FOR THE CHILDREN
Quaint Superstitions.

In Ireland there have been for many,
many ages curious superstitions re-
garding fairies. In the old time these
imagined little elfins were thought to
be half human and half spirit nature
and had strange powers over human.
kind. The good folk Of Erin used tc
propritiate the fairies in many ways, a
few of them being as follows:
If child spilled milk on the floor
the mother would say, That's for the
fairies" thinking that some fairy had
caused the accident Thus the careless
child went unreprimanded. If one were
throwing Stops out Of the window OF
door she must cry out to the fairies,
'Take care of the waterv Otherwise
some fairy passing might get drenched
and retaliate in some unpleasant man
ner. If horseshoe were nailed over
one door it would prevent the fairies
from entering to do mischief to the in
mates. If a small piece of iron were
sewed into an infants garment the
fairies would never modest it by caus
Ing it to suffer collie pains. If a large
vessel filed with pure drinking water
were placed in the kitchen at night the
FAIRIES on entering would not touch the
food there, but content themselves with
drinking the water.

The songs your mother used to sing
In summer days of long ago
And those elusive. catchy airs

CLOSE OF SUTTON SCHOOL

The school at Sutton will close Friday evening after a most sue cessful six months term. Prof. Sam H. Davidson of Eudora, Kan. was principal of the school with Miss Hattie May Blake, of Pres colt, assistant, and there were 121 pupils enrolled. At the end of the fifth month it was decidedl to close the high school and Prof. Davidson left for Little Rock, where he entered the law school and Miss Blake continued the school unasSisted On account of having to erect a building, the term this year was shortened but it is hoped that the next term will continue the full nine months During the progress of | the school an enviable reputat ton was made in baseball and basket ball, and had the teams been able to secure dates with such places as TeXarkanA and Little Rock, would have made formidable com 1 petitors for the state champion l ship in basketball. The com- mencement exercises will be he'd Thursday and Friday evenings, and will doubtless be largely at 1 tended.
