The fairies say that a long time flgn thi* dandelion did not have a yel low blossom or tho fluffy white cap it wears after the yellow lias hern taken Off. They tell the story that one night a long time ago, while they were holding one of their revels in a field, sounds oi weeping and moaning were heard Th fairy queen stopped the dance nnd listened. “It comes from the ground,'* she said, “down among the grasses. Hurry, all of you, find out who is In trouble and come back and tell me." Away went the fairies Into the fields nnd gardens nnd lanes. Darting In and out among the blades of grass, they found queer-looking weeds with leaves resembling a lion's tooth. They were crying and chanting a singsong time: Here we grow so bright nnd green. The color of grass and can't be seen, oh, bitter woe. but wo'll not stop Till the fairies give us a yellow top. Hack flew' the fairies to their queen and told her what they had heard. ‘No,’*'**." thfty cried . "If only they had asked for some other color," she said; "there are so many yellow blossoms now. The but tercup, the golden glow, nnd the gold enrod, will all ho jealous If another yellow flower enters their bright cir cle. do buck and ask them If they will be quiet If we gl\> them a w hite top." » The fairies danced away to the cry ing dandelions with the queen's mu sage. "The queen will give you a whit# top!" they cried. No. no!" tlicr cried. "Yellow Is the color wo should wear with our green leaves; it Is the color of the sun and we wish to he us near like him as we sun." and they ail began to cry: Oh, bitter woe. we will not stop. Till the fairies give us a yellow top. They made such a noise that the fairies put their fingers In their ears as they flew hack to the queen. The glass blades stood up higher and looked about. “Do quiet those noisy weeds," they said to the queen: give them the yellow top for which they arc crying and let us go to sleep. We have been kept awake since sun set. and It will soon he sunrise,” "W hat shall we do?" said the queen. "I do not know where to get the yel low they want." ’lf we could get some sunbeams," said one fairy, "we should have Just the color they are crying for. Of course, we cannot venture Into such a strong light, tmt the Elves might gather them for us." twj they went to the Elves and asked them to gather the sunbeams for the next day. and bring them to the valley the next night. The Elves were very willing to help them, but the sun shone very tittle the next day, and they Were able to gather only a few bucketsful of the bright golden color When the queen saw the quantity, she was In des|>air. "This will never go around," she said, "and those that sre left without a yellow top will cry louder than ever." "Why not divide It among them," said one fairy. "It will last for a little while, and we can give them our fluf fy w* ite caps when that is gone. We shall lake them off soon, and the dan delions can wear them the rest of the season.” Tho face of the queen brightened. "The very thing,” she said, “if only the noisy little weeds will agree. Go to them and say they can wear yellow of the very shade they most desire, half the season if they are willing to accept our fluffy white caps for the other half.” Tho fairies hurried to the dandeli ons and told them what the queen had said. The dandelions stopped crying and said they would be satisfied, and tho queen rode through the meadows, fields, gnrdens. nnd lanes, dropping gold upon each weed as she passed along. In tile morning when the sun beheld his own bright color looking up at him. he was so surprised that he almost stood still. The fairies kept their promise, and when It was time to tske off their fluffy white caps, they went among the dandelions and hung a cap on each stem. The dandelions did not cry again, nnd the grass sleeps on from sunrise to sunset, undisturbed. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)

Jommy was always glad to go to the store for hts mother and took the basket and hopped away down the the cart path. He got the flies and the big beetle and tucked them into the basket and started for home. An he hopped along he thought how good those flies would taste. AH at once he looked up and saw that he was not In the carl path. He hail never been here before and he didn't know where he was. Vs he stood wondering which way to turn, he heard something say. "Ilonk, Honk," and he had Just time to hop one side when a big black thing with smoke coin ing out front the back rushed by. Goodness, w hat if he hadn't hop ped. where would he be now?

AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. 1 [> | lfM f! jlf | a m\ I! I As Toni was leaving the hospital, after visiting Jennie, and being as sured everything was all right, he met the man who had been waiting in the recepMon room. The man was all smiles, but his happiness was not any greater than Tom's. As thev rode downtown together they talked of many things. Tom told him lie was working with one idea foremost al ways. which was to have eventually a business of his own. “1 did that very thing myself, about five years ago.” hald the man, “I got awfully tired of working for other people, saved all the money I could and start ed In business (or myself, until now 1 have things running pretty well. In fact, it has grown to such an extent tlint 1 need someone to help me look alter things; in other words, a part ner that 1 can trust 1 don't know why, but I took a liking to you up there at the hospital and perhaps vou would consider mv proposition.' It “ARRANT ROT” (Florence Times.) One often hears the remark that the opposition of "the press” was re al onsiblo for the nomination of Bleaae two years ago. That Is arrant rot, of course. The man who hadn't a better reason than that is nothing more than an idiot of a knave. As A matter of fact such a reason Is rot'nlng more than a very lame ex cuse. The man who makes it slntplv hasn't the courage to give the right reason which is that he really cast his vote for the man of his prefer ence. MONEY FOR THE FARMERS (Charlotte Observer 1 Mr. John Skelton Williams has made the statement that under the new hanking law the sum of $500,000,- 000 is now in national hanks available for loans on Improved farm lands. The system by which these loans are made possible is one of the best features of the democratic currency law and has been explained in detail In this paper The financial facilities for the farm era have been considerably improved by it. In fact, banking opportunities are now open to them in a way which places them mote on a level with oth er business men than they have ever been, though not on more of a level than they have deserved to be placed. At last Tom was beginning to see “the way out.” won't take any capital on your part. Maybe we could arange that you could start in on a salary and buy into the business by degrees. However, you can think it over and we can meet again.” The man, whose name was Wilson, w-as in the contracting business, and if there w r as ever a chance for a hust ler that was hone3t it was this. Tom thought it all over, and at last was beginning to see “the way out” where the baby, Jennie and he could have a. comfortable little home and happi ness. As Tom thought and thought about it all a little pink (ace constantly ap peared in front of him. "Gee. she looked funny,” thought Tom, "with that little pug nose. Now, if she nad been a boy we could 'have called him Mike, but since she’s a girl, I don’t know what to call her — maybe Jennie does, though."—H. C. To Be Continued. This provision of the reserve hanking act ought to result in a material and immediate Improvement in rural con ditions. NEVER™ AGAIN (Newberry Observer.) The Charleston Post, speaking of the defeat of the bill permitting horse-racing by the Louisiana legisla ture, says that It is "almost inclined to regret.” It for had the bill passed tile racing gang would have gone to New Orleans instead of Charleston. There is no cause for regret; for South Carolina already has a law for oidding horse-racing, and it would be a safe bet that the aggregtion that has defied the laws of South Carolina for two years at "Palmetto Pari;,” near Charleston, will come no more to South Carolina. % Inquisitive Oueet—l suppose you would like to get a Job In a restaurant patronized by millionaires, where you'd get big tip*?
