very heavy, and fear Stalked about with
them at every step.
All day long the little Pinto wept and
called for the mother she knew could
not come to her, and all day long little
Dado sat with downcast eyes, his heart
too sad to allow of speech. Then as the
night came down the little ones crept
close together in a corner of the great
fireplace, where the huge logs placed
there the day before by their father
still burned brightly and gave out light
and warmth.
81 am so hungry" whispered Pinto,
thinking of food for the first time that
day. IT am so hungry that my head
spins round and round"
You must eat something, sister," said
Dado, rising and going to the cupboard
to find some food for his sister. But
only bit of dry bread was there, and
Dado remembered that that very day
was to have been his mothers baking
day, and that his father had gone out
hunting for meat when he met with
the fatal accident.
He gave Pinto the bread, but her sor-
row choked her till she could not swal-
low food, and she put the bread on the
table, declaring her hunger had van
iShed. IT'S mother and father I want
not food" she whispered, heart brok-
emily, burying her face in her apron.
At that moment the door opened ever
so gently, then closed again. But dur
ing the moments interval between
opening and shutting a white-robbed
figure had entered the room. Dado,
who was looking intently into the fire,
wondering what he should do on the
morrow for food and fuel for his sister
and himself, did not hear the slight
noise made by the opening and closing
of the massive wooden door, nor the
gentle football of the intruder. But
Pinto, her little ears eagerly listening
for anything that might happen-and
hoping against hope that all this
calamity which had befalIen her home
might prove to be dream-caught the
sounds, and she looked up from the
folds of her apron. Then she quickly
touched the hand of her brother and
pointed toward the newcomer, directing
Dado's eyes thither. "See," she whis-
pered; 1T must be a fairy"
Yes, my little ones, I'm a fairy and
/ came to earth to see what might do

thinking, spoke: Good fairy, cannot
you change my sister and me into
fairies-snow fairies? If you can, we
will remain here in the mountains and
be of help to the poor children who
need fairies help.'"'
Grave, noble little boy!" exclaimed
the fairy. 81 shall try to perform the
miracle you suggest. But'-and she
turned to Pinto, who was listening
eagerly to all that was being said
perhaps the little maid does not wish
to be a fairy"
Eyes, yes, 1 wish to be a fairy,
snow fairy, as brother says I would
not be anything else-if brother is one,"
Pinto declared enthusiastically.
The good fairy smiled and raised her
tiny wand. Passing it slowly over the
heads Of the little orphan she muir
INJURED some strange words; then, with
a quick turn of the wand, she cried:
Change, lad and maid, from human
to superhuman, from boy and girl to
snow fairies
A sudden darkness fell in the room,
and when again the light of the fire de-
fined the objects there Dado and Pinto
had disappeared and in their places
were two beautiful snow fairies, with
happiness before them, ''Ah, now we
shall carry you, dear Cloud Fairy, 20

Game of the Five Senses
Any number can take part in this
game. which requires a little prepara-
ton beforehand. Pencil and paper
must be given each player, and the
various articles for testing the senses
should be in readiness before the game
begins. A card and waters, such as
are used in progressive eucher may be
given each guest, to keep the record
of his successes and errors, as prizes
first and booby-are given for the best
and worst answers.
Taste-The players are blindfolded
and a tray is then passed to each in
succession with a dozen or more things
to be tasted-sweet, sour, bitter, bread,
cake, fruits. etc. Only a very small
particle of each is given.
The tray is then taken away, the
eyes unblinded and each player must
write down the names of all the arti-
cles he has tasted that he can remem-
Der.
Smell-A tray is brought in to the
blindfolded players with spices, medi-
cines, flowers and perfumes, which are
offered to them to smell; after which,
as before, they must write down the
names Of all the things they think they
have smelled.
Hearing - Again the players are
blindfolded while others of the COM
pany make various noises all at once
singing, crying, laughing, pounding,
ringing bells, tearing paper, playing on
musical instruments, etc.
Touch-A tray is brought to the
blindfolded players with various arti-
cles to be felt by each in turn. These
may be WOOL cotton, cloth, marble,
hair, flour, ice, china, glass and any
other thing thought Of Then they
must write down the names of the ar
ticles touched.
Sight-A tray is placed before the
players, now unblinded. and they are to
look at the dozen or more objects dis
played upon it while twenty is slowly
counted; then the tray is removed and
the players must write list of all the
things they can remember.

Soap Bubbles Without Pipese
Some time. when you have a soap

try wire ring, and then simply your

party it will be because they know as
much as you do.
The ring is made by putting a piece
of wire around the body of a bottle and
twisting the ends of the wire together
for handle. Ordinary soap and water
are scarcely strong enough for this ex-
pertinent, so it would be well to add a
little sugar to the solution, or a little
glycerine; in fact, in all bubble blowing

without catching your breath, so as to

thought should not be termed reason

cuseS for a position taken without

The chief argument used against
the guarantee of bank deposits was
the claim that it would encourage Wild

electoral vote as q matter of courtesy
to the party that opposed the guaran-
tee Of bank deposits she proceeded
to make a law of her own for the
guarantee Of the deposits in the state
banks. Now, here is what the
Springfield Republican says of the
results:

deposits from the state banks. and in
consequence many of the latter are
likely to stand out from under the
state guaranty and become insured in
the company organized by the ma
ttonal banks. If the state guaranty
policy is to amount to anything some
thing must be done, and the governor
talks Of calling an extra legislative
session. Meantime the national banks
there are engaging in a dangerous
business with their high interest rate
ofiers.
So. here the shoe is on the ether
foot. The so-called wild cat bank
producing guarantee plan makes pro-
vision that makes wild cat banking
impossible while the safe and sane
national bankers of Kansas, who
were so wildly shouting the argument
that the deposit guarantee plan would
result in the establishment OF wild
cat banks, have gone into the wild cat
business themselves.
Much more worth considering may
be learned from the banking cOndi-
ton in Kansas as described by the
Springfield Republican by those who
are candid enough to learn
First, the state guarantee law aD-
piled to state banks forced the ma
tional banks of the state to have their
deposits guaranteed. Otherwise the
state banks would have taken the
deposits from the national banks. We
see no signs 1of those strong banks
that needed no guarantee to secure
business beyond the prObity and
business ability of their management.
They were compelled to have their
deposits guaranteed or go out of bust
neSS.
Second. we, see the difference be-
tween the confidence in a system en-
dorsed by the-Ftate and one backed
by the national banks Of the state.
The organization of company by
the national banks to insure their
deposits was not sufficient to hold
their deposits against the state banks
operating under guarantee law Of
the state, but that in addition they
were compelled to offer from one
third to twO-thirds more interest on
deposits than the state banks were
permitted to pay.
Third, we see that the state of Kan
saS is not thinking of giving up its
system, but of relaxing its rules. We
see the national bankers Of Kansas
those advocates of safety and sanity
forcing the state to follow them in
the adoption of wild cat methods
When it was proposed in Florida to
pass a bank guarantee law the Times
Union thought the state might we'll
wait until the experiment was suffi-
GENTLY made elsewhere to show
whether a state could safely adopt
such a plan. and that Florida might
wait until the system was perfected
elsewhere. The Times-U Union did not
doubt the value Of the system If
adopted by the United States, but
feared that the guarantee of deposits
might impose on a small state a
strain which it could not stand. The
result of the experiment in Kansas
goes far towards settling this ques-
ton.
