house" Cyane's blue eyes glistened with tears. Only Papave remained unmoved
 When the task was finished Papave, in her scarlet silk, quickly entered. Cy- ane, in her blue muslin. had no choice but to follow.
 The floor cracked under their feet, and still more of the precious kernels of corn were shattered out on the wet earth. ... .>-....
 ''Well done," said Papavs proudly. I've are the richest in the land"
 Outside the sun threw its brightest beams over mountain and valley. Sud- denly a frightful flash of lightning dart ed from the clear heavens and struck the sheaf house. A terrible peal of thunder filled the air. Instantly the little house was in flames. The corn cracked in the heat. Countless sparks from the dry stalks sprang into the air. Soon the whole house was one glowing pillar of fire. It was fearful sight.
 From the midst of the flames came the sound of shrieks and of prayers. The prayers from the lips of the gentle Cy- ane; the shrieks-ah, these certainly came from the naughty Papave. But to
 
 we'll succumb.
 The good reapers were not harmed by so much as the singeing of hair. In awestruck silence and almost paralyzed with fear they stood around the burning house. To extinguish the flames was out of the question. Far or near no water could be obtained. To rescue the two unfortunate victims was equally inn possible, for the whole structure was one mass of flame.
 So the reapers stood motionless, with toll hardened hands fast clasped, before this column of fire. Gradually the flames ing away in a dull red glow, until at last little heap of ashes was all that re- mained of the house of sheaves, the Prin- cess Papave and the maid Cyane.
 Deeply impressed the men returned to their work. Only the aged reaper, who had had the courage to warn Papave, be- took himself to the palace, there to re- late to the king and queen the terrible fate of the princess and her companion.
 The broken hearted parents realized too late that their own teaching had en- couraged and fostered the pride and self will which had led their daughter to her de:th.
 The following summer, when the corn stood golden in the field, from out the heap of ashes left lying on the ground sprung beautiful blue flower, the corn flower, most modest of all field blos- sons, fitting type of the gentle, inno- cent Cyane. And near by bloomed the klatchrose, a field poppy, true repre- sentative of the kings daughter, Papave, in her red silk gown. Yes, even the raven black hair and the crown of the princess one may see perpetuated in the flower, while the buds are infolded in a green mantle.
 And as the wind scattered the ashes over all the field soon there grew every where among the stalks of corn the blue corn flower and red field poppy, the type of guilt and innocence, of loving kind ness and of naughty pride. And so to this day may they be seen.-Boston Herald. Translated from the German by Jessie Benjamin Hayes.

CITY HALL EMPLOYEES SALARIES
TO BE REDUCED.
Unnecessary Men to Be Cut on the Pay
roll-Ths Police Force Threatened.
What is Said About the Men.

The bright young men who have
berths in the city hall appeared to be a
trihe downcast yesterday. The major
ity of them lacked that dash and nom
chalance which visitor generally no.
tices. A HERALD reporter made the
rounds yesterday, and found that there
We're few who had not heard of the
proposed cut in salaries. The news of
the contemplated ordinance spread
like wild fire in" official circles.
No one appeared to know any
thing definite, but all looked more
or less glum, and discussed the matter
in all its phases. The reporter hunted
for the report which is to be introduced
at the meeting of the council, but no
one appeared to know very much about
the thunderbolt, except that it would
be hurled on an unsuspecting public on
Monday, and that $40, 1000 a year would
be saved to the city. There will be a
general cut all along the line, but
whether the cut will extend to the sala-
ries of the city fathers the writer know
eth not.
One of the councilmen in conversation
with city hall employee said: I'VE
can get one thousand men to do the
work around the city hall for less money
than is now paid" "That is all right"
answered the city hall man 81 can get
ten thousand councilmen to officiate for
one-half what the councilmen are get
ting"
The rumor about the cut had spread
in police circlessand it was currently re-
ported that twenty officers were TO be
dropped. This story created no little
CONSERVATION in police circles, and
the guardians of the peace will not sleep
very soundly until the agony is over.
Councilman Tufts, in an interview
with HERALD reporter yesterday after
noon, said that he did not desire to be
quoted, as the affair would develop it.
self at the Mondays session of the coun-
Gil. He acknowledged that the council
had been considering the question of re-
trenchment for some time, and that the
cutting down of salaries and reducing
the force of clerks was part of their
plans. He stated that the council was
practically unanimous in the matter,
the only doubtful one being Summer
land, and no one knows how he stands.
Mr.. Tufts expressed himself as more in
favor of reducing the force than of re-
ducing the salaries, but said that both
plans were in contemplation.
Several other councilmen refused to
say anything for publication, but ac-
knowledged the truth of Councilman
Tufts statements.

DED RICES. SUNDAY, JUNE 14TH-
~ The story of Red Rices and the success
thereof is the story of modern merchandising
in contradiction TO the old methods. Necessity
combines with opportunity and the bargains,

our way this week; we must tell you about it.
Marvel not at what we say but come and sde
Behold we have made wonderful deal in bed

here before. All are truly beautiful. Some in
sixteenth and seventeenth century old English

them in a dream. Great cheval, crystal edged
mirrors in solid oak SETS What grand furni
ture the old oak makes-so rich, so solid. Oak
is crowding walnut pretty well to the wall, and
yet walnut makes wonderfully nice furniture.
We have got some as good and modern as you
can get anywhere. Also beautiful sets in ma
hogany and cherry, and other costly woods.
Never in the history of our house have we been
prepared TO do by you as well as now, and
further, we venture the assertion without fear
Of successful contradiction that never before
in the history of this city has such good furni-
ture been sold so cheap as we will sell you these
fine goods this week, for we are prepared to and
are going to sell you new furniture, as good as
was ever put together, absolutely without
blemish and warranted land all to be returned
if not satisfactory, for the price you would
have to pay for secondhand furniture. People
are waking up more and more each day to what
Red Rice and modern merchandising are doing
for them. Many is the thank yous we get. Now,
again, If you will go to any other store on this
coast and buy so good goods as we offer you at
the prices we ask we will eat the goods. Go to
any second hand store. even and buy solid oak
sets at the price we sell you new ones for, If
you can The sets we offer you left the factory
less than two weeks ago. We aim to sell about
all the furniture that is sold for cash
in this burg Let others sell on time,
or drop their prices to meet ours.

with the ever. changing, ever-improving styles
as we do, for we turn our stock over once

The Kilrain-Slavin contest of ten
rounds takes place Tuesday night. The
writer expects Slavin to win inside of
the stipulated number OF rounds,
John L. Sullivan to the contrary
notwithstanding. Slavin is hurricane
fighter, and if he cannot lick Kilrain in
ten rounds the chances are that he can
not whip him at all. The writer
regrets that he is obliged to differ in
opinion with the champion of the world,
but it is notorious fact that
John LIS judgment has been at sea
many the time. Then again, it is good
policy on Sullivan's part to bolster up
the pugilistic ability of men who have
been knocked out by him. This prob
ably accounts for the good send off
John L. gives Kilrain.
