The thieves who broke into the
butcher store of Morris Hemming. at

rupted meeting at which the manage
ment of the assembly ball was sud-
denly but painlessly transferred from
the hands of some of the younger SUBJ
scrioers to some of the older membsrs
has just come to light. Since the death
of Cortlandt Parker, sr., William r. Car

to that time, Cortlandt Parker. jr.. had
been chairman of the ball COMMITTEES for
many years, but, owing to the death of
his father, retired
A meeting of some of the younger
subscribers was called for October p
at 5 p. m in William carter's office in
the Prudential building. Many We're on

in their number We're Mr.. Carter Ed

They proceeded to make arrangements
for the coming ball
The most important business trans
acted at the meeting was the election
of Mr. Symington as chairman and
general manager. That was speedily.
and unanimously done. The "fee" ques-

crow and said:
Come with me, for Or has sent for
you"
So the Scarecrow followed him and
was admitted into the great throne
room, where he saw, sitting in the
emerald throne, a most lovely lady.
She was dressed in green silk gauze
and wore upon her flowing green
locks a crown of jewels. Growing from
her shoulders were wings. gorgeous in
color and so light that they futtered
If the slightest breath of air reached
them.
When the Scarecrow had bowed. as
prettily as his straw stuffing would let
him, before this beautiful creature.
she looked upon him sweetly. and
said:
81 am Or, the Great and Terrible.
Who are you, and why do you seek
me?"
Now the Scarecrow, who had ex-
pected to see the great head Dorothy
had told him of. was much astonished;
but he answered her bravely.
Il am only Scarecrow. stuffed with
straw. Therefore | have no brains,
and / come to you praying that you
will put brains in my head instead of
straw. so that | may become as much
a man as any other in your domin-
IONS
why should | do this for you?"
asked the lady.
Because you are wise and power
full, and no one else can help me-" an
| swered the Scarecrow.
81 never grant favors without some
return" said Or; but this much l
will promise: If you will kill for me
the Wicked Witch of the West l will
bestow upon you a great many brains.
and such good brains that you will be
| the wisest man in all the Land of Or.
Il thought you asked Dorothy to
kill the Witch" said the Scarecrow. In
surprise.
so / did. l don't care who kills
| her. But until she is dead l will not
grant your wish. Now go, and do not
seek me again until you have earned
| the brains you SO greatly desire"
The Scarecrow went sorrowfully
back to his friends and told them
what Or had said: and Dorothy was
surprised to find that the great Wizard
was not a head. as she had seen him,
but lovely lady.
"All the same" said the Scarecrow.
"she needs a heart as much as the
Tin Woodman."
On the next morning the soldier
with the green whiskers came to the
| Tin Woodman and said:
"Oz has sent for you. Follow me"
So the Tin Woodman followed him
and came to the great throne room.
