had words to express how really ap-
preciate it.
OF course everyone Except little
ones) know that there are no such be-
ing as fairies, at least not as they are
expressed in fairy books.
There is the fairy spirit, which can
pass through everyOnes soul if the
owner will only let it.
1 like to write stories very much, and
one day I wrote the following one:
THE MAGIC WORK WHEEL
ooh! Lorraine! Do hurry! You've
been at those dishes for forty-five min
utes. FOrty-five minutes!" repeated
the provoked little mother.
She did not know that the "pokey
little girl" cried herself to sleep every
night when she had gone to bed.
One night, when she was in bed, cry
ing, as usual, she heard a soft little
voice saying, Lorraine, do you want to
be able to hurry?"
Lorraine looked up and, to her great
surprise, saw a beautiful fairy.
She answered, Indeed, 1 would;
thank you, kind fairy"
Then Marigold (for that was the
fairy's name) waved her golden wand
over the soap box in the corner of the
room, and there, in its place, stood
something that looked a little bit like

I'm already up, mother DEAR" was
the answer.
''WelI. then, come on and get break
fast and do try to hurry"
Lorraine got breakfast in five minutes
with the aid Of the magic work wheel.
Her mother was too surprised to say
anything. She hurried through with
the dish washing, sweeping, busting
and everything else in less than half
the time her mother could have done it.
But alas! this was only a pleasant
dream.
When she did awake the next morn
ing her mother had to tease and coax
her to get up. When she remembered
her dream she jumped up out of bed
right away. She got breakfast all by
herself, when she usually only set the
table. She did go almost as fast as she
dreamed she die with the magic work
wheel.
She did all the rest of her work just
as fast, thinking Of the magic wheel
and her kind, helpful fairy.
Thus it is with every one. With the
happy fairy feeling one can do as much
as this little girl did. Such fairies are
the ones I believe in, and I think they
help all boys and girls to do better

wheels and a seat in the center. At one
end was broom and a carpet-sWeeper

cleaning.
Right in front Of the seat were quite
a number of buttons that looked like
electric buttons.
The first one said, "Sweeping;" the
next, DISTINGUISHING" and so on. There
was name on every one.
Just then Marigold disappeared, and
at the same time, by some of the good
fairy's magic, Lorraine fell asleep.
In the morning she awoke very
early, and it seemed that her clothes
just flew on her at their own accord
When she was dressed the fairy en-
tered the room and said, BE seated,
child, and whatever you want to do, all
you have to do is to press the button
that has it's name on and the magic
work wheel will do it for you"
Then she vanished, leaving Lorraine
to herself. The child did not get on
the work wheel Immediately, but sat
still, bordering.
In about half an hour her mother
tapped on the door, saying, Its time to
get up, Lorraine"

Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nephews and Niece
GOOD FAIRY PLAYMATES HERE
Hunt, Love and the Fairy Generous
Help in Education
First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
no 1 believe in fairies? Yes. Long
time ago when 1 was a very little
boy almost a baby. Every after
noon when L awakened from my nap
NANNY was waiting to dress me
and take me out doors. Mother used
to go over by the dressing table and
make the fairy lights dance all over
the nursery. l used to try and catch
the fairy light. Mother called it the
fairy soul spirit and told me L could
never catch it.
The fairies come to waken me and
kiss me and call me out to play with
the flowers and birds and little things
that crawl in the grass and to watch
the beautiful butterflies that used to
fan their wings open and shut on the
flowers. Mother told me, too, that the
butterflies were the fairies horses,
bringing them down out of the blue
skies.
Yes, she taught us that when we
lost our playthings they came at night.
The good fairy Hunt found them
and brought them back: Sometimes
the fairies left candy or cute little
things to play with, and this was fairy
"Love." Then there was fairy Cen
erous'' that used to tell us to divide
our gifts.
Dear Aunt Laurie, could write very
much about our dear fairies for moth
er, brother and / still believe in them.
She says Peter Pan is the most Won
derful fairy of them all. She does not
believe in young children going to the
aters, but Peter Pans play is such a
beautiful one for children. She told
me when she saw the great actress
Maud Adams play Peter Pam she
held her breath and tears came into
her eyes sometimes. When Peter Pan
said, Tinker, Bell is dying; clap your
hands if you believe in fairies" She
said Boys, said right out loud I
believe in Them and clapped my
hands,"
Some children do not believe in
fairies and all their beautiful ways,
but 1 do in many Of them.

MISSIONARY MEETING
 AT BAPTIST CHURCH
An Account Given of the Work in China.

The Missionary meeting at the Bap list church Friday afternoon was one of great interest. Miss St. John from Swaton, China, gave brief account of her work there, together with many of the peculiarities of the Chinese ill their heather belief and customs, and the manner of protecting their gods. Truly. they need the Light of the World" Miss BlOunt gave many in- tereSting incidents from foreign lanGs, and spoke of some of the difficulties to be met by missionaries-the one hard, yet imperative. thing to be con- quered was the acquisition of their strange language.
 Mrs. Winfield scott emphasized wo- mems work in the evangelization of the world, the efficiency of native Chris tian Bible women in foreign lands; the necessity of sustaining the schools there, supported by missionary socie- ties, where these women can be taught, and become helpful to the missionaries in reaching the native women. Mrs. Scott spoke of the amount that had been given by the Baptist women since the organization of theIr home and for eign missionary societies in 1878. the amount being one of which all would be glad to be participants-one and one-half million.
Arizona republican., 1909-03-15

But the society of the Congregation alists have given two and one-half million. This dates farther back. to 1903. when one of its charter members is said to have given twelve dollars, while at the same time her neatly mended dress showed dozen or more patches.
 The Presbyterian societies have giv- en three and onehalf million-but the banner must go to the Episcopalian society, which has given five millions.
 Mrs. Scott had no data to give for the amounts contributed by the Meth odist and Christian societies.
 As the president and vice president were both absent on account of illness, the efficient and greatly appreciated secretary, Mrs. A. B. Buckley, presided. She has held this office for several years and was unanimously reelected, and also the treasurer, Mrs. Percival The new officers chosen for the ensu- ing year were, Mrs. Winfield Scott, president; Mrs. Davies, vice president.
 The annual opening of the mite boxes" also took place. Not all of these given cut have been sent In, but the amount so far received was very grat- box containing over twen- ty-three dollars. After a generous thank offering" which included some five dollar bills. light refreshments were served.

About twO-thirds of the needed amount is on hand and the books close in two weeks for the fiscal year It is hoped that every woman of the church-and those in sympathy with mission work, will send in an offering.
