The Story Grandpa Told

1t was a cold, bleak night in December.
The snow had been falling all day and
was still continuing to fall; but in the coy
parlor OF the Richmonds' all was warm
and comfortable. A great fire was blazing
on the hearth. Elizabeth, Hazel and Bob
were seated on a rug near the fire, telling
stories, and Grandpa, with Baby on his
knee, was rocking in his easy chair, list
eninB to their stories.
They had all told a story but grandpa,
and they were teasing him now for a nice
long story.

tell you a story about the west" said
grandpa.
Many years ago, when your mamma
was a little girl

chubby little girl Of 4.

lived in the western part Of the United

very careful that the waves don't catch
YOU Don't stand too near the bank.
Rover will go with you, because IL you get
hurt he can come and tell US" Mary
kissed her mother and went to the sea-
side with Rover running after her. When
they reached the seaside there were a lot
Of people there than Mary knew. But she
did not talk to them; she only ran
around the other side of the bank and sat
there making a chain out Of SEE shells
Rover laid down beside her. After a while
she fell asleep. One of the big waves
came and took her with It into the water.
Rover swan out and took her by the
dress and brought her safely to the shore.
Then he laid her down on the bank n
he ran to the house and barked and Mary's

bees swarmed about them, singing and
singing. >Florenzio was amazed, but did
not move from his chair in the corner. He
watched the bees fighting his uncle, aunt
and cousins, but had no thought OF gOinS
to drive away the vicious insects. Z
well, I guess they have enough OF
honey now" said the fairy's voice in
Florenzio's ear, Let them retire to their
rooms now and rave a week OF suffering.
In the meanwhile you follow me. I shall
lead you to a place Of safety and happl-
ness"
Florenzio had no difficulty in leaving the
hall, for neither his uncle nor aunt were
watching him, they were so intent on their
injuries. Both were suffering swollen eyes
and faces and arms and hands. Their son
and daughter were as badly stung. The
four presented a sorry sight as they
dragged themselves to their rooms, crying
out to their servants to come and cover
them with healing oils.
Florenzio followed the big bee all that
day, and when night came he found him
self in a pretty fishing village, where the
good fisher folk welcomed him among
them. And there in that quiet, happy spot
Florenzio remained till he was a man;
then he became one OF the greatest sea
captains OF his time, sailing into strange
seas and discovering strange lands. And
never did he forget the good fairy, who,
in the disguise of a bee, led him from THE
house OF bondage" into liberty and happi-
ness.
But all that happened in the days of
fairies.

The Cinderella Ball

For many years in the kingdom Of
Quivera the good kings Ak-sar-Bens had
decreed a grand ball at the harvest time.
Brave knights and fair ladies came from

brave gallants and their maids were men

realm did not attend the coronation ball

But last year II came to pass tina Sam

IL was In the early days OF this coun-

in front Of a very small sod house one
bright afternoon in September. Their
father and mother had gone to get food
and clothing at a little village about fiji
teen miles away, leaving the ohildren ia

Jamie had played for quite a little while,

Then, in amazement, he sat up and looked
all about for the owner OF the voice, which
did not sound like that of a human being,
and yet was soft and low. and spoke the
language of Florenzio.

Florenzio was trembling with excitement.

Back to the First Doctor

tistry lie presumed to be a very modern
profession. AS a matter Of fact mummies
were found in the cemetery of Thebes,
whose bodies probably came from before
5000 b. c., who have in their teeth the re-
mains of gold Filings that we're we'll put
in, and show good workmanship, nearly
5000 years ago.
with all this activity in Egypt, It is
easy to understand that the other great
nations of antiquity, also have important
chapters in the history OF medicine. It
seems clear that a work on anatomy was
written in China about the year 1000 B.
G. Some of the other eastern nations made
great progress. The Hindus in particular,
have, in recent years, been shown to have
accomplished very good work in medicine
itself. Charaka, a Hindu surgeon, who lived
not later than 800 b. c., made some fine
contributions to medical literature in Hin
dustani. Laparotomy was very commonly
done by Hindu surgeons, and one OF the
rules enjoined on Hindu students was the
constant habit of visiting the sick and
seeing them treated by experienced phyai-
clans.
1T is among the Greeks, however, that
the most important advances in medicine,
so far as we are concerned, were made
The first great physician among the
Greeks was Aesculaplus, of whom,t how
ever we ave only traditions.
The temples OF Aesculapius were the
first hospitals, though the priests were
not the only ones who practiced medicine,
for there we're laymen, who, after having
served for some time in the hospitals,
wandered through the country under the
name of Asclepiads treating people who
were not able to go to- the hospitals or
shrines.
six hundred years after Aesculspius
came Hippocrates of Cos, the father OF
medicine. He wrote some great works on
medicine that have never grown old.
Young men do not read them, old men
who are over-persuaded OF how much
progress is being made by their own gene
ration in medicine neglect them. The busy
practitioner has no time for them The
great teachers Of medicine whom all the
professors look up to and who think for
us in each generation turn fondly back to
Hippocrates, and marvel at his aoumen
Of observation and his wonderful knowl-
edge Of men and disease"

Common Impression Way Off

Is the press Of the country as much
given TO publishing reports Of crimes, scan

this impression gained because many people
read such news items in preference to those
Of a different character? The Toledo

whose work covered the indexing OF $500
news items IN a single year. says: There
were six times as many items referring to

with honeysuckle, syringa, morningglorys
and other climbing plants peeping in at
the windows. What he saw inside was
pleasant, but by no means grand. The
house was clean, with neat strips Of car
pet covering the implanted floor and a
small picture or two hung upon the walls.
There were a few chairs and by the largest
one was a small table with a book and a
candle on 1t. At the far epd of this room
was q little fireplace, where in winter q
cheerful fire lighted the room with a warm
light. BY the fireplace stood a large clock,
the only valuable thing In the house. It
was seven or eight feet high and proper
tionately large around.
"Oh, what shall we do?' walled poor lit
tie Bobby. 'Sh!' commanded Jamie, add
ing in a whisper, for the Indians were in
sight and people were hurrying into their
houses, You know the big clockl We can
get into that!' So saying, Jamie took
Bobby by the hand and hurried into the
house.
After fastening the doors and windows,
he took out the heavy pendulum of the
big old clock and Bobby and he crept in.
After locking the little door, they kept
as still as mice to listen II the Indians
were there yet. Sure enough! There was
the clatter of the horses hoofs and the
dreaded shout of the savage Indians. Lit
tie as they were, the boys knew that II
they made the least noise the Indians
would find them. They were white with
fear, for the Indians had broken In and
were searching the house for It's inhabi-
tants. After a vain search the Indians
came towards the clock, little dreaming
that two little frightened boys were hid
den in the heavy easement.
In a minute the brothers felt themselves
lifted, carried out Of the house and after
riding what seemed an age in their new
kind of a carriage, they began to wonder
where they were. Jamie then ventured to
peek out Of a little hole Through which
the air came) and found that they were
in a dense forest, and right before them
was a camp. In a little while the clock
was set down in a large wigwam, that
the boys guessed was the CHIEFS.
They stayed there all day, and when
they heard the Indians heavy breathing,
they knew they were asleep, so opened the
little door and stepped out.
They were afraid, but all was dark and
still, so they crept out into the moon
light. They had been there about five
minutes when something black appeared
in the distance. The fear hat more In
dams were coming made the little boys
shake, but still they kept on. Then, as
the figure drew nearer, they recognized
him and. with a suppressed cry of JOY,
Bobby and Jamie rushed into their fathers
arms. After being comforted, they were
taken home, where their mother met them
When the brothers had told their ad-

Florenzio quickly got to his feet and saw
on the ground beside him the jar full OF
clear, beautiful honey. "Ah, how quickly
you filled the JAR said Florenzio, speak
ing to the fairy. And were you not stung

The fairy laughed. Don't you see, boy,

they deserve, for they should lay UP their

trious bee of his honey. But, come, you

Refreshed from his sleep, and the swell
ing gone from his rms and hands, Flor
enzio hurried through the meadows and
over the hills homeward, carrying the jar
on his shoulder as lightly as though it had
been Of feather weight. Close behind him
flew and buzzed the big bee.
on entering his uncles house Florenzio
was met by his cousins, Adalina and Ed
wardo. "Ah, what brings you home so
quickly" asked Edwardo. III you haven't

have you flogged."

And he placed the vessel Of honey on a

upon seeing the Jar OF fine, clear honey,

Pretty soon the family Of four were

they put the delicate food TO their mouths

bees began TO sting them viciously. With

King 0ctober's Grand Farewell

By Francis Johnson, Age IA years, 92S
North Twenty-fifth Avenue.
winsome Lady Nature, long ago, in the
land OF Autumn. was preparing to give
a grand ball for King October. So she
ordered all the sprites and elves OF
Gnomeland to melt several gallons of Gold
with which to paint the western sky. and
thus form a canopy for the kings throne.
Then, she also asked that a thousand
diamonds and amethystst be set in. to
make the aspect more splendid, while,
spanned across the sky was to be an arch
Of exquisite colors, Immediately they all
set to work to carry out Lady Natures
plans, and as the next day the Monarch
October was to arrive, they began working
with might and main, and kept on until
Nights candles were lit. But, very
suddenly, when one little elfin beheld a
shooting star, he thought that the gods
were angry at him, and became so
frightened that he dropped one corner OF
the wonderful palate and, crash! It fell to
the ground, with all the gorgeous paints
on it. At this moment, Lady Nature became
80 enraged, hat she said to the elfin,
From this moment, you shall become OF
such qualities that you can only exist when
the air Is chill, and you shall then nip off
all the buds and blossoms. Just think! His
Majesty King October, arrives tomorrow
and nothing is ready"
But when the morrow arrived, who could
imagine a more magnificent sight. The
golden sunlight reflected a magic beauty
on some tall trees in the grove, which
before the calamity had been a bold green.
but now each whispering leaf had been
turned to gold. for the gold OF the kings
canopy, ~(sunset) had been lavishly spilled,
while the naples, words could not
describe their extraordinary beauty. FOR
all the richest crimson dye. together with
drops of gold. had been most aTtistically
painted on each leaf.
When Lady Nature beheid his Imposing
spectacle she owed all her gratitude to
the elf whom she had Just censured. and
spoke 20 him again, saying, " You are
to be the most important decorator in the
land of Autumn. Your name is to be Frost,
and for every grand ball that ! give in
the future for King october, you are, with
the aid Of a wonderful brush, to paint
beautiful every leaf and blade, I'm a single
night"
When the monarch arrived, he declared
that never had there been a more
magnificent display, and ever since that
time, King October is honor guest, once a
year, at a grand farewell ball, at which
the feathered choir and his fair subjects
OF Flower land also attend. Therefore,
when you gaze upon the hazy distant hills,
remember they we're formerly the for

castle. and when treading through
