tom to her own daughter. while the
stepdaEghter found it was always her
to the dishpan and the mop. When
there was nothing else doing her
stepmother would send her down to
the pond to gnaw the hard, old crust,
which was all she was ever given to
eat.
One day, while the stepdaughter
was busy gnawing her crust of bread,
woman, wearing strange, sweet
smile, suddenly appeared before her.
my child" she said, 81 am come to
help you. Do you know who / ann
20, yes, indeed" said the poor girl.
For | read the papers often. You
are Lydia Pinkham.
am good fairy l want to make you
mo, DEAR" said the old lady. Il
happy, and so / hereby command that
every time you speak golden coin
shall drop from your lips"
1.-The girl went home in great amaze
ment and at once commenced telling
her wonderful adventure"
Hush your noise,'' exclaimed ner
stepmother. Il don't want to hear you
talk. You talk too much, anyhow"
Just then stepmother noticed the
gold pieces that her stepdaughter had
minted while she was speaking. At
once she commanded her to go on
with the story. AS soon as she had
heard all the stepmother sent her
own child down to the pond to have
a seance with the good fairy. The
good fairy knew what Mr.. Grimm ex-
pected of her, and she was lying in
ambush for mammals daughter. She
knew that she was expected to put a
kibosh on this pampered and highly
INDUCED child, and she had deter
mined to do it by ordering that every
time the pampered child opened her
mouth, a big, fat frog should jump
out. This wasn't nice of the good
fairy, but when it comes down to real
mean tricks there's nothing can beat
the fairy tales.
But just at this interesting juno
ture, when the fairy, with both eyes
shut, was waving her wand wildly
around in the air, like Sousa leading
his full brass band, and throwing
kiboshes right and left, the step
daughter ran.up and, in the confusion,
the stepdaughter received the kibosh
that the pampered daughter had com
ing, and the pampered daughter got
the good luck which the fairy had on
the day before given to the step
daughter Then the good fairy. ig'
norant of how she had messed things
all up, went away.
When mamma came up she was
highly pleased She made both girls
speak, and when she saw golden coins
dropping from the lips of her own
che-ild and fat frogs dropping from
the beautiful mouth of her step
daughter. she shouted Hip, hip, hur.
rah"
Just then the Kings son, who was
out looking for some one to marry
rode up. The fond mother said: 90
Prince. you have long sidestepped
every time my daughter went past
and you have been for many years
casting goo-goo eyes at my step
daughter but now you will change
your mind and ask of me my daugh-
ter's hand in marriage, for 10, when
she talks, and such gabbler you
never heard before in your life, a nice
new gold coin falls from her hps
While, as for the girl at whom you
have been making goo-goos, she can
bring you nothing but frogs"
"Ah. | see" said the Prince. "The
good fairy has got her wires crossed
Well. my dear madam, let me tell you
that this is a silver country, and gold
is always below par, while frog legs
bring so cents pair at all the big
hotels in the kingdom. l shall marry
your beautiful stepdaughter and we
will set up large factory for canning
and exporting frog legs to ali the
world. and in a short time we snail
be so rich that we can consult beau
ty doctor and get that kibosh taken
off"
SO the Prince and the stepdaughter
ware married, and the Prince organ
lied frog leg trust and had himself
elected President. and after he and
his Princess had made s17,000.0J0 out
of the business they wrote to Madam
Squee Gee, who ran beauty column
in local paper, and, by carefully fol-
lowing her directions. TIE kibosh of
the good fairy was effectually re-
moved.
