TIE CREAM
OF THE YEAR
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS


On the day before New Years all
the Inhabitants of the village Of
Bramwell were busily engaged plan
ming how they should snatch the
cream of the year from all their
friends, and especially from the long
old hermit fairy who lived in Bran
well woods
For in Bramwell the luck of the
year was buried in the first pitcher
ful of water that was taken all foam
ing and white from the spring in the
valley. Whoever got there first on
New Years Eve, after the clock had
struck twelve. and drew the first
pitcher OF water from the spring got
hthe cream of the year, and had moth
'-fhg but luck until another New
Years Day came round. So all the
VILLAGERS excepting the babies and the
'VVery old persons who could not run
i '"spent large part of each year in
planning what they would do on New
Years Eve to secure this treasure.
But year after year, just as the
clock struck twelve and the grand
irush for the spring began, the old
fairy hermit would come out from
his cabin on the mountain and ask
the breathless hurrying throng why
they ran so fast.
Then the person whom he ques-
toned was obliged to answer. "The
cream of the year! The cream of the
year"
i4 AS soon as he heard this the old
hermit fairy would put on his swift
est wings or his most magical boots
and watt himself over the mountain
and into the valley where the spring
was bubbling.
And long before any OF the vii
layers had reached the spring the old
fairy had dipped up a pitcherful OF
the water and was off with the cream
of the year, leaving a trail of Willing
villagers behind him.
Now the old hermit fairy could not
tell time as mortals do. He did not
know midnight from early evening,
nor the New Years Eve church bells
from the bells OF other days. In this
way the villagers of Bramwell had
an advantage over him, for of
course If they could once have suc-
ceeded in getting past his hut with
out his seeing that anything unusual
was going on, some one of them
might have snatched the pitcher
of water from the spring and he
never the wiser.
But they wore always so eager to
get the first pitcherful, each for him
self that they rushed very fast all
together. and made great noise
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-01-02

about 1t, so that the old hermit fairy
could not but know what was going
on. OF course as he was a fairy the
villagers were obliged to answer
truthfully any question he put to
them, and when he heard their fren-
Zied rush past his door he made use
OF this to compel them to tell him
where they were going.
On this particular New Years Eve
there was unusual excitement in the
village because a desperate effort was
to be made to defeat the old fairy
Soon after dusk all the villagers led
by pegons, the first Alderman, gath
cred on the green to make plans. But
though they planned and planned
they could think of nothing.
Even now he suspects some
thing" said the Oldest villager
pointing to the mountain. And there
sure enough, was the old fairy on the
rim OF the mountain, keeping watch
But even while they were point
Ing him out to one another the sound
OF horses hoofs was heard along
the high road. Everybody turned and
saw a strapping young man in scar

the villagers.
but, no." cried Peggy, the first
Alderman's daughter. ''it's is only

The newcomer galloped In TO the
circle of anxious villagers. Jumped
from his borse and doffed his cap be-
fore the nrsi Alderman

you stop quietly here will be able
to slip past the old hermit fairy
without his suspecting that anything
unusual is the matter" !"
"And what would you do with 1t
when you got it?" asked tho Alder
man.
81 would bring 1t back to you and
put 1t in the town hall, where it
would bring luck to the whole viii
lage," replied John Breen.
But the Alderman was a bold man,
and he resolved upon a bold meas
ure. "We have tried your way for a
good many years." he said to the viii
lasers. "and you have always scram-
bed so that we lost the luck of the
whole village. Now I am determined
to try something else, but in order
that you may have no fears | my
self will be the one to go and bring
back luck to the village" 49,.
Very well, Your Honor" said
John Breen, stepping forward again
with the greatest politeness; '1f that
Is your decision | bid you good day"
He vaulted upon his snow white
horse and was off, leaving the vii
layers planning to defy Alderman
Pegons' commands and rush away to
the spring, each for himself, as
usual, when the clock struck twelve.
Bat just as John Breen rode away
little Peggy ran out and whispered
In his ear. Here are three gifts for
you" said she. They are partly en-
chantcd and partly real and you will
know what to do with them"
The talking and the planning on
the village green had taken so long
that there was no time to be lost, so,
putting spurs TO his horse, he role
up the village street Gathering, for
he well knew that none of the vii
layers were at home, all having gone
to the green to start on the stroke OF
twelve.
When he reached the village town
clock he pulled out the first of Peg
gy's gifts which proved to be pair
of steel points, which he fastened to
his shoes, and in an instant he was
climbing up the spire. Then he
brolght out the second of the gifts,
which was a long cloth, and In a
second he had this wound around the
hammer OF the clock He was just in
time. The hands pointed at midnight,
and in a second more the time would
have struck.
Then he drew out the third gift,
beautiful pitcher, sparkling with
jewels, and with this clasped tightly
under his jacket he ran hastily down
the mountain.
Now the old fairy saw him com
Ing, but he thought that while the
gathering on the green was still i'm
movable solitary page boy running
home to the castle was of small i'm
portance. so he let John get well past
him AMI nearly to the spring before
he noticed that he had branched
from the road. ...
Then. indeed. he cried aloud. why
run so fast?"
But 1t was too late, John gave one
last lunge forward and plunged his
pitcher into, the spring.
"The cream of the year. The
cream of the year." he shouted tri-
umphantly, holding the brimming
vessel high in the air.
You may guess that the villagers
were glad to see him when he knelt
before pretty Peggy and held up the
precious pitcherful. for well they
knew that what Peggy had would be
shared by all the village.
AS for the old hermit fairy. he was
so chagrined when he found that an
ordinary page boy had outwitted him
that he never tried to get the best OF
the village again.-New York Her

ICE Man CONFR0NTs
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Michigan Finds Itself in Same
Condition as Other North
western States.

Special to The Journal.
St. Ignace, Mich, Feb. 3.-The prob
lem confronting the ice man in the
north country is becoming serious.
Reports from most points along the
shore Of Lake Superior are that little
or no ice has formed to date, in conse-
quence of the unprecedented spell of
warm weather, when in other years the
annual harvest of the crop has been in
full swing at this time.
An exception to the: general rule is
found in the copper country, where
some ice is now being cut, but of a
thickness Of only fourteen inches, part
of that snow, the operators deciding to
take no chances in waiting for ice of
the customary thickness of thirty
inches. Not pound Of ice has yet been
harvested at st. Ignace. Reports from
Marquette say the same conditions pre-.
vail there, and at Ishpeming, chunks of
frozen snow containing a few inches Of
ice are being cut on Teal lake. If the
weather only turns cold there is still
ample time to make up the shortage, but
present indications point to a veritable
ice famine next summer, with. conse.
quent high prices. .....
