irIshren Claim to Have Seen the
"Littie PeopIcs"

Here Ia a modern fairy story from
Ireland: One day about 20 years
ago. writes a correspondent. was
fishing from a boat on Tough Borg.
inquired OF my boatmen II they had
ever seen fairies. At first. fearing to
be laughed at. they secuted the idea,
but one OF them told the following:
On a Sunday he was returning after
mass, and stood with friend. named
Sullivan. on the bridge OF Killaloe.
Looking toward potato field on the
slope OF the rising ground TO the east
OF the town. a field which he was able
TO point ont from the boat. he saw
issuing from the liss troop Of little
people. one being distinctly taller
than the rest. At frst they seemed
rather blurred. then took distinct
shapes sud began to play the nation
al game OF hurley among the bare po-
tato rigs. He called Sullivan's atten-
ton TO them. but for some time his
friend could not see them, then said
he could. aud they watched the game
together for q time. Then the sun
went In. and the fairies. moving to-
ward the liss. as II returning to II,
vanished. Llsses are rough pieces.
sometimes hillocks. sometimes de-
pressions. often bushy. but never cul.
tivated. I have been told they are
left as doorwsys for the fairies when
visiting the earth's surface"

A SPOOL OE THREAD.

The Textile World OF Record is in a
Guandary. 1t finds that the American
consumer pays six cents for a two.hun-
died yard spool Of thread, while the
British consumer pays onl! three cents
g. reIactly the same spool. Both spools
ri course, are made from exactly the
tIme American cotton and, what makes
tie case most puzzsing, both are made
by exactly the same trust.
Commenting upon this fact the Satur-
d"y Evening Post Gays:
"We must allow for higher wages in
tbs country. The tariff does allow for
trat, and the trainers Of the Dinpley
schedules have never, so far as we are
aware, been accused OF underestimate
ing the difference between American
andforeign wages. The duty on the spool
IL n cent, and unless we ar to adopt
the starting hypothesis that the tariff
makers guessed short, we must accept
that as amply oyering the item OF high
er wages on this side OF the sea. Why,
then, tho other two cents per spool?
Upon what theory does the thread trust,
deriving its raw material from the Unit
I'd 3tates, charge it's American patrons
fifty per cent more han it's British pa
