Yuletide Fairy Tales : :ss ' s's,.,
FATHER AND MoTHER4 AND eRANoPAP AND EVERYBODY.
The Lost Children and the Fairy Roses

Three little lost children, sep.
arated from their father and moth.
err in the City of Roses on the Pa
cific coast, wandered from one
street to another. all the day long
hungry and tired. At last, In the
evening. they found themselves in
front of great mansion which
seemed to be simply covered with
beautiful roses. They were very
tired. so the three little children,
under cover of darkness, crept un.
der the rose bushes and lay down
to sleep.
The roses seemed actually glad
to make them as comfortable as
possible, and SOON they were fast
s, asleep, one and all. Then the beau
tiful red roses began whispering
among themselves, for they were
very sorry for the lost children.
"They may eat me-" whispered
one great rose, offering itself as a
sacrifice.
''But they can't eat us, or would
gladly make the same Offer" re-
piled another.
"Well, they may kick about all
they want In their sleep. | shall
not object" interrupted rose near
the iron gate.
There was silence for some time.
None of the roses seemed to be
able to think Of way to help the
sleeping children. except to let
them sleep where they were for the
night.
Many roses nodded their pretty
heads.
Others dropped so low that they
seemed to be in tears.
But all of sudden young rose
which had not yet grown to full
size. raised its head and exclaimed:
"They shall PLUCK us and SELL
us. And In that way they will
earn money to buy their breakfasts
and who knows. perhaps we will
be better off for 1t: for we may be
sold to very nice people"
Good good" agreed another
rose which was much older. II am
with you. You are wonderful
young rose to think of such a
thing"
So when the big round sun came
UP the next morning, and the chill
dren awoke, the beautiful roses all
whispered in chorus:
'Pluck us and sell us for your
'thia-sast."
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-12-19

And the children picked big arm
fuls of the roses, for they were very
hungry. but they kissed them ten
derby, and were sorry to have to do
it.
And although the good people OF
the City of Roses had many beau
tiful roses of their own at home,
they DID buy the fairy roses, and
the children got their breakfast.
Then one of the good people must
have heard rose whispering in his
ear, for he took the three little
wandering children and cared for
them until they found their father
and mother again.

At the risk Of being fatiguing to orr

Please note this difference. oh

A Farmers Query.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
One woulG think from reading your
paper that the taxpayers We're getting
back from the State more than they
pay out Will You tell US where this
money comes from that the State has
to turn back to the towns? How does
the State get it, ii not from the towns
Sorne of us cannot see now it is posi-
bic for a town to get back for schools,
roads, etc, mora than it's STATE tax.
The Democrats make point of it and

We IRE glad to relieve the anxiety of

goes farther to credit the wisdom of
Republican administration than any
other.
If the average voter of Maine believes
with our Waterville correspondent that
the support of the State comes wholly
from the towns. he is greatly mistaken
Some have not thought and others

the State turn in. in aggregate, vast
sum which goes to help out the farmer
in building roads, and the small house
holder in the villages and cities who
expects to assist in the support of pub
lie institutions
These rich AMI powerful corporations
are owned principally and controlled
absolutely by ut-of- State capitalists.
If the State of Maine can build first
class roads and place our school sys-
tern on an equal footing with the best
in the world by compelling outside
capital to assist. should the farmer or

The Real Democratic Issue.

The Democrats began early and
worked hard. They bounded into the
political arena and delivered a wither-
ing broadside of charges against every
one in sight. The Republican forces
were taken by surprise and sadly dis
concerted at the start. They did not
believe the charges against the Gov
ernor and other state officials. but they
could not understand what conditions
could exist on which the Democrats
could base such statements.
The first move of the Kennebec Jour-
nal and other papers which represent
tho interests of the people, was 10
learn from the State officials and books
the exact standing of Names n
napcial affairs. The truth was made
public.
One after another the issues whlcf
the Democrats have sounded with
blare have been hammered down until
there is only one left 1t is the last
resort of a despairing Democratic or
eanization. They have talked extrav'
agance and limited at dishonesty, to be
refuted in every instance. And at last
they are driven to the wall and their
real lever-open liquor saloons.
The Democratic hope, is, obviously
to reduce the States tax rate by rev.
enue wrung from the hearts of mothers
ard wives and children-to tax the sa-
looms and let the weak-souled, thirst
ridden wretches take it out of the
mouths of those dependent on them.
Do the voters If Maine wish to open
