Oats, indeed" said Mary Emma. "Iu
have you understand l never ate an oat in
my life, and, what is more, am not going
to any old stable, either"
Then as soon as they were embarrassed
from the coach she ana her fairy godmother
started to run, but just as they had gone a
few steps they crossed a water pipe full of
running water that led to the palace, and
they Immediately turned into their proper
shapes again. Then the King was furious.
what do you mean" he shouted, by
changing yourselves into something else
when you are the only horses have? never
heard of such conduct! Change yourself
back into horses again at oncen'
81 Will do no such thing" said the fairy
godmother. If you think am going to live
in stable and eat oats, you are very much
mistaken"
"Seize them and cast them into the deepest
dungeonr" cried the King to his army.
The army got ready to seize Them and then
Mary Emma and her fairy godmother We're
frightened almost to death
81 guess maybe we had better change back
to horses after all" said the fairy god
mother.
81 guess maybe we had" said Mary Emma.
So, just as the army was about to seize them,
the fairy godmother waved her wand, but
she did it so absent-mindedly that instead

can get enough for few pennies at any
drug store Half pint is more than enough
for your trick. You can get the piece of
glass from any old broken pane you can
find. A piece three inches long and narrow
enough to enter the tumbler at its widest
part will do.
Fill the tumbler with the lime water and
bring it into the room where your friends
are assembled. Place it upon the table be-
fore them where they can all see it, but do
not allow any of them to taste it, Tell your
friends that the magic properties of your
breath will change the water into milk, and
then breath frequently into the tumbler
stirring it constantly with the piece Of glass.
The perfectly transparent lime water will
assume milky hue, and then as You keep
breathing into it will finally grow white,
closely resembling skinned milk, amid the
applause Of your friends.
Now. you can explain that your magic
breath being combined with the water in
the glass will, in few minutes, produce
chalk. Let the tumbler remain perfectly
quiet for time while you and your COM
panions play some other game, and upon
looking at it later you will find that layer
of real chalk has been deposited in the bot
tom of the glass.

trying that. If fairy godmother with
sugar loaf hat and a long wand does not
appear as soon a you have winked your left
foot three times, then you haven'tany.
Well, one day Mary Emma decided that
she was old enough to 90 out and seek her
fortune, 50 of she went. She had on her
very best frock, nice lunch in her basket.
and she felt sure she was going to find
very nice fortune indeed. She left her
mother stoning cherries on the back porch
and walked on and on and on, until She had
gone farther than she had ever gone before.
After a while she entered a deep forest She
had been quite hot and cross in the sun, hui
it was delightfully."- cool in the forest under
the great trees, and she thought that seek
ing ones fortune was just heaps Of fun.
Mary Emma was going along singing at the
top Of her voice. when all a once she turned
a corner Of the forest and there were three
robbers lying in wait for her My! But she
was frightened, She winked her left foot
three times just as hard as ever she could,
and her fairy godmother appeared rubbing
her eyes and looking very cross, for she
had Just been taking a nice nap when She
had been so suddenly awakened. The rob
bers were just about to rob Mary Emma of
her lunch basket when her fairy godmother
appeared, but as soon as they saw her they
all stepped back few PAGES, clenched their
teeth and said, "Foied!"

CHILD CHAUFFEURS
IN NEW YORK.
-a-<c;;..7sLs=.l.5I- .5I-5sz=gEe>-e--
BY LILLIAN c. PASCHAL.

If you stroll through Central Park one of
these fragrant, sunny afternoons you will
see the heir of the Van Astorbilt millions,
as well as other happy children Of various
ages, trundling their baby automobiles over
the winding ways in victorious competition
with the lesser lights in the goat carriages.
A CLEAN Of red and black, the tiny tinkle
Of silver bell, pair of dancing brown ewes
under flying curls, and dainty little maid
flies past, working the little silver-moupted
lever with all the skill of a trained autoist
Her silent little speeder is somewhat remf-
niScent Of other days when nurse pushed her
charge in u small red sleigh. for, like the
sled, it is curcd over in the front almost
into baby's lap, and it skins along so close
to the ground that the wee cushioned wheels
can hardly be seen. Only now the pushing
power is something more mysterious and
awful than even the most autocratlc nurse
Of childhood days. 1t is the chained light
ming Of the skies, brought down. like some
huge giant Of a slave captured from regions
unknown, docilely to serve the needs of
little child.
Next comes trig little runabout carrying
40mile storage battery and sturdy little
fellow whose excited eyes. rosy cheeks and
tumbled, windblown hair attest his ioy in
the eXhilarating pastime. His broad sailor
hat is pushed back impatieutly from a ten
der, childish brow, and he looks. carriage
and all, with his alert air and businesslike
handling Of his machine, like an exact mini
ature Of his grown-up father in a full
hedged automobile.
You stop him and ask him to wait minnie
while you unsling your camera, during
which minute the usual crowd Of children
gathers to see the pictures taken. But he
dlmpleS shyly and responds while you turn
the inquiring eye of the lens upon him:
Charlie Guenther an l live over there"
pointing with very comprehensive gesture
which embraces half the horizon Of River
side.
How old are yOu?'
"Half-past three, is the prompt reply.
We'll, Charlie, if you tell papa to buy a
paper next sunday you may see yourself
and your electric horse"
Hasn't dot any horse; it's a naughty
mCbee,' he says in wondering reproval of
such ignorance, as he touches the lever and
whirls away.
And you pass on, seeing inner visions Of
the little soap box with wooden wheels that
father fixed up for you on a rainy day long
ago, somewhere in the last century, in the
far-off days. n couple of decades ago, wbsu
you were little girl.
The Worcester spy., 1901-12-08

OF eouzse, you all know that a very great
many years ago all good children had fairy
godmothers. Even if you don't know it, it
write about things say so, and people who
write about things know every single thing
there is to know, especially me-
In those days of which ! write one little
girl named Mary Emma had a fairy god
mother who was very absent-minded. In
deed, she was so absent-minded at times
that she forgot she was a fairy godmother
at all, and so. instead of helping Mary
Emma make her fortune, as, of course, she
should have done she just stayed at home
and kept house Just like any one else. In
fact if it had not been for Mary Emma
herself, the fairy godmother might have
forgotten that she had a goddaughter, but
every once and a while Mary Emma would
wink her left foot three times, which would
Immediately summon the fairy godmother to
her side.
Mary Emma did not want anything at all,
but she was very farseeing little girl and
she knew that some time she might want
something, and if her fairy godmother did
not have some practice she might forget
what it meant when Mary Emma winked
her left foot three times, and never come at
all! By the way, you can always tell whether
or not you have a fairy godmother by just
The Worcester spy., 1901-12-08

was very angry when she found herself mar
messed to the coach and helping her fairy
godmother draw it along the road. Now,
just see what you've done" she cried. Il
do declare you ought to keep your wits about
you more. How are we ever going to get out
Of this?" Just then the Prince of that
country and lot of courtiers came along
riding on oxen, for there were no horses in
that country.
When the Prince saw the two splendid
horses drawing this superb coach along the
road he was delighted. He had never seen
any horses before. but he had seen pictures
of them in his natural history book, and so,
of course, he knew what they were at once.
He got in the coach and drove the horses all
the way to his fathers palace. The horses
were just as angry as they could be, and
they told the Prince he was no gentleman
to make ladies draw him along the road in
coach like that. The Prince said they must
not dare to talk that way to a real prince,
and that they were not ladies, anyway, but
only horses, and that if they didn't behave
themselves and trOt along nicely, he would
hit them with his whip.
"Oh, just you wait till we cross a running
brook, and if l don't change you into a last
years mince pie, you may have my gold
spectacles" said the fairy godmother. The
Prince thought that perhaps there might be
something in that, so he drove them over
roads that did not cross running brooks.
When they came to the palace the King,
the Princes father, was as pleased as he
could be, and said that the Prince was just
the dearest boy that ever lived "You can
have the coach" he said but send the
horses to my stable and give them some
oats"

HOW TO MAKE A PIN ORGAN.

The further the pin is driven into the board
the higher the note it will give out when
touched by the hatpin. You must rely on
your ear in driving the pin various distances
into the board, trying each one after each
few taps of the hammer. You will ind 1t
better TO drive the first pin half way into
the wood, for as some of the notes you will
want will be very low, it will be necessary
to have some of the pins driven in but very
little way.
When you have fnised you can play
tune by simply drawing your hatpin along
the line of pins You can pick out other
pieces easily enough after you have become
accustomed to the various notes the pins
make when struck, and with little prac-
tice you can play almost any simple melody
on your pin organ.
The Worcester spy., 1901-12-08

this, it will greatly develop your ear for
music, and so be Of lasting benefit to you.
Take a soft pine board about three feet
long and one foot wide and make a heavy
line down the center in lead pencil Get
box Of large pins and light hammer, and
your equipment is complete. Drive the pins
in the board along the line down the center
having the pins about one-quarter Of an
inch apart. When the line is full of pins
you are ready to tune your organ.
Take long pin, a hatpin. for instance,
and with its point bend slightly the first pin
on the line. Then let it fly back, and you will
find that it will give out a distinct musical
note. Now you must decide what tune you
want to play on your organ. When you have
selected your tune you can go ahead.
The Worcester spy., 1901-12-08

No doubt many OF our readers are accom-
plished musicians, and play beautifully on
the piano, violin. banjo or other musical in
struments. OF course, almost all Of our
little friends can sing, and do sing. too, at
school and Sunday school, and we feel sure
that they are all very fond Of music. Many
of them, while very fond of instrumental
music of different kinds, have no chance to
play on any instrument.
Here is an instrument which you can all
make, and which, while it will not be very
elaborate one or a rival to your mammas
piano or the church organ, will give you lots
of pleasure and a sense Of satisfaction at
having your own self made something shat
will really play tunes when you wish to
render an instrumental selection. Besides

You can astonlsh your little friends by a
