One Continent’s “down” is another Continent’s “up.” The indus tries of Europe are, generally speaking, at a standstill, and matters will be worse be fore they can be better.

The fairy waved her wand a second time and there on the other side of the door was a bush of red roses. "And your third wish,” said the fairy, "what Is that?" "I wish that thdS* might always bloom,” satd Elsa. "It Is granted," Bald the fairy, and she waved her want over th* hushes three times. When the weather began to be cold Elsa thought her roses would stop blooming, and one morning a* she gathered them she said: “You beau ties, 1 shall miss you when the frost and snow come." "Have "You forgotten your wtshV” said a voice. Elsa looked under a rose and there was a fairy. "You wished that your rosebushes might always bloom," said the fairy, “and I granted the wish. You will have roses all the winter.” One day when the snow was on the ground, a beautiful carriage drawn by two black horses stopped before Elsa's house and n young man got out and knocked at the door. “I want to buy your ronebushes," he told Elsa. "1 have never seen such beautiful roses and I have all the dif ferent kinds that are known. But 1 have nono like these. How much mon ey do you want for them?" “Oh. I could not sell my rosebushes," Elsa replied; "Indeed I could not. But 1 will pick you a bunch of their blos soms." “Do you get a Mg price for them?" asked the young man. "You must sell them or you would be willing to sell the hushes to me." "Oh, no, sir." Elsa replied. "I give them to the sick and the old people THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift. WHAT SHALL SCHOOLS DO? “Ja thrift taught In the schools? It ought to bo, but how?" This Is the response made to President S. W. Straus, who recommended in a bulle tin of tho American Society for Thrift that thrift be emphasized in the pub lic schools In the systematic activity and training of the pupils. With the opening of schools the awakened public feeling In regard to the imperative need for thrift teach ing Is expected to make the year of 1914-15 a decided Improvement over the past. C. P. "Briggs, principal of the high school, answers at the request of Mayor W. W. Bennett for the city of Rockford, 111., and at the same time meets the argument that public schools of today are undoing rather than preparing their graduates for their life work. Three hundred pupils of his school “got out and hußtled" during the past summer vacation—did all kinds of work from hod oarrying to office clerking—and the aggregate of their earnings was about $10,500. One of the boys, who had three years' experience In the mental train ing department at the high school, earned $3.60 a day. He started work the day school was dismissed and missed oply one-half day during the summer. Several worked as chauf feurs nnd made about $lO to sl2 a week. One worked on a farm and re turned to school on the opening day with $82.80. Many preferred to work In the open, on advice of their foot ball coach. Some, therefore, went in who cannot get out to enjoy the beau tiful world.” "You give away roses that you might sell anil become rich?" said the young man. "Why, how follsh you are. lam the king's son. Come, sell me these bushes and I will give you any amount you ask." "I will not sell my roses to the king himself," replied Elsa. “You cannot buy them.” The king’s son rode away, and when he reached home he told his father: "She can do more than we can; for she reaches the hearts of the people and ahe thinks mbre of making people happy than having gold for herself." "Make her your wife If she will have' you.” said the king. “There is not another in all my kingdom w'ho is more worthy to be a queen and It will not be long before you are king; I am an old man." So the prince went hack to Elsa and nsked her to marry him. And althouga Elsn became a princess and after a while a queen, rfhc was called by all who knew her "the Lady of the Roses."

HOKE SMITH ENDORSES WORLD-PEACE MOVE Atlanta.—Dispatches from Washing ton state that Senator Hoke Smith, m company with many dignitaries of the government, has indorsed the world peace movement which Is attracting such wide attention. Senator Smith addressed the heads of the movement as follows; *T consent without hesitation to serve on the committee to work for peace In Europe. The destruction of property and life now going on will crush the hopes and opportunities of the peoples of the nations at war for a century to come. The distress and suffering which the war will cause Is not limited to them, it extends to the entire world. May Clod gram that those who have the power to do so will bring peace without delay."

Many of the girls also were busy, inside the home and out of it, and some were able to show creditable vouchers in actual cash. Some work ed in factories, in stores, and others took entire charge of the household affairs, nursed and cared for chil dren. In his letter, forwarded by Mayor Bennett, Mr. Briggs says: "Social workers, parents, educators —all alike have been interested in this data, if we are to judge from the inquiries that have been received. « * « « I do not mean to say that such facts have never been collected before, hut the facts brought out In a very strik ing way that not all of our high school boys and girls are rendered unfit for the active duties of life because they are attending or have attended the high school. You doubtless have read the dastardly criticisms published early in the year of 1912, and wonder ed whether or not we ought to pay out our good money to support such an Institution as our free public schools If all that was said of them was true.

SkEEOTM Stales GETTING EVEN. By Virginia Vale. Once upon a time there were two boys, one of them, named Frank and the other Fred. They both were very fond of base ball and wanted to play on the ball team that had been formed in the vil lage. Fred was a member, but they hadn't asked Frank and he felt angry with them for not doing so. One day as Fred was batting, the ball went flying Into the next field and dropped In front of Frank as he way trying to play ball all by him self He picked the ball up and when he saw that It belonged to the other boys, he threw it toward the pond with all his might, and It dropped Into the water out of sight. “There," he said, "I guess the boys won't play with that ball again and I am glad, they are so mean. They won’t let me play on their team and I can play well If they would give me a rhance." When Fred got home that night he told his father how* Frank had thrown the ball and as he finished he said: "I'll get even with him some way." His father said. "Fred, think It over before you do anything mean. See if you can't get even in a nice way?" The next day Fred said to himself: "I guess 1 won't say anything about the ball. I'll let it go. Perhaps he didn't really mean to throw It In the pond." When the hoy* started to play that night they found that one of the boys could not play. Fred said: "Gee, I believe I'll ask Frank to play." So he called to the boys and said: "What about Flunk's playing? 1-et us try him." Frank could hardly believe that they meant It and when he did he felt ashamed to think he had thrown the ball In the pond. He jotined them and played so well and w's* no nice that they all voted he be made a substitute. The next day when he Jotned them, h« said in n very sheepish tone: "Here's a ball I bought myself. I guess It Is as good as the one 1 threw In the pond." Fred told his father what Frank did about the hall and how glad they were that they had taken him on their ball team.
