PRANKs OF SCOTTISH FAIRles.
A Firm Belief In the "TAir Folk SAL
TImEerx.

I.inErr--
There still fingers widespread belief
in the north Of Scotland that tine "fair
folk, " or 'gwced nCeborS. - as the fairies
are called, still live in the hills. and
during the fret days Of convalescence q
mother must be zealOusly guarded lest
one Of the "wee people" come and rob
the child of its Dourishment. Some
times they succeed in carrying of the
mother. Here is one Of the superstitious
legends:
A north country fisher had a fine
child. One evening a beggar woman
entered the hut and went up to the
cradle to gaze into the eyes Of the babe.
From that time good health left IL. and
n strange look came into it, face. and
the mother was troubled. An old man
begging for food passed that way. When
he caught sight Of the child. he cried:
THAT $ nae a bairn. It's an image.
and the gweed folk has stoun his
speerit.
Thereupon he set TO work TO recall
the fisher : bairn. A Feat fire was heaped
high ON the hearth and black hen held
over il at such distance that il was
singed and not killed. After some strug-
CLING the hen escaped up the lum. A
few moments elapsed, and then the par
ents were gladdened 10y the sight uf a
happy expression once more ON the
child's face. IL throve from that day
forward. Scottish Review.

Do you know Eaten Up Jake: That

chew so fast, see? Well, Eaten Up got
hold Of a piece of money in Chicago

an he goes off to Cripple Greek an starts
to dealin. De lay out was in a little
frame, pine board joint bouts big's a
dry goods box. Jake gets good play,
you know-took a minute TO settle after
every turn, see? But didn't tell you
bout the knothole. You see, there's a
knOthole in a board right back of the
dealer. Jake, he's in the lookout chair,
see? Jake don't have no clock there,
see, SO nobody minds the daylight, only
it makes the dealer little sleepy, an
Jake. he's kinda dopy.
"Wel, there's tin horn from over
in another joint-a rlugger in the stud
game, see! He blows in an buys two
red checks, waits fer cases, fergits the

see-loses both bets. Then he buys half
n stack of whites an keeps the seat,
playing mostly cases. He keeps his
checks in his hands, an Jake don't keep
cases ON him. Well, he goes broke, but
Jake doesn't know it.
1.-The jacks a case, see, an the sun
lights coming through the knothole
over the dealers shoulder, hits the jack
right in the center, an it looks like a
white check. The jack wins. Dealer
pays a white check on the jack. Tin
horn pushes the sleeper over between
the queen an the king, an it wins
again, see? An, on the level, the guy
win and win, an nothin can stop him.
Five deals afterward he has the check

i can't deal fer you no more. Me

Next day l stake Jake in the poker

Out Of 20 persons whose eyes were test

not altogether understood, hut probably

birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year. Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual Walter
Burke Of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds: These birds in past
years congregated in large numbers in q
little grove near my residence and filled
the air with their melodious singing.
but now it is all hushed and still"
The Livingston Republican says
THE absence Of blucbiris has been
commented ON by several papers, and,
come 20 think Of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage in considerable numbers and oc.

Farm wage. and Profits.

Elk Governor Boies of Iowa says that
he cannot pay the present rate of wages
and make his 3, 800 acre farm pay. He
says that no farmer who has to hire his
help can make money at farming under
the gold standard. Ex-Congressman
Bland says that wages of all kinds will
rise under free coinage.
1t would naturally 5e inferred from
Boies' statement that he wants free
coinage to lower farm wages 70 that the
big farmers a make money out of the
labor of others. BANDS opinion evil
IDENTIFY is that free coinage would be a
good thing for the farm laborer and
therefore, SO far as wages are concerned,
a bad thing for the boss farmers.
The two leading free coinage advo-
Gates should get together. II might also
be well for farmers and ''farmhands''
to investigate these conflicting state
rpopta

free Coinage Plainly stated.

Ii Is important to remember that
free coinage means the right of every
owner Of bullion to present the same TO
the minis of the United States and have
it coined without charge into money.
Under the free coinage of silver, the
owner of 31714 grains Of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over TO
the United States mint and have it
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
right would be extended to the whole
world, and the amount Of silver coinage
would be limited only by the capacity
of mtnts and the output OF the silver
mines.
If / have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and
''the ratio, I" we are now prepared TO dis
ouss understandingly the feasibility of
opening the minis of the United States
to the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer by this country alone at the ratio of
16 to /. For myself, after the most ma
turo elaboration. / have been unable TO
reach any other conclusion than that
such a step would be attended with the
most serious consequences TO the country
and involve ali our people in q common
disaster.
In the first place, the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF silver at I6 to would
in my judgment expel from u circula-
ton not only orr entire volume of gold,
but every dollar of paper money redeem
able in gold and cause a contraction OF
the currency and a resultant panic the
like of which has not been seen in this
generation Senator J. G. Burrows.
