Prize Story

NEARGUERITE listened to the
N fairy, and when she had finished
ALA Marguerite said. Dear fairy
may 1 really go with you and help take
care of your beautiful flowers?" And
the fairy answered. Il will take you to
fairyland with ne, and 1 will ask the
queen of fairies if you may; but come,
let us be off, for it is a long journey to
fairyland."
Marguerite rose and followed the fairy
through the woods TO a beautiful gate,
which. when the fairy knocked, flew
open and they entered. This, the fairy
told her, was the gate to fairyland.
They journeyed on and their path be-
came more and more beautiful.
Finally they came to the palace of the
queen. which was very beautiful. The
fairy knocked and they were admitted
They followed the servant and they
were soon in the queens presence.
Flora, the flower fairy, told Mar
eucrite's story. and the fairy queen
cried because it as so sad, and she
said: My dear little girl, we are glad
to have you with us. But you know 1t
is sWeeter to return good for evil than
to have revenge. So you may go, and
will tell YOU where to find the sheep
Take them to your uncle, leave the
note which l give you in the house, and
return to fairyland, where you will be
very welcome"
Marguerite did as the fairy bade her
and returned to fairyland, where she
Eelped Flora, the fairy of the flowers,
and she was very, very happy.
Her uncle was sorry not to have her
with him, and he gricVed many times
over the words he had said to dear lit
tie Marguerite.

came where they went. That night
Flora made Marguerite the fairy prlh-
cess. The next day Flora went to the
flowers and some had seen some sheep.
Flora went to find the sheep and
they were the flock that the PRINCESS
had to tend to. Then she told the
princess and then she took the sheep
home and told her uncle that she
found the sheep. That night she ran
out in the dark and then she met the
fairy and they iiew to the castle.
The princess never left the castle
except to talk with the flowers in the
forest She loved all the flowers. but
she lived with the fairy the rest of her
days. DONALD HUFF,

Flora told the little girl to follow
her. They went through a little
stretch of woods until she came to
little house in a clearing. Although
Marguerite had been all about the
place she had never seen the house
before.
It's walls were all of flowers and the
roof was thatched like the roofs of the
old Acadian houses Flora told Mar
guerite to go inside. The little girl
went in through a swinging door She
looked around.
The room had walls of pink roses
and the floor was covered with yelvety
green moss There was in the room
a small table containing a tray on
which were some ruby red berries.
The fairy placed a chair for Mar
guerte and bade her sit down, while
she did so herself in another chair
across the table. Now, my dear, eat
some berries and I will think of what
l can do for you" said Flora, while
she smiled at the child.
After a while the fairy said: II have
a plan. Now if you have eaten enough
YOU may come with me-" They went
out to the place where the fairy had
found Marguerite. Then the fairy
struck the ground with her wand and
the wandering sheep stood before her.
"Now take the sheep to your uncle.
Be very happy and do not cry when
he goes to beat you. Talk kindly to
him and cook his favorite meals and

At night the Sand Man comes to town.
He wanders up and he wanders down,
lie Is just as quiet quiet can be.
He leaves no footprint for us TO see
When mamma sits on her rocking chair,
The old Sand Man Is sure to be there,
As she sings a lullaby soft and low,
And the fire burns with mellow glow.
The little head sinks on mamma's breast,
It Is such a pleasant place to rest
And the little lids veil the bonnie eyes,
Shutting out the tints of the sunset skies

The Sand Man chuckles happily
isn't it a beautiful sight to see?

Marguerite went to live with her
uncle, who made her take care Of
a great many sheep every day
While the sheep were playing
and eating the grass Marguerite
had to keep her eye on them to
see that no harm came to them.
One day a wolf stole among
the sheep, and they became
frightened and ran away. Mar
guer1te began to cry, because she
vas afraid of her uncle, who was
very cruel. When she went home
ana told him about the sheep, he
was very angry. After giving
Marguerite severe scolding he

sore and he could hardly breathe
with passion. He told her to leave
his house and not come back un-

her.
Marguerite went away and ran
into the woods, where she sat
down under tree to rest. She
heard a noise and looking around
she saw beautiful lady coming
toward her through the woods.
Marguerite started to run away,
but the lady told her not to go,
and she asked MARGUERITE to tell
her all about her life. Marguerite

Lady Flora took Marguerite to her
palace. 1t was a beautiful building
made of all kinds of flowers, ferns and
plants woven together.
LADY Flora then took her to the
dining room and gave her some supper.
After she had had her supper she was
taken to a bedroom and Lady Flora as
sured her that no harm would come

Marguerite was soon peacefully
sleeping and in the morning she was
awakened by Lady Flora, who SAID
they were going for a long drive and
she must hurry.
She gave Marguerite some pretty

eating breakfast.
Then Lady Flora took her to her

Is Sure
Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails,
Though Seldom Believed.

TASTE is the direct guide to the
stomach: and the taste buds are con
nected by the nerves with the stom-
ach itself, so that they represent its
health or disorder. If the stomach or
its juices are out of tone, the blood is
f%ermented by a change in the alkaline
or acid condition, and these reach the
1nouth both directly and indirectly.
THE taste buds are in the tongue.
and are mounted by hairlil-e proiec-
tons called papillae; they cover the
surface of the tongue.
when you taste these buds rise up
and absorb the LIQUID: inform the
nerves: the nerves tell the stomach. and
the food is acceptable or not, just as
the stomach feels"
The above remarks on taste comes
from an eminent authority and sim
ply explains why when one smells cook
ing or sees food n thinks he can
eat. but when he tastes he learns the
stomach is out Of business.
To the person who cannot taste
Alright, who relishes no food and sim
ply forces himself TO eat, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets hold the secret of en-
joyable eating, perfect digestion and
renewed general health.
Most men wait until their stomachs
are completely sickened before they
think seriously of assisting nature.
When your taste for food is lost it
is a certain sign the stomach needs
attention. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
cure such stomachs. They restore
sweetness of breath, renew gastric
juices, enrich the blood and give the
stomach the strength and rest neces-
sary to general duty.

arts Dyspepsia Tablets and every drug

In a hollow Of an old oak tree in
our yard lives the busiest little squirrel
you ever saw with his family. From
morning until evening you can see him
seeking food. No wonder his wife and
two babies are so sleek and fat. We
children watch him from the window
day after day. laughing at the way
he jerks his plumy tail and sits on his
mind legs holding a nut I'M his tiny
paws. We have named him Nut
Finder.
Sometimes he runs along the top Of
the fence, then jumps to the ground Just
in front Of our puppy to tease 1t. Then
when the puppy gets close, he darts UP
the trunk of the nearest tree and turn
ing around. chatters and scolds the dog.
who sits gazing at him in the funniest
position imaginable.
Across the street in a wooded lot
lives a gay bachelor squirrel with what
seem to us the brightest eyes In the
world. This one we have named Frisky,
his movements are SO quick and full of
mischief. Sometimes when Nut Finder
goes away, Frisky comes over and
steals from his neighbours store of nuts.
One morning he came running over to
pry into Nut Finders pantry and Nut
Finder caught him. Then a battle be-
gan. They bit and scratched and rolled
over each other until you could not tell
which was which. Finally Frisky fed
home, with Nut Finder after him. fe
stayed close by his tree-top hous for
several days.
