was to be- fall the family, or the enemies of the family. Vicomte d’Arlincourt, in his “Le Pelerin,” tells of a conversation he had with the Prince of Montfort, in which the latter told of the last ap- pearance of the “White Lady.” The Vicomte quotes the Prince as fay- ing: “My mother, sister to King Fred- erick I of Wurttemberg, lay il! at Lausanne, but was not supposed to be in a serious condition. The doc- palaces of the Hohenzollerns, always: tors reassured us, so we were not worried. One night in the ancient castle of the Duke of Wurttemberg I was awakened from sleep by a loud noise as of someone vier | about the room. The White Lady had come along a gallery, had passed the sentinels, who were frozen with fear, and had knocked at my ‘cor.

WALKER. | The Tiger and The Prince Part Il HE party of hunters proved to T be the Prince and his serv- ants, and it was the Prince wha shot at the poor tiger. When he came up to the tiger on the ground he gave a cry of alarm, for he looked upon the pale face of Nina instead of a savage tiger. Because he was so sorry for what he had done the Prince leaned over and kissed Nina on the brow. Before the eyes of the astonished Prince and his servants the tiger skin changed and Nina’s clothes appeared in place of it. When she opened her eyes she saw tke handsome face of the Prince bending over her and the tiger skin gone. “Oh, you have saved me!” she said. “You have saved me from a terrible fate. If only I could find out where my brother and ail the men of the village are.”’ “Tell me about it and see if i can help you,” said the Prince. Nina told her story and how she had bathed in the pool which she was sure had saved her from be- coming wholly a tiger and from hav- ing been killed by the shot he had fired. “We will all bathe in the pool,” said the Prince, “and then we wil. go to the cave of the old witch.” The old witch sat by her cave door waiting for them, for the trees had told her someone was in the forest. When she saw the richly dressed servants and the Princre—they had left Nina behind a tree some dis- tance away—the old witch hobbled toward them, bowing as she came “Good and pretty gentlemen, give gold to a poor old woman, I pray you,” she said in a whining voice. “T ought to give you a beating for all the: suffering your wicked power has caused,” said the Prince. “Where are the young men you have kept in the forest?’’ Whén the old witch heard this she grew very angry and her rage was terrible to see. “You shall join them, miserable creatures,’’ she screamed, waving her cane over her head. saying as she did so: As the gold thou wilt not give, By magic power thou shalt not live; Into rocks you all shall turn, |And thus my magic power learn.” rocks as the old witch had exvected the Prince and his servants stood before her as they had when they rode up, and with a scream of fear she ran into her cave, for she knew they had bathed in the magic pool, which resisted her power. The Prince and his men hurried after her, but not before she had lifted a stone from the floor of the cave and dropped through it. The cave was as big as the moun- tain, and all around it stood big rocks. The most curious part was that all the rocks had the feet .of ‘men. “Why, don’t you see what has happened?’’ Nina asked. “These rocks are the young men of my village that the old witch changed into rocks. They all must have waded in the magic pool, for their feet could not be changed.” “Then, the only thing for us to do is to bathe the rocks in the magic pool,” said the Prince. “And as we cannct take all these big rocks to the pool, we will have to bring the water here in buckets.” RB UT instead of «turning into night the Prince and his servants worked by bringing the magic water and throwing it over the rocks which stood about the cave of the old witch, and one by one the young stood before them and helped to bring the water for their comrades. When the Prince found that Nina did not have a sweetheart among the young peasants he told her he loved her and wanted to make her his wife. So Nina became a Princesy So all the rest of the day and Sayings of Mrs. Solomon BY HELEN ROWLAND AST thou a little CENSOR in thy home? . Then hearken,‘my Daughter, unto the parable of the wielevni’ learned-better, that the days of thy honeymoon may be long in the Land. Now, there dwelt a Bride in Babylon whose middle name was “Unso- phisticated.” For she was simpler than a Hoover Menu and more innocent that a fruit punch. And lo, whenever she donned a new gown or changed ih doing of her hair, she held her breath until her Beloved had observed it and yan judgment thereon. And if he observed it NOT she was filled with bitterness and woe, and tears and reproaches and lamentations. : And his whole dinner was RUINED thereby, and his coat lapel cov- ered with brine and rice powder. Now, it came to pass, after three years, that her Beloved died, and she took unto herself, in time, another husband. But her simplicity had departed and she was now Mrs. Wisenheimer, and her ways were darker than a German spy’s and her middle name was “Close-Mouth.,”’ For behold, when she purchased a new gown or saw fit to add AN- OTHER hat to her collection, she hastened straightway to secrete it in the darkest corner of her closet, where his eyes might not fall upon it. when they were in public and he was restrained from expressias A ND not for many moons did she SPRING it upon him, and then only his opinion. And if he whispered to her, saying: “Great Scott! Another headpiece?” She answered him witheringly, saying: . “Oh, THIS thing! Why, I’ve had it for AGES!” But if he failed to observe it she said “Thank heaven!” and was mightily content.. For out of her folly she had come to know wisdom, and out of her experience she had discovered that a man observeth his wife’s raiment ONLY in order to criticise it, and that nothing she weareth is “quite right.” For if it is not too long it is too short, and if it is not too grand- motherly it is too girlish. If it is not too prudish it is too extreme, and if it is not too we maidish it is too loud. Or it doesn’t fit in the back. Or there is a button off somewhere. Or it doesn’t look serviceable. Or it doesn’t look “the part.” Or it isn’t her “style.” Or it is too EXPENSIVE. Or she hath been “gyped” by the modiste, or “stung” by the milliner, or “jollied’”’ by the shoe clerk... For in a married man’s lexicon there is no such word as “Perfect,” and in his opinion no such thing as a “Bargain.” Verily, verily, the highest compliment which any man can pay his wife’s clothes is NOT to notice them! For a little Sartorial Censor is a terrible thing! Selah. a eR ene OO rR er 7 | - Animals That Practice Camouflage HIS deceptive art called cam- - ouflage is so new in its high- er development that all the world is talking about it. But Brother Fox and Mr. Wolf must laugh at we faltering humans, for camouflage is an old story in the kingdom of the animals. Nature herself helps the wild creatures to disguise themselves from their enemies. The _ tiger’s stripes make his yellow coat less per- ceptible in a jungle, and enable him to slip about unnoticed. The ptar- migan is a bird of the cold zone which changes its plumage to white when winter arrives and so blends with the landscape. But it is among insects that cam- ouflage most often is seen. And it is not wholly the processes of nature that enable many insects to conceal themselves. The humble katydid is aware that his wings look much like a leaf, and when he finds himself in a dangerous position he will extend his wings and lay still upon the ground. In descending from a tree or bush the katydid extends his wings and falls downward in a zig- zag fashion, just as a leaf would fall. Many kinds of butterflies have wings nw en een they are invistble when at rest upon a tree. There is an insect in Java popular- |} ly called the “walking leaf” because | of its truly surprising resemblance to a leaf. This creature’s wings are like an animated leaf. But of all the creatures which) is the most successful, for it has the power of changing its color to any background against which it may find itself. So at one moment it may be red and the next green. Such are the mysteries of nature. Somewhere in. Maine. IPLOMACY is essential, even in ' @ country station-master.
