The Magic Umbrella ~
and the Beggdr Boy
Little Pietro, Too Small Obtain Work. Is Forced Beg
the Death of His Father and Mother Leaves Him Pennes
He Grieves Over His Loneliness and Suffers from Hunger
and Good Fairy Rescues Him; Finds Kind Friend

M ANY hundreds of years ago there
wi lived in a great city a poor little
AZ beggar of the name of Pietro
He was an orphan, and had not a
friend in the world to care for him.
After his mother and father died (they
had been poor market gardeners in the
country Pietro could not stay ON at
the little rented garden, for the old
landlord had said that he could not
keep a pauper about his place, and
that Pietro must look out for home
elsewhere. So. one rainy spring day
the poor, heavy-hearted little Pietro
wandered TO the city, five miles dis
tant from his former home.
Once in the vast city, where people
took no notice of him, the child might
have died of hunger had he not be-
thought him to beg for aims. He had
heard how the poor begged for their
daily bread In the great heartless city,
and decided to try living that way till
he could find some work. So he found

While You Are Young

A great writer puts something of the
whole of himself into every book he
writes-something of the child he once
was as well as the man he now is. So
when you read his book both as a child
and when you are grown you are in
the same sort Of relationship with him
as with the friend who has been your
friend all your life And that is one
of the finest and most complete things
that can come to you. But especially
the tales first written when the world
was young should be read while you,
too, are young; or you may never un-
defstand the adventurous, fanciful
quality that for all it's apparent hum
drumness goes to make up so large a
part of this old world.-St. Nicholas.

The November Rose

Both my little sisters
The Red Rose and the White,
Have gone to bed, and so | guess
It's time to say good night.
They're snuggled safe and comfy,
In their cribs down in the ground,
With lots of warm earth covers
Tightly tucked around,
I've had a~pleasant play-time,
The incest that could be
The Ferns, and Vines and Bushes
Have all been good to me.
But my summer dress is very thin
Just now it's rather chill

| surely will be ill p

sPook PICTURES

Do you know how to make a spook
picture of yourself? 1t is very easy
and most interesting. All you have to
do is to write your name in ink length
wise on a piece of paper and before it
has time TO dry fold ever the paper
close to the place where you have writ
ten the name, thus blotting it and
''smudging" it in all directions. When
YOU unfold the paper you win find a
nice picture of your 'spook," which
will abe entirely different from anybody
else's "spook.' 1t is fun to keep a
booklet of your friends "spook" pic
lures, which should be signed by their
real autograph and the date.

The fairy went with her home and

She went to school and during her

and during that time she saw nothing

themselves walking on straight, level

admitted by blowing horn which
hung by the fairy's side. The Queen

service that Globes merchants need, if they are to compete successfully with the Miami dealer. Of course, if nothing else were possible, our To- cal business men might resignedly fold their hands and accept the morsel thrown to them. But the necessity for this does not exist. The benefit of an hourly train service is easily avail able All that is needed is for the local merchants to raise their voices collectively in petition for the kind of transportation suited to their needs. And this, they cannot, without vio- lating the essential law of progress, fail to do.
 Provided only that our local representative business men are enough alive to the situation to always insist on Globes being kept in close railway communication with all her suburban sisters it is not difficult to look ahead to the day, not many years hence, when this city becomes, not a second Butte, but the holder of a proud position as the greatest mining center of the world. And in that day, the throbbing business heart of this metropolis will be Broad street and its ramiications while shining lines of steel rails will bind her suburbs, Miami and Copper Hill, closely to her, in commercial civic and ad- ministrative relations.
 So in accordance with it's past reputation for good judgment and prompt and intelligent ac- tion, the policy of the chamber of commerce in the Globe Miami railway question wi it is safe to say, be wholly worthy of this body of men which is fighting with Hits energy to make this city the reigning one of the great southwest and and keep her ever in that desirable position. With hourly motor car service to and from Mi ami, this growing little city that lies six miles beyond Globes limits, the local business man is sure to reap rich reward And if he is fair, he will give the lions share of credit for this to the chamber of commerce, the institution of his own founding that is generously contributing to the general prosperity that has made Globe grow and is going to keep her growing in the future.

Women in Spain.

Women of the middle class in Spain, accord ing to an English observer, are not highly edu- cated, but like their sisters of the working class they possess quick intelligence This quality is very marked in all Spanish women, and has been noted by travellers of many nation
 a1ities. It is, however, among the middle-class women of Spain that the Moorish tradition sur wives most strongly, and the lady is less "eman- cipated" than the peasant woman of the factory worker. A long code of inhibtions flinders her mental development. Her life is empty and aimless, and she lives in kind of Oriental sc- clusion. In political and social affairs, the wo-

The Divorcee's Expense Account

Munsey's Magazine for October publishes an article that IS doubtless put out for the purpose of showing Reno, Nev desirable place for marital malcontents to discharge their burdens. 1t IS not unreasonable to suppose that the Reno business men have had this article given to the public as commercial boost. To judge by the figures would-be divorce should prove lucra- tive proposition. The total cost of wriggling out of the marriage yoke in Reno is itemized as follows:
 Railroad fare to Reno and return with

GLOBES GROWING SUBURB

On Monday, October II, the new Miami town site will be formally given over to the public to make of it what it will This promising little city, now scarcely born, has future that is full of hope, of promise, and of industrial import to Globe district. It is the first outlying camp to be connected with Globe by railway and in this fact there is reason for Globe residents to rejoice.
 The connection of this city with Miami is one of the steps essential to making Globe the big gest and most prosperous mining center of the world ten years hence. And in this little muni- cipal daughter of Globe there is nothing to be ashamed of. For an enviable legacy of wealth IS hers Adjacent to Miam's confines lie ex- tensive mining properties of uneXcelIed wealth In another month the saw and hammer will sing its portentous music as the great plant designed by the Miami Copper company begins to rear its buildings on the hill above the townsite.
 And Miami, though an infant municipality has the facilities that go with genuine we'll ordered city. When the public takes possession, there will be waterworks under construction adequate to the needs of growing population There will be a substantial railway station The postoffce of Miami district will be established there. schoolhouse is soon to mark the first step of Miamis population toward making posterlty better and more efficient people than are the men and women of today. A news paper, the Miami Messenger, will keep the in- habtants informed of what the outside world IS doing. And lastly, giving the support and a reason for being to all, tons upon tons of copper ores will go from Miami, as a shipping center, to swell the total production of Globe district. And the goal toward which all these facilities and industries is leading is progress and gon. uine service to this world in which we live.
 Though as yet only probatoner in the ranks of industry, Miami is in line to ultimately arr rive as a welcome industrial addition to the forces that are making Globe district synonym for wealth, for energy, for progressive policies, and for the kind of truly American grit that, starting with only vision, builds genuine, ponderous, castelated reality, monument to progress and conquering force And all this will Miami be in the industrial tomorrow of Globe district And no wailing from out the tower of darkness where dwell the pessimists, can halt her advance to the status of healthy living municipality. Long live Miami Globes first industrial child
