An old story tells that when Jupiter
was solemnized with great splendor.
A feast was given to which all the
gods were invited. Many princes and
fine mobiles OF the. earth were invited
also.
Among the rest came q Persian
prince named Chrysalus. He was
"rich in golden attire, in gay robes,
and with majestical presence" He
was attended by train of gorgeously
dressed followers. lords and knights
and fine gentlemen. But with all his
state and riches, Chrysalus was but a
foolish fellow, with an empty head
and a silly speech. And it Is very
likely that the ostentatious parade of
his rank and possessions only served
to make the fact of his lack of wit
moro apparent and more absurd.
Seeing o prince como In such pomp
and state, an the gods rose to do him
honor. They fastened to give him a
lofty seat and to welcome him In
their midst. But Jupiter, who was,
no doubt, a man Of fine perceptions,
no sooner looked at him than he
perceived that he was q light, phan-
tastic, idle fellow" In his wrath that
such q man should be found In such a
high place, Jupiter suddenly turned
him and all his proud followers into
butterflies, and condemned them to
rove about forever amusing them
selves, but fulfilling no good purpose.
"And SO they continue still, row.
ing about in pied coats, and are
called Chrysalides by the wiser sort
OF men - that IL golden outsides !;
drones, and things OF no WORTH"

odd Beiiefs or Children.

The superstitions of children at the
South as used in their little games,
telling fortunes" etc, are very In
teresting. For instance, in some parts
OF the South In the game OF tag" IL
the boy or girl giving the "tag" Is
quick enough to say, ficky, ttcky,

that girl or boy is under "spell I"

time specified, after which the
"spell is of.
In making a wish which they are
anxious to have come true they pick
up stone that Is imbedded in the
ground, spit on the under side and re-
place it, being careful to replace 1t just
as 1t was; by so doing they think they
will "get their wish" The same
method is used for curing toothache,
but first the gum around the tooth is
pricked until it bleeds. Warts also
are removed In this way. They believe
that tooth that is extracted should
always be buried; otherwise the COM
ing one will be dogs tooth.

ALL TROUBLE ENDED.



Di0srencss Between the "Big Three" and
the Small Packers Removed.
CHICAGO, June 13.--By action taken
yesterday, all the differences previously
existing between the Chicago junction
railways and Union Stock Yards Com
pany, Armour, Swift q Morris, constitu-
ting the "Big Three, and the faction to
bs known In history as the small packers,
have been healed.
e,000,0 900 In stock promised them by the
stock Yards Company, objections prev
iously entered by the small packers being
removed. The latter, banded together in
this as In other matters, will receive from
the Union Stock Yards stock TO the
amount of their value to the yards, pro
rated on the basis of the agreement with
the "Big Three" In other words, II is
plants Of Armour, swift & Morris, with
the profits accruing therefrom.
Therefore IL II worth as much to retain
the small packers as their business is
worth comparing TO that of the "Big
Three" the 8, ,000, 900 paid the latter be-
ing taken a. the unit. All the plants OF
all the packers will remain at the Union
Yards. The use of either the Tolleston
ths near future for stock yards or pack
mg purposes will be determined by con-
certcd action on the part OF the three
sides of the triangle, TO which the Union
YaRds and the barmonixed packers, big
and little, can now be linked.
The deal IL closed, the papers signed,
sealed and delivered and nothing re.
mains 10 be done but TO rate the value OF
the small packers TO the Union Yards,
and pay the money.

Easter In Russia Is the greatest fes-
tival OF the year, and since all things
Russian are fashionable, we might
for the time imagine ourselves SUBJ
jects OF the car and make our Easter
as festive as possible. Russian
Christmas presents are as nothing
compared to those given at Easter.
Eggs are, ofcourse, the principal fea-
ture, and not till one has seen the
Easter bazar In the Gostinoi door
and the shops on the Nevsky Pros

and dalntlness OF Easter productions.
Fortunes In trinkets, laces, and Jew

A Strange Pet.

II may be safely stated that Astoria Is
the only city in the world that can boast
OF a tame sea lion. During the fishing
season OF last year a fisherman named
Pete Andrews, employed by Devlin's can
merry, in making his haul, brought to the
surface baby sea lion in the net. The
little creature was so helpless and bleated
no plaintively that the fisherman, taking
pity, brought it ashore with him. During
the winter 1t was fed, and became greatly
attached to its master. This season the
young sea lion is allowed to accompany
the boat and follows, swimming along
astern, even as dog will follow his mas
ter. When the net Is hauled in the ami
NAL will come alongside and bark until II
receives the allowance Of fish which the
fisherman makes practice of giving 10 at
every haul. 1t is certainly a unique pet

"No," she responded sharply, I'VE

HAVE YOU KNOWN HER. READER

The Plain Tale OF an Everyday
Drudge, Who Lived and Died.
This is not much of a story, as this
world goes, for IL is the plain tale of the
life and reward of the Woman who
Worked.
Just plain, old fashioned woman, who
married long before the war, who brought
up a large family of children In a few
small rooms, in a mean house, and who
never got beyond the narrow duties OF the
passing day.
With her it was pinch, scrape and
worry, year after year.
She never had a new dress.
She never went anywhere.
She knew no one. She had no friends
in particular. Her life was passed in the
midst of her children. She wore her hair
straight. Such thing as fashion jour-
nal was to her unknown. She had that
old black dress. How many times was it
made over!
When spring came and she needed q
new bonnet, with woman's ingenuity, she
went to her old patch bag-these old
fashioned women all have them-takIng
this and that, bit of wire shape here, q
feather there, and, with dexterous touch,
fashioning the same into the hat she was
to wear till the snow flew in the early
winter.
For she was the Woman who Worked.
She saved the pennies to make the dol
lars. She used to say of the children:
"The oldest boy will be an artist; the
next will be lawyer; the third will be a
doctor. BY and by they will be grown up
and then they will be such consolation
to me-"
And the years went by, and the Woman
who Worked grew old; her children
passed from babyhood to childhood; |;
then, one day, they were children no
more; the time was nearly here now.
The Woman who Worked, her harvest
was near at hand.
There was Tom, who was to be the
artist. All, yesl he ran away and left
her, but she forgave him then and there.
There was Bob, who was to be the law
yer. Whiskey got the better OF him; but
when he use to come home nights and
abuse her, she cried in secret and prayed
God that the light would come to him at
last.
There was Henry, who was her hope OF
hopes, he who was to be the doctor. 1t
was a hard day he became infatuated with
the variety actress and threw himself
away on her; yet the Woman who Worked
was the first to forgive.
One day she died, and the boys quar-
relied over her money. 1t was as II she had
never lived, as IL her long life of good, her
kindly influences had all been sunk in the
sea.
But It was not so.
For, even though her children were un-
grateful, though there had been but few
sunbeams in her life, though she lived
and died drudge, when they came to lay
her away where the woodbine twineth
the cross over her grave, like the shadow
of the unseen hand, pointed skyward In
mute appeal, denied Of men, beckoning
toward place where the Requirement,
sought in vain here on earth, would be
realized for her by one whose kindness
and justice and mercy are beyond the
dreams of fmen-God.-Once A Week.
