poet OF an enterprise under the manage
mcnt Of native artists who arc just be-
ginning to practice? The public should
not criticisc too sharply, bat should en-
courage, with a heavy draw on trust

prettily told. 1t is u fairy story. 1t re-

other place and cut up pcacabe farms
if it was not for the awful malice of the
goblin, who don't like the good friar

Another pretty fairy tale tells how
the great, powerful, rich, and once DEM
ocratic goblin, Brawol, is going to en-

G Will then have power to make the good
Y folks in the town pay 81, 900 Jewish shell-
5 els of silver for being drowned, which
: Is worst of all. These delightful stories
. are just out, and will be succeeded by
others of equal interest to the children
$ They are the best fairy stories we ever
n heard. They are better than CULVER,
:, travels. They are for winter evening
2 reading, about Christmas time. An enc
y my Of the publishing house has told III
d that they were published to influence
an election. This is a base slandcr.-
The stories are all moral, and are only
$ for the purpose we have named. Dom
