Now when the Lord Mayor and his son had returned
home, Cedric FASTENED to keep his promise. For
Gerda the farest maid in Kssington-by-the-Se
and already he loved her dearly that he hoped she
would win the prize and become his wife.
He sent her the most beautiful flowers that he could
find and from his fathers garden its choicest seedlings
he brought shrubs from the city market
The meadow between Gerda's cottage and the sea
transformed if by magic and became mass of
and lovely flowers. The choicest foreign plants
the gayest native blooms the shyest wild posies-all
at home in Gerdas lovely garden over which the
sea-breeze blew. But Gerda herself was the farest
flower of them all. She watched and cared for her
garden tendery, and like the garden she grew farer
every day, she so happy. She did not know how
the other gardens grew, for she did not go to see
But sometimes the Lord Mayors son came disguised
as courter, to see how the flowers Jared And he
said that she had the most beautiful garden in all
Kssington-bytic-Sea, and he hoped that she would
win the prize, which was very encouraging.
No one else knew about Gerda's garden. 1t was far
from town, and one dreamed that stranger had

Hardly had he spoken the words when there
little ripple in the water at his feet, and beautiful
mermaid, appeared, cnging to the rock over which
the waves dashed PRETTY in the moonlight And she
said
Lord Mayors son. you have spoken the charm

fisherman caught me in his net and how you had pity
on me and took me to the ocean and set me free

Then Cedric told her about Gerdas garden and its

who used to sit upon the rocks and gaze down into

and loves the sea. Early this morning ] heard her
weeping bitterly for heT lost flowers and for you She

busy each with her own affairs that they had no time
to go about or ask questions, gossip; which was
good thing.
No, am wrong. One person had discovered the
open secret In villa not far from the Lord Mayors
house dwelt countess who was very rich and proud
Until Gerda came she had boasted the finest garden
gardeners whom she kept at her command She was
quite sure Of winning the prize in the end, and it
made her very gay though she cared nothing at all
about flowers She left all the care of her garden to
her gardeners and scarcely ever wandered down its
lovely walks But she onged to marry the Lord
Mayors son and live in palace. II was the palace
that she coveted as prize and the honor Of being
the Lord Mayors daughter; to ride lin the golden
coach.
She cared no more about Cedric himself than she
did for her lovely flowers

"old Nanny CipeytoeeI"
BY TUDOR jerks.

OFTEN, on some sunny day,
When little girls come out to play,
You'll see one strutting, head held high,
While after her, with hooking cry,
Her little playmates hurry by
Suddenly she turns about
And puts the knocking throng to rout.
They're playing, every fodder knows,
The game Old Nanny Tipsytoesl"
Now, who qOGs Nanny Tipsytoes?"
Where did she live, do you suppose?
Was she duchess stiff and proud
That children Knocked with jeering loud?
And did she turn and chase the crowd?
If she caught one--what did she do?
don't know, and so ask you.
Is there some little girl who knows
Who aVdS Nanny Tipsytoes?"

Y. NJ. c. A. MEDALS AWARDED.
Athletes Are Decorated Following the
Circus Performances.

The circus held in the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing on Friday and Saturday evenings was
so favorably received by those who at
tended that the management has decided
to give another performance of to-, kind
next year.
The money taken in was ample to defray
the expenses, although the attendance
was not as large as the affair deserved
to draw. refined touch was given to
the program on Saturday evening by the
opening and closing numbers on the Con-
gram which consisted of an overture by
Gordon's orchestra, and flute solo by
Mr.. e. II. Small. The chief stunt of the
evening, however, the animal hunt
by Roosevelt and a following of swarthy
natives, who were fitted out with guns,
canteens, etc. Teddy" bedecked in kakhf
suit and tropical helmet, made decided
hit, He and his band of dusky aborigines
stalked the animals around the track, and
just as they were on the point of firing
upon the beasts OF the forest the latter
thus avoided complete annihintioni Tha
credit of getting up this act is due to
Wallace Pettyjohn.
At the close of the performance medals
were awarded to the successful ce~ test
ants in gymnasium competition. They
were as follows: Gold medal to wallace
Terrain for best all around work. gold
medal to Sterling Cooper as second prize
for all around work; Ray Perrine, bronze
medal as first prize for work on the
horizontal bar; Harry AtweH, bronze
medal as first on the parallel bar; and
Arthur Bolton. bronze medal as first on

ed heavily with the Novelty audiences,
of course, took the task of reproducing
the ordeals through which love had to
go to its final possession and the to
gether' scene at which audiences pick
up their wraps even though there is a
little closing touch to draw the curtain.
The principals were able to hold their
audience at high tension through the
tight places and won tears instead of
smiles when the soft music played
and that is excellent: under their handi-
cap. There was less stumbling over
the lines among the supporters than
has been heard at some previous first
performances and the weeks play at
the theater beautiful is assured an APP

Your patience was never made to be tried
on baking bread at home. You haven't the
strength to mix the dough as it should be
mixed. Your oven in the kitchen range can't
be heated hot enough to bake bread as it should
be baked and flour is SO high, that you can't
make your own bread as cheap as you should.

source Of the job printing done by the
city and they have introduced anti
sweat shop measures successfully.
Their resolution not long ago was SUBJ

will accomplish the purpose. 1t seems
that there are a number of unsanitary
shops over the city and the union does
not believe that the city has right to
patronize them. The new resolution

there are any radical union bugs creep
ing around underneath.
