When Toodles was a Fairy

Again Tottie groaned aloud and turned
on her bed of leaves.
Now play / heard you and am coming, I"
called Toddies from above. IAN right"
said Tottie in a very healthy voice.
"Ah, good woman, here am l." called
Toddie in q fslsetto voice. II can save
thou and your little children. They are
now being followed by q great wolf what
means to de-vour them, clothes and all,
even to their hair
"oh' oh, oh, good fairy, save my little
chil-dren!" walled Tottie In a very weak
voice.
"Oh, you oughn't to have called me a
fairy yet. for you aren't s'posed to know
who I am till I tell you." cried Toddies
impatiently. Now, play at you don't
know who l am. Just play at you call
out and ask me-"
"Oh. all right, Bruver,' said Tottie,
Then she assumed her weak voice again;
oh, kind person who are your"

Toddles in the high faIsetto voice. "And

your little children before the wolf gets

"Ah, I'll make you we'll" said Toddles,
pulling a little sprig from the tree bough
to use as a wand. 'Pll wave my wand
over you and make you strong again.
Here! One, two. three!" And Toddles
waved the little branch above Tottie'a
head. But in his eagerness to wave II
well-as he thought a res! fairy would do
were she waving a w~and-the little fell

he fell with a bump on the ground below
that made him give forth q shrek like q

Tottie. hearing the noise of his falling
leaped up in time to save herself from
being in the way of his fall, and stood
laughing at the poor fairy whose wings
had failed In their duty.
"Oh, you looked so funny, Bruver!'
said Tottie, between laughs.

HE geological survey Of India
ia has just published four large
pamphlets giving a summary OF
- the geological and geographical
IgT%lNs information concerning the
SJ Hlmalayas that has been ac-
cumulating for a century since the first
survey party was sent out among the
mountains in 1907, These volumes are writ
ten for the general public and the results
are presented in a popular manner
The first impression one gets from them
is that the Himalayas so far exceed every
other mountain system in the world in
everything that makes the greatness of
mountains that they stand In a class by
themselves.
Though these mighty rsnges have been
included in the survey scheme of British
India for a century, a great many Of their
lofty peaks are not yet mapped and there
are many hundreds OF SUBMITS whose
height is not yet known. But Of the
peaks that have been measured there are
seventy-five whose height exceeds 24,0O0
feet.
1t Is certain that there is no mountain
Of this height in North America, ard II
there is so lofty a summit in South Amer
lea the fact is yet TO be shown. Each Of
llNEt Sc III . - N~1A -
more than two miles higher than the loft
lest eminence OF Europe and stands four
fifths of a mile or more above the highest
point in Africa.
The geological survey catalogues these
seventy-fiye principal peaks In five classes
in order OF magnitude. The peaks of the
first magnitude. exceeding 1900 feet in
height. include only Mount Everest and
Kinchinjunga l; peaks of the second mag
nitude, between 1900 and 2S,OO feet, are
Kinchinjunga II and Makala; third mag
nitude, between 5000. and 27YOC4 eleven
mountains; fourth magnitude. between 25.-
coo and 5000. thirty-twO mountains, and
fifth magnitude, between 24,ON and ayOe0,
twenty-eight mountains.
Thus far SS7 mountains have been meas
ured whose height Is 1000 feet or more.
1t is estimated, according to the law OF
probability. based Upon the work already
done, that there are probably 1900 noun
tains I'm the Hlmalayas that are 1900 feet
or more in height.
There are besides many hundreds OF
prominent but lower SUBMITS. Very few
Of these mountains have native names and
the question arises how, as mapping OF the
Hlmalayas progresses. shall this vast array
OF SUBMITS be designated.
OF the seventy-five greatest peaks only
nineteen have native names. The Survey
says It would be a mistake to attempt TO

The Hunt

By Orian Mayes, Aged IL Years. Lusk,
Wyo. Blue.
One bright morning Earl came running
to his mamma, saying: o mamma,
Arthur wants to know If I may go hunt
ing with him. We won't go far. Please
let me go. He has a unch all fixed and
Wen have a jolly time"
II guess you may go this time" said his
mother. But be sure and be back by sun
set" alright" said Carl, and away he
went.
They trudged on through the woods until
they came to a brook, where they sat
down and ate heartily. Then they got a
cool drink from the brook and went on.
Pretty soon they shot a squirrel and
Arthur, looking at his watch, saw that It
was 3 o'clock.
They went on until they came to a rude
cabin, which they entered. Clouds gath

Plain, but Sufficient.

The late Josiah W. Leeds of Philadelphia
was noted for his life long fight against i'm
modesty. Mr.. Leeds reformed the theat-
rical poster, he elevated painting and in a
number of cases he even succeeded In hav-
ing nude statuary draped.
He loved simplicity as he loved modesty.
Ostentation he abhorred-especially the os-
tentation Of funerals and cemeteries. He
used often to quote an epitaph that he
had once seen in a secluded graveyard.
This epitaph, which was cut on the sim
plest, cheapest stone It is possible to
imagine, said:
This monument is very plain, no doubt,
but all the money in the world would not
have brought our poor father back to
us Against Louis Republic.

amount for one days work for any

reason. however. to be provo of the

In sl64O00 in applications.
The insurance applied for during
