OLIvER's THREE GIFTS.
A Very Modern Fairy story.


It was on a bright morning early IN June
that Oliver Westinghouse left his home
in Thomaston, Conn, to geek his fortune.
His mother. poor woman, had nothing to
give him but her blessing and three
nickels for pocket pieces.
GO. my son." she said, "and remember
that, although kind words butter no pars-
nips. they make your going easier"
Oliver thanked her and kissed her and
set forth. He paused at the front gate
to say: III / am not back by Saturday
with a fortune. It will be because all the
fairies are dead"
His mother who was blessed with
sense of humor said in return: "Then
III prepare dinner for but one next Sun
day" and with fearful smile she waved
him a goodbye.
This was on Monday morning and the
boy journeyed along with a light heart.

He had not gone for before he came upon

very well at coort. and the King and him
used to have very great yarns together en-
tirely. At length a great war broke on,
betwixt France and Roochia, and the King
of France was in great trouble, for the
Rooshins were Strengthening and conquer

to the King one day: Il wish / had only

the thankful man TO Jack for this good
action. and said he never could forget 1t
to him. After that Jack got into great
favor at Coort, and used to have long
chats with the Queen herself But Jack
soon found that he never could come into
the Queens presence that he didn't put
her in tears. He axer her one day what
was the meaning of this, and she told him

DROLLERIES OF DONEGAL.
The queen of the Golden Mines.
by sUEMAs MacMANUs.

,-opvrrzht 1899, by the S. S. Mcclure COP
once on a time there was King of Ire
land. and he had three sons, Teddy Billy
ana Jack Teddy and Billy were the two
eldest. and they were brave, able boys.
Bgt Jack was the youngest, a gauchy,
,dlwnee sort of lad that was good for
lotaing only feeding fowls and doing odd
turns about the house. When they grew
up TO be men Teddy and Billy one day
saj4 they'd go away to travel and see the
world, for they'd be good-ror-nothing ON
adhauns if they'd stay here all their
lives. Their father said that was good,
so off the both of them started. And that
ulsat when they haulted from their trav-
eng who does they see coming up after
them but Jack, for it seems he commenced
10 think long when he found them gone,
ami ne was that lonesome that he couldn't
stay behind them And there he was
dressed in his Old tattered clothes, a spec
tacle for the world, and a disgrace for
them, for, of course, they were done off
with the best of everything -rai.e jIntle-
men, as becomed their fathers sons"
They said to themselves they'd be long
sorry 10 let that picthur with them-for
h. was a picthur, and no doubt of ito be
an upcast to them wherever they'd go.
So before they started on again, next
mOrnng they tied Jack to a milestone
and left him there. That night again
when they went to stop from their travel
ing what would you have it but there was
me brave Jack once more, not a hundred
parches behind them, and he dragging the
milestone after him. Teddy and Billy said
this was too bad entirely, and the next
day before they started again, they tied
another milestone to him, and they said:
Well yOu'll not get away from here in a
hurry anyhow. boy" SO on they went
again on their journey, laughing and
cracking jokes, and telling passages to
pass the time; but that night again when
they went to stop from their Journey 10
and behold We, who does they see coming
tearing after them but my poor Jack
once more, with two millstOnes dragging
behind him. Then they were in a guam
diary entirely, and they begun 10 con-
s'der what was best to do with him. for
they saw there was no holdin' or tyin Of
him. or keepin him back at all. at all,
for if there were to tie him to a mountain
IN the mornin' he'd be after them with
the mountain rafting ut his heels again
