The San Francisco call., 1910-09-25

leave him there In case he called they
were to let down the willow rope; he
would send up first the three girls and
himself follow last.
The brothers were satisfied and said:
"All right. be it So
Morningdawn descended under the
earth. and somehow landed there.
where he found beautiful palace. He
went in, and. mind you. whom did he
see there? Why the kings eldest
daughter, who said:
what are you seeking here. where
not even a bird comes? Are you not
afraid to be killed? My master is
nine headed dragon"
"Why should be afraid? I came to
rescue you!" said Morningdawn.
Myself? Well. then. I am going to
tell you something, so that nothing
will happen to you. Look at this ring.
If you turn 1t upon your finger you
will get seven times as strong as you
are
Morningdawn put the ring upon his
finger and sat down. Suddenly an
awful noise was heard from far of.
Whats that? Is 1t perhaps thunder
ing?" asked Morningdawn.
Not at all. My master. the nine
headed dragon, is coming home. His
walking makes the noise" said the girl.
The minute she said this something
fell down outside with an awful crash
The dragon had slung his club into
the house from a hundred miles off.
Now they did not have to wait long
before the dragon was home himself.
Immediately he started to shuttle about
as though he scented something.
.sWho is here, woman? i smell a
strange Odor.
"Who should be here? Why your
brother in law"
my brother in law? Well. all right
Quickly get some stone bread. a
wooden knife'and then cook lead dump
lings."
Hastily the kings daughter cut wood
to make fire with. while in the mean
time the other two ate what stood
before them-stone bread. Then they
ate the lead dumplings; indeed. they
went at them so heartily that in a
moment all were swallowed up.
Morningdawn had hardly wiped his
mouth when the dragon called for him
to wrestle with him.
Mornin gdawn had no objection, but
went at 1t Immediately. They threw
each other down. up to the shoulder
one time and then again to the knee
until Morningdawn knocked down the
dragon so forcibly that he was thrust
into the earth up to his throat. Then
he took out his sword and cut off all
his heads.
Overwhelmed with Joy. the kings
daughter ran up to Morningdawn and
handed him a whip as reward. He
had but to strike the table with II and
the whole palace would turn into a
silver apple.
And so ii happened.
He whipped the table and instantly
the palace turned into silver apple,
which he put in his pocket.
Then he went on to the second pal
ace. where, from afar. he saw the
princess standing at the door.
Good day. how are your said Morn
ingdawn.
Glow are you? Good morning." said
she. why what are you seeking here.
where not even a bird comes? Are you
not afraid TO dieg My master is the
twelve. headed dragon"
what Is there TO be scared abouty'
replied Morningdawn. II came on pur-
pose TO liberate you from him.
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-25

hurriedly. Then turning the ring upon
his finger he became so strong that
nothing could hold him back, and he
Immediately flew at the dragon and cut
of the last of his heads. The third
princess then gave him whip and told
him to strike the table with 1t. He
did this and at once the palace disap-
peared. leaving nothing but an apple
made entirely of diamonds. This the
lad put In his pocket, and. telling the
three princesses to follow him, he led
the way to the hole whereby he had
descended into the earth.
Sure enough there was the palace,
just 1T had been before, and Morn
ingdawn called aloud to his brothers to
let down the rope. But to his great
unhappiness no rope appeared. and
after waiting for a long time Morning
dawn decided that he must have been
down In the earth more than seven
years and his brothers had grown tired
of waiting and gone away.
He was quite in despair for moment
until he happened to think of the three
apples which he had in his pocket At
once he whistled to small bird that
was passing. Here" he said, II will
give you silver apple III you will take
a message for me to the strongest bird
that you know, the one that can fly
the farthest and carry te most weight,
and another message to the bird that
has the sharpest beak, which can cut
hole in the rock" The little bird said
he would do this and presently he came
back with two birds, both much
stronger and larger looking than him
self. Meanwhile Morningdawn and the
three princesses worked like mad and
wove a heavy, strong rope from the
roots of the trees which Morningdawn
tore up. You see he had the three
rings still which the princesses had
given him. so that when he tired of
pulling UP trees he had only to turn
one of them upon his finger to find him
self seven times as strong as he had
been.
When the three birds arrived an i'm
mensely long rope was woven, and
Mornlngdawn said to the one of the
big birds who could fly the longest
distance: If you will carry one end
of this rope up to the earth through
this hole will give you golden
apple"
The bird said he would and started
off at once with one end or the rope.
and Morningdawn said TO the other
bird:
III you will go after him and make
the rope end fast in the rock SO that
we can climb up on the rope without
falling ! will give you diamond APP
pie."
The bird promised and started off
toward the hole in the ground. and
presently, AFTER long time, Morn
ingdawn and the princesses saw that
the rope had been made fast
1t was pretty hard climbing for the
princesses, but at last they were all out
OF the hole and on top or the earth
again, and after Morningdawn had
given the apples 10 the three birds he
took all three princesses upon his back
and scampered away toward the kings
palace.
And II you think the king wasn't
glad to see them you should have been
at the feast in the palace that night.
The other two brothers had long ago
given M0rningdawn up for dead. and
had never expected to see the prin-
cesses either. So there was great re-
joicing in the palace and triple we'd
ding next day after which all three
couples lived very happily. And maybe
they are living yet. Who can say?
The San Francisco call., 1910-09-25

well then" said the princess, Took
at this ring If you turn 1t upon your
finger you'll be seven times stronger
than now
Morningdawn put also this ring upon
his finger.
Soon afterward the dragons step
was heard miles away: the earth
actually shook from It. He too slung
his club home, hundred miles away
from the house. but of course Morning
dawn was not bit afraid. knowing
the rings value All of sudden the
dragon was In the house.
Listen, woman, Who is here? For
smell strong odorr' he roared.
who is here? Why, who else but
your brother-in -lawT' said the prin-
cess
.aThe brother in law! All right
wooden knife and cook lead dump
lingsw roared the master of the house.
They ate and ate and really made
away with all the lead dumpllngs. Then
they wrestled.
To Morningdawn it was as much as
nothing to subdue the dragon. He dealt
with him as hen does with young
chicken. He simply cut off the IL heads
on the spot.
Now upon that the kings daughter,
happier than can be told, came up to
him and gave him whip. BY whipping
the table the whole palace would turn
into golden apple
But now came the most difficult part.
Morningdawn went into the third
palace and there he found the kings
youngest daughter. She also told him
that the Is headed dragon was her
master and that he was surely going 70
kill him. Then Morningdawu assured
her that he was not frightened, but,
on the contrary, came to free her from
the dragon. Upon that she. too. gave
him tho ring with the magic power
that whoever turned 1t upon the finger
became seven times stronger than ever.
In the meantime the dragon also
arrived. His club had fallen down long
before and torn up as much earth as
would be needed for a house ground
Now this dragon was in a mighty bad
humor. for he growled dreadfully at
the woman
Hello. woman! Who is in this house?
/ smell strange odor.''
''Who else but your brother in law!"
what kind OF a brother in law? All
right. then. get some stone bread. a
wooden knife and cook lead dump
lings
The girl brought a stone bread as
round as a hayrick and wooden knife
as big as a board. Soon came also the
steaming lead dumplings! They
pecketed all so nicely that their stom-
achs became four cornered like a house
When they were through the dragon
challenged Morningdawn to have a
round TO better digest their dinner. So
they wrestled with one another In
the beginning neither got ahead of the
other. First Morningdawn was up to
his knees in the SOIL and then the
dragon was; then Morningdawn disap-
peared up to his throat in the sand,
and then the dragon.
In short while M0Iningdawn grew
tired OF this game and went at 1t in
earnest. He took a good onset and
really severed the dragons heads; IT
were already down, but one remained.
This one he could, not get in any way
In his fury the dragon roared dread
fully and demanded from his wife a
glass OF water; she brought the water,
but gave 1t In such a way that Morn
ingdawn got hold OF It and drank 1t

Electric Road
is Assured.
It's Now up to Marshall to
Have it Pass Through

The committee of Marshall bus
mess men who went to Kansas CT. y
Tues siay to meet like committees
from other counties ana the offic-
ers of the st. Louis-Kansas City
Electric Railway Co. say the road
is assured and that it is now a
matter of doing our part to have
it pass through Marshall. Those
who went from Marshall were: p.
H. Rea, c. M. Buckner, Joshua
Barbee, H. S. Tucker, w. G. Rea,
]. J. Mccoy, Geo. Hahn, w. W.
Hams, A. L. Preston AMI A. c.
Guthrey.
At the meeting Judge Nevins,
president of the company, explain
ed the situation. He said of the
two surveys made through Saline
the distance and cost of construc-
ton is practically the same. Mar
shall ana Higginsville had the
advantage of being larger towns,
but Sweet Springs ana Concordia
offered better inducements and
afforded new territory.
A meeting is called for tonight
Fri iay-at the court house, when
Judge Nevins will make a state
ment AMI say what is expected of
us. Be sure to come out ana hear
him. Mr.. Nevins says his COM
panyg wants no donations, and no
money till the road is graded. I hey
simply want to sell a certain
amount of preferred stock in Saline
and this stock is the best security
to investors and the small amount
asked makes it safe. Besides
there is hardly any doubt abou'
1t not being good paying invest
ment. Electric roads are paying
big ana this road has a splendid
section of country to draw busi-
ness from.
The men back of this enterprise
are not promoters, but men of
good financial standing we are
told and are stalking their own
money AMI the fact that they are
successful business men gives con-
fiience to investors.
Come out tonight ana put your
shoulder to the wheel.

last week by accidentally running
a sharp knife blade into his heart
while playing. His remains were

City Hospital
Proposition.
Now up to Our People foi
Their Approval. y

BY the generosity of Geo. A
Murrell in making an offer Of a
$4,000 donation towards a city
hospital. Marshall may secure this
much needed institution with bu:
little expense to our people. The
offer Is based on the condition that
at least an equal amount be raise !
by other means.
The Sappington Fund trustees
have agreed to set aside $4,000
towards this purpose and Robt
Campbell, Sr, has generously
headed the list of personal sub
scriptions with $1,000. So $751; 900 OF
the $4,000 required is provided for
1t is proposed to spend about
$SO,Ooo for the building $4,000 for
site ana equipment, and have an
endowment fund for maintenance
expense of not less than $4,000,
anj more IL it can be secured and
if our people respond literally 1t
will be an easy matter.
A hospital is needed here, as II
is daily matter for us to send our
sick people away from home
many times to die in Kansas City,
st. Louis or other cities-to pass
away or get well among strangers
or with their loved ones in a
strange city, entailing unnecessary
inconvenience and expense. With
a hospital here with at least one
trained nurse in constan. at.en-
dance and others close at hand,
and open to our physicians and the
public we would soon save our peo
pie many times the amount asked,
1t may be that some of you who
subscribe $50 will save $1OO before
year has passed. If sickness
doesn't strike you, you can afford
to help your neighbor. 1t will also
enhance property values in Mar
shall more than we are asked to
pay.
c. M. Buckner, r. E. Holloway
and j. A. Walker, trustees have the
matter of raising funds in charge.
They expect to call public meet
ing shortly when you will be given
an opportunity to help the causeN
along. If you are unable to at
tend the meeting they will make a
personal call-treat them we'll ana
10 yourself, your neighbor and the
public kindness.
