bed. too. with him. She named her new
found treasure Frisky. and many romp
and merry play had he and Zita as the days
ssed on.
One morning a week later the bells of all
the churches in the village at the foot of the
mountain where Zita lived began to ring.
The peasants hurried from their homes and
labors to learn what was the cause. for the
bells never rang except on Sundays and holy
days. Some danger must threaten their
loved king or perhaps some sickness had
siezed Prince Otto, the fair. manly lad In
whom the country had its dearest hopes.
Zita's mot her, who was working In the VII
lage, made her way with the rest, and
learned that Prince Otto was greving over
the loss of his pet squirrel-grieving so
seriously that he had brought himself to
fever serious enough to threaten his life
The king, in telling this to the people, knew
that any one who had found the squirrel
would for Otto's sake return it. but as
the finder anything asked as his reward.
Zita'5 mother did not say word. She knew
that Zita's pet had found its owner, and
the poor woman trembled with JOY as she
realized that now perhaps. her wish in re-
gard to Zita might be gratified. and in such
a wonderful way. too.
Zita's heart was sore when she heard that
F'rsky must leave her. for the two were In
separable companions. She braveiy said.
II shall take him to the prince tomorrow.
but when her mother had fallen asleep Zita
cried out her sorrow with none but the
stars to hear
The following morning Zita was dressed
In her best. This was only the cOarsest
brown homespun and a pinafore OF I'M
bleached muslin. She was pretty that
she needed no adornment of fine clothes.

When Punch and Judy Was Young.

OF course you know that the funny little
figures that appear when Punch and
Judy is being performed are called mar
ionettes. This word dates back six hundred
years. when the people who lived in Venice
substituted wooden dolls for girls in their
religious professions. These were called
"mariettes" or little Marias. All through
the middle ages puppets played great
part in the amusements of the people.
From being mere figures in professions
these marionettes later held an important
boards, making love and killing people in
true actor fashion. In italian towns today
the most interesting puppet shows take
place. Each district has Its favorite pup
pet hero, and Punchinello is the favorite
with the people of Naples.
Pulchinello originally was endowed with

A Well Preserved Grandmother.

The train was crowded with the excep-
ton of one seat. This had been refused to
various people, the lady who occupied one
half of 1t telling every one who tried to sit
down that this seat is reserved" Finally
a little girl entered. followed by an elderly
woman. her grandmother. The child called
her grandmother to take the seat. but the
imaginary owner objected saying, as be-
fore, This seat is reserved" The eyes of
the child were black, and they lighted up
with indignation. She turned on the selfish
woman, and said in voice loud enough to
be heard through the car:
Il don't care II It is preserved. 1t isn't
fair to preserve a seat when my grand
mother has to stand. Besides every ono
says my grandmother is wonderfully
well-preserved lady, so she's just going to

A Monster Lightning Bug.

Did you ever hear the story about two
young men from Cork who had never seen
lightning bugs until they came across the
sea to America? 1t happened that during
their first night here the mosquitoes were
very troublesome, and both Mike and Pat
hid their heads under the bed covers. Find
ing this rather warm Pat ventured to put
his head outside just as FREELY fioated in
at the window.

and the white sunbonnet her mother tied on
her head was very becoming and pictur-
esque. Frisky was put in a basket. and the
soldiers guarding the entrance gate to the
royal palace at first thought that the wo-
man and child were two beggars. When
they were told that they had the princes
squirrel they admitted them to the kitchen
and bade them wait for orders from his
ma jeSty.
No place could have been more pleasant
for a waiting room. At least that is what
Zita and her mother thought. Most inter-
esting sights met their eyes. and the smells
nothing could describe them.
Dozens of servants were hurrying hither
and thither preparing the royal dinner.
Some were choppng raisins, some peeling
luscious fruits, some were roasting meats.
some baking buildings; while still others
were fashioning the most wonderful pas
tries and sweetmeats.
Soon the page (who carried their message
TO the king) returned and said that the king
would see the child in the audience room.
How Zita trembled! One might have
thought that the king was terrible mon
ster who ate little girl for breakfast food
every morning. AS soon as she saw him
all fears vanished. He looked just like any
other kind father. and his eyes were so
blue and smiling that Zita felt as II she had
known him all her life
''I hear my child that you have found
my sons squirrel How do you know that
It is the right one?" Before Zita could re-
ply there was violent scratching at the
basket. If Zita did not know who FriSky
was Frisky knew who the king was. AS
soon as he heard the voice he struggled so
hard to get out that the king bade her re-
move the lid. Out bounced Frisky, and
bounded on the shoulder of his highness.
deliberate and most impertinently biting
his ear as If 1t belonged to the poorest
peasant. Instead OF being angry the king
was delighted for he knew without any
further words that his sons pet had been
found.
The king saw the sorrow in Zita's face
and the unshed tears in her eyes she
realized that If the prince had won his play
thing she had lost hers Patting her golden
curls, the king said. Cheer up. little maid,
remember the reward. What shall 1t be-"
Zita did not have to wait 20 think. She
told him it was that she might become the
humblest serving maid in his household.
The king. however. said Nay. nay, not in
the kitchen. You are too fair and too gentle.
! shall create a office for you. You
come the mistress of the squirrel with
and help him to grow strong"
And so 1t came about Zita was installed
in the palace and her mother was given
position well AS the years went on it
was whispered throughout the kingdom that
the prince and Zita were sweethearts. and
the wonderful part of ii all was that the
king was pleased. The squirrel discovered
this condition of affairs himself. and gave
US his opinion that he would not be in the
least surprised II the story woulu end as
the fairy stories always do, that She mar

Nothing New Under the Sun.

When we ''loop-the-loop" we think we are
enjoying sport quite new. This is not so.
The accomplishment of what is known as
looping -the-loop'' was practiced as long
ago as the first half of the last century.
The French people ascribe the invention to
NJ. Claviere of Havre. At first the car
that did the "loOpings bore nothing but
bags of sand, but soon a passenger made
the venture. In 1850 the sport was a promi-
nent feature of the Paris Hippodrome. 1t
was reserved for America to throw the
sport open to the public, as is done at
Coney Island and other resorts.

THIS IS A PUBLIC MATTER
The Distressing and Helpless Con-
 ditiOn of Henry hO gan.

The attention of the public. for this is more or less a public matter. is called to the miserable condition of the pioneer Henry Morgan who is lying without any other attention than that of kind hearted neighbors, all alone in a house at 33S South Second avenue. He Is ab- solutely helpless.
 The old man has been growing fee bier for several months. He has not been up town for more than week He had wasted away almost to skel- eton and his voice had grown thin and weak, Of all men Henry Morgan should not be permitted to die of neg lect He is one of the men who made it easier for people to come to this valley and live here. He made life more secure. More than forty years ago he established himself among the peaceful Indians of the valley and he enlisted their services in keeping the blood-thirsty Apachs at a distance
 He was at one time far the richest man in this part of the country: per haps in the whole territory. He made his money trading with Indians and afterward he set up a large store in Phoenix. He was not of an accumula- tive turn. He could not help making money Tn those days and he spent 1t iiberally T. is said that no man friend or stranger was ever permitted to go hungry if his condition was brought to the notice of Henry Nor gan He lost a part of his wealth by speculation. Another great part of it found an outlet through his gener- osity. He spent still more of it unwise- ly. in way that did much more harm than good Anyway it all went and for years the old man has been living on the little that he could make as In- dian interpreter and by performing other services about the courts. At length he became so infirm that he could no longer support himself in that way.
 For some months the board of su- pervisors has been allowing him S1O but that is insufficient for the needs of a man who is quite as helpless as he is.
