FAIRY JUDGES THE CROW.

were far too innocent to mistrust evil
of one Of their number. But things be-
gan to look funny.
One day the Fairy Queen, who was
very friendly with the birds and flow
ers, disguised herself as an old, lame
sparrow. Just at dusk she came to Crow
and begged to share his nest for the
night. Crow closed one eye and looked
her over critically.
''Share my nest?" he repeated. There
is no room for such as YOU"
But l am old and lame, and very.
very feeble. pray you take me in"
''Pshaw!" snapped Crow. Don't
come around here disturbing honest
birds with your pleadings.
The sparrow brushed away tear with
her wing. Unwilling to believe that
Grow was wholly bad, she continued:
II am faint and hungry; will you not
give me some of the food concealed in
your nest?"
mo! moi" replied Crow. 1T is mine;
why should l feed stranger? l shall
need this myself in the morning"
What" exclaimed the Fairy, as she
recoiled shudderingly from Crow.
where did you get that little robin?
Do you rob your friends of their young?"
No." spluttered Crow in confusion,
trying to hide the dead bird with his
wing. "I-I-found it. Yes, I found it. "
In an instant the lame sparrow dis
appeared, and the Fairy Queen in all
her dazzling beauty stood before him.
Crow opened his mouth to explain, but
the Queen motioned for him to be silent.
Then she called softly to the other birds.
From all over the forest they came and
alighted on the bushes and trees around
her, till there was no room for anothe,
one.
Crow hung his head guilty.. The
Queen, with tears of sorrow in her eyes,
turned to the assembled. birds.
1T grieves me to learn that Crow.
whom all have loved and trusted, has a
bad heart. Disguised as lame SPAR
row, l asked to share his nest, but he
refused"
"Oh!" moaned the birds.
Hungry, I begged for food. Although
he had plenty, he gave not morsel."
"Shocking!" chirped the birds, open
ing and closing their wings silently.
II found dead robin in his nest,
and"
TERRIBLE! shrieked the birds in
chorus.
my friends, he-he-stole it, and he
denied it,
The birds bowed their heads in grief,
while Crow trembled so badly that, two
blue jays were obliged to hold him on
the limb.
HE must suffer the consequences, y
continued the Fairy, looking lovingly at
the birds. Listen, this shall het his
punishment.
because he has a black heart, his
feathers shall no longer be white, but
black as jet. AS he refused one whom
he supposed i'll and hungry, he shall be
forced to steal his food for the remainder
of his days, Farmers shall make war
against him, and shoot him as he pulls
up their corn.
because he used his voice in telling
an untruth, he shall never more be
counted among the song birds. Tho
only noise he shall make will be hoarse
cav. And it shall ever be thus, for so
the Fairy Queen has willed it."
$50 be it." echoed the birds, disap-
bearing in the thick forest.-1sadore c.

The Northwest Particularly Favored.

No other section of the United States
Is 30 particularly favored regarding trans
portation to tho Worlds Fair at st. Louis
as the Northwest, for the reason that the
only road that runs direct to the Fair
Grounds, and is the only line that ex-
clusively has . station Of its own directly
at the entrance of the grounds.
This feature will play a very important
part with visitors to the worlds greatest
show from Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, Manitoba, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
1t il also the most direct and shortest route
mates that most dsagreeable feature Of
travel that one must necessarily meet with
on other lines, namely, tho changing from
ono car to another enroute.
The NJ. & St. L. trains are composed of
the most modern and latest design of vesti-
buled Pullman Shoppers and reclining chair
cars, and with their buffet, library and OK
quisite dining cars attached, leaves no want
Of the traveller unsupplied in any manner
Minneapolis places ono right at tho door,
as it were, of the main entrance to tho
Fair Grounds. Near the Minneapolis &
st. Louis station may be found hotels Of
oil descriptions, which will save much
worry and anxiety, as we'll as exhaustion,
to many visitors. For, those who are
compelled to go down town to the Union
Station, where al other roads discharge
their thousands of passengers from the east
miles in street cars to reach tho grounds.
One will got a fairly good view Of tho
grounds from tho large observation win
dows Of the NJ. & st. L. trains, just before
arriving at their exclusive Worlds Fair
station.-Western Architect.

One way to win a wife.

James Barrie's Admirable Crichton''
has had counterpart in real life. At
least the resemblance is striking. He
was butler who for nearly twenty
five years cleverly managed the affairs
of three Englishwomen, even to invest
ing their money for them. Through all
the years, although he knew how i'm
portant he was to that little household,
he never forgot that he was the butler
and always preserved the most respect
full attitude toward his mistresses.
Suddenly however, one morning he
appeared before the women and gave
notice." He had saved up some money,
he said, and wanted a home of his own.
The household was appalled, at the pros
pect. Finally one of the women gasped,
Have you met any suitable persona"
mo, ma'am," answered the butler.
"Not up to now. But l must make it
my business to seek her." The three
women felt the foundations of theil
domestic happiness tottering, and in
desperation the most suitable of the
trio asked the butler to marry her.
After pause he accepted her hand in
his old respectful manner, and for
twenty-five years longer, in the position
Of master, he stayed in the house where
he had been for many years a. service.

Too Late.

Daniel Webster used to tell story
about an old woman who was very i'll
and went into a trance. They all
thought she was dead, and when she
opened her eyes her husband said in a
surprised tone, "Why, Mandy, we
thought We wuz dead" The poor old
woman looked at her husband a mo-
ment, and then she burst into tears.
"And We never bawled Bit" she
sobbed. Eye thought wuz dead, and
yer eyes wuz dry. Couldn't We have
bawled little bit, Jabez?" The old
man was deeply moved, and he did ac-
tually bawl then. But his wife said
sadly: cts too late now. Dry yer
eyes. If I'd really been dead and ye'd
bawled 'twould have done me some
good. But it's too late now"

what Wealth Brings.

The late Colonel Ingersoll was talk
ing one day with group of friends
when the subject of wealth and the
desire Of most men to accumulate
money was discussed.
IT never could understand it," said
the colonel. "Just imagine man with
100000 hats, 100000 pairs Of shoes,
100000 pairs OF gloves, 100000
handkerchiefs, 100000 pairs of sus-
penders and a train load of neckties
getting up before daylight and exert
ing every energy until late at night in
order that he may make enough money
to buy himself another necktie!"

MEMS DRESS CLOTHES.
How the Change From Colored GAR
ments to Black Was Effected.

HOW the CnanGe FROM COlOred Gar
ments to Black Was Effected.
1t puzzles us often, too, to know how
1t is that for SO many different occa
sions black is considered to be the
line attire and not merely fashionable,
but the only proper one, for which in
our society there is no alternative. 1t
may be argued, as it is with the silk
hat, that it is so severely respectable,
but if we could accustom ourselves to
the idea the same might be said Of
white, which would have the advan-
| tage of being much less gloomy. Clear
| ly the black is an old fashion, and as
for it's application to evening dress, in
which it is most of all de rigueur now,
while there was time when our an
cestors might tastefully dress them
selves in almost all the colors of the
rainbow for the evening, the adoption
of black simply came about through a
paragraph in celebrated novel, and
fact that we are not now permitted to
wear aught but the most solemn gar
ments at the time when we feel, to
say the least, more satisfied with all
about us and the world in general than
at any other period Of the day. Bulwer
Lytton's novel, Pelham" was the cul-
prit, and it is letter in this book pur-
porting to have been written by Lady
Frances Pelham to her son that set the
fashion. Lady Frances writes: 'Apro-
pos Of the complexion, did not like
that blue coat you wore when I last
saw you. You look best in black,
which is a great compliment, for peo-
pie must be very distinguished in ap-
pearance to do so.'' The man of the
day read these lines and weighed them
carefully, and what more natural than
that he should straightway come to the
conclusion that black was the one
shade which for evening wear suited
him perfectly? AS soon as he could he
discarded all his colors and took to it,

To make good paste for labels mix
together with cold water until they
form a smooth cream four ounces of
flour and an ounce and half of brown

drops Of carbolic acid to keep the
paste from becoming sour, and when it
has been well stirred in the compound

Wintry Weather.

The coolest spell Of weather we

some folks cay the coolest in 20
years-wasthat which prevailed this
week. 1t has not been suffocatingly
warm since November, but the weather
man got down to real business the
past week. Sleet. rain and snow Fri
day night put cold covering upon
the ground several inches thick. Mon
day the mercury began to drop very
swiftly and got to the zero marx,
something that seldom happens in this
section. Tuesday morning the REG
IsTEa thermometer showed 8 degrees
below zero, and others in town were
II below. Yesterday morning they
were again below the zero mark, but
it was not quite as cold as on Tues
day. The air was very dry, there
was no wind, and there was compare
lively little suffering by man or beast
The sleighing has been fine and the
bells have jingled merrily day and
night. Wagons grinding on the snow
mate music too. The cold wave was
general throughout the country.
