THE STORY OF
THREE BROTHERS.
Was Not the Youngest Male Cinderella =?

Three brothers lived together in the
home of their fathers, but as there
was no one to take charge of their
house, they grew tired, ard set out one
morning to find companions to live
with them.
Let us shoot cur arrows" the young
est one said, "and from the places
where they fall let us take our fates.'
They all agreed to this, and the eld-
est one first aimed his arrow. 1t fell
upon the house of great lord; and so
he welded the lords daughter.
The second brother now took his turn
his arrow, like his brothers, fell upon
the house of a great man; and he, like
WISE. married the mans daughter.
1t was now the youngest ones turn,
and he drew his bow, and away flew
the arrow, over hill and dale, above the
house-tops and the tree-tops, and he
set out to find it. At last he came up
to it just as it was falling into lake.
This is a strange fate" the boy
thought; and while he stood there mus
ing, gut from the waters leaped frog,
and sitting at his feet, it began to
croak.
This, then, is my destiny! Well! /
am perhaps worthy of no better!" and
taking the frog UP in his hands, he fol-
lowed his brothers home.
When they saw what he had brought,
they were much amused. But the
youngest brother said nothing. He put
his frog by the fireplace, and it sat
there blinking its bright eyes and occa-
sionally croaking in contented way.
So, for a long time, they all lived
happily together. But by and by the
wives of the elder brothers became dis
satisfied, and they continued to bother
their husbands to find a fitting COM
panion for the youngest brother. But
to all their entreties he answered:
This is my destiny. am unworthy
of better

PERSPECTIVE.

In entering, the main staircase pre-
sents an attractive feature. Under the
arch leading from the parlor and hall
and in the hall is a well planned stair
case with two turns; a cozy seat with
arch over it in front Of window. Ris-
ing three steps on the staircase we
ind a window of stained or loaded
glass giving light to the hall and stair
case and also very pleasing effect.
The parlor is bright and cheerful and
has an open fire place, flues for which
answer tor the range in the kitchen,
q room well planned for the require
ments necessary, having a portable
range. with boiler at left side, giving
the sink direct connection with hot
water. The dining room is well lighted
from the side and rear and has an en-
trance to the rear veranda through a
glass door.

This the man did. and while he
waited On the bank, out from the water
came such a team of oxen as had never
been seen before. With them he
ploughed and furrowed all the acres of
the king, and planted the wheat, and
before shutdown the enchanted beasts
had returned to their home in the lake.
When the king saw the impossible
accomplished by the youth, he feared
in his heart. But then. thinking again
of the power he would have if he owned
the fairy, he determined to find more
impossible task. So he said to the
man:
This have you done; but now l COM
mand you to gather up every grain of
wheat that you have sowed and placed
it in my barns. And it must be done
by shutdown tomorrow, else will I have
you slain, and the fairy shall be made
queen"
This task is harder than the other,
and quite impossible" the man said;
and he went home and told his wife
what the king had commanded.
Alas! alas!" she cried. Il warned
you not to burn my frog-skin. / told
you that trouble would come OF it,"
But when she saw the sorrow OF her
husband, again she relented and said:
Pear not: but go ct daybreak to-
morrow. to the lake where ron found

A DUEL TO THE DEATH.

Don't make no mistake on me-" be-
gan the man who had half-twist to
his body and drag to his legs. I'm
no hero of blood or fire or battle, and
I'm not after a government pension
or public sympathy. I've simply been
having few adventures with the
folding bed, and though pretty well
bunged up I am far from being knock
ed out. 1t was three years ago that
the folding bed first folded up on me,
and l made up my mind then and
there to conquer or die. 1t is still
which and 'tother between us, but I'm
net losing any of my grit"
Ever seen anything more lamb-like
and innocent-looking than the folding
bed?' queried the half-twist man of
suspicious man who'd look for any
guile there. Looks like a wardrobe
when it's closed up and it welcomes
you to its embrace when it's down on
its legs. I'd had enc about a month
before anything happened. Nobody
on the face of this earth could have
made me believe that there was any
thing vicious about that piece of, fur
niture. l trusted it from the very first
day. One rainy Sunday afternoon
took off my coat and boots and lay
down for a smoke and a think. /
had just made up my mind that l was
at piece with all mankind when the
world turned upside down with me.
That is, the bed shut up with me and
stood me on my head. What did l do?
Nothing but yell, and the yells were
SO smothered that they sounded like
the yeowls Of cat with a sore throat.
All the ghosts that ever walked at
midnight couldn't have given me such
a scare. | was in room at the top
of the house, and for three mortal
hours that bed held me fast. When
help came | had only spark Of life
left, and it was six months before

men would have chopped up that bed
with an ak and taken to sleeping on
the floor. but | was born 'sot' / ac-
cepted the def and worked the bed
off on secondhand dealer and got

man had sprawled around on it for an
hour to prove that it had no tricks
/ paid his price and had it sent home
In four weeks l was lulled into a feel
ing of perfect security. For thirty
nights l went to bed with the full be-
lief that I'd turn out right end to in
the morning. Then the climax game.
At midnight one night l found myself
standing on my head again, and cuss-
ing before | was half awake Fc-

Gentlemen. I'm not a pig-headed
man nor vicious man, and / never
knowingly hurt a persons feelings in
my life, but l was aroused against the
folding bed. l had been stood on my
-pressed-squeezed- humiiiated-

life had been restored | went back to
that bed l was advised to chain her
to the floor or hang hundred pound
weights to the legs, but | wouldn't do
it. 1t was to be a fair fight and an
even show. What I did do, however,
was to sleep with my head the other
way Only few nights passed when
up went the hind legs again and ! was
banged against the head-board. 1t
didn't take two minutes to right things
from that position. Three times in the
space of year / beat the trick. Then
one night / came home in a mellow
mood, and being off my guard, tum-
bled into the bed with my head the
usual way When they got me out
next morning l was human pan
cake. The bed had shut up on me
and got ahead again. That's the way
things have gone for three long years,
and the fight is still on. I'm twisted
to the left and wobbled to the right;
I'm lop-shouldered. slab-sided and
knee-sprung; my spine is out of plumb
and my ribs out of true Nevertheless
/ am here. and so far as my spirit is
concerned, it is unbroken. I'll stand
up to that folding bed as long as
breath of life is left in my body. ! set
out to conquer, and conquer / will, and
if any of you happen to belong to the
press you need't write me up either
as a martyr or a hero. I'm neither.
It's just duel to the death between a
'sot man and an innocent-looking fold
ing bed, and the public at large have
nothing to do with ii.
