before her jailer could prevent her, the

and was about to resort to some of her mag

when the water, at the command of the
nymph, again arose, and, filling the hut,
drowned the wicked witch, and the country
was ever after freed from its terror of her.
Of course, the farmer and the miller never
renewed their quarrel They once more be-

were, as before, constant playmates They
loved best to spend their play hours on the
shore of the millpond, where the water
nymph would often join in their sports.
When the year had passed, and the time
came when the little water sprite was to re-

rwRTrTENFon THE prsrArcH.,

A farmer and miller once had aviolent
quarrel, and although they had formerly
been good neighbors, and their lands Joined.
they became the bitterest enemies, and each
wished to injure the other. Conrad, the
farmers soH, and Martha, the miller's
daughter, had been friends and playmates;
but now on account of the strifeIbetween the
two fathers the children were not allowed
20 meet nor to play together. As Conrad
walked in the field with his mother, he
said:
'It is such long time since have eeeen
Martha Why does my father forbid me to
20 to her house,"
HBecause, - replied the mother, ''the mil
Ter is an evil man, and has done us great
wrong"
''But surely, L can play down BY the mill
pond, said the boy, and if Martha is
there, I need not go to the miller's house"
The farmers wife frowned and said:
''Do not go near the mill pond, or the wa
Ter nymph, who lives there will surely
carry you to her home under the water"
These words did not frighten Conrad; for
he had heard that water sprites had very
beautiful homes, and many treasures were
to be seen under the waves. So the boy,
who was usually obdient, thought:
''If l cannot play with Martha, shall 60
to the mill pond aud watch for the water
nymph, who perhaps will tell me how can
gain my fathers permission to 60 to the
miller's"
Little Martha, too, was very lonely with
ont her friend and playmate, and thought
her parents very cruel because they would
not allow her to run across the wheat field
TO Conrad's home.
One night the water nymph, who lived in
the miller's pond, came from her beautiful
palace under the water to the surface of the
stream But instead of dancing over the
waves, as was her custom, the little sprite

daughter to my little howell A fine time
they will have searching for their children.
If the smoke from the burning wheat smoth-
ers the little girl shall not care
just at that moment the miller and his
| wife came to the shore and began calling for
their daughter. The old witch disappeared,
and the nymph hid among the willows, but
she could hear every word that was said,
and her heart was so touched at the grief of
the parents over their lost child that she
hurried to the palace, and cried:
Conrad, haste to the miller, and tell him
that the wheat witch has taken his daughter
and carried her to her howell
Conrad, anxious to rescue his little friend,
lost no time in making his way to the shore.
Here he found not only the miller and his
| wife, but also his father and mother, who in
great distress were searching for their son.
The boy had hardly repeated the nymph's
message when great cloud of smoke arose
from the field and the wheat was all ablaze.
The little nymph, peering above the waves,
also saw the flames, and knew how soon the
smoke might fill the witch's hovel and suf.
focate the little girl who had been carried
there. Then she cried in pleading tones:
Dear water, in which I have lived so
long, you have always been kind to me, now
show kindness to others. Rise above the
shore, haste to the wheat field and destroy
the cruel flames"
The water needed her entreaties and rose,
Az first slowly, then faster and faster until
it reached and extilguished the flames
which were rapidly spreading over the
field. For long time the neighbors, for
getful of their quarrel, sought in vain for
the witch's howell Then the nymph, un-
mindful of her fathers command not to
leave the pond, sprang out of the water and
running across the field offered to lead the
way to the miserable home of the witch.
When they arrived there they found the
hideous old woman cooking some bad
smelling broth over q wood fire, and in
dark corner sat little Martha, too
frightened to move But when she

"For having saved my child, doctor, want
to present you with this purse"
"But," said the physician, after an em-
barrassing pause, 81 have sent you bill
for $780,
The lady flushed, then said, quietly:
sLet me have the purse, please"
She took two 500 bills out of It and re-
turned it to him, with the remork: 'There
sre $500 in there now, so your bill is paid"
and left the room.

Owls were made out On peanuts bv
putting in two black pins for eyes, the
pins pro jec ting below the feet, so they
could be stuck on the branches.
Perhaps you could succeed with pop
corn Tails better than did, ours would
not stick together, and we were much
disappointed. We had some little tiny
japanese parasols among our knfck-
knacks, and some small pictures, and
there were also fastened on to this re-
markable tree some little bits of flags;
you can get quite q roll of them for ten
cents, and they were very snowy.
But the prettiest Of all were the
acrvstallized ornament" First made
some small baskets of annealed wire,
and wound them very profusely with
bright-colored zephyr; the rose-colored
and light green proved to be the pretti-
est, also one that l wound in shaded
green, with little dots Of red-but the
light blue and lemon-cOlored were not to
be despised. Then l procured five
pounds of alum and large stone crock,
and made hot solution Of alum and
put in the crock-aid q stick across the
top and suspended my baskets, one at
time, in the hot alum water, leaving
them about twelve hours undisturted.
Sometimes had better success than
others, but generally they looked like
the most luscious French candy when
taken out as the color o. the zephyr
showed through the frOSting. Then l
hung the basket up to dry, reheated the
solution, sometimes making it stronger.

the candles were lighted, how everything
did sparkle! And so We had our "frost-
work and icicles," even though we live
in Southern climate.
Our way Of mounting the tree proved
very substantial and strong: Two pieces
of scantling, six feet long and two
inches by four, were mOrticed and put
together in the form of a cross At the
point where they crossed. the tree was
fastened upright by being nailed on
with long spikes. Four braces were
then added, making the whole very
strong. Laying stout brown paper un-
derneath we covered the boards from
sight with quantities of gray moss and
trailing vines. and sprinkled all we'll
with the watering pot, as precaution
against fire, should any ornament blaze
up and fall.
When the curtains were pulled aside,
and "our tree" stood reveal ed to ali the
eager and exEectant little people, it was
truly beautiful sight.

Cruel Snort.

A Western paper tells story
whice doubtless seems very funny out
there where Indians are hated worse
than dogs-of North Dakota Indian
who recently received large sum of
money, and who, accepting and act
ing on the advice of prOfessed friends
among the white men, invested three
or four hundred dollars in a beautiful
hearse, which livery stable keeper,
anxious to be rid of bad bargain, in
duced him to buy for a family car
riage, assuring him that it was the
latest style among wealthy people in
the East. Every day now, when
the weather is fine, he bitches pair
of big-bellied ponies up to his hearse,
mounts the seat and drives away in
great style, with his squaw and pap
pooses squatting, uncomfortable but
happy, inside. This is said to Occa-
sion ''howls of laughter" from the
people Of the town when they see the
ridiculous equipage go by. Western
ideas of humOr are sufficiently loud
and grOtesque at all times, but this,
with it's shading Of cruel sport, is as
bad an example as has been noted
lately. II the Western white civiliza-
tiOn were really so much superior to
that of the red man, it would take
more pleasure in trying to educate
him, and less in trying to make him
heartless and cruel laughing stock.
