make good its promises of bountiful
hospitality.
The f,lks are a unique and original
organization, and although they have
imitators there is nothing just like
them in the fraternal world. They do
not make any pretense of ancient
origin and do not attempt to interfere
with other great secret organizations
or rival them in their fields of work
The Flks do not take themselves too
seriously, yet the order is founded upon
noble ana enduring principles and ac-
complishes a vast amount of good in
charitable work it does in it's wholly
transformations way. Brotherly love
and good fellowship are it's cardinal
principles. the Golden Rule is the
handspring of the orders activities,
and its motto is 1.-THE faults of our
brothers we write on the sands, their
virtues upon the tablets of love and
memory" 1t is distinctively an
American order and teaches always
the duty of good citizenship and the
glory Of true manhood. 1t dates from
1867 and was the outgrowth of a little
social organization of actors in New

its founding being Charles Vivian, the
son of Il clergyman.

 But that enchanted Jar disturbed him dreadfully. At last he could stand 1t no longer. Leaning back in the little chair in his playroom, he muttered, I've just got to taste that jam"
 Tiptoeing downstairs, he stole breath lessly into the pantry. Taking the jar from it's place on the shelf, he hurried ly removed the cover.
 Then a strange thing happened. The jam began to turn into a liquid. The liquid swirled round and round, and little manikins pulled themselves from 1t and jumped over the edge upon the table. Joining hands, a whole company of them hopped gaily in circle. You should have seen the mischief they got into after that. They ate everything in the pantry, and even caught the fish in the aquarium and gobbled them raw.
 Wilfred tried to go to tell mother. but the manikins ran, all together, at his feet and tripped him so that he fell to the ground.
 At last, just as Wilfred was beginning to cry, a little bell sounded. Thereupon, the elves quickly made their way back to the jar and jumped within. Wilfred replaced the cover on the jar at once.
 Then he awoke-for, you see, he had dreamed all this in his playroom.

 A little girl, who had been in the teachers charge for some months. was going to live in another town.
 Thinking that she should not allow her scholar to part without some few words of advice, the teacher said:
 Should I never see you again, I hope you will never forget to do your best wherever you may be, and what ever tasks you are called upon to per form. hope you will always be an honest, upright woman, truthful and brave."
 Imagine her feelings when the eager face was upturned to hers and the little girl replied earnestly, Thank you; and I hope you'll be the same"

 sultan, to do much for his people. undortunateiy. however. he had great enemy in Adab Suli. Adab lonRed to he prime minister himself and he was de- termined to secure the office at any cost.
 one afternoon Ali Bab was iured into quiet little garden back of the sul- tan's palace and there killed by two of Adab's servants. But there were two witnesses to this crime-Ben Ali and his closest friend. Hearing smothered cry, they had peeped through the dense thicAet upon the scene.
 Surely we must tell the sultan" ex- claimed Ben Ali.

 Ben Ali nodded. After thinking mos ment, he continued: T think I shall may gain audience with the sultan without being held for the offense. Ger tainly we cannot allow the crime to go unpunished. nor should the good Ali Bab remain unavenged."
 So Ben Ali presented himself before the sultan. The sultan did not at first believe him when be told the cause for Ali Bab's disappearance. but when slaves were sent to dig beneath the tree in the little garden the body of the for mer prime minister was found, as Ben Ali had said.
 Adab Suli was put to death and an- other appointed to the place of prime minister. The sultan did not forget Ben Ali. Surely such a wonderful prophet could be made good use of. He was

 Most of the Robbers agreed with Skinny, but Billy at last had his way. and it was decided that the gang would meet at Warmers barn imme- diately after school and see what Grumpy had in store for them.
 Every one was at the appointed meet ing-place on time, and they all set forth. excitedly discussing as to just what their visit might mean.
 Arriving at the path tEat led across fields to the farmhouse. the lack of enthusiasm in the errand became quite noticeable. Every fellow seemed anx- ious to let the other chap get ahead of him and to find place as far in the rear as possible.
 Finally. however. Bill Mumford felt his responsibility as leader, and. strid- ing to the fore. took his position as leader, at the same time chiding the Iaggards. Rather sheepishly the others mended their pace. but still failed to show the slightest eager ness.
