names?" Rufus said: I'VE live in a
big castle at the edge of the forest and
our names are Rufus and Edltha.
Rufus did all of the talking because
Editha was still frightened. Editha's
and Rufus eyes began to blink fast be-
cause 1t was past their bedtime. The
kind woman treated them like mother.
She began to tell story: "Once upon
n time there were a little boy and girl
that lived in a big castle at the edge
of the woods. They believed in witches,
and the boy said, Come. sister, let $
go and kill the witch They started
and got out into the woods and it be-
gan to grow dark and they began 10
grow frightened"
She did not tell the rest because the
two little ones were sound asleep. She
began singing softly to herself.
The childrens parents began to grow
worried and began to search every
where. The woman was thinking when
she heard a knock at the door. She
put the two children down on pillows
and opened the door. There stood
strange man. She asked him in, and to
his great surprise there lay his two
darlings that he was looking for.

away to the woodland gloom. By
and by they went so far into the
dense woods that no sunlight
nickers 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
familiar path 10 take back he
Gould 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 a 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 savory odor
arising from it. A slender girl
was leaning above it stirring, and
singing a little song. Both chill
dren shrieked with fear, crying ::
"The witch, it is the terrible

and thrown down a volcano" Rufus
went in search of the cave where the
lilies grew. Edith stayed to keep the
girl company. Rufus walked along
till he came to a mountain and was
climbing it when he heard a roar; he
hurried on and came upon dragon IN
time to see it gobble up a whole flock
of sheep at one meal. He shot his ar
row at the dragon. 1t struck the drag
on in the lung and its breath of fire
came out and consumed it. Rufus
found the cave, plucked the lilies and
threw them down a volcano. He went
back and found Edith conversing with
the girl. She was a princess and had
been captured by robbers and sold to
the witch. The princess took Rufus
and Edith to the palace. Their father
was made a duke and Rufus was
knighted. Edith became one of the
princess maids. Long years after
ward the king died. The princess be-
came queen and took Rufus for
husband. They lived happy ever af-
ter. FRED 70. REID.

what they were doing away out there
at that time of night.
Editha and Rufus did not answer at
once because they thought she was a
witch. The woman talked so kindly to
them that they thought she was kind

seated them in front of a big fireplace
where she was cooking meat.

(Honorable Mention)

nHIS young girl was not a witch.
She and her father had been
Il bHsily engaged in gathering ma
pie sap from the maple trees in the
great forest. That day her father
had taken a big load of maple syrup
to town but a few miles away and
wouldn't return until the next day,
so this young girl was left alone that
night in the camp. Her name was
Iva.
In the evening she lit a bright light
in the little log cabin and made every
thing bright and CHEEKY, after which
she busted herself by boiling down
some maple syrup.
Iva was very much frightened when
she heard the cry, but recovered from
her terror when she turned and saw
the children. She spoke very kindly
to them and they soon forgot their
fear and came to her cabin, where they
told their story.
Iva smiled and said, 'There never
were any witches, my dear children,
so do not be so frightened. You can
stay with me tonight and in the morn
ing 1 will take you home and every
thing will be all right"
She fixed a snug little bed and Ru
fus and Editha were soon fast asleep.
They awoke bright and early the
next morning and after having a nice
breakfast of pancakes and maple syr-
up, Iva accompanied them through the
dense forest to their castle home.
They thanked her very much and never
after that, believed in witches.

into the bushes and watched. Pres
emily an old hag came out and asked
her if she was through yet. The girl
shook her head. The old witch, for
that was what she was, picked up a
fagot and fell to beating her.
Rnfus fitted an arrow to his bow
and sent it Whizzing at the witch 8
head. The arrow struck her on the
right eye and tore on through to the
left eye, binding her. She ran around
shrieking. Rufus stepped out of the
bushes and cut off her head. He
turned to the girl and asked her why
she was there. She did not answer
but traced these words with a stick
in the ground at her feet, 1.-THE witch

/ men were still rough and

as to believe that there really
were such things as witches,
little boy and girl lived in a great
castle on the edge of a deep for

Now, one sunny day, Rufus
and Editha stood in a high tow

wood. The boy suddenly said ::
Sister, let us adventure forth

dWelis therein. Ii she be as evil
as men say, it is time the woods

Ii we find her in 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.

San Antonio crops are even earlier than

Ohio truck farmers who have recently
purchased large tracts OF land in the ar

and G. II. Phillips. Of Lima, Ohio. are
some Of the men interested in the enter

made and solid trains OF San Antonio

The important fact in this connection IS
that rotation OF crops near this city and

Is Cool and SOIubriOus.
San Antonio, Texas. July 3l.-Heie is a
chicken story that, unlike so many others
now making the rounds in the press, has
the merit Of being both true and inter-
esting.
J. c. Nealy, OF this city, an express
messenger running between here and El
Paso. took up a case Of eggs at Sabinal
with El PasO as its destination. All went
well until Fabens was reached. At this
point the case OF eggs seemed TO emit
chirplng noises no welI-behaved egg crate
is identified with.
For the rest Of the run the messenger
spent his time trying TO locate the source
OF the uncanny disturbance. II finally
struck him as possible that the noise
might come from the crate. after all. and,
turning II over, young chicken made a
preclpitate entrance into the world. In
vestigation disclosed two more wee fowls
Though born under unusual circum-
stances. the little birds are doing well
and have been named Sunset, Hotset, and
Fastset respectively.
Mr.. Nealy thinks that the eggs were
not quite fresh when he took them up
and that probably the rays OF the sun
had hatched them 20 an advanced stage
when they were packed In the crate lie
also thinks that incubating chicken eggs
in the sun beats the machines made for
that purpose.

CERTAIN IMPORTS INCREASE
for Manufacture Show a
Large Advance.
Completed Figures Of Foreign Com
merce for Fiscal Year Now
Made Public.

Completed figures Of the 1903 trade in
100 principal articles forming the imports
and exports OF the country give the first
available view Of the trade OF the full
fiscal year 1909. They show a marked ad-
vance In imports OF manufacturers ma
terial a considerable advance in the i'm
portation OF certain food stuffs, but a
falling of In the Importation Of finished
manufactures. On the export side the
falling OF extends 20 all the great groups
-foOdstufrs. raw material. manufactures.
This statement is subject TO slight
notifications because OF the fact that the
advance figures Of imports and exports
OF the 100 articles. as supplied by the Bu-
reau Of Statistics Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, are only those OF
values and not OF quantities. and as
prices have I'm some cases declined. IL is
possible that the lower figures OF value,
in some cases at least, represent larger
quantities than last year. but in general
terms fl may be safely said that importa-
ticns OF foodstuffs and manufacturers
material show an increase and those OF
finished manufactures a decrease, and
that on the export side all OF the great
groups show q decrease when compared
with 1905.
The decline IN imports Of manufactures
occurs chiefly in the textiles-products OF
cotton. wool, silk. and hbers: also in
manufactures OF iron and steel The in
crease IN importations OF manufacturers
material occurs in nearly all of the i'm
portant articles-hides and skins, india
rubber. raw wool, and other articles Of
less Importance.
The decline in export OF foodstufs is
due apparently 70 unusually high prices
prevailing IN the markets Of the United
States and a consequent reduction IN the
quantity exported; in cotton, to low prices
Per unit Of quantity as compared with
those Of last year. the quantity exported
being more than 6Oo.OOo,o0O pounds in ex-
cess Of last year, but the value falling

manufactures the fall in exports occurs
chiefly IN Iron and steel OF various grades
and classes, copper. naval stores. lumber,
and other manufactures Of wood, and
