Try A Republican Want Ad
To Fit and Mend Gloves.

1T has always been the custom of
gloves to rip at the seams and tear at
. the clasps before they can be really
said TO be wearing out. and the manner
OF putting on a glove generally has
something to do with Its life Of useful
ness. A curling iron should be used to
adequately stretch a tight fitting kid Of
suede before the attempt Is made to put

Loosely fitting gloves. selected indis-
criminately. wear out more easily. or at
least look more unwearable, than the
close-dtting ones. And again. many
women purchase gloves that will not 1T
their short fingers. the kid wrinkling on
the fingers for almost half an inch. Great
care should be taken IN their selection.
Wrinkled gloves do not give neatness OF
appearance and are an eyesore TO the
wearer. The way to remedy this Is to
have the measurement taken by an expert
enced salesman and have them fitted
properly. On the other hand. the close
htting glove must be q subject OF espe-
cial care. and a single stitch In time will
probably save IT. II they start to rip at
the seams, they are soon In a gaping con-

seams are invariably sewed with IN ex-
ternal buttonhole stitch, they should be
mended with the same stitch and cor

When the mending is done II is best to
strip the glove from the hand and while
wearing the right-hand glove allow some
one to ply the needle for you. In this
manner with the glove stretched snugly

The Fairies and the Star

BY Caroline Bixenman, 9O3' South Lincoln
Avenue, Grand Island, Neb. Blue Side.
Once upon a time in a beautiful wood
lived a band of fairies who had a very
wise queen.
One morning the fairies saw a star which
was very large. They went to the queen
and told her She, not knowing what it
meant, told one-third to go in the water,
one-third to go through the wood and the
rest to fly all over so to find out what it
meant.
The wood and water fairies went to their
places and came back with no answer. But
the fairies going to the star saw q gate
and a beautiful angel, who asked what
they wanted The fairies asked what the
star meant. The angel said there was an
other race called the human race and was
going to take possession OF the land and
all on it. The fairies looked up and said:
1--WE will give all our riches II God will
spare our lives. "
The angel said their lives were safe, but
they must only be seen at night, and II
they were seen at day the human race
would drive them away. Happy and yet
sad. the fairies came home and told the
queen what happened. But the fairies,
keeping the angels word. lived happily
ever after.

hours. The tactics they displayed seemed
human. Each appeared TO know the weak
point Of the other.
The spider stood much higher than the
roach, and the latter seemed to act mainly
on the defensive. His shell was a real
armor. and as he crouched low he seemed
TO be protecting himself with a shield. His
vulnerable spot was I'm the middle of the
back and he labored to keep this covered,
The spider made his attacks in a series
OF sudden springs. The roach, when on at
tack, aimed at the legs OF the other. One
after another of the long, thin extremities
he was down to two legs, and his method Of
attack became like that OF a prize fighter,
lunging furiously at his opponent when
chance presented Itself.
Most Of the time the advantage seemed
to be with the roach, but his strength did
not equal that Of the other. However, after
a long fight, he got away with both Of the
tarantula's remaining un~derpinnings. For
a moment it seemed that the roach had

less, was sim -unconquered. lie lay for a

This was a combat between two giant

Wen, he looks just like a cockroach, only
he IS as big as a mouse. This particular
one was a pet Of mine. 1 had bought him

The roach would come to me to be fed,

The Cunning SQUIRRELS

BY Arthur Mason. Aged II Years, 64s North
Clarkson Street, Fremont Neb. Red Side.
John and Rob had a lovely large walnut
tree IN their yard, and one fall It was full
OF great, green walnuts and they had
planned on enjoying them when they were
ripe, but there was a family Of squirrels
who liked walnuts quite as well as little
boys and they said: 1--WE must get those
nuts before those boys do and we are
much the best climbers, so before frost we
will store them away" And so they came
day after day, mother, father and the three
squirrel children, and no matter how the
boys threw clods at them, and even the cat,
Peter. tried to catch them, they came until
every nut was stored away for their win
ter use.
When the boys told their father he said:
wei, they know little boys can buy nuts
all the winter long, while some day they
may go hungry, and after all we can take
a lesson from them, to always be careful
when there is plenty and save up for times
when we may not be able to get what we
wish.

models shaped out In grass which from
the boat looked lovely. We stayed there
two hours to let more passengers on,
which, / guess, were about 300. After
that we saw nothing but water and a huge
lighthouse, which was prettily situated
amongst some rocks. Then we were nine
days on water without seeing one speck OF
land. Then we passed the banks of New
foundland. There we saw two whales a
short distance from our steamer, which
were Of monstrous size. Then after that
we came in sight Of nothing till we
reached the Delaware river, and there we
saw some nice buildings on the banks of
the river which reminded me a lot of the
River Mersy, Liverpool. We next arrived
at our landing place, Philadelphia, where
we had to pass two doctors and the Gus
toms house. Then we got our train for

began to dig. Soon they had all the inside
dug out. Then they took the seeds and
dried them so they might plant them next
spring. Then they cut eyes, noses and
mouths In their pumpkins, but Robert, who
was small, made his pumpkin look like it
was laughing.
Then, setting their pumpkins on the steps,
they went into the house. Each took 8
cents and went down town and got some
candles. When they came back they got
some matches and each took a candle and
lighted 1t. Then they made holes in the top
to let the smoke out. Then they blew their
candles out.
After the cobs, wood and coal were
brought in, they ate supper. After supper
they lighted their jack-o-lanterns. They
put them in front of the house on two posts
which they had put up that day. Then the
boys dressed up in sheets and stood beside
the posts. When any people came along
they said 'Bool'
Some little children came along and were
almost scared to death when the boys
Jumped out at them.
After awhile the boys went into the house
and went to bed, leaving the jack-o-lanterns
alone to scare the many people passing by.

Now Spring was always very kind and
after her brother, Winter, had driven the
birds away, folded leaves under deepening

other disagreeable things, kind little Spring
made a visit to Mr.. Sun and that Jolly

she wanted. Then Spring would call all her
fairy servants and at night when no one

which cleared the frost out OF the air and
gavo new life to both people and plants.

very rich. Mrs. Brown sent Ella over
to the large house with a nickel to get
some milk, so that they could make some
tomato soup for supper.
Ella started off. When she got to the
door she raped and a nicely-dressed
woman opened the door. She asked Ella
what she wanted. Ella said: Have you
got any milk, because mamma wants to
make some tomato soup"
Yes, 1 have" said the woman. Just
wait until John comes in from milking"
Soon John came in with the fresh, warm
milk. The woman poured some out into
a pail and gave it to Ella. The woman
gave her an apple besides and Ella gave
