The King and the Drinking Cup.

Centuries ago a great king, an ardent
lover of the chase was engaged In pursuing
stag, who, despite his best endeavors.
eluded him and his followers. finally lesv-
ing them hopelessiy lost in a dense forest.
After wandering about for some time they
came upon a hut. and the king himself.
dismounting, knocked upon the door.
young girl answered the summons and
soon directed him to the ri ht path. As he
was leaving he perceived well. the Gear
waters of which made him feel thirsty.
Returning, he asked the girl for a drink.
unhesiatingly she entered and soon came
out of the hut with an .arthen Jug by the
handle. filled with some OF the well water.
Instead of handing him the jug, as most
people would do, by the handle she held
that herself and handed him the cup side
wise.
The king said nothing: thanked her, and,
with his followers, rode away. Arriving at
his palace, he determined to reward and at
the same time give the peasant girl a lesson
in politeness. He sent for his jeweler and
commanded him 10 make a silver cup with
TWO handles and to present it to the girl
without comment.
A month or so afterward the king found
himself in the same forest, called at the
hut and politely asked for drink of water.
The girl went in and immediately came out
with a new two-handled silver cup full or
the sparkling water Upon this the king
thought she had surely learned a lesson.
as he had intended she should, but he was
most mistaken for she grasped a handle in
each hand and offered HIM nothing but the
side of the cup.
At this the king was sore perplexed. and
was doubly determined that she should
learn lesson in politeness. He cudgeled
his brains for a way in which to do 1t. Sud
denly he had brilliant idea. Sending for
his jeweler he commanded him to make a
silver cup heavily chased and bearing the
royal arms, with three handles.
The teweler, much surprised. because such
n thing as three-handled cup was unheard
of until that time. FASTENED off to do the
kings bidding. Upon competing the cup
he dispatched 1t to the poor peasant girl in
compliance with the royal command.
short time thereafter the king for the
third time found himself In the forest, and
by the now well-known path soon reached
the hut, where ne dismounted, knocked and
humbly asked for drink The girl came
out with beautiful three handled cup and,
taking two of the handles, she offered the
third to the king, who most delighted
with the success of the strategy so much
so that upon his return he ordered three
handled cups to. be made of all sorts OF

Dear Aunt Dorothy:
The beaver is what I am going to tell
you about He is one of the largest cous-
ms of the chipmunk, rat and prairie dog.
He is about three feet long. In the sum-
mer he wears soft, silken coat, which is
a reddish brown color and very valuable.
In the winter he puts on a dark brown
coarse coat to keep him warm. His face
is pointed like the chipmunk's, and he also
has long, strong teeth His tail is rather
strong and quite short. He has his hind
feet webbed so that he can push himself
along in the water

Birds Shun This Tree.

German authority has recently an
nounced the discovery of a tree in the for
ests of Central India which has most Gu
rious characteristics. The leaves of the
tree are of highly sensitive nature and
so full of electricity that whoever touches
one of them receives an electric shock 1t
has a very singular effect upon a magnetic
needle, and will INFLUENCE it at distance
of even seventy feet. The electrical
strength of the tree varies according to the
time of day, it being strongest at midday
and weakest at midnight. In wet weather
it's powers disappear altogether Birds

ever been seen upon IT.

THE OLD SUMMER HOMESTEAD
Out in the country where very few houses
stood there attractive home. Il
was large farm house with Ivy growing
on the side and climbing rose vine twined
up the front porch, making a sweet odor to
all who passed it. a garden all around the
house. with flowers of every kind growing
in it, and long walk leading up to the
front steps made a very pretty little home.
Back of the house was the dairy, and TO
one side the farm yard and to the other the
stable. They had pasture. where four
sheep and two cows fed. while back further

Dear Children:

Dear Children:
am going to talk to you today about the
letters which you write to Aunt Dorothy'
/ wonder sometimes If you realize no"
much they influence the weekly let.er
which she writes to you / am afraid
should lose interest in this particular cor
ner of the childrens page if 1t were not
for the friendly and confidential missives
which come from my many little corre-
snondents Your letters have shown con-
slant Improvement, too, and the contrlpu-
tons today are much better than those OF
six months ago. Don't you think SO your ,
selves? Look over the papers, those Oh
Won who have kept them and see II this IS
not true. You will notice that the most IN
teresting letters and stories are those Whlch
tell of actual occurrences or whlch reidte
facts which YOU have discovered for your
selves This is just as it should be. These
columns are given you for your help as
we'll as for your entertainment Ihere are
a number of children who have sent IN d
story letter or other contribution nearly
every week and who seem like old friends
to us. These have been so cheerful ana
persevering in their efforts, and nave made
so little complaint when they were not sue
cessful that they deserve special thanks.
Indeed il seems that the readers of The
Stars children's page must be a Spec1aiy
bright and interesting lot OF young 1oIks,
though, to tell you the truth. l am OF the
opinion that almost all chlldren are nice
if YOU only get on the right side of them
Now l want to assure you that all OF
your letters have been read and all the kind
and pleasant words in them fully appre-
ciated Your names. too, are safely tucked
away in my memory. and some day, When
| meet some of you. as is likely, L shall say,
why, | know you: l am Aunt Dorothy.
Then we shall feel like old friends.
When school closes and you are buslly
engaged In enjoying yourselves away from
your books and studies do not forget The
Star but write to us of all of the pleasant
things you do and the interesting things
you see. Those who must stay at home
will enjoy reading of the adventures or the
ones who leave the city. w men describing
ANYTHING give as many and as full particu-

MY ADVENTURES IN MONTANA.
Now, l hardly know what to write first
for there are so many things about that
country, nearly 5000 miles away, that
might be of interest to the readers of the
children's page of The Saturday Evening
Star. Not only Montana, but all of the
northwest, is a natural place for wolves
and coyotes, which live mostly by killing
and eating cattle. One day when 1 was
about ten years old my brother, who had
been raking hay became sick and took his
place on the rake. 1t was rake that was
easily operated by light touches of the
foot, and while 1 was so doing l was about
two miles away from the house l had to
get off the rake to fix something at the
bride of the horse. when l saw large
wolf trying to sneak up to get me; but
got on the rake again and went on RAJ king
up the hay. The noise of the rake kept
him a few PAGES away, until he was seen
by another person and driven away by a
gun. Many things that are of strange
nature in Montana come to my mind as L
write this story. 1 wonder how many
children who read The Evening Star be-
lieve that COW in Montana, when having
young calf. will hide it in the tall grass
or in some other good place in the morn
ing and get it If a wolf some other
wild animal does not get it first? The
calf may be strong and able to run many
miles, yet it will remain in it's place waiting
for it's mother If SO allowed. The air in
Montana is very clear and healthy. Our
place, near Great Falls, was about 100
miles east of the great Rocky mountain
range, and because of the clearness of the
air could see the mountains as plain rs
if they were only a very short distance
away. With the aid of our field glass
could trees and rocks thereon. Sun
river empties into the Missouri at the city
of Great Falls A few miles below the
junction is Black Eagle Falls. which is
forty-eight feet high. Over it they had
walking bridge hanging by wire ropes. 1
remember when 1 was on it that the
wind would make 1t swing backward and
forward. Many water falls are there, one
after another, below the Black Eagle falls
for the distance of twelve miles The last
water falls are the highest of them all. the
water falling ninety-some feet. l have
learned that many years ago, when the
Missouri river was first followed up and
the men came to the Sun river, they were
not able to know which should be the Mis-
souri,, the Sun river being nearly as large
as the Missouri. So they went many miles
up both before they decided upon it.
