ONCE in the long ago when
~ men were still rough and
uncivilized and so ignorant
as to believe that there really
were such things as witches, a
little boy and girl lived in a great
castle on the edge of deep for
est.
Now, one sunny day, Rufus
and Editha stood in a high tow
er of the castle overlooking the
wood. The boy suddenly said ;
Sister, let us adventure forth
i'll search of this witch-wife, who
dwells therein. If she be as evil
as men say, it is time the woods
were rid of her, and this | will
do with my trusty sword or bow.
If we find her i'll the daylight, her
magic cannot work against us,
and we will take good care to
come home before the set of sun.
What say you?"
Editha was at first very much
frightened at the thought, but
Rufus took his bow and arrows
and buckled on his sword and
looked so brave and fearless that
she at length took heart and CON
sented to follow him.
so we go forth like gallant
knights to rid the people of this
terrible witch, if terrible she bel'
he cried merrily, and they stole
away to the woodland gloom. By
and by they went SO far into the
dense woods that no sunlight
aickers were to be seen any long
er, and things looked dull and
dreary. Editha began to be
afraid and pleaded with her
brother to return. At last even
he thought they had gone far
enough, but when he looked for
a familiar path to take back he
could not find it. Night began
to come on and a few drops of
rain to fall.
Now Editha's tears came in
good earnest, and Rufus felt like
crying himself, but he knew this
would never do. The rain and
darkness increased and both chill
dren thoroughly repented their
naughtiness in running off. At
last their path ended~in sort of
clearing and here stood a little
house, very CHEEKY with light
streaming from the window, and
nearby a great fire of faggots,
over which was swung a big,
black pot, with a sayory odor
arising from it. A slender girl

I prince who had just come of

In this garden were many

flower was diamond of great

As Prince George walked
through the garden all the fairies
whispered; Behold our prince! !!
Where is our princess? p
Then the prince looked up to
The sky and cried aloud: Il
must find my princess? 7
He put on his velvet mantle
and jeweled cap and called;
"Godmotherl Godmother! Where
is my princess"
His godmother flew to him at
once-she also was fairy-and
whispered to him: GO through
the forest until you see a silver
palace with golden chimneys.
You must go alone and you must
walk or you will not win the
princess"
The prince walked through the
forest, and the stately fir trees
threw little green cones decked
With priceless Jewels at his feet;
they only bowed and said, Be
hold our prince!"
Very soon he same to a silver
palace with golden chimneys and
saw beautiful princess seated
on a ruby throne.

The Wrangell Sentinel announces that with it's next issue will appear its obituary. 1t is a sad commentary on the business interests of town when the only paper in it is allowed to die for the want of support. Even if the paper does at times get off on the wrong tack and say things that are not right, in all the main things the local paper can be depended on to stand for what is for the best interests of the town. The editor is human and there fore fallible, but it takes more nerve to publish adverse criticism to the world than it does to whisper it around the corner. The Sentinel has done much to rescue the town of Wrangell from oblivion, and it's demise is nothing less than calamity.
